John Murtha. What a character. How does a decorated Vietnam War Marine end up being one of the biggest pork barrel project spenders on the country? What a waste of space I tell you. And to prove it, take a look at this Washington Post article dated Sunday, April 19, talking about the $200 million in federal funds it received over the last decade (that's on average $20 million a year for those counting) for an airport that has THREE flights a day, all to Washington D.C. Must be those flights to help those lobbyists get to and from K-Street in D.C. to continue to buy John Murtha. Don't believe me? The FBI is investigating his ties to defense contractor lobbyists and the donations they have given to his campaign. He single-handily brings in more money to his district through earmark allocations than any other Congressman or woman in the Congress.
And they want to know why we have Tea Party protests... there are more TSA workers at this airport than travelers! Down with wasteful government spending... down with John Murtha!

Nice work, Colorado Springs. Now, I'm wondering why we've never heard about it here in NEPA (That's Northeastern Pennsylvania.) FYI, our Tea Party in Stroudsburg, PA had a turnout of 454 documented attendees, in a county of 150,000.
