He’s a POS for sure. As a servicemember, I’m sickened by this loser. Sure enough, the people in PA will re-elect him, just like the folks in WV that has kept KKK Byrd in office all of these years.

Real Clear Politics doesn’t show it as a seat that is in danger. Murtha is the king of pork as Mary Katharine Hamm pointed out on one of her Hamm Nations earlier this year. Those who bring home the bacon (Byrd, Murtha, Schumer, Stevens, et al) tend to get reelected.

I didn’t wade through all of the comments but, the 2006 Governors Race shows that his district, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia won’t vote for a black, the rest of central PA, from NY to MD did.

I grew up in Central PA.

Murtha is an idiot, but he’s in good company with San Fran Nan, Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, etc…

Maybe not racist, but definitely stupid.

Because they keep voting for this clown act.

I grew up in that area. Most of Murtha’s voters are so elderly, they remember when Murtha was born.

Shouldn’t Murtha keep his big mouth shut? The people of Western PA should call him out and say “Prove It”! He opened his big mouth and accused our Marines of despicable things and he has been proven wrong and I hope he pays dearly for those words also!!

I can see the word “murtha” becoming a perjorative at some point. Just difficult to see for what; stupidity, arrogance, corruption…all of the above at one time in a fat, ugly package? I could be wrong, though. Maybe I just need to go out and get a lewinsky and settle my mind.

I (unfortunately) live in his district. I have voted against him ever since the formation of the district. Was combined from two Democratic districts a while ago. Lots of Steel and Coal Unions present here.

I grew up in Western PA and Western NY. Many of these people are still bitter about factory and mill closings that happened in the 70’s and 80’s. But on the other hand, most of them own guns and hunt and go to church. They didn’t appreciate Obamas comment about “gun toting, Bible thumpers” and are afraid of what he might do to their 2nd ammendment rights and gun control. That’s where the real issue is.

How the “F” does this no-talent ass-hat keep getting re-elected? I mean really, PA!

Claypigeon on October 15, 2008 at 5:13 PM

Most state elections have devolved to the same point as presidential elections: people picking the “lesser of two evils” instead of trying something new. That’s how.

Either that or PA has the collective intellect of a cabbage.

I’m hoping it’s the first one.

shoveled so much pork at his district over the past 30 years

that he actually LOOKS like a pig.

Today he stood by what he said about them two years ago being cold-blooded killers, convictions or no convictions.

It would really surprise me if this cantankerous old crooked Bastard could remember what he did or said yesterday, much less 2 years ago….
