IREY ADVISORY: DIANA IREY TO CALL FOR FEDERAL INVESTIGATION INTO MURTHA FUNDRAISING PRACTICES

Tuesday, September 26, 2006

(PITTSBURGH, September 26) -- Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey -- the woman standing up to U.S. Rep. Jack Murtha -- will hold a press availability today, Tuesday, September 26, on the sidewalk outside the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, at 700 Grant Street, in Pittsburgh, at 11 AM.

Irey will release a letter she is delivering today to U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan requesting an investigation into Rep. Murtha's fundraising activities.

Based on news reports, lobbying disclosure reports, Federal Election Commission Records, and a study released last week by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, there is reason to believe Rep. Murtha may have violated federal law.

WHO: PA-12 nominee Diana Irey

WHAT: Press availability

WHERE: Sidewalk in front of the office of the U.S. Attorney

700 Grant Street

Pittsburgh, PA

WHEN: 11 AM

-- 30 --

Paid for by Diana Irey for Congress

Take for instance: Kerry, Kennedy, McKinney, the little Kennedy, William Jefferson, DEMOCRAT, LA.

Good point but remember:

Kerry lost--McKinney lost--Both Kennedy's are disgraced but they have so much money and so many doofus supporters they'll never lose.

And remember: Jefferson is going to look good in stripes! :-)

I wish I lived where I could vote for Diana Irey. I support her in philosophy and funds


My friend there are plenty of good conserative candidates running all over the country, and I'm sure there are in your state, get out and support them. If we don't do it say hello to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Be nice to have one in Washington that's not an alcoholic and/or womanizer.

Yes, I've read about Mark Kennedy several times here at FR and you're right, we could use several like him here in Washington.

It appears that there are many that feel that way in your district.

Have you signed up for V-Force? It is an awesome way to help from the comfort of your own home.

"Poll questions are forbidden on Irey threads"

Not forbidden that I know of, merely tiresome to the point where they've become something of a joke.

So far as I know, no one has released any poll results. If I ever see any, I can assure you that I'll post them, no matter what they say, just to pacify the the "poll junkies".

Frankly, given how easy it is to manipulate "polls" and the fact that they're hardly reliable predictors, I'm at a loss to understand the preoccupation with them.

It's rather like constantly repeating the *fact* that my county has a 2 to 1 Democratic majority of registered voters. Doesn't change the *facts* that: Bush won here in '04; we have 2 Republican county commissioners; even Johnstown voted in a Republican mayor; the vast majority of people in this area do *not* care to be "polled" and generally refuse(to put it politely ;)to participate in them. :)

Wait a second: that's the first time I've seen a polling result in this race! Who did the poll and when?

Calm down a minute, Just a Nobody, and re-read my post. "I support her in philosophy and funds." Don't tell me what to do with my money, esp. when I have already done so. I know you and jazusamo are big Irey supporters. How? So am I, and I see your names all the time in posts about her. Do I think crooks should be let off the hook? No. It has nothing to do with that. It has to do with the impression it gave me, that's all. Now, go give Ms. Irey some money.   :-)  (Let's have a race!)

Robert Novak wrote a piece about House races. Looking closer at the table though, the number was not the margin but the district. Novak showed the race 'Likely Democratic Contention' but listed it as in play. I would guess that would mean Novak thinks it is about a 10 point race, but he did not disclose any numbers. See link

That's just the point, isn't it? In every other campaign I've followed on FR in the past six years, there have always been poll numbers shared. It doesn't matter if they're good or bad; there were always numbers to discuss.

Here? Nothing. Nobody's conducted a poll? Puh-leeze. It has become something of a joke. Ignoring negative polling data is a tactic, not an omission. It may work. I hope it does.

ROTFLOL! Okay, Pirate! I apologize for going off. It is a very touchy subject with me. Please forgive me this indiscretion.

I was greeted pounced on by angry soldiers at Walter Reed 10 days ago. Why were they angry, you ask? al-Murthawi had visited WR and one of "my" guys specifically. They were waiting to express their outrage to someone that they felt would understand and support them.

I accept your challenge. ;*)
I've got receipts for all but two of my contributions. The last one was hand delivered.

Nobody's conducted a poll?

I "heard" that the opposition has conducted more than one poll. *spit*
They have chosen NOT TO RELEASE the results.

The silence is deafening, but a good sign for our side, IMHO. ;*)
If he was up by 20-40 points, don't you think his campaign would be broadcasting that information?

Thanks for your support Pirate21. I know what you meant by the thought crossing your mind about this request by Mrs. Irey but I believe it's time someone come forward and make him accountable. He's gotten away with just about everything but murder for years. I think she has much to gain from it and little to lose, JMO.

Thanks for posting that Valin.

It looks like Jackie boy is hoping that "Smear and Fear" will take the place of "Cut and Run" in the sound bite wars.

Hah!

Cut and run is going to follow him for the rest of his days.
