Tim Burns and the Pennsylvania “Clingers”

[Pennsylvanians] get bitter, they cling to guns, or religion, or antipathy to people who aren’t like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment...as a way to explain their frustrations.” -- Barack Hussein Obama April 6, 2008

"...this election is extremely important and is widely viewed as a bellwether for the upcoming mid-terms.... It will...make vulnerable Democrat politicians less likely to support Obama this summer, when he pushes for the cap and tax and amnesty bills, while he still has large majorities in Congress." -- Doug Brady April 28, 2010 Two years after Obama dismissed the people of Pennsylvania's 12th District, as clinging to God and religion, his supercilious comments are coming back to bite the Democrats on the butt. A little over a week from now, elections will be held to fill the seat left vacant by John Murtha's death (1932-2010). I believe in the adage, "if you can't say something nice about the dead, don't say anything at all." So this is all I have to say about Murtha (D-PA): If you would like to find out more about Murtha's long career, you might check out The Wall Street Journal's "John Murtha and Congress's 'culture of corruption." Or you might check out Murtha's slander of the USMC, in Christian Lowe's article "Murtha's Mistake." If you prefer videos, there are also several videos of Murtha slandering the Marines, or you can check out Murtha ignoring the Congressional rules of order in YouTube's "An Insult to Our Democracy." (Actually, it's an insult to our republic -- in any event, an insult). (What was it that Rep. Hastings (D-FL) said? Something to the effect of "Rules? We make 'em up as we go along." Oh really? We'll see about that). But enough about Murtha. Suffice it to say that a large number of voters in southwestern Pennsylvania have awoken from their slumber, and are not going to vote the Democratic ticket, just because "that's what we do." Not anymore it's not. That's the way things used to be -- that's "what we used to do." An ever increasing number of voters are turning to Republican Tim Burns. Burns has not only garnered the backing of such conservative heavy hitters as Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich, but (most importantly) he has earned the backing of the area's blue-collar workers. Not since the Massachusetts election, have folks been so passionate about an election's outcome. People are flocking in from all over, to volunteer their time, and make donations. You can keep track of the campaign via Twitter. Unlike Scott Brown, Burns is a true conservative, who not only wants to reduce the federal deficit; he wants to eliminate it -- and he's serious about getting people back to work. That's not a knock against Scott Brown who, after all, is from Massachusetts. Who did you expect -- Barry Goldwater? Tim Burns, however, is not just a Republican in name, but his conservative principles are downright Reaganesque. What do you say we help this guy get elected? As Doug Brady states in the article I quoted from earlier, "this election is extremely important." Indeed. The "HotAir" website notes that "The Pennsylvania Patriot revolution needs volunteers for their army. To learn more, visit timburnsforcongress.com/." Laus Deo. Go Tim!
