#2 "First thing the President has to do is restore the credibility of the United States of America"
Congressman John Murtha

If I were a Pennsylvanian I'd be mighty proud. Thank God I'm NOT!

#3 I still can't believe how fucking stupid people are.

It's not stupid, it's the greed of pork. The Audacity of Selfishness.

#4 I think Darth summarized my feelings very well.

I will add that I can't believe that people in that part of Pennsylvania would elect a fat bastard arrogant Anti-American leftist like Murtha.

Can I add that this probably upsets me nearly as much as watching BO's acceptance speech? I don't know which one made me puke the most.

#5 Maybe by RedNeck he meant this area is really, really, stupid. Like Derick Zoolander stupid.

#6 Does anyone know how Allen West did in Florida?
How about Leyland in New York? These candidates were sponsored by vets for freedom.

O.K. here is my Kansas report.
Republican Roberts wins Senate seat with 62%.
Republican Moran wins House seat with 70%
Same with Republican Tiahart.
Republican Jensen in a big upset beats incumbent Bouda for house seat.

#8 Imagine how well he would have done if he had called them all drooling, inbred morons. I bet he would have gotten 75%.

Unbelievable.

#9 Because nothing says restoring credibility like re-electing this ass. Jeez.

PA, what happened? Might as well melt down that bell to make and hand out symbolic keys to the vault. Path of least resistence indeed.

#10 That's one shitbag our country could do without. Good job Pennsylvania! I'm sure he'll screw you good for re-electing him.

#11 The only state with stupider citizens is Mass. They turned down the opportunity to discontinue state income taxes. Morons.

#12 Hey, we did decriminalize weed. And saved the greyhounds.

#13 I didn't figure Murtha would get re-elected. He never seemed to respect his constituency or the rest of the country. Go figure. This falls into the category of "There are some things I'll just never understand."

As said above, I could never figure out why Kennedy and Frank keep getting re-elected. People vote for all kinds of reasons--some votes well thought out and reasoned and other votes emotional and whimsical.

#14 Well, henceforth the people of that part of that State will be known as "racist rednecks". No matter what else they ever do or accomplish, they are now labeled.

#15 I expected Murtha's all re-election all along. Come on, people. His congressional district had a track record to maintain. Even ignorant racist rednecks have standards they live by. The standards are just different from ours.

#17 Murtha's 72 and fat. Odds are against him, 40% chance he doesn't see another election - hopefully. I've never felt this way about anyone who once was a Marine. To me, he's an Ex-Marine. I'd kick his old fat ass and not feel bad.

#18 He wasn't semper fidelis, so he no longer counts as a Marine.

#19 tu3013, can i live with you since weed is decriminalized there now? We're gonna need alot of it the next 4 years

#20 Odds are against him If it's true only the good die young, Murtha will live forever.

#21 The silver lining is that the suits by the Marines continue. They will get a lot more publicity with him in office than they would have with him out. Should be a PR disaster for the donks as well as a humiliation for him. I hope.

#22 Is there a more despicable person than Murtha?

#23 "Is there a more despicable person than Murtha?"

Ted Kennedy's pretty close - I don't think fat jack actually ever killed anyone.

Slick Willie has the abuse of 6 women or so on his hands.

Pretty much a toss up in my book. I'd like to whip all three of their old asses.
