From opensecrets.org:

"The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989, with 79 percent of that going to Democrats."

For a complete list of all 284 members, click on link below and scroll down.The highlighted names sit on defense committees and sub-committees.

That’s not possible. President Obama got rid of all the lobbyists.

Murtha was not indicted in ABSCAM because he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in gathering evidence and testifying against two fellow democrat congressmen. Both went to the pen. The feds know if they threaten Murtha with prison he will take down half of Congress.

Excellent article on PMA (Paul Magliocchetti) and Murtha.

Not much of a stretch to think of this as the Mafia in the House of Representatives with Murtha as Godfather and Magliocchetti the consiglieri, or vice versa.

Murtha Watch Ping!

Doesn't matter at all. Murtha could perform human sacrifice on a newborn infant in front of the Capitol and the zombies in his district would still send him back.

Altoona and Johnstown are a disgrace to humanity.

So, the detestable Patrick Murphy is following in Murtha’s footsteps. Why am I not surprised?
