Free Pennsylvania

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.

Gleason’s tricks against Russell in 2008 included questioning the signatures on his petition to be on the primary ballot, and disinviting Russell from the Palin rally at the 11th hour, a rally at which thousands of district voters would see Russell arm and arm with Palin. Gleason was forced by public uproar to re-invite Russell. All for his buddy Jack.

Now Jack is gone, but his Chief of Staff, Critz, is running on May 18 for Murtha’s seat. Reportedly, Critz made the deals for Murtha’s office and Murtha rubber stamped them. And now it gets interesting. Back in 2006, Santorum was defeated largely because of conservative anger at his endorsement of Specter. At the recent SRLC on April 10, Santorum made a speech, that simply must be seen on video. Not because it is a hit out of the park, but because he does everything but bite his lower lip and ask us to define sex. His physicality on stage is only missing Bill Clinton’s unmistakeable accent. http://www.viddler.com/explore/rightscoop/videos/19/

A question and answer period began immediately after his speech. Santorum was questioned as to his regrets about his support of Specter in spite of the people’s opposition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDAFlmprDto

In summary, he supported Specter for the sake of the children.

He says he knew he’d have two conservative supreme court candidates to work through the approval process. First, there is no way Santorum could have known that there would be two candidates for Supreme Court for approval when he supported Specter. Second, any credit for conservative Supreme Court justices belongs to the American people who went absolutely apoplectic when GWB’s first choice was Harriet Miers and no one had more to lose from her selection than Santorum. http://old.nationalreview.com/lopez/lopez200510181248.asp

His answer attempts to leave the impression that he is sorry and will never do it again. However in a question that follows, he slips in a plug for the machine endorsed Republican candidate in for the House, from PA Tim Burns, without mentioning Russell the conservative Republican who is way ahead in the polls. Santorum wants to be president after all. http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2010/04/specter_denies_endorsement_dea.html .

Thus, within minutes, he has done exactly what he did in 04 with Specter, and that is back the establishment Republican candidate with full awareness that Lt. Col. Bill Russell is far and away the people’s choice. http://www.viddler.com/explore/rightscoop/videos/21/

Newt Gingrich is also at it again, repeating the same choices he made in NY ‘s 23rd district race . Gingrich refused to back the conservative Doug Hoffman, in favor of the then Republican endorsed candidate Dede Scuzzafaza. Dede resembled a conservative like steel resembles a car. He hasn’t learned a damn thing. His ego won’t allow it. He is running for the White House and dammit he needs Burn’s money. Not only is Burns a millionaire, but if and when he loses, he can and likely will give money to Santorum and Gingrich.

Someone please call Santorum and Gingrich, before they turn the House back to the Democrats and give the gavel back to Pelosi.

Check out Col. Russell’s new radio spots, I started hearing them today on 104.7FM, our local conservative talk radio station, during Rush Limbaugh’s show. I swear the woman’s voice in the second spot is Rose of Quinn & Rose, it sounds just like her. Rose has done some fundraisers for Bill Russell and Quinn has been blasting the PAGOP and Rob Gleason for picking Burns over Russell for the special election.

A ping to many PA Freepers!

Time to learn who Tim Burns really is! If one looks like a POSER, acts like a POSER, then most likely is a POSER!

Tim Burns Republican Candidate for Congress

On April 27, 2009, Tim Burns declared his candidacy for Congress for Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional District.

Even after starting his own business, Tim never had aspirations for public office. But as a businessman, father and community volunteer, he has seen first-hand the value of hard work over handouts. In announcing his candidacy, he stated, "We need to get away from looking to the government to solve all of our problems. Instead we need to force them to solve theirs. We need to stop the bailouts and handouts, and need to balance the budget and ensure that our children will inherit a strong America, not a bankrupt one. I know how to create jobs, make a payroll, meet a budget, and stay out of debt. I am running to restore this forgotten, commonsense value to Washington."

Tim Burns was raised, educated and lives in Pennsylvania’s 12th Congressional District. He grew up in the Hornerstown section of Johnstown (Cambria County) and graduated from Johnstown High School in 1986. In 1990, Tim obtained his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (Indiana, County).

In 1992, after graduating college, Tim started his own pharmacy technology company in the basement of his house, that improved the process of filling prescriptions with greater accuracy and grew it to over 400 employees before selling it in 2003. Tim’s business background and work in health care technology make him uniquely qualified to help our nation increase access to quality, affordable health care without raising taxes, and bring business sense to the government.

Since selling his company in 2003, Tim has been active in economic development projects in Southwestern Pennsylvania as an advisor and entrepreneur. He has also volunteered his time helping flood victims in Sharpsburg (Allegheny County), traveling to Mississippi to provide aid to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, volunteering at a local hospice and directing a youth camp for special needs children. Tim serves on the Board of Directors for the Childhood Apraxia of Speech Association of North America (CASANA).

Tim Burns’ commitment to conservative values, smaller government, lower taxes, an end to wasteful spending and restoring an ethical standard in public service, makes him the best choice to be the Republican nominee for Congress in the 12th Congressional District. Tim’s life experience growing up and attending school in the 12th Congressional District as well as being a father, entrepreneur, successful businessman and community leader, make him uniquely qualified to serve as our next Congressman.

Tim is a resident of Eighty Four, PA (Washington County) where he enjoys spending time with his two sons, Brock Christian (14) and Trent Matthew (12). He attends St. Benedict Catholic Church in Peters Twp. (Washington County).

Too many fish in the Republican pond. I live here and ‘I’m’ confused. Either way I can’t vote in this anyway. Not my district.

SUPPORT BILL RUSSELL IN THE MAY 18th PA-12 REPUBLICAN PRIMARY


LtCol William T. Russell - FOB Midway, Ad-Daluyah Provence - Fall 2004

I am a conservative. I believe in the sovereignty and security of this one nation, under God. I believe in the sanctity of life and that life begins at conception. I believe in marriage between one man and one woman. I believe that all children in our school systems should be educated in English and taught the civic duties and responsibilities of citizenship and patriotism. I believe that we have the responsibility and obligation to control our borders and determine who is allowed to live and work in our country. I believe in private property rights and that the death tax should be killed. I believe government economic policies should reward those who build business or save and invest their money. I believe in the right to bear arms and the right of self defense. I believe in rugged individualism and that no one owes me anything just because I live and breathe. I believe we should all practice charity in some form or fashion, especially to those who are suffering and least fortunate. But charity must be voluntary and spring from a spirit of altruism and love for your neighbor. I believe that imposed systems of wealth redistribution destroy families, produce a culture of dependence and hurt everyone. Finally, I believe there is room to acknowledge the role of our Creator in public life as stated in the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution. ---Bill Russell in his own words

Sounds good, since the POSERS are beginning to get active in Florida too!

Especially watch and see who the Republican Party Elite are who go after the Governor of Arizona, Arizona Legislature and of course the citizens of Arizona who are in support of their new State immigration reform bill. Wonder if they will go so far as to join Al Sharpton in Arizona to protest! I expect to see John McCain and Lindsey Graham walking arm in arm with good old Al any day now. And after what I just read, perhaps Jeb Bush will be joining them.

We meed the same here in Florida since the Federal Government under both political parties will do NOTHING to enforce the illegal immigration laws already on the books!

“Too many fish in the Republican pond. I live here and ‘I’m’ confused. Either way I can’t vote in this anyway. Not my district.”

I sure can't vote in PA District 12 either! Especially since I am a Florida resident! :) But I sure can spread the word about REAL CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVES who are running for Congress! We for sure can not expect the RNC Elite to endorse the BEST Conservative! Remember Hoffman vs Scozzafava?

This Special Election coming up in PA on May 18th is an important election and we need to support the BEST candidate! That happens to be Bill Russell! IMHO

SURE CAN TELL! MAKES ME SMILE TOO!

“Stupid is as stupid does” and the REAL POSERS are sure standing up and showing themselves, aren't they? And as they do, their political careers are going to go down the toilet! Rightfully so!

And if I hear Marco Rubio join the forces against the actions of the citizens of Arizona I will be changing my tag line!
