It looks like Congressman Norm Dicks, Democrat, will take Murtha's position as defense spending subcommitte chairman...He is from my district here in Washington State......Dicks is a fiscal Conservative and a social liberal whom I have voted for the last 30 years...He is a good man when it comes to taking care of the military and although I don't agree with him on social issues I am happy to see him get this position...........He will not betray our military like Murtha did in the last 6 years...

WASHINGTON — The death of the chairman of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee is likely to elevate U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Belfair, into his place.

U.S. Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Penn., died Monday of complications after gallbladder surgery. He was 77. The Marine veteran who became a critic of the Iraq War was for two decades the ranking House Democrat on the defense appropriations panel.

George Behan, chief of staff to Dicks, said he expects the Belfair congressman will become chairman of the powerful defense spending subcommittee. “The committee has to vote, but that will be the case,” Behan said.

Unlike you Republicans Navy, we aren't afraid to criticize our own. In fact, there are a lot of spineless Democrats that need to go....they are no better than Republicans.

However, you Republicans will support every Republican that are out there...even the completely wacko ones.

It hasn't happened in this thread yet.

What you're witnessing is a libertarian criticizing a Democrat.

I don't like his social liberalness, but I agree, he is a good choice to honor our soldiers. Soldiers should not end up being homeless after they leave the military.
 
Both big liberals and anti military..........same thing........

Wrong again ..as usual. Libertarians aren't anti-military. We're anti-misuse of the military. Does that distinction cross your radar?
 
Norm Dicks has been very smart about getting funding for Kitsap Co.....
IE, Bummerton, Keyport, et al.......;)
Washington State will get big money, CHA CHING!......:)
I had no idea you lived in Libtardistan, my right wing friend....
Well, you don't have to call me a friend, after all, the night has ears.....;)
Too bad he is a Libtard at heart.....
The problem with this state is that our U.S. reps have been around for awhile....
I want to vote every Libtard out of office, but it will hurt this state....
Quite the conundrum......:doh

I hope you don't truely believe this,since the evidence shows you are dead wrong.

Gee, I thought Navy Pride was showing well just for the fact he is willing to concede some social issues for the sake of military matters he holds up more highly.

Your closing sentence makes no sense in light of his willingness to support this Democrat. (?!?!):confused:

Why does this thread include the handle of the person the linked quote was meant for?!? It makes it look like the wrong person made the quote.

I had to edit my post so it referenced the correct quoter.

We have many military bases in my area and Dicks always gets behind them and gets what is needed to keep them up to date and to keep our military the finest in the world...........
