See – Murtha’s Death Another Blow To ObamaCare – at IBD. Murtha died from complications of a gall bladder surgery he had in late January.
* Murtha’s district now is a possible pickup for the House GOP. Murtha won re-election with 58% of the vote in 2008. But John McCain narrowly carried the district over Barack Obama in a Democratic year.
He will always stand out in my mind as the former marine who sold out and posed for photo ops with a dozen pink roses given to him by members of Code Pink for opposing the War in Iraq. He is the one in Congress who said the marines of Haditha had killed civilians in cold blood – before the investigation was even finished. He was a disgrace.
And of course there is Mark Seavey confronting Murtha.
And the video where he was questioned by Jason Mattera from Young America’s foundation-
Bill Russell asks for prayers for the Murtha family (see this post at Michelle Malkin’s).
But the dems are using his death already to push for Obamacare…just like they did with Ted.
uh-oh, he claims medical malpractice in Murtha’s death…? So…Murtha is a martyr for healthcare reform?
RUSSELL ASKS FOR PRAYERS FOR MURTHA FAMILY
Announces a Moratorium on Campaign Media Efforts
(JOHNSTOWN, PA) – Responding to the sudden and unfortunate announcement of the death of Rep. John Murtha (D-PA-12th), GOP challenger William Russell has asked all citizens, Republicans, Democrats and Independents to come together and pray for Joyce and the Murtha family as they deal with the tragic loss of husband, father and grandfather. “While Mr. Murtha and I were political combatants in every sense, our family and campaign team asks you to keep the Murtha family in your thoughts and prayers,†said Russell. “Regardless of your political position, you always knew Jack had an immense love and loyalty to his family and the residents of the12th Congressional District.
The Russell campaign is immediately initiating a moratorium on all political media activity for the next five days in respect of the passing of John Murtha. The campaign will also remove all political references to Mr. Murtha on the Russellbrigade.com website immediately.
It is the wish of the William Russell for Congress Committee, that the passing of Mr. Murtha be treated with the utmost respect and decency by all…
Okay then, enough of that.
