The RightBlogs Slate: Bill Russell

Folks, I’d like to take a moment to encourage you to chip in a few bucks to Bill Russell.

Why Bill Russell? He’s a conservative veteran who has a real chance to beat that corrupt, worthless sack of human garbage, John Murtha.

Here’s an excerpt from Michelle Malkin’s latest column on the Murtha/Russell race.

“The champion for hope and change is GOP challenger Bill Russell, a Desert Storm veteran, former Army lieutenant colonel and Army reservist who survived the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the Pentagon.

I reported to you in this column on July 23 that Russell is “the man who could topple John Murtha.” (His campaign website is russellbrigade.com.) Victory seemed like a nearly impossible miracle three months ago. Now, Murtha is on the ropes and finally feeling the heat.

On Thursday, a new poll by Dane and Associates put Russell ahead of Murtha by 48-35. A separate Susquehanna poll released Wednesday put entrenched incumbent Murtha up over Russell by just a little more than 4 percentage points. That’s within the poll’s 4.9-point margin of error. Murtha’s in so much trouble he decided to cut and run from a scheduled debate with Russell last week.”

Look, folks, I don’t know what election day is going to hold for the Republican Party, but odds are it’s going to range from bad to very bad. However, if John Murtha were to lose, there would at least be one silver lining to the dark cloud that’s going to be over that day.

So, if you’re looking to really make a donation count, let me strongly suggest that you put some money towards Bill Russell’s campaign. This is a guy who deserves your support.
