Video: Haditha Marine’s Father Unloads On Murtha
hotair.com ^ | August 3, 2008 | Allahpundit

He’s a 17-term incumbent who’s bloated his district with so much pork that the Journal once described him as having practically built the town himself. Nothing’s going to dislodge him unless he commits a major felony — and even then, per Abscam, I wouldn’t be so sure — but if there’s any justice this clip will put Bill Russell within single digits. Russell’s active military duty ended just two days ago so presumbly this signals the start of his campaign in earnest. I can’t find any polls online, but follow the last link to MM’s post and you’ll see that he’s (momentarily) outraising Murtha considerably.

Moms are always more sympathetic than dads and letting Mr. Sharratt speak off the cuff would have worked better than the stilted Teleprompter treatment, but no matter.

“Nothing’s going to dislodge him unless he commits a major felony”

Murtha, like most of the Senate exemplifies the absolute WORST of America; corrupt, arrogant, talentless and self-obsessed.

Having said that, the statement above is a direct indictment of either the stupidity, or self-serving criminality of his constituents.

That’s a disgusting picture. A piece of human garbage holding hands another piece of human garbage. DemonRats have no conscience.

"...The 18-term congressman’s challenger, staunch conservative Republican newcomer William Russell, raised nearly $670,000 in the second fundraising quarter. Earmark king Murtha scraped together a measly $119,000. Russell’s underdog campaign bested Murtha without the perks of incumbency, national name recognition, big PAC donations or mainstream media support..."

I sent the man $50. Hope FReepers will consider doing the same!

(That's why I didn't donate to FR this quarter, Jim. Hope you understand.)

Media’s Love Affair With Murtha Ignores His Pork-Filled Past

http://newsbusters.org/node/2887

Own the Beachfront Home of Your Dreams! Just Call John Murtha

When the Republicans ruled Congress, there were certain lobbying firms and individual lobbyists known to be especially plugged-in with GOP leaders and who hence signed up droves of clients. These included Copeland Lowery Jacquez Denton & White (tight with California Congressman Jerry Lewis), the Alexander Strategy Group (buddies with Tom DeLay), and, of course, Jack Abramoff. With Democrats back in charge, there are new lobbying kings in town and among the best connected is the PMA Group, a firm I’ve discussed before. Now I’ve learned the story of how PMA and a New Jersey-based defense electronics firm called DRS Technologies Inc. have teamed up to extract at least hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks—the polite term for pork—for a single program, all with the help of Congressman John Murtha, head of the House defense appropriations subcommittee.

The video is very disturbing but not surprising.

DRS Laurel Technologies is an ISO 9001:2000/AS 9100 leader in the electronic manufacturing services marketplace, providing contract manufacturing and engineering services to major U.S. Department of Defense prime contractors. The company has products on key weapons systems on most major defense platforms, which are integral in supporting today's war fighter and the Global War on Terrorism.

Which means you have a whole lot of executives making decisions on things they have no idea what they are and the people who actually do all the hands on work get crapped on everyday but are the ones who perfect the product !

I speak from Experience ISO Programs are the most usless wastes of paper and time on the planet implimented to destroy American Buisnesses and build up pork barrel spending and prop up federal dollars ...

The person running against murtha needs to run this non-stop. murtha is a lying, treasonous, sob who deserves nothing less than hanging for his crimes against the country.

“We are!

http://williamrussellforcongress.com/";

Just sent my donation to this. The video made me cry in anger. Haditha Marines called “cold blooded murderers” while Murtha and his ilk voted in favor of a ban of the words terrorists, fundamentalists, insurgents, etc. What would they like us to call them? Those on the opposing team perhaps? I guess the word adversary would even be too strong of language for the Sh*tbag Ass Clowns.

I could spit nails right now.
