Democrat Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania passed away today at Virginia Hospital Center following gallbladder surgery last month.
I’ll let my archives on his political career speak for itself. For now, condolences to the Murtha family. And I echo this message from GOP challenger Bill Russell:
RUSSELL ASKS FOR PRAYERS FOR MURTHA FAMILY

Oh, spare me. Please:
There’s nothing more traditional in American politics than the wholesome family portrait: a beaming candidate, beaming spouse, reluctantly beaming teenagers.
But when Bill de Blasio, a candidate for public office in New York City this fall, put his family in his campaign mailings and TV ads, there was nothing routine about it. De [...]

Murtha has won.
Thank you, Bill Russell, for your patriotism and dedication and fearlessness. You gave the smear merchant the scare of his life. You inspired people across the country. You are not just a conservative hero. You are an American hero.

Doors will be open to the public at 2:30 p.m. at the [...]

Are you aware that deportable aliens can circumvent immigration laws with the help of your member of Congress? Are you aware that more than 50 bills have been introduced in Congress this year that would grant special, private relief to individual immigrants fighting deportation? It’s instant amnesty through special legislation. And it’s been happening for [...]
