A Dozen Reasons why Commissioner Irey Can Defeat Rep. John Murtha
- John Kerry only managed to get 51% of the 12th district's vote in 2004, and Jack Murtha cannot realistically be expected to match that very high Presidential voter turnout.
- Diana Irey has 10 years of experience as Washington County's Commissioner, including seven consecutive balanced budgets without a tax increase.
- Veterans are incredibly upset with her dishonorable opponent, Mr. Murtha, and they are organizing to call attention to his despicable behavior. Two examples:
>>>> www.vets4irey.com
>>>> www.bootmurtha.com - Commissioner Irey understands that Okinawa is not located in or near the Persian Gulf.
- Pennsylvania has already exhibited an anti-incumbent trend this year.
- While Jack Murtha does not, Ms. Irey, Pennsylvanians and Americans in general still strongly believe in the presumption of innocence - especially when it comes to freedom's defenders during wartime
- When Jack Murtha first joined Congress, American had not yet celebrated its bicentennial. Diana Irey is relatively young and attractive, while Jack Murtha is... not.
- Diana Irey is articulate, while Jack Murtha is a tightly wound, stuttering idiot.
- Mr. Murtha's brother - Kit - is a Washington lobbyist who in 2004 landed about $20 million for his defense contractor clients. Coincidentally (??), Jack Murtha has been the top recipient of defense industry dollars for the past three years. Source
- Rep. Jack Murtha is an unindicted co-conspirator from the Abscam scandal; Commissioner Irey is not.
- Diana Irey will be a member of the ruling majority party; Jack Murtha is twelve years removed from that position.

It's still fairly early. A lot of folks still don't believe Murtha will face a serious challenge. Fine by me!

I'm heading out to a family reunion next weekend in Fayette county. About 70-80 people are gonna get a righteous Murtha schooling. They won't be pleased at what they hear.

You'll notice our friend Mom has not been back to defend her rumor.I hate Trolls. Especially Murtha-supporting Trolls.
To: StarCMC
12. Murtha is a traitor. And for the guys I'll add one more... 13. Irey is a babe.
Don't forget 14 - Murtha is a traitor. Very important.
I would like to add 15 - Murtha is endorsed by Comrade Kerry
and 16 - Irey is a babe.

Another reason is that Murtha has become out of touch with his district and has been voting as a liberal instead of the conservative he claims back home to be. In particular:
Murtha voted against the Real ID Act, to establish and rapidly implement regulations for State driver's license and identification document security standards, to prevent terrorists from abusing the asylum laws of the United States, to unify terrorism-related grounds for inadmissibility and removal, and to ensure expeditious construction of the San Diego border fence.
Murtha was one of only 58 Representatives to vote against allowing federal courts to review the Terri Schiavo case while she was being starved to death.
Murtha voted to use taxpayer dollars to finance research that destroys embryos for their stem cells.
Murtha voted against the USA PATRIOT and Terrorism Prevention Reauthorization Act.
Murtha voted against the Gasoline for America's Security Act, to expedite the construction of new oil refineries in the United States and implement penalties to prevent gasoline suppliers from overcharging consumers.
