"No other Republican in Pennsylvania has the guts to do what Bill Russell is doing, just like no other Republican had the guts to run against Murtha in 2008."

That's kind of silly. He won the primary in 2008 that's why he was running against Murtha. What he's doing now is being selfish. This upcoming election in November is too important to be selfish. Diana Lynn Irey ran against him in 2006 and ran a tough campaign calling him out on his Haditha Marine comments.

I would love to see Irey jump back in. She was very popular on FR, unfortunately, that campaign took a big financial toll on her.

I volunteered for Diana’s campaign, I live in the district. Both Irey and Russell ran virtually unopposed in their respective primaries. There has not been a competitive Republican primary in the 12th CD in years.

You say Russell is being selfish, I say Russell is being honest and courageous. And guess what, Gleason created the situation the Republican party here finds itself in, not Russell. Russell just wants clean politics and honest party officials.

So do I.

You either know nothing, or are just making it up as you go along.
