From Taylor Marsh:
"... He's in New Hampshire. He's making a political speech. He's sitting in his air conditioned office on his big fat backside saying stay the course. That's not a plan. I mean, this guy, I don't know what his military is, but that's a political statement. This is a policy difference between me and the White House. I disagree completely with what he's saying. Now let's give you an example. When we went to Beirut, I said to President Reagan get out. The other day we were doing a debate and they said, Beirut was a different situation, we cut and run. We didn't cut and run, President Reagan made a decision to change direction cause he knew he couldn't win it. Even in Somalia President Clinton made a decision we have to change direction. Even with tax cuts, when we had a tax cut under Reagan, we then had a tax increase because we had to change direction. We need to change direction. We can't win a war like this. This guy is sitting back there criticizing, political criticism, getting paid by the public taxpayer, and he's saying to us we're winning this war and they're running. We have to change direction, that's what we have to do. You can't sit there in the air conditioned offices and tell these troops who are carrying 70 pounds on their back, inside these armored vessels and hit with IEDs every day, seeing their friends blown up, their buddies blown up and he says stay the course? Yeah, it's easy to say that from Washington, D.C. ... .. The public is way ahead on this. The public is 2 to 1 against what we're doing and they want to change direction. That's the thing I see the most." - Rep. John Murtha on "Meet the Press"
Yeah. Stay and Pay.
