Russell is back for another run against Murtha in 2010, but Republicans appear to be pinning their hopes on businessman Tim Burns instead...Burns is independently wealthy and is open to putting some of his own money into the race.
Oh swell. The Pennsylvania Republican Party, run by Murtha crony Robert Gleason, and the NRCC are backing this guy Burns in the Republican primary. How special.
The same Pennsylvania Republican Party and NRCC that didn't lift a finger to help Diana Irey when she challenged Murtha in '06. The same clowns that didn't help Bill Russell in '08 until it was way late in the game and too late to make a difference.
I'm sure Tim Burns is a fine fellow, but since he's independently wealthy, I say let him fund his own primary effort, I'm not buying into it.
Of all the Congressional races this year, why in the world would two Republicans have to battle in a primary.Bill Russell and Tim Burns should unite right now, in a full-throttled assault on John Murtha. Bill Russell, the retired Army Ranger, highly decorated Gulf War veteran, should be the only Republican in the race. If Burns wants to get involved, let him throw his money around on Bill's behalf. Let him stump for the man who was at the Pentagon on 9-11, and whose son is the youngest survivor of that infamous jihadist attack on the Pentagon.
jail is where they belong
