Murtha Running His Big Mouth Again!... Says US Troops Just Break Down Doors & Kill Innocents (Video)

H/T to Gateway Pundit

Here is what Murtha says: Murtha: I think they have 17 or so guidelines and they’ve solved 4 or 5 of them. (Actually they’ve completed 15 of the 18 benchmarks.) Murtha: I think the short term it (the Bush Surge) has reduced incidents. I’m not sure if it’s because the Iraqis are just worn out but certainly the way they are doing it today it makes a big difference. It used to be we broke down doors. We went in and we killed people inadvertantly. Now they’re much more careful about it. And, just think… This hateful boob is the national security “expert” in the Democratic Party! Blackfive adds: “And they wonder why no one takes them seriously in those areas???”

Please consider donating to Murtha’s challenger Lt. Colonel William Russell Lt. Colonel William Russell is a decorated combat veteran who has served in Desert Storm, the Iraq War, and the Pentagon on 9/11.

Lt. Colonel William Russell is a decorated combat veteran who has served in Desert Storm, the Iraq War, and the Pentagon on 9/11. He’s a Republican, and he came home to run against Jack Murtha in November but they kicked him off the ballot. For Republicans to have a choice for Congress this November, 1000 write-in votes were needed. OVER 4000 REPUBLICAN VOTERS PUT BILL BACK ON THE BALLOT! (About 1000 Democrats wrote him in for the Democratic ticket also!)

We all need to make Murtha a project

the man NEEDS to be retired -- the right has to help him achieve that goal.

How feasible do you think that is?

The man is the Pork King of Congress -- which, of course, upsets everybody but his constituents, who continue to follow the "all of Congress needs to go except my Representative" model that has allowed folks like Murtha on the left and Don Young on the right to stay in the legislature for so long. Further, just a cursory look at Russell's Web site tells me he has no money, no organization, no campaign direction, and -- most of all -- no real chance in this race. That may be untrue, and a concerted, coordinated fundraising effort by Russell and national (and statewide) attack on Murtha could do something to tip the balance at least a bit in this race. It's getting late, though. We'd better get moving. Anybody have a contact in his campaign? JE

No contacts in the Russell camp...

...and I think your assessment is spot on. I think Murtha's best opponent to date was Diana Irey and that didn't exactly go well!

The Russell story and timeline is interesting though:

First John Murtha's Opponent Tossed Off Ballot

Quote:
Now, Murtha is up to his dirty politics again, but now it is beyond comparison. In a court battle, Murtha has arranged to have his only opponent tossed off the ballot. This leaves no other Republicans to battle against Murtha, giving him a free path right back into the United States Congress.

Then Russell rally's - Murtha's Opponent Back In The Race

Quote:
The Republican who had planned on running against Rep. John Murtha in this year's election was 7 signatures short of getting onto the ballot. Not to be dissuaded, he began a write-in campaign. To get on the November ballot, he needed 1000 write-in votes. He received over 4000. (In a humorous twist, he received 1000 Democrat votes to get him on their ticket, as well.)

He's got the right conservative credentials but can he convince the people that benefit from Murtha's pork to turn on him? That's the $64,000.00 dollar question.

The party and our activists should support his effort though!
