John Murtha is running scared; new internal poll shows virtual dead heat |
Great news coming from conservative firebrand Michelle Malkin. Lt. Colonel William Russell, U.S. Army (Ret.) has caught John Murtha (Pa. D) in the polls after a long, long shot campaign that began while Bill Russell was still on active duty in Iraq and couldn’t campaign for months.
It is exhilarating to see, again, what a determined citizen with the right message can do.
Another citizen who rose up against an entrenched politician, Jason Chaffetz, is leading in Utah’s 3rd district, 58%-24%. Don’t ever let anyone tell you it can’t be done. Least of all the MSM who are in the business of carrying these guy’s water.
Many thanks to the readers of this site who contributed to Bill Russell’s campaign. I don’t want to get too premature in starting the victory dance, but it looks very good that, thanks to your help, we may be about to retire the King of Pork
Once again, Peasants With Pitchforks Prevail.

More than a year’s worth of covering GOP upstart Bill Russell’s challenge to smear merchant corruptocrat John Murtha is paying off.
The momentum has shifted. National media and politicos are paying attention. Veterans are standing up against the troop-slandering incumbent. The polls are tightening. (A new one posted at GrassrootsPA shows a virtual dead heat: MURTHA 45.5% RUSSELL 43.7%.)
One citizen, Bill Russell, made a difference. Each of you who contributed to Russell’s campaign and spread the word has made a difference.
Keep it up.
John Murtha is running scared. It’s time to run him out of office for good.
Email of the afternoon from reader K.C.:
Michelle,
I am a Democrat through and through and have been all my life. So, I hang my head a little as I admit to you that I often find myself agreeing with your views as stated in your column. Congressman Murtha is not only an embarassment to his party, which is often quite hypocritical as you have said before, but also a burden on the American taxpayer who needs to be free of this corrupt windbag.
