[Crichton]

Russell has already stated he’ll support Burns in the general election if Burns wins the primary and he has never said he would support Critz. You are being disingenulous implying that.

I never said that and have taken pains to distinguish between the special election, primary, and general. At some point one figures the reader will catch up.

Russell is refusing to support Burns in the special election over Critz.

Are you supporting Burns over Critz in the special election?

I don’t know whether you think you’re cute or what by implying smoothsailing, myself and Russell are supporting Critz because Russell doesn’t publicly support Burns in the special.

Get it through your thick skull that Russell is running against Burns in the primary, that shouldn’t be hard for even you to understand.

You are a complete idiot if you think any of us would support Critz, he’s not only a RAT but a Murtha RAT. The only Republican that I know of who supports RATS in PA is the chairman of the PA party, Rob Gleason. Gleason supported Murtha for years and now it seems Gleason wants Burns over Russell, that should tell you something.

Our support Russell is not new nor arbitrary. I wouldn't expect you to know that however.

Here's something from 2008:

For Russell, 'change' means new thinking, not just new congressman

Our concern runs a bit deeper - though, you'd need to be familiar Haditha to understand why.
