POPSDark Horse Challenging Murtha Turns Out To Be A Thoroughbred
It challenged the signatures on Russell’s petition in court. Just enough signatures were removed to assure that Russell would not be on the primary ballot-–which was the plan. Undeterred, Russell asked voters to write in his name on the primary ballot to be the Republican candidate in the upcoming general election. He received more than 4,000 write-in votes in the GOP Primary and another 1,000 in the Democrat Primary, enough to once again make him a candidate, Luksik said. It is an impressive performance in a district with approximately 345,000 registered voters. Instead of the "dark horse" Murtha’s machine expected, they encountered a thoroughbred who apparently knows how to run.

POPSJack Murtha Steps In It Again And, Murtha still has not apologized to the 7 innocent Haditha Marines he accused of cold-blooded murder last time. UPDATE: Murtha's opponent this year for Congress is Lt. Colonel William Russell a decorated combat veteran who has served in Desert Storm, the Iraq War, and the Pentagon on 9/11.

POPSEquipment or Troops? Pick One In other words, we either get troops or equipment. We don't get both. At a time when we are fighting a global war on terror on multiple fronts, with the bulk of our military tied up in Iraq, we are looking at possible troop cuts. The military is scrambling to re-equip because the Pentagon failed to plan for the long and expensive war in Iraq, said Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., who chairs the House panel that oversees military spending. That failure, Murtha said, makes the Pentagon's plan to add 92,000 new soldiers and Marines unrealistic. Although new troops would help reduce repeated, lengthy deployments, there are other more pressing demands, Murtha said

POPSHaditha Marine prepares to sue Murtha over smear They should sue that fat pig Murtha, who, like another disgusting individual (Kerry) claims to be a war hero. Murtha seems to have long ago forgot what Semper Fi means, and stabbed his fellow marines in the back for political advantage. I say sue his ass. Then get him out of office on the double quick so for the first time in his life he will have to work for a living.

POPSMURTHA TO BE SUED BY HADITHA DEF'S As stated by DEF's counsel, Murtha's conduct made to advance Murth's quest to be in DEM's leadership. TIME and NYT were so accusatory in their stories that in a jury trial of issues so inflammatory that a HUGE verdict could/should result.

POPSMurtha Blocks Iraq Funding to pass a funding bill, and Democratic leaders refuse to bring for a vote clean legislation that would pass with largely Republican support. Nevertheless, Murtha believes it's appropriate to nickel and dime the Pentagon, while holding up long-term funding. Service members, including those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, and essential civilians would serve without pay, while nonessential civilian employees would be furloughed, the department said. But don't worry: Congress supports the troops.

POPSMurtha: No time for vets, calls cops on vet's mom I am angry that this man, who accuses our military of using excessive force, sent 3 Police Cars and 7 Officers to intimidate me. Had me chased down like a fugitive! I know one thing for certain: John Murtha does not respect our Soldiers and he sure doesn’t respect their mothers. You are shameful John Murtha. ...asked why they called the cops and they said she was “disruptive to the office”... ...asked when they called the police, they stated that they had called after she had left.

POPSHow to rig an online poll the right way This reminds me of those joke polls where the buttons would move around so you couldn't actually click on the one you wanted. Sadly, this is a real poll that sends results to elected officials and it has been broken for days.

POPSIt's (Past) Time for Murtha to Resign He's a flip flopper, just like John Kerry. Local media reported, “Mr. Murtha.....said the latest military successes aren't a surprise.” This is the same John Murtha who said in March on Meet the Press “a surge just won’t work."

POPSWhat Murtha Really Said About The Surge Those who have harped that Murtha changed his mind (after accusing him of being a traitor) apparently missed the nuance of his statement, but then again, we all know they don't do nuance very well.

POPSIll-Qaeda - the terror group is on the ropes in Iraq The defeatacrats, who just a few months ago were howling for defeat and retreat, now see victory looming and are bitterly disappointed. The American people, as voting season approaches, will contemplate whether to return these contemptible people to office. The islamofascists were counting on America not being able to fight the long fight, but they miscalculated one item - the resolve and determination of George W. Bush.

POPS Members of Congress That Preach Defeat
The continual droning in Congress about the Iraq War and the need for the United States to declare defeat and impeach the judgment of President George W. Bush and our top military commanders, such as General David Petraeus, highlights a deficiency in Congress which rarely is addressed. Only 29% of current United States Senators and 23% of Representatives have served in a branch of the United States Armed Forces. These numbers are down from 1991, the height of the Persian Gulf War, when 68% of Senators and 48% of Representatives had served. After the 2008 election the proportion is likely to decrease again in view of retirements. This is particularly true of those, like Senator John S. McCain III R, who have served in combat. The exception to this statement would be Representative John “Jack” Murtha D, Chairman of the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, who currently is busy paying off his campaign donors with special earmarks that he has no time to be distracted by the Iraq War

POPS Phony Senate Leader Harry Reid I normally ignore Rush Limbaugh, but his comments last Wednesday went too far for me to remain silent. It's one thing to call me "Dingy Harry" (he really is "dingy") - it's another to insult our men and women in uniform, calling those who oppose the war "phony soldiers" as Rush did during his Sept. 26 broadcast. Of course, Rush continued his tirade Monday by denying he had said anything wrong and attacking John Murtha, who served 37 years in the Marines. This week, 41 Democrats signed a letter to Clear Channel CEO Mark Mays, demanding that Rush apologize.

POPSWuterich: "I'm Not A Monster"
60 Minutes wanted to know more about how Marines face this choice - between killing civilians or risking their men. We spoke to a Marine who led a platoon through some of the most hostile territory in Iraq. Donovan Campbell, now a Reserve Captain, estimates he cleared at least 50 houses. "We have a saying: 'Always know your target and what’s beyond it. And no matter what, whether you think you’re probably going kill everyone inside, you still need to know exactly what your target is. Who is it that I’m shooting when I go through the door,'" Campbell says. "In your opinion," asks Pelley," you have to lay eyes on someone with a weapon in that house in order to assault the house and kill everyone inside?” Campbell says, "Yes, but you never go in with the intention of I’m going to kill every living soul inside." Opponents of the war, notably congressman John Murtha, seized on them. "Our troops overacted because of the pressure on them and they killed innocent civilians in co
