From The Hill:
“He [Murtha] is again the top recipient of defense industry money in
Congress.
The defense industry contributed $371,700 to Murtha’s campaign.”
[EXCERPT]
He is a longtime supporter of the industry and a hawk, but has emerged
in the past year as his party’s most vocal critic of the Iraq war —
urging withdrawal of U.S. troops.
And despite heightened focus on curbing congressional pork-barrel
spending, Murtha has opposed earmark reform.

Murtha email message: SCREW YOU!
“They've tried to smear me, other veterans, Democrats, you and anybody
who
stands up to them. Well, let me say one thing right now: screw them.”
–John
Murtha, email message 10-11-2006
Ultra-liberal, pro-abortion, anti-war PAC MoveOn.org has enlisted the
help of Congressman John Murtha to raise some big bucks. Below is the
mass e-mail just sent out:
Dear MoveOn members,
I want to get right to the point. The election is 4 weeks from today.
I'm working hard to turn the mess in Iraq around—but I need more good
people in Congress with me. The folks below are some of the best. Can
you chip in $25 or more to help them finish their campaigns? Click on

A year ago when I presented my plan for Iraq, I did it to provide
leadership and protect our troops. The Republicans have spent their
time name-calling while the situation for our troops in Iraq gets
worse.
They've tried to smear me, other veterans, Democrats, you and anybody
who stands up to them. Well, let me say one thing right now: screw
them. Those gravestones at Arlington cemetery don't say Democrat or
Republican on them.
We are all patriots.
But as long as Republicans are in charge, they're just going to keep
playing politics instead of doing what needs to be done for the
American people. And that's why we need to throw them out of power—as
many of them as possible.
I've traveled around the country and met a lot of our candidates.
They're outstanding people.
This week three top candidates—Lois Murphy (PA-6), Chris Carney
(PA-10) and Zack Space (OH-18)—need the funds for critical final
campaign spending. Can you step up and chip in $25 or more? Click
below.

At this point in the campaign your support is the difference for these
candidates. If you've already contributed I need you to do it again.
If you haven't contributed yet (and you can) I want you to get off
your backside.
I know that you and I might not agree on everything but we agree that
to change course in Iraq we need a big change in leadership in
Washington.
I've never been one to go out front and lead the charge in the
elections—but I learned that these Republicans in charge right now
couldn't care less about getting out of Iraq. Only a switch of power
will change things.
I heard about how you're supporting great patriots running for
Congress like Iraq veteran Patrick Murphy who backs my plan to get out
of Iraq. You can do it again.
The three candidates who need your support today will fight
side-by-side with me in Congress when the time comes to hold George W.
Bush's feet to the fire. Can I count on you to chip in $25 or more?

When this is all over and we've won we can turn around this mess and
protect America the way it should be done. What America needs right
now is bold politicians with the courage to say what needs to be done.
I know we will do it.
Sincerely,
John P. Murtha
