Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested, exiled, or hanged.
~ Abraham Lincoln

He’s been bought and paided for.
Is this who Western Pennsylvania wants representing them in Washington?
Time to put Murtha out to pasture.
Time for a fresh face.
As a Washington County Commissioner I have steadily fought for lower taxes, lower government spending and gave a strong voice to our values in local government. Now I want to take the fight to Washington, and replace John Murtha who has lost his way after 32 years in Congress. As a Republican, I will work with both parties to cut through the partisan gridlock that is hurting our country.
Once our down-home Congressman, John Murtha has now become a full-fledged Washington politician complete with a record of out of touch votes(including 11 straight times to raise his own pay), and a new national persona that conflicts with our values and principles.
We need to spread our message as far and wide in the 12th District as possible and we need your help to do so. Please tell your friends, family and neighbors about our mission and encourage them to join us. Its time we remind our Congressman that he answers to us, not political insiders and party leaders.

Thanks to Blue Crab Boulevard for the tip on Diana Irey’s run for Congress. She looks like a great alternative to Murtha.

Arrested, exiled, or hanged… NO– but I would love to see him fired by his constituents in PA…
Good post, Beth…

You know I wouldn’t be that harsh

“Congressmen who willfully take actions during wartime that damage morale & undermine the military are saboteurs & should be arrested, exiled, or hanged.†- President Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln never said this. Ever. This quote is a fabrication of Dr. J. Michael Waller, a long time Republican pundit, who first wrote it in a Moonie publication, Insight Magazine on December 23, 2003 shortly before the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth gave it life in 2004.
I have two original King & Baird pamphlets in my collection, the identical pamphlet Waller sites as his proof, “TRUTH FROM AN HONEST MANâ€Â. Lincoln never wrote anything like this … here, or anywhere else.
How pathetic has the Republican Party become that it insults the reputation of America’s finest Republican president for their political gain?

I can’t say enough good things about what Brooks Jackson did with my original TRUTH FROM AN HONEST MAN pamphlet I loaned him.
My great, great, grandfather, who I am named in honor of, made the supreme sacrifice for our country in Lincoln’s Union Army serving Stonewall Jackson his only defeat in the Civil War.
Diana Irey has “cut&run” from her use of this Lincoln quote. Write her “handler” Bill Pascoe at bill@irey.com and ask him. He’s the one who arranged this “cut&run”
