Move your feet, Lose your seat

Not my brother could possibly lose his seat and his pork loving friends could lose the scraps from the dinner table (we are talking prime rib here people).
The professional socialist taxman Jack Murtha might get the ax from the people he fails to represent….
The 18-term congressman’s challenger, staunch conservative Republican newcomer William Russell, raised nearly $670,000 in the second fundraising quarter. Earmark king Murtha scraped together a measly $119,000. Russell’s underdog campaign bested Murtha without the perks of incumbency, national name recognition, big PAC donations or mainstream media support.
The best part is it is a veteran with real military experience that will be going against the overlord.
Russell’s clear on where he stands. No doubt Barack Obama would label him bitter and clingy. "I am a Conservative," he says in his defining campaign statement. "I believe in the sovereignty and security of this one nation, under God. I believe the primary role of government is to provide for the common defense and a legal framework to protect families and individual liberty. … I believe that no one owes me anything just because I live and breathe."
