Free Pennsylvania
Rob Gleason’s man Tim Burns appears on radio and television shows across the nation regularly these days, now that he received the Republican party endorsement for the seat formerly held by Jack Murtha. Rob Gleason is PA Republican State Chair and long time Murtha ally. Yes, I said Republican.
Burns does not mentioned that the grassroots conservative candidate for the House of Representatives from PA, Lt. Col. Bill Russell is beating him in the polls by 29 points http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/mar/23/defeat-for-another-house-seat/ . Burns is beating Critz the Democrat candidate by 4 according to his website. This translates to Russell smashing Critz in the general election.
Also not mentioned, while Murtha was hanging our Marines out to dry as ”cold blooded killers”, Gleason’s insurance firm profited from Murtha’s dealings, on the backs of the suffering of our marines. It was no surprise Gleason searched for a POSER candidate to attempt to hijack a very successful campaign from Lt. Col Bill Russell for the next election. Rob Gleason’s insurance business continues to make money from ideals with companies founded on Jack Murtha’s defense contract deals, something that Burns also does not mention. http://pagopwing.com/new_page_3.htm http://www.pa2010.com/2010/03/burns-launches-first-tv-ad/
Bill Russell had the courage to run for the seat occupied by Jack Murtha, while the man was alive and had the power of the incumbency to fight back. Murtha supervised any number of dirty tricks against Russell and not only did Russell survive, but as an unknown upstart without party support, came within striking distance of winning.

PING to #1 & #25
(Applause!!!) Thank you HC!!!
Excellent post. Burns came out of ‘nowhere.’ Russell ALMOST beat Murtha; and Russell had attracted national support.
PA Republicans that stupid or more nefarious? A quid pro quo...I don’t know...as I don’t live in JTown...but...
I think the ‘Tea Partiers’ are no longer ‘vote along a party endorsement.’ Nope...people are learning about who is on that ballot.
Thanks for the ping and great thread.
And Jeb Bush and Mike Huckabee put one up against Dan Fanelli.
See a pattern? Presidential wannabees settting up money suckers.
I agree. I think larger, behind the scenes efforts are at play. Those efforts and the strawman candidates need to be defeated.
Yes, it is to destroy the momentum of the Tea Party movement while singing its praises.
Could you PLEASE cough up some more information. I just sent this guy $25 based on my internet searches. If Burns is bad news I need to know details!
Welcome back!
The ad is being put out by FreedomsDefenseFund PAC and there is no connection to the official Russell for Congress campaign. It’s an independent expenditure that Russell has no control over. Your advice is spot on, but in this case Col. Russell has nothing to be concerned about.
Russell bump!
He didn't learn a thing in 06. Hows that go...a leopard can't change its spots.
exactly.
the man has no clue how the people on the ground in PA feel about him.
He thinks he’s going to be pres.
(brrrrpumuck) (sound of choking on own laughter)
Marine Uncle! I thought I saw you at a Thursday Morning meeting!
I talked to you in HD a couple times. (no not in the electrical deparment but in the front of the store)
I live just a few miles from the store.
Glad you got my post! Next time I come to the store I’ll introduce myself.
You are about 5 10 to 6 foot with dark hair with some gray correct?
Sorry for the double ping. I pinged you to the wrong thread the first time.
40 lashes for the blonde!
From Bob Guzzardi PA conservative activist:
The Principled, Authentic, Resolute outsider, Bill Russell (Lt. Col. Army retired) , disdained and dismissed by the Rob Gleason Earmarking Establishment, who get rich from government, demonstrated from the outset leadership. As Wall Street Journal’s John Fund observed ( 4/27/2010): “Many veterans lack the polish and political skills of candidates who have climbed the ladder of public office, but in an anti-incumbent year they may find more success than normal precisely because they haven’t been tainted by the backroom deal-making that voters are increasingly suspicious of.” John Fund of WSJ Political Diary (a subscription service. Below is extended commentary on Rahm Emanuel’s strategy to recruit Vets as Candidates.
In the 12th, “Military veterans comprise a sizeable 13% of the vote.” — Kyle Trygstad, RealClearPolitics.com

Rahm’s Way
The idea of specifically recruiting military veterans to run for marginal House seats was part of Rahm Emanuel’s master plan when he ran the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 2006. The strategy helped Democrats win back the House. Now Republicans are taking a page from the Book of Rahm and mounting their own effort to run veterans of the Iraq and Afghan wars. The Washington Times reports that the number of vets running this year will be double what it was in 2008 — and most of the 40 who are running are running as Republicans.
The surge comes at a time when the total of veterans in the House has reached a post-World War II low of just over 21%. D. Patrick Mahoney, an Iraq War veteran who heads the Veterans for Congress political action committee, says it’s to be expected that several of this year’s candidates will stumble short of the finish line because they come to their races without the wealth or network of supporters that more established candidates have.
Nonetheless, in the right districts veterans can appeal to voters as fresh faces who have proven their leadership qualities. Rep. Joe Sestak, a former admiral, is picking up ground in Pennsylvania’s Democratic Senate primary against longtime incumbent Arlen Specter. Mark Kirk, an Illinois GOP congressman who was twice deployed to Afghanistan as a reservist in 2008, is now favored to win the Senate seat once held by Barack Obama. Allen West, a Bronze Star winner who has trained Afghan troops as an adviser, is wowing Republican audiences in Palm Beach, Florida in his race to unseat an incumbent Democrat. Steve Stivers, another Bronze Star winner from the Iraq war, is an even bet to unseat Democratic Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy in a Columbus, Ohio district.
Many veterans lack the polish and political skills of candidates who have climbed the ladder of public office, but in an anti-incumbent year they may find more success than normal precisely because they haven’t been tainted by the backroom deal-making that voters are increasingly suspicious of.
