Campaigning in PA:
Murtha & Howard Dean!
  As
reported in a
DNC press release,
Howard Dean, chairman of the Democrat Party, is campaigning today with
Rep. John Murtha in Greensburg, PA:
[EXCERPTS:]
Saturday, July 29, Democrats across the country will participate in
"Democratic Reunion" events marking 100 days to Election Day 2006.
...Chairman Dean will canvass in Pittsburgh with the Westmoreland
County Democrats and attend a Christmas in July event with Governor
Rendell and Congressman Murtha in Greensburg, Pa.
Why would supposedly pro-military, anti-abortion John Murtha campaign
with Howard Dean -- renown for his anti-military, pro-abortion,
fanatic positions? Murtha represents PA Congressional District 12,
with its conservative, Catholic base. What are they to think about
this?
There is only one thing to think, District 12: Murtha doesn't care.
What is even more inconsistent is the fact that Murtha is openly
disdainful of fellow politicians who have not served in the military.
So why would legendary Marine Vietnam war hero John Murtha embrace
draft dodging Howard Dean? ... the same Howard Dean who got a Vietnam
deferment for a bad back, but spent time skiing in Aspen. [Meet
The Press, June 22, 2004]
The simple reason is this: John Murtha has purposefully changed.
This shows Murtha is no longer like-minded with the people of his
District. He no longer shares their beliefs and concerns. He is no
longer content to just be their Congressman. Murtha's eyes are on the
Majority Leader prizeThe sad fact is that he's selling-out his
District 12 to get it.
So how does Howard Dean fit into Murtha's plans? Let's look at Howard
Dean's own rise to power.
2003... Dean declares candidacy for president, takes extreme anti-war
& liberal positions
2004... Dean screams on camera in Iowa, loses bid for presidency
2005... Dean declares candidacy for chairmanship of Democrat National
Committee
2005... Rep. John Murtha lobbies for Howard Dean to win DNC chair
The fact is Howard Dean is chairman of the DNC because John Murtha
pushed hard for him to win. Below are some excerpts from an article in
TheHill, dated Jan.
5, 2005:
Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) is actively lobbying Democratic National
Committee (DNC) delegates to select former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean as
their next chairman.
Several lawmakers said support by the hardscrabble, old-school Vietnam
veteran, who endorsed former Rep. Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.) in the
presidential primaries, would compel the DNC to take a second look at
the firebrand governor and not simply write him off as an extreme
avatar of the party’s antiwar wing.
So what does this show to the folks in Murtha's District 12 – the ones
who actually vote for or against Murtha's re-election this Nov. 7th?
It shows that their Congressman has strayed far from their beliefs,
concerns and needs. It shows that their Congressman is aligned with
one of the most liberal socialist Democrats in America.
Murtha's campaigning with Howard Dean in Pennsylvania is a slap in the
faces of his own constituents. His alignment with Dean – and with 'San
Francisco' Nancy Pelosi – is designed to take him to higher places...
Majority Leader. And, none of that has anything to do with the
beliefs, concerns and needs of PA's congressional District 12.
The
question is whether the God fearing patriotic Democrats of
Pennsylvania's 12th District will continue to support a Congressman
who no longer represents their values.
Xerox is sending free cards
to our soldiers in Iraq!
If you go to this web site,
www.letssaythanks.com
, you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it
will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You
can’t pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed
services.
How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send
one!!!
This is a great site. Please send a card. It is FREE and it only
takes a second.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the soldiers (and
Marines) received a bunch of these? Whether
you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need to
know we are behind them...
