We MUST keep the dems attached to Murtha. He stepped into the public eye with his attacks on our military personnel and he cannot now be allowed to slink back into the dark corners.

Alright, you asked nice so I sent more money to Irey.

I can't wait to see her fundraising totals, hope they are real strong... It takes a lot to beat an incumbent.

Come on Freepers, let's help Surrender Jack retire so he can spend time in South Dakota with Tommy Daschle...

Let's make Surrender Jack an uncumbent!

You're a good man, I don't care what Patton says! Considering she finished last quarter with approx. $75K in the bank, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with these upcoming numbers. No, I don't know what they'll be, but I've been making some educated guesses based on number of donations and the like. I think Ms. Irey will gain the attention of some real money people.

And we should keep in mind that a large chunk of what she's received has been just in this month of June. Let's hope the momentum continues and grows.

Irey - 95%
Murtha - 5%

 

55% margin of error

I don't think they can. I get the feeling we are going to see innumerable commercials featuring Murtha's big fat, treasonous, hypocrital, backsides wrapped aroung the ears of every Democrat running for re-election.

I saw that yesterday. It is great. Anyone that quick on her feet may just have an outside shot at the big loud mouth. Keep criticizing the marines, Murtha.

I was already bothered by Jack Murtha's selling out of the very military personnel he authorized to wage combat, but I took his premature & public declaration of Marines extremely personally!

I'm not officially connected with Ms. Irey's campaign. I'm just a passionate advocate for her victory and EX-Marine Murtha's defeat.

Murtha sides up with Code Pink

Code Pink has given $650,000 to the terrorists in Fallujah, participated in war crimes tribunals against America and has called American soldiers "killers" on their website among many treasonous actions. They display signs like "Maimed for a Lie" at Walter Reed Army Medical Center where wounded troops are healing.
Text of Code Pink's statement on meeting Rep. Murtha:
Thank You Congressman Murtha! CODEPINK co-founder Gael Murphy and DC coordinator Allison Yorra met with Congressman Murtha to thank him for his courageous stand on Iraq. We presented him with our pink badge of courage and pink flowers sent by CODEPINK members nationwide.


Murtha's "Cut & Run" Comments on Iraq:

"there's no progress at all"

"it's worse than it was prewar"

"we should immediatley redeploy"

"War cannot be won on the ground"

"I have said it's a civil war"

"We cannot win this militarily. Our tactics themselves keep us from winning,"

Murtha's Comments on our Troops:

"Would you join (the military) today?," he was asked in an interview. "No," replied Murtha

"And I think you're saying the average guy out there who's considering recruitment is justified in saying 'I don't want to serve'," the interviewer continued. "Exactly right," said Murtha

"we have become a catalyst for violence" in Iraq

Marines "killed innocent civilians in cold blood." at Haditha

"I will not excuse murder, and this is what happened"

"This is worse than Abu Ghraib"

"Hopefully, this is an isolated incident. But we're supposed to be selling ideas of America, ideals of America, and we're losing that war."

"These kind of things have to be brought out immediately," he told "This Week," "because if the Marines got away with it, other Marines might think it's okay."

"What they're saying to me is we're stretching the military too thin. The army is broken, and we couldn't deploy to a second front if we wanted to."

"The troops don't know what to do. They don't have the direction they need in order to supervise the prisoners,"

Yeah, redeploy him back home. Better yet, send him to Okinawa he'll be able to rapidly respond to his family needs from there.

It is little wonder that many in his Party would want to distance themselves from Murtha. They don't want to be associated with a person who shamelessly displays inappropriate behavior.

cold blooded killers (statement about Marines before investigation completed)

Okinawa (redeploy troops for rapid response but 5000 miles away)

at this time (turning down payoff but keeping offer on table)

This type behavior is delusional and cannot be accepted in a person representing the people of our great country.

Sometimes I wonder . . .

What sort of Machiavellian scenario might be playing whereby

the puppet masters set up the DIMRATS to be the most utterly insane, off-the-wall, idiotic, clueless, bumbling, traitorous . . . . stupeeedos of the last many centuries . . .

for what?

to then get their RINOs to push through skull duggery? A la Nixon and China?

I don't know. But sometimes, the stupidity on the part of the DIMRATS just seems too extreme for even their normal unaided cluelessness.

Not trying to be paranoid. [I heard that.]

Just trying to avoid being naive, too.

One or two SUPER STUPEEEEDO'S I could understand. I could understand even 3-4--it probably comes naturally with DIMRATS. But flocks and flocks of them? What's up?

What's the globalist game plan with that?

Heh. The Dems are the user class -- they like Murtha while he's getting them some traction, but as soon as he's a liability he's thrown away like yesterday's leftovers. And when someone thinks they are losing their popularity with their cheerleaders, they come up with new and more outrageous claims to hold the attention. He's an Attention Wh*** pure and simple. They all operate the same way. Look for Murtha to sport some even wilder claims in the near future! That's my prediction.
