A Response to the Pennsylvania GOP...

Although I don't live in Pennsylvania, I somehow got on the PA-GOP email list, and was sent a fundraising letter for a supposedly up and coming PA GOP star who wants money.

Well and good, but the PA-GOP has an absolute treasure trove from which to rally around the troops if it so chose, but instead, it chooses to sit on it.

Below was my rant response:

Dear PA-"GOP."

Right now you have a United States Congressman; a Democrat, at that, who is embroiled in the middle in a huge scandal with a pay-for-play, quid-pro-quo lobbying firm that is finally closing its doors because they know that the gig is up.

Perhaps you've heard of this congressman. Yeah, from PA-12... ever hear of him?!?

You know.. John "Jihad Jack" Murtha.

Oh, you have? Perhaps in passing?

Well, PA-"GOP" leaders-- I have a question for you regarding Jack "Jabba The Hut" Murtha, who just happens to reside in your own backyard. And that question is:

What is your MAJOR MALFUNCTION, PA-GOP?!?!

Why aren't you shouting from the rooftops from one end of the gerrymandered confines of PA-12 to the other the incontrovertible FACT that JACK MURTHA IS
A LYING, TRAITOROUS CROOK?!?!

Or are you, too, as deep in his slime-filled pocket as are a lot of defense contractors, lobbying firms, front-end laundering operations and dirty congressmen?

Why did you NOT LIFT A FINGER to help when William Russell ran against Murtha??!?

Why did your local... ah-hem... Johnstown-area "REPUBLICAN" leadership try to get Russell, an honored military veteran, thrown off the ticket???

As you may or may not know, I and a number of very talented, passionate folks have run a blog called "Murtha Must Go!!" and we have since 19 May, 2006 chronicled Murtha's misdeeds, from Abscam to Haditha and beyond.

Congressman John P. Murtha made it personal for me when he went and unjustly pronounced guilt against the Marines in the Haditha incident. On national TV. He did this when my own son was in theatre and in harm's way.

As you can imagine, this didn't sit too well for me.

So, from a livingroom in friggen St. CLOUD, Minnesota, I and my compadres (living in places like North Dakota, Texas, Chicago, and yes, one or two in Pennsylvania) have done more to expose this creep in the past two and three-quarter years than you and your ENTIRE STATE PARTY have done for the past 34 years that the gasbag has been in office!!

Murtha deserves to be spending the remainder of his days in an 8 x 10 cell in Leavenworth, not roaming the hallowed halls of congress!

What's it going to take to get the local and state PA-"GOP" leadership to finally get off of their, as Murtha would say, "Big fat backsides" and get this clown out of office, once and for all, if not behind bars??!?

As I've stated before, I (and I'm sure I can speak for my co-contributors) are more than willing to do the heavy lifting that's requried to expose this creep.

But it's high time you as a state party start putting cronyism aside and concentrate on principles, for a change. You call yourself "Republicans"--well then start acting like REPUBLICANS, already, instead of a group of obsequious toadies that kowtow to corruption!

Exasperated and Flummoxed,

Murtha Must Go!!

What's that sucking sound I hear?

It's the hope for Murtha's re-election being drawn down the drain, me-thinks. From an email I received:

As will I, Peg. I've hung up my main digs and I've decided to dig in here to try to get one of the most, if not the most, corrupt politicians in the modern era get de-throned.

Diana Irey blazed the trail back in 2006, and now Lt. Col. William Russell has raised 2 million dollars from donors across the nation who are sick and tired of seeing fat-cat 'Jihad Jack' Murtha sitting in the cat-bird seat, calling the shots like nothing has happened, leaving in his wake the reputations of a platoon of Marines whose only crime was the non-crime of following Rules of Engagement (ROE) at the town of Haditha, Iraq.

I invite every visitor here at Murtha Must Go to browse our archives for the most comprehensive collection available chronicling Murtha's misdeeds, from Abscam to Haditha and beyond.

There is absolutely no reason for this cockroach to maintain his seat in what should be an honorable institution.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Murtha Must Go!!

blog disclaimer

I started Murtha Must Go! on May 21st, 2006. Although Murtha's "pull the troops out now" rhetoric in November, 2005, was reprehensible; his pronouncing guilt on the Marines with regard to the Haditha incident, without due process, was the last straw. As a parent of a deployed soldier, I could no longer sit by and watch Murtha's irresponsible and reprehensible rhetoric go unanswered. That is when I decided to start this blog, and to try to mount as much of an effort as I personally could to oust him from office in the November, 2006 elections.

We have no direct connections with any political campaigns; however, we do support the election of Lt. Col William Russell (ret.), whom we believe to be a man of impeccable honor and character, and much more fitting to occupy the seat of trust which Jack Murtha now regrettably holds.
