FBI suspected the late Rep. John Murtha (D-PA) in scheme funneling funds to benefit friends, ex-staffers. “…the WaPo and others had documented the odd appearance of earmarks for tiny defense contractors that just happened to open an office in western Pennsylvania and just happened to hire one of the lobbying firms close to Murtha and just happened to begin making campaign donations to Murtha and other Members of Congress close to him.” Another Democrat who did his share to combat greed.

What a shock!!!!
Murtha was a thief and a liar. The best thing he did in his life was dying.
As slimy is Murtha was, I dont think this type of thing is out of the norm for the elected scum in DC. There are never any consequences.
Problem is, too many looked the other way with Murtha. Also, I think too many are like Murtha, but they are smart enough to hide it better.
Our Dear Leader learned some of his best fundraising tricks from Murtha. After a little refinement, move a decimal point or two, and bingo..Obama Campaign Finance Committee!!!
He was more pig than man. The statue that they put up for him has his hand outstretched for a bribe.

Really? Murtha was corrupt from the 1st days he landed in Congress. He was implicated in the Abscam sting.
He served his country then sat about screwing the tax payers of it by stealing and taking from anyone who got in the room with him.
What? He didn't set up a 'tiny tiny tiny defense contract' with the KKK to help keep peace in the ghettos? FKing turncoat. Oh, maybe he did. Wasn't it called the neighborhood diversity plan?
