Although a couple days old, it’s worth bringing up as it didn’t seem to get much coverage. Especially at a time when exorbitant spending is rampant. But that hasn’t stopped some politicians from running wild with their “earmarks.”

Case in point, John Murtha. Mister “our soldiers are mass murderers,” even though those in question had been exonerated. Murtha looks to be in the lead at the moment with the most money earmarked for his district. $162 million so far, to be exact.

NewsMax had a little bit about this in their article on Jan. 14th, 2008 titled “Murtha Led Congress in Earmarks.” I guess being in charge of the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee gives you permission to secure funds for a bunch of your contributors. 26 of them in all total.

Definitely makes Lt. Col. William Russell look like the better choice. I tapped out an article about him a short while back. Since then, his website which can be found HERE, has been a little more populated since it’s inception. Including a NEWS section, which makes mention of Murtha’s willingness to vote for the Ramadan month recognition, but refused to participate in the Judeo-Christian recognition. I recommend taking a look. For those that need the direct link, it can be found here; http://williamrussellforcongress.com/.
