   I really hope that Russell wins. We need a new generation and new blood. Murtha is a bloated, old dinosaur who needs to fade away. He is an embarassment.

   I also hope that more veterans (of all political stripes) run for office at both the local, state, and national level. We need new blood desperately.

   Please, Western PA, boot out Murtha!!!

    My syndicated column tomorrow will spotlight Russell’s conservative counterinsurgent campaign, which has been buoyed by grass-roots word-of-mouth and Internet activism.

    That’s cool, and I’m definitely rooting for Russell … but I’m still hoping I get to see you take on the metrocons (or cocktail conservatives, if you will) sometime soon.

    Pennsylvania is critical here, and it sure would be nice to take the fat ass ex-Marine off the Hill and send him home for good. Maybe the Presidential numbers there will be moved in the right direction as well. What would you expect, 15 or 25,000 people on a short notice?

    You can choose not to, and the attitude is fine if it keeps complacency at bay. But you know who does believe them? The RNC. And you can bet they are going to be throwing a lot more attention this race’s way based on this poll. Murtha would be a mighty scalp in what is looking like an otherwise dismal cycle.

    For incentive Murtha is still slamming the troops

    Murtha has stood fast, saying his blunt language brought critical improvement to how American troops engage Iraqis. “We’re no longer just breaking down doors,” Murtha said.

    Officials, including a two-star general, conducting the investigation and the Naval Criminal Investigation Service “came up with the same conclusion I did,” Murtha said.

    Full story

    While the unsubstantiated reports of nasty remarks and advocacy of violence from attendees at McCain’s rallies remains the buzz from the Old Media establishment and as the Old Media points its accusing finger at Gov. Palin, constantly calling her a racist, real violence has been perpetrated on a McCain supporter at the hands of an Obamaton. Yet, strangely enough, the media has remained silent on the incident.
    Oleg Atbashian informs us that the District Attorney of New York has indicted an Obama supporter that ripped a McCain sign out of the hands of a McCain supporter and beat her in the face with the wooden stick to which the sign was attached.

    Robber was just trying to spread the wealth around when she provoked him with that McCain sticker, which also proves she is a racist and deserved to be punished. Obviously a hate crime on her part for which she should be prosecuted.

    I’m sure Murtha will have plenty of job offers with the MSM as commentator if he loses.

    Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim’s car.

    Glock 40 behind the left ear……waste of good prison space.

    I’ve never donated to a political candidate before. Until today. Murtha needs to be retired by his constituents. (I live in San Diego, not Penn…)

    Now, if we can get Barney Frank in jail for his mismanagement of Fanny/Freddie…

    Would that ALL our honest citizens be armed–the bad guys are. The surveillance cameras don’t really help–the bad guys have learned to work around them.

    The Leftist have done their work well–just a case of moral equivalency here–Bush lied slice the Bitche’s face. Got to give that one to the trolls.

    Too bad it takes several direct insults for the Democratic dope electorate in Pennsylvania to wise up and turn out Abscam Jack (if it plays out the way we hope it will). Apparently they could not do it on principle. Liberalism really is a mental disease.

    Just went to the Russell Brigade site and gave them another donation. Maybe some Johnstownies are not so insular after all!
