Father of Slain Marine to Challenge Anti-War Democrat By Rizzuto 
Wed Jan 16, 2008 - The father of a Marine who was killed in Anbar Province on April 27th will be challenging Democrat Rep. Patrick Murphy.From the Associated Press: WASHINGTON - The father of a Marine killed in Iraq announced yesterday he is running for the Pennsylvania House seat held by the only Iraq war veteran in Congress. Thomas Manion, a Republican who recently retired as a colonel in the Marine Reserves, is reacting to the anti-war stance of Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Pa.). Manion’s son, 1st Lt. Travis L. Manion, 26, of Doylestown, Pa., died April 29 during his second Iraq tour while living with an Iraqi unit he was leading and training. He said his son’s death was a wake-up call to step forward and serve. Are heads going to explode due to the amount of absolute moral authority being thrown around? Only time will tell. Until then, good luck to Thomas Manion. We'll post his website just as soon as it goes live. Hat Tip to Gateway Pundit.
