A Dozen Reasons why Commissioner Irey Can Defeat Rep. John Murtha

  1. 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.
  2. Diana Irey has 10 years of experience as Washington County's Commissioner, including seven consecutive balanced budgets without a tax increase.
  3. 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
  4. Commissioner Irey understands that Okinawa is not located in or near the Persian Gulf.
  5. Pennsylvania has already exhibited an anti-incumbent trend this year.
  6. 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
  7. 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.
  8. Diana Irey is articulate, while Jack Murtha is a tightly wound, stuttering idiot.
  9. 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
  10. Rep. Jack Murtha is an unindicted co-conspirator from the Abscam scandal; Commissioner Irey is not.
  11. Diana Irey will be a member of the ruling majority party; Jack Murtha is twelve years removed from that position.

Reason #1. Pennsylvania citizens do not want a traitor for a congressman.

Please ping this to every Freeper you're aware of, particularly if they're from southwestern Pennsylvania. This is perhaps the most important House race in the country.

There is no better defense than a good offense, and the best way to make sure that the GOP has a comfortable majority in the House of Representatives come next year is to make Democrat incumbents earn their reelection. A prime GOP takeover possibility is the PA-12, where the formerly conservative Democrat Jack Murtha has been making an ass of himself and has begun voting like Dennis Kucinich. Republican Diana Irey has an excellent chance of pulling off the upset in a district that gave Kerry only 51%, and she is deserving of our support. I already sent a donation her way; if every FReeper does the same, irrespective of the size of the donation, "Abscam Jack" Murtha will be sent home to Johnstown with his tail between his legs.

The "Peace" Democrats are Back - It's a Dream Come True for Karl Rove
Wall Street Journal ^ | August 7, 2006 | MARTIN PERETZ


Posted on 08/07/2006 10:28:41 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative


We have been here before. Left-wing Democrats are once again fielding single-issue "peace candidates," and the one in Connecticut, like several in the 1970s, is a middle-aged patrician, seeking office de haut en bas, and almost entirely because he can. It's really quite remarkable how someone like Ned Lamont, from the stock of Morgan partner Thomas Lamont and that most high-born American Stalinist, Corliss Lamont, still sends a chill of "having arrived" up the spines of his suburban supporters simply by asking them to support him. Superficially, one may think of those who thought they were already middle class just by being enthusiasts of Franklin Roosevelt, who descended from the Hudson River Dutch aristocracy. But when FDR ran for, and was elected, president in 1932, he had already been a state senator, assistant secretary of the Navy and governor of New York. He had demonstrated abilities.

At least in this sense, Mr. Lamont comes to this campaign for the U.S. Senate from absolutely nowhere--and it shows in his pulpy statements on public issues. Here is a paradigmatic one: "We need to provide parents and communities the support they need to assure that children start their school day ready to learn." Of course, he also thinks that U.S. troops should be replaced by the U.N. in Iraq. Does he know anything at all about the history of the idea that he so foolishly rescues from the dust? So what we have in this candidacy is someone, with no public record to speak of but with perhaps a quarter of a billion dollars to his name, who wants to be a senator. Mr. Lamont has almost no experience in public life. He was a cable television entrepreneur, a run-of-the-mill contemporary commercant with unusually easy access to capital.

"I read that article earlier this morning. That author knows a train wreck when he sees one coming."

The rats are starting to look like a stalled train on a railroad track with no signals with two speeding Amtrac trains hurtling to the stalled Rat Train on the same track from different directions.

The Two speeding Amtrac trains have banners saying "Out of Iraq, now!" The stalled DNC train has a banner saying, "Out of Bush's quagmire in Iraq!"
