What I learned from watching Rep. Murtha shake hands and shmooze.
First, Jack Murth is a man with class, a true gentleman and a great statesman. I really wasn't surprised because he is a career politician but the thing that struck me the most is what EVERY singel person said to him.
"Thank you for standing up to the Republicans on the issue of the war in Iraq. Let's get our troops home ASAP."
EVERY single one! If there are any Dems out there who still think that we need to run away from our opposition to Iraq, they only need to get out of their comfortable DC bubble and talk to the people. America is so far ahead of the politicians it is shocking.
