Murtha Endorsement

The Blog | Kenneth Lerer: Murtha For President: Send to a Friend | The Huffington Post:
. . .

"This country needs a leader to step up today, to be a symbol of hope, to be a President-in-waiting.

My candidate is Congressman John Murtha from Pennsylvania. If you agree, add your email address below, and then send to a friend right now.

Congressman John P. Murtha looks like a kindly grandfather in his blue suit, white shirt and striped tie, but he breathes fire. He is angry and decent, and when people hear him speak (which he is doing on behalf of scores of candidates all over the country) they shout 'Murtha for President!' and the room erupts with cheers. You can feel the beginning of a grassroots campaign following him everywhere he goes.

He's the candidate Americans say they crave and this country needs: honest, direct, agenda free. He's not a bionic pol created by consultants and focus groups. He has a soul. With Jack Murtha, you get no bullshit, no lying, no spinning, no broken promises, no out-of-control ego. Americans want a guy who's got nothing to hide, who will fight fair for what he thinks is right, who doesn't know how to be anything but straight, and admit error when he's wrong. That's Jack Murtha --- at 73, he knows his own mind and isn't afraid of anybody. (And that's why the Republicans are so afraid of him.). . ."
