UNBELIEVABLE; Senate rejected an amendment offered by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) to stop transportation subsidies for John Murtha Airport. See list..

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) speaks for the second time on the floor against continuing funding for Rep. John Murtha's airport, dubbed "air-pork" since it has received $200 million in taxpayer funds in recent years. Note to liberals. John Murtha is a WHITE democrat, which really sucks for democrats because they can't use the race card this time. Jim DeMint is our frontrunner for 2012. He would make a great President and libertarians, blue dogs and true conservatives would love him.

■Named the John Murtha Airport, 650-acre state-of-the-art facility in Johnstown, PA
■Received $200 million in federal funds over 20 years, $150 million steered by Murtha himself, who uses the airport for campaign stops
■Only 3 flights daily, to only one destination: Washington, D.C. (Dulles airport)
■Averages 20 passengers daily
■Received $800,000 in stimulus funds this year to repave a backup runway, even though the airport manager says there are no safety issues with the current runway
■Has an $8.5 million radar system paid for by taxpayers, that remains unstaffed and unused
■Airport passenger count has fallen by 50% in the past 10 years, as federal funds continue to pour in
■Federal funds subsidize every flight into the airport, an average of $100 per passenger on each flight

Despite these fact, 53 Senators voted to continue the subsidies. 50 democrats 2 republicans and 1 socialist party member. That should tell you something. (The democrat party is the new socialist party)

Let's see what scumbags voted against this. They should ALL be voted out of office.
