To quote Ed Morrissey:

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.

Also, the man running against Murtha this year could be the one to finally take down the jerk, Murtha…

Suport Bill Russell, the man who could topple Murtha this election!

Bill Russel may be the one who takes down John MurthaA jaw-dropping political miracle may be on the horizon. No, I’m not talking about the second coming of the Obamessiah. I’m talking about the long-deserved comeuppance of troop-smearing, pork-feasting, scandal-tainted Democratic Rep. Jack Murtha of Pennsylvania.

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.

Even more amazing: The 45-year-old Russell, a Desert Storm veteran, former Army lieutenant colonel and Army reservist who survived the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the Pentagon, was not even publicly campaigning during the quarter. He is on active duty with the Army until after Aug. 1 and is barred from actively campaigning until then.

    It is the job of the Marines too eradicate the enemy. They are killers. But not in the sense that that Murtha said. Our Country has become too feminized. The object in war is too kill the enemy and break his will. Calling the Marines “Murderers” is far from correct. They are simply killing the enemy before they are killed themselves. It seems the far left believe it’s the job of the Military to hand our candy. The job of the Military is simple,  hand our bullets and bombs, and they should do it every day non stop. When the Marines get shot at, I could care less about the age or gender of the enemy. If they are a 35 year old man, or a 8 year old girl, the end result should be the enemy in a body bag, not us.

    When I was on Active Duty in the US Air Force, I was told by two different Squadron Commanders that the true mission of the Air Force is to kill people and blow things up. Be it by land, sea, or air, THAT is the mission of the United States Military.

    Mr Murtha…you should get down on your fat knees and ask forgiveness of our brave soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines.  If it wasn’t for their sacrifices them, you’d be speaking with a German accent or maybe even a British accent.
