Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) dies today – they’re already predicting a tough battle for his seat in the House of Representatives…
They’re dropping like flies on poison garbage, they are.
And I like it.
To anyone who says “That’s horrible! Don’t disrespect the dead!” I say “Fuck it, and fuck you. Those nanny statist bastards are stealing from us, robbing us at gunpoint and fucking up America to try to make it socialist.” I say “Good riddance to bad trash.”
He was revered among Democrats — and even some Republicans — for his skill over 19 terms in using the power of the federal purse to make kings and deals. A right-hand man of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, he was considered one of the most influential lawmakers on Capitol Hill and credited with her ascension.

A hint of scandal lingered over much of Murtha’s career. The FBI named Murtha an “unindicted co-conspirator” in its ABSCAM sting operation in the late 1970s and early ‘80s. ABSCAM resulted in the conviction of five House members and one senator. The FBI recorded Murtha on videotape declining a $50,000 bribe from federal agents posing as Arab sheiks. But the Congressman did say he could be interested in future dealings.
This death couldn’t come at a worse time for the King George Obama-led administration. But you know what they say, “Coincidences are God’s way of staying anonymous.”

I won’t dance on anyone’s grave. I don’t want to see nanny state politicians die, I’d rather see the voters use some common sense and not elect them in the first place.
I’ll dance for the both of us then, Matt.
It’s your karma, boss.
Matt, do you believe in reincarnation? Because that’s what “karma” has to do with.

I gotta agree with Matt, I’d rather see nanny staters stay alive and suffer, being forced to live in a FREE country. It really frosts their asses to watch people make their own choices, it’s a punishment far more fitting than death.
Vote ‘em out? Sure.
Dance on their graves? My mama didn’t raise me that way.

Michael, I do believe in reincarnation, want to hear about some of my past lives? I also believe in a concept called “orlog” which is more like an ancestral/familial karma. But that’s neither here nor there. However, the ‘karma’ I was referring to is a ‘what comes around, goes around’ kind of thing. I think it’s just bad form to gloat when someone dies. I didn’t cheer when Jerry Falwell died, for example, because even though I personally loathed the man, he had a wife, children, a family, and many people who loved him. Could you look Mrs. Murtha in the eye and say “good riddance to bad trash”?
Maybe you could. I, however, could not.
Michael, you know how liberals like to paint conservatives as cold-hearted yet conservatives say its not true. Well, celebrating death does not help to break that stereotype.
I know many people may have never heard of a man by the name of Bert Lance, but he was very involved with Murtha.
When I was younger and still a kid, my dad knew Bert Lance very well and I remember Bert sitting at our house one night talking about Murtha and him telling my Dad ” I don’t know why that snitch is turning on us all, Murtha was the one that set this all up”, I later asked my Dad what he was talking about and my Dad telling me ” Ah nothing, Bert is in a little trouble over this Abscam thing”.
So needless to say, if what I heard was true, Murtha was a Crook and he got away with it.
