What John Murtha’s Challenger Doesn’t Want You to Know
More than 85 percent of the money raised by the Russell campaign has come from outside of the 12th Congressional District.
Russell violated military law when he appeared on the Michael Savage Nation, a political talk show, on May 14 while on active duty.
In his commencement address at the Naval Academy in April, Admiral Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said, "If you are in the U.S. military, stay out of politics.
And as a result of a complaint filed on June 11, 2008, (Case No. MUR 6024) with the Federal Election Commission, Russell is now disclosing receipts, disbursments and banking activtites not previously disclosed. The Russell campaign committed clear and egregious violations of Federal election laws. The Russell camp continues their campaign of denial and deception.
The response from Russell’s campaign manager, Peg Luksik, to the filing of the complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) shows that the Russell people were actually worried that their own schemes were going to be publicly exposed, and so they were striking preemptively, trying to "shoot the messenger" as a way of avoiding dealing with the substance of the charges.
The truth has come out, and Russell and Luksik have egg all over their faces, and the voters of the District can see in Russell's FEC disclosures that Stiles was right, that the Russell campaign had a lot to hide.
Russell may have gotten his wish when he got enough write-in votes to make the November ballot, but breaking the law will be his worst nightmare.
Given that Russell can’t even manage and properly account for the money he’s raising for his campaign, the 12th Congressional District has zero reason to trust him to provide oversight over the federal budget.
This case illustrates the knowing and willful violations of campaign finance laws. The Russell campaign has brazingly sought to run an off-the-books campaign.

Dear Anon,

What John Murtha’s Challenger Doesn’t Want You to Know More than 85 percent of the money raised by the Russell campaign has come from outside of the 12th Congressional District.

How much of Murtha's moolah is generated externally to the district?

Russell violated military law when he appeared on the Michael Savage Nation, a political talk show, on May 14 while on active duty.

Which part of the UCMJ did he violate?

And as a result of a complaint filed on June 11, 2008, (Case No. MUR 6024) with the Federal Election Commission, Russell is now disclosing receipts, disbursments and banking activtites not previously disclosed.

That is typical when someone begins a run for office to get their finances in order and to make their campaign spending 'transparent.'

The Russell campaign committed clear and egregious violations of Federal election laws.

Proof?

The Russell camp continues their campaign of denial and deception. The response from Russell’s campaign manager, Peg Luksik, to the filing of the complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) shows that the Russell people were actually worried that their own schemes were going to be publicly exposed, and so they were striking preemptively, trying to "shoot the messenger" as a way of avoiding dealing with the substance of the charges. The truth has come out, and Russell and Luksik have egg all over their faces, and the voters of the District can see in Russell's FEC disclosures that Stiles was right, that the Russell campaign had a lot to hide.

PROOF!?!?!

Given that Russell can’t even manage and properly account for the money he’s raising for his campaign, the 12th Congressional District has zero reason to trust him to provide oversight over the federal budget. This case illustrates the knowing and willful violations of campaign finance laws. The Russell campaign has brazingly sought to run an off-the-books campaign.

Well, I've justed five minutes of my life disecting your BS. Tell me, Anon, what office of the DNC do you work out of?

If the GOP intends to survive they need to cast off these bloated carpetbaggers like William Russell. Russell is the poster child for what has gone wrong with the Republican Party. Russell will not steer Republicans down a principled path. Russell is a throw away candidate. And Luksik is an extreme right-wing conservative and has been who has injected her platform into Russell's campaign.

Bloated carpetbagger? Would you care to qualify that or just continue to make ad hominems? The man's serving our country in uniform and you name-call and cast aspersions. Furthermore, the problem with the GOP is NOT that it's too far to the right (which I assume is your point since you refer to Luksik as an "extreme right-wing conservative"). Just the opposite. A principled GOP wouldn't continue to try and position it to the left with the socialist Democrats.

If the GOP intends to survive they need to cast off these bloated carpetbaggers like William Russell.



Looks like Te Olde Saloon has got some moonbats buzzin' around in here...
