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.

Her biggest problem is that there may be skeletons in the closet.

13) Because the voters (a very low percentage of the 12th District citizens) seem to be blithering idiots who do not pay attention to who represents them. As long as their deer rifles are not taken from them, they are OK with the incumbent........

They need to go for Murtha's jugular! Hit him straight on for his weak performance on the Armed Services Committeee. He engineered the gutting of the force back in 93', then wasted precious defense dollars on pork projects. He crammed items like breast cancer research into the DOD budget, but we didn't have body armor for ground forces!

Ream him!

Her biggest problem is that there may be skeletons in the closet.

And my biggest problem is that Anna Kournikova may not be able to keep her hands off of me.

Shoot an arrow straight into Murtha's lying heart...

"Because the voters (a very low percentage of the 12th District citizens) seem to be blithering idiots who do not pay attention to who represents them. As long as their deer rifles are not taken from them, they are OK with the incumbent."

How about replacing the above with "For the first time in 30 years, citizens in the 12th actually have a credible opponent for whom to vote"?
