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.

I am encouraged by this good-looking lady's campaign. She seems to have the background and enough name rec to get started. Let's make it a race with a big national fundraising drive.

I notice you disappeared rather quickly, except perhaps for a FReepmail or two. Care to elaborate on your rumor campaign?

I also notice you don't post here much, but back a few months ago you did manage to post a few swipes at Lynn Swann's campaign. Curious.

Since you live out Pittsburgh way, perhaps you should sign up for the Irey/Murtha ping list, hmmm?

HE WONT.

She has already informally asked, she will most certainly formally ask him to debate in the coming months.

Well, I really would like to see Murtha debate a Veteran also. Let them talk about how a Real Vet should act.

We already had a hint of that when Murtha was dressed down by the returned Iraqi war vet. He's lucky he didn't wet his pants. :-)

Don't they wish. While Murtha's skeletons fill up a barn.
