House GOP Fails to Kill Murtha Pet Project

You wanna know why I just about gag every time I write something here that could be even vaguely construed as supportive of the Democrats? Look no further ... it's a "two party system" for a reason, and the parties should rename themselves Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum.

House Republicans early this morning invoked a parliamentary procedure in an unsuccessful attempt to kill the often-derided if little-known National Drug Intelligence Center, a small federal agency created to coordinate the drug war as well as a pet project of one of their chief nemeses, Democrat John Murtha of Pennsylvania. Murtha has led his party's efforts to impose troop withdrawal deadlines in Iraq.
