I will have to admit. It is fun seeing democrats eat their own. It will also be quite instructive as to the hypocrisy of Pelosi and the democrat majority should the blatantly corrupt Murtha actually end up as Majority Leader.She will ensure that they [the Murtha camp] wins. This is hardball politics We are entering an era where when the Speaker instructs you what to do, you do it, he (Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) said. Yes, shes making calls to people.

Either way, its damaging, the member said. She will have a tremendous road to hoe to repair the damage shes done.

IT IS TIME TO GET JOHN MURTHA OUT OF OFFICE

According to the Hill, such actions by an upcoming Speaker are unprecedented, and are already starting to tear apart the upcoming democrat majority, even before their oaths of office have been taken:
