Re: John Murtha says Republicans Will Continue Letting Our Troops Die Until After the Primaries |
Murtha has little or no credibility on military matters until he apologizes
for calling American troops murders before, and especially now that charges
have been dropped in the Haditha case. His anti-military rants when wrapping
himself in the flag won't fly with the honorable men & women in uniform
although the left fringe will trot him out there when they think he can be
used for political gain!

"Murtha: Primaries May Stall Iraq Action
KIMBERLY HEFLING
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Rep. John Murtha predicted Monday that Democrats will not be
able to pass any meaningful legislation to end the Iraq war until
presidential primary elections are over next year. . ."As soon as the
primaries are over, you're going to see Republicans jumping ship," Murtha,
D-Pa., said in a speech at the National Press Club.
He said it will be difficult to get the 60 votes needed in the Senate to
pass a withdrawal measure through Congress. Primaries are scheduled into
next June.
"I see what happens to a Republican when they say we ought to start to get
out," Murtha said. "They bash them. I mean they attack them viscerally and
of course they're the ones that nominate them. Until that plays out we're
going to have a problem."
After the speech, Murtha said he's been told privately by some Republicans
who publicly support the war that they are opposed to it. . ."

In other words, the Republicans are going to sacrifice 500-600 more troops
so that they can continue telling lies to their fanatical base and get
reelected.

Why should I not top-post?
The internet is all about communication. Communication is the eliciting of a
response. Effective communication is the eliciting of a desired response.
Trolling is the stubborn assertion of a view that the poster knows to be
obnoxious to the community of readers.
This newsgroup thrives on threaded discussions. There's no way to build a
threaded discussion with top-posting on a newsgroup whose majority members
conventionally use bottom-posting with selective relevant quotebacks.
Top-posting severely inhibits others from understanding the conversation,
because the context of the conversation is lost.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One reason why top-posting is so disliked is that those who do it very
rarely bother to snip any of the preceding post(s) - they leave masses of
quoted text trailing underneath their (frequently very brief) reply. This is
very wasteful of resources, especially for those with slow dial-up
connections, or those who may be downloading to a laptop from a mobile
phone. It is a habit which many people get into when using e-mail (when it
does have some logic to support it, especially when the e-mails are taking
place within a large organisation), and which they carry over into news
without realising that the two mediums are very different in their nature,
or that there could be any other way of doing it. The days when people were
required to lurk and learn for six months before posting are long gone!
The next reason is that it is actually logical that the question should come
before the answer. To quote a poster in another newsgroup:
A. No.
Q. Does top-posting make sense?
A third reason is that it is often better for a reply to be interleaved with
the quoted text, paragraph by paragraph, as each individual point is
answered. Imagine if this were to be done with the reply before the quote,
rather than after it!
A fourth reason is that, although there are some groups where top-posting is
tolerated or even encouraged, it is generally discouraged, and it is good
manners in any social situation to go along with what the majority are
already doing when you arrive - e.g. not lighting up in a non-smoking room,
or complaining about smoke in a designated smoking area, or stripping to the
buff in a convent, or hugging your overcoat around you at a nudist camp.
A knock-on effect of this is that the content of a top-poster's post is less
likely to be given attention than if they had posted in accordance with
custom and practice in the group.

Even after the apology he will have no credibility.
