Earmarks, as well as baseline budgeting, must be unequivocally killed.
He’s gone, RIP-— do we miss him? Absolutely NOT!
What’s the use of being a progressive Democrat if you can’t lie, cheat, and steal?
this is one reason why these people stay in office all their lives
There still exist beneficiaries of Murtha’s activities that are still alive. Let’s see if the FBI broadens their investigation, but I ain’t holding my breath.
Shocking, yes, shocking.
LOL!
When my kids ask me to get then something from another room, I don't even get out of my chair. I just stick my arm out and say, "Sorry, can't reach it."
These reporters couldn't reach any conclusions.
Typical MSM strategy. When “war hero” Murtha was useful in attacking Bush and the Iraq War, say nothing about his corruption. But once he is dead and it can’t hurt the cause anymore, let all his dirty laundry hang out. Same thing happened with Edwards. When he was the young, dynamic, articulate, Kennedy-like Liberal class warrior, the MSM hid his problems. But once he was no longer any use, all the sleaze came out. Its more evidence of just how damaging most media organizations are to our democracy.
Democrats always get a pass it seems
“PAID” - you can’t make this stuff up...
Yet the Navy plans to name LPD 26 after this...man. Just awful....
Ex-Marine.
Not to me it isn't.
The streets of Johnstown, PA were absolutely littered with mysterious sounding defense contractors. Nobody, including the people who worked there, could really tell you what they did there, or why they existed at all, other than to provide sham employment for Murtha supporters.
I knew Murtha was a crook. I had heard about the earmarks. But I guess most people outside of the FBI had no idea how corrupt Murtha was.
The only story I can remember now, is about the regional airport he had built.
Lobbyist’s Brother Guided House Bill
A family member’s ties to special interests raise questions in the case of Democrat John Murtha.
June 13, 2005
WASHINGTON — When Congress passed the $417-billion Pentagon spending bill last year, Rep. John P. Murtha, the top Democrat on the House defense appropriations subcommittee, boasted about the money he secured to create jobs in his Pennsylvania district.

Thanks to SECNAV Ray Mabus they'll be a Navy ship named for him and it'll be an amphibius ship that carries Marines, very disgusting.
There’s always another to take the their place.
Another suspect IMO, Opy (short for opossum reid) comes to mind.
What will his dark side reveal after he’s gone?
Not to me it isn't.
I hear ya. The FBI did not find anything because they did not want to find anything.
