What you’re seeing here is the supreme arrogance of a guy who’s shoveled
so much pork at his district over the past 30 years that he’s concluded he’s election-proof, and therefore perfectly comfortable dumping on his supporters in a taped, on-the-record interview less than three weeks before the polls open
Gee when I read that part I thought you were speaking of our "friend" Steny Hoyer. The guy who said he didnt care what his constituents wanted, he knows whats best for them.
Yes: When I heard Murtha said this I thought his constituents might get a little ticked off, but then I realisd that they are all bought off by the pork he supplies. Just like Steny again.
