(MONONGAHELA, July 12) – Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey – responding to a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraising video using images of caskets of fallen American soldiers – today released the following statement:
“The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this week sent out a fundraising video using images of caskets of fallen American soldiers. Raising campaign cash off the deaths of our honored dead is revolting. Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel should be ashamed of themselves – and so should any Democrat who stands for this.
“Consequently, I have a new question for Jack Murtha today: Do you approve of exploiting fallen American heroes for political fundraising purposes? If not, will you join me in demanding that Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel apologize, and then insist that the DCCC forward any funds raised off this disgusting solicitation to appropriate charities?”

On Flag-Draped Coffins (a poem)
I thought I'd seen it all I guess
In videos from the East;
Enough to tell me nothing less,
We're dealing with a beast.
Such savagery and blood lust,
Sawing off our soldier's head,
Ensures to me that we must
Leave all these bastards dead.
And yet may God preserve us
From those too weak to serve,
Faint of heart, afraid of service,
With no will to save, preserve.
They shriek about the troops lost,
Deplore our mounting dead,
Ignoring what our freedom cost,
In the steps our nation tread.
Now when their country needs them
To mount a solid front;
They'd sacrifice our freedom
For the power they so want.
On flag-draped coffins standing,
Crassly using our dead brave,
To our enemy they're now handing,
What those dead fought so to save.
Some day there'll come a reckoning, a payment for the pain,
To those who used our dead so ill, for naught but power's gain.

Thanks for posting SS, Russ Vaughn says it well. This poem is worthy of the attention of our Congresspeople.
Thanks Smooth. Says it all, doesn't it.
a tragedy that he even had to write that poem; but a blessing that he has the talent to write something so powerful.
I've met him.
He talks a good game, but I think he'll be a loose cannon.
