#1 " . . . And don't forget I said it!"

Well, someone has to remember, I guess.

#2 If Murtha is re-elected, that would mean his supporters are fools.

#3 Anguper,

That's a BFO, blinding flash of the obvious. They've been fools since he turned state's evidence in Abscam. They're out to get their 'piece of the pie' and nothing else. If they needed real work in the district there have been dozens and dozens of NIMBY opportunities they could have acquired. They want the tit at the federal treasury but none of the crap.

#4 WestertnPA is symptomatic of the idiotic "I don't care, gimme mine" boomer culture that is destroying this country.

Insult the voters, call them names, screw the achievers by taxing the hell out of them, scam the government by filling up on pork, slander the armed forces, advocate losing a war, but make sure they get their government check on time, and the fools will reelect you.

We are so screwed as a nation.

Baby Boomers, HURRY UP AND DIE!

#5 Murtha and his congressional colleagues have identified the only non-Red Neck area. Behold the INNER CIRCLE of knowledge and right!

#6 Hello. I'm John Murtha and I've just pissed all over my constituents. But since they'll be sending me back to Congress what the hell do I care.

#8 In my experience, Western PA is an aging, decaying area with relatively few boomers and Gen-Xers. The productive boomers moved out to states that actually produce good jobs, the Gen-Xers went elsewhere for college or, again, actual jobs, and the rational retirees moved to Florida or Arizona.

What's left are the unionist retirees, government employees, and their hangers-on. *Especially* in Murtha's district along the apocalyptic remnants of the old Mon Valley industrial wasteland. They haven't had a collective new thought since sometime in the late Carter administration. Swann went politically broke counting on these assholes.

#9 Anyone who cares to help kick this turd out of Congress can donate to William Russell, who's apparently got a pretty good shot at kicking his tail. Website here.

Takes PayPal as well as credit cards, and also has a printable form to send with a check. It's not too late. I've donated more than once, and will do so again later in the month.
