Murtha's reckoning
Thomas Lifson
Rep. John Murtha's disgrace in denouncing the Marines of the Haditha incident is not going to fade away gently into the night. William Russell, has returned from a tour of duty in the military and is running against him. His campaign has produced this video featuring Darryl Sharratt, the father of one of the Marines accused by Murtha of being a "cold-blooded killer." His son Justin Sharratt has subsequently been fully vindicated, and all charges dropped.
Darryl Sharratt's video does not have the produiction values of a normal campaign commercial, but in his own way, this father is eloquent in standing for his son. If the people of Murtha's district can see beyond the pork barrel politics he practices, he should be retired to his ample Congressional pension. The man is a disgrace to his office.

Good luck to anyone running against Murtha! The problem is Murtha bought that district with massive pork the voters have gotten used to.

GOOD LUCK!!! You can check with the people from the Johnstown area but I think the Republican party chairman just about endorsed him last time. Take out the University of Pittsburgh satellite campus and Murtha pork is Johnstown. There is nothing left when Murtha goes.
The republican party should guarantee keeping the pork in place as a bribe. Murtha is old and bribery is all that will work.

Retire that pri*k!!!!!

To: paguch
I appreciate the good luck, but I've heard the pessimism before. Those of us trying to help Bill get rid of Murtha don't share the same luxury of pessimism. I wish you luck enjoying it on your own.

It seems the pessimists just can’t resist, as if we all don’t relize it won’t be easy. Bill Russel needs donations more than good luck wishes.

God Bless you! I may have said it was hopeless but Murtha is sooooo bad that someone must take him on. Bill Russell looks like that man.

Thank you Paguch, I know Russell will appreciate it.
He is a very good man and hopefully there’s enough Dems in the 12th that are fed up with Murtha’s shenanigans and dissing of our military that he’ll be the one to unseat him.

I sent freema an email a week or so ago that had a link to an article that showed Murtha behind, both in the polls and campaign cash!
I don't have the link now but perhaps Freema still does.
Chubby Dumpling ( Murtha ) is going to fall this time!
