It CAN happen-getting rid of old dinosaur Murtha.
Remember Tom Daschle! SD rural voters got tired of the sh%* he was spewing & doing & finally went out in full force & voted.
Hopefully that’ll happen for POTUS.I pray the religion-crazy gun-totin- bigoted gun clinging rednecks of the heartland will go vote this time & show those elitist liberal pukey media-tards how disgusted we are.

That would only encourage Murtha to run for the Senate!

Murtha calls his constituents rednecks and racist. I call them a bunch of morons who deserve what they get if they reelect this steaming piece of crap once again.

So what? That doesn’t mean he’ll win.

I call Murtha a lackey and an opportunist who has no business being a seventeen-term Representative from PA. PA doesn’t need it and, certainly, the remainder of the U.S. doesn’t need it.

In fact, NONE of these a-holes (Dems, Repubs, whatever) deserve a pension even after they’re done with elected office.

Term Limits — put an end to career politicians. No pensions. Part-time Congress. Limitations on lobbying, and anything else we can think of to minimize their ongoing shenanigans.

Why is it such a no-no to say the N-word but whites can be call “rednecks” in public and no one lifts an eyebrow?

If the media is going to go berserk over one, why not the other?

I said it before that Murtha is a piece of sh&t that doesn’t deserve to be on this planet but he is right when he talks about Pennsylvanians. I grew up in that State and split my time evenly between Philadelphia and various locales in the Republican-T. All areas of PA are racist. Philadelphia is the most hateful, racist city in the country. The racism of the black majority in that city is only matched by the racism of the whites outside of Philly. PA will be closer than people think between Obama and McCain but Murtha will win handily. He has the machine, the money and years of experience in buying votes.

Have you seen video of Murtha lately? My guess is he is not up to the really tough campaign a 2010 Senate run would entail.

When the hell are the good folks in Pennsylvania going to pull the plug on Murpha’s election?

maverick muse on October 21, 2008 at 8:26 AM

Sorry. We Pennsylvanians are afraid of change. No. No. No. It has only to do with the color of money. We’re afraid that someone else wouldn’t give a good gull dern for the people he or she represented and therefore not fight for them in Congress.

In other words, like the rest of our great nation, we have come far in our views of race relations yet still too many people are dumber than dirt when it comes to understanding how our Republic works.

Term Limits, folks. If constituents can’t do their job, then limitations on such stupidity and/or inaction must be put in place.

Murtha is a prime example of why those in government for decades remove all doubt that they don’t have the ability to serve those who elect them. If the people of Pennsylvania re-elect this old fool then they will prove they are the racist rednecks he says they are. The people of Pennsylvania will prove whether they are human trash or not.
