Marine veteran yet the enemy of Marines, Jack Murtha passed away before his public life could be nailed as a corrupt politician in Congress. Now an ex-aid to Murtha has been chosen by the Dems to take Murtha’s Congressional District in Pennsylvania. The Special Election is slated to take place May 18 which will be followed by another election race in November 2010.

The GOP has selected Tim Burns to run against the pre-May 18 favorite Democrat Mark Critz. The surprise is that Burns is running strong in the polls against the Dem Critz.

Here is the Dem hypocrisy. Critz is marketing himself as a pro-gun anti-Obamacare Conservative candidate yet the truth is he supported the same anti-troop and pork barrel junk that the deceased Murtha supported. Critz is getting big money from the Dem Party including über-Leftists like Nancy Pelosi and VP Biden’s fund raising skills.

Burns is running as the authentic Conservative receiving less dough from the GOP. Burns needs the financial support of Conservatives who are also outside of Pennsylvania Congressional District 12. After all Critz is receiving such support on the national basis to keep the GOP from whittling down the Dem majority in the House.

Below is the Newt Gingrich endorsement sent out by Human Events.
