alibe, I’ve been by the Johnstown area many times, and I had my head scratching about that airport. Esp. since there’s a good one in Altoona about, what?, 15-20 miles away. But I have no problem with Murtha, as true blue an American as their ever was. He saw the baloney of Obamania.

alibe–Most every politician has done good things. But power corrupts absolutely–and I think Murtha has been in the game for too long.

Pat, you certainly are bringing us the best and most truthful topics of our government in a way not many can otherwise comprehend. I saw the original ‘story’ about Murtha’s airport. I’m sure he does get money and perks for his district, but is that for the good of the Union? We are all taxpayers who support him monitarily as we do our own elected “screwers” whose main objective is to get the best photo ops so they get re-elected. It’s all for their own pocket-lining….I don’t have much faith in any of the politicians. We just don’t know what agenda each of them has.

Thanks for another great ‘toon.

Nothing like believing a CNN post. Remember, Murtha was a BIG, BIG TIME Hillary supporter. This is mostly BS. Not saying he doesn’t have his pet projects. Johnstown airport is in a very difficult mountain top place which is often fogged in. Much snow and sleet too. We need a good radar tower. We have needs here too.

This pure political payback. He has his pet projects, but his pork can’t hold a candle to the real stuff the Republiscams did. Murtha is a decent man. I am in his district and I would stand with him anytime. He sure stood with Hillary.

I live in Murtha’a district. And we use to have traffic. But with the last few years, no trickle down here. We were a booming place with booming steel mills, fabricating plants, coal mines, clothing factories, hospitals, university etc. Now, after 8 years of Bush. We have had the life sucked out of us. If not for Murtha, I don’t know what would have become of us. Remember, Murtha was the first big time Congressperson to stand up to Bush and try to get us out of Iraq honorably. He is being targeted by the right and the left. Obama doesn’t want a Democrat pointing out we are not getting out of Iraq, especially from a Hillary supporter. And the Bush fools want payback for the ranking member of the Armed Services committee who had the nerve to say Bush and his ILK had no clothes. Don’t attack Murtha. He was a big time HILLARY supporter till the bitter end. He stood with her at every rally. The right brought in a carpetbagger from DC to try and unseat Him. We ain’t that stupid. Don’t you be! Let him alone!!!!

You, me and millions of others feel the same way. I too want to know when we are going to get around to naming a third party so we know who to support in upcoming elections, those who hold the same values as we do. We must name a third party, we must have time to organize and have a platform.
I feel as though something about our Constitution would be great. The Constitutionalists? I think that used to be a real party. Just the Constitution party. Or how about THIRD PARTY, when number one and number two just wont do?
I just want to be able to recognize those with my values in mind. I am a Puma, but I don’t know if everyone else is, PUMA the Party of the People, real Americans with real values to represent our citizens, not big business!
IMHO, Peace!

I wonder how many signatures are needed to get Term Limits placed on the federal ballot?

I think two terms or 8 years not only is enough for the president, it’s enough for Congressmen/women and Senators. They themselves are unwilling to change how things are done in Washington. Term limits seem to be the only way things are going to change.

If people are that happy/satisfied with the job their representative is doing, they can vote them in for 8 years in Senate and then 8 years for Congress. Then they have to step down. There should be enough good people in either or that will be coming up for their second term to stop most of them from getting to comfortable. Plus, that would still give them the opportunity to serve 8 more years than the president. We have to send a shock wave through Washington that enough is enough from both sides.

John Murtha has already received the dubious honor of being named one of the “most corrupt members of Congress.”

His reply?

If he was corrupt it was because he was working hard for his district.

I almost spewed my coffee on that one. This is the same district he labeled as backward and racist during the primary.

On the other hand, I agree with JohnnyB. I was glad to hear Murtha speaking out against the War in Iraq. But his silence now is deafening. Partisan politics at its best.

Rich, term limits are looking better and better to me. Now, if we could only find honest people who could stay that way to take these crooks’ place.

I like that concept, Patriotparty, and 32 other states have voted resolutions–binding or otherwise–along those lines. State are broke; they cannot afford unfunded mandates from the Feds anymore. States have to operate on balanced budgets, even if Helicopter Ben and Obama want to spend us into bankruptcy. So, I hope to see the rest of the 50 states pass similar resolutions, and separate themselves from these reckless policies from our Fed and Treasury.
