John Murtha's "Pork" of a Monument to Himself at Taxpayers Expense

From Tranquilla II on the Back of Eddy Creek on Lake Barkley --- You may remember Congressman John Murtha (D-Pa.). He maligned and bad mouthed our troops even though they have fought for our freedom and liberty and for his "privileges" as a "Congressman" to bring home "pork" of unbelievable amounts (tens of millions of dollars) to an airport named after himself that gets - are you ready for this - 20 visitors a day on the average!

From my friend and fellow conservative Lynn Beckman. See how your hard-earned tax dollars are being spent by the Democrats and the Republicans that "buy their votes" with our tax dollars! It's all pork stupid!

The below link illustrates very graphically how PORK pays off for incumbents. It's easy to see why the good folks of John Murtha's district may well re-elect him. He brings home the BACON!

However, I wish ABC would have translated the dollars spent on this airport into the cost to American taxpayers for each vote the infamous Congressman John Murtha stands to gain from the country's "investment" into the John Murtha Airport. Absolutely staggering to think about this kind of thing going on continually all over the country, year in and year out. Talk about a sea of RED INK !!! By the way, even though Murtha is a Democrat,

I'm not in any way excusing the many Republicans who perpetrate the same crime. They're all guilty and need to be un-elected at the next election, and replaced with fiscal conservatives, regardless of party.

This was on ABC Nightly News a few days ago. The first few seconds is a
commercial. Then it goes into a report on the John Murtha Airport.
