No wonder here. Even the Richard Mellon Scaife-backed Pittsburgh Tribune-Review regularly endorses Murtha. Why? He brings home the bacon for voters.

Hypocrites.

"The challenge was filed by two local Republicans... WTF?!!"

The Republican Party has been eaten out hollow by liberal Democrats who have penetrated the party.

Well, maybe they can have a change of venue to New Jersey. It’s OK to ignore election laws there. Just ask their supreme court.

This area is where I grew up, and I had hope for Diana Irey’s efforts. But now, it’s all so sad.

The challenge was filed by two local Republicans: Former Johnstown Mayor Don Zucco and attorney Jeanne McKelvey. Zucco said only, “There are lots of ways to support the congressman.”

Disgusting.

What happened to that Irey woman? She decided one try was enough?

I heard it was a family decision. She was just re-elected as a County Commissioner.

I see that they don’t care to identify William Russell as Lt. Col, USAR.

Way to attack a fellow soldier, Murtha...

I noticed that too. It's Murtha's hometown paper.

Murtha’s committee supports the challenge: “ We believe that all candidates running for office should follow the law.”

Wouldn’t that exclude Murtha from running?
