Governor Rendell of Pennsylvania prevented US Troops in Iraq from voting in the 2004 election because of corruption in Harrisburg. The US Dept of Justice had to intervene to allow votes by US Troops fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan to be counted in the 2004 election.
Maybe Rendell and Murtha should have bumper sticker - "To Hell with our Troops and what they fight for"... It would be appropriate...
