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.

Update to this list.

• Diana Irey raised $230,000 last quarter, most of it in the last several weeks.
• Boot Murtha has raised almost enough money to mail each veteran in PA's 12th district
• Vets4Irey now has over 1,000 veterans signed up on its roll call supporting Ms. Irey and standing against Johhny Murtha

Wow. Too many smart people here who can look up your past posts.

Fortunately, I'm innocent, I tell you, innocent.

Curiously, I never heard back from our gossiping friend.

#13 - Irey is a whole lot easier on the eyes than Murtha...a bigtime whole lot.

[Coop]

That's already on the list.

They always come back with "The Dems are for the little guy."crap.

I hear the same thing, however, the hair of those saying it keeps getting grayer every year. I don't hear it from the younger voters as much.........

This is why I become very frustrated with many talking heads on our side who spend 99% of their time bashing their own side and pointing out the 1-2 differences and hot buttons that tear us apart instead of the 99-100 things that bring us together.

Just check out the PA Forums here on Free Republic and you will find a whole slew of anti-Santorum, anti-Swann "pure conservatives" running around.

It's only a handful, but they're just loud and persistent! :-)

I am still baffled as to why there have been no independent polls in this race!
