You have to watch this a few times to really understand how congress votes. It's unbelievable!
An Insult to Our Democracy (8/3/07)
Rep. Jack Murtha presides, ignores reality to push through his preferences without a vote.
Some comments:

After some of his other comments and actions, why is he still allowed on the floor. He obviously doesn't care about "we the people" one bit.ExplorePearls (6 days ago) +18 Reply | SpamThis is like watching a movie to show how corrupt the chairman is...OH WAIT this Washington DC 2009...Murtha should be impeached - he is a transparent powermonger in this clipcslicer (1 week ago) +2 Reply | Spam198,976.cslicer (1 week ago) +29 Reply | SpamSo why does Pennsylvania KEEP voting him back into office ?xrt199 (3 weeks ago) +128 Reply | SpamAnyone who looks at this, Repub or Dem, should be outraged.

Our democracy is unraveling in full view of the public, but no one seems to care enough to stop it (or know how!)
Murtha is huge disappointment, and a jerk. I hope when he runs for re-election, his opponent plays this clip 24/7. Remember during the election when he called his own constituents "red-necks"?
