I try do do my best. as a Christian, not to wish bad things on people because Karma can come back and smack you in the face. BUT, John Murtha was one of the biggest of big time Congressional crooks this side of Ted Kennedy ! Although he was never indicted in the ABSCAM stings, he was still videotaped saying, while pushing back $50,000 in cash.........
"We do business for a while, maybe I'll be interested and maybe I won't."
Six congressmen and one senator were convicted in the case. Murtha was not charged, but the government named him as an unindicted co-conspirator and he testified against two other congressmen.
Murtha also had more recent problems too. In 2008, the FBI raided the offices of PMA, a lobbying firm that had become one Murtha's biggest sources of campaign cash. The firm specialized in obtaining earmarks for defense contractors, and with Murtha's help, got plenty of them.
Murtha was also responsible for the pork laden " John Murtha Airport. We've all seen this example of rediculous pork barrel spending.

John Murtha has passed away and maybe we can get another conservative to fill his seat.
