Last ping for the evening. Nice job, Mrs. Irey. Keep the pressure on!
[I believe Ms. Irey said it best a month ago, "SHAME ON YOU JACK MURTHA"]
I totally agree and it's great that she's not letting him off the hook. She demanded that he apologize to the American people for his despicable comments then and she is demanding it now.
Support Ms. Irey and help her retire Murtha.

Diana Irey said it very well. I sincerely hope she is elected to Congress.
Murtha's Anti-War Role Could Imperil Him at Home
by Robert Novak (from Human Events on Line)
Posted Jun 28, 2006
Rep. John Murtha (D.-Pa.) appears to be suffering "Daschle-itis," a figurative disease which makes entrenched incumbents become national celebrities and, in the process, risk alienating the voters that put them in office.
Since seizing his party's anti-war mantle, Murtha has become a great draw for Democratic fundraisers, helping his party boost its prospects for a congressional takeover. Naturally, this helps his party-leadership bid as well.
But at the same time, his outspokenness made him a huge target for the Internet right. His district went for John Kerry with only 51% in 2004. What originally seemed like a long-shot bid by Diana Irey (R.) to unseat Murtha has taken on new credibility as she raises money from the Internet and as Murtha makes more and more outrageous statements.
Murtha's opposition to the war has never been the real issue. His assertion that the U.S. is the greatest danger to world peace is only the most recent and perhaps most striking example of his potentially dangerous venture into the great left. Even more offensive were his statements condemning Marines who allegedly participated in a massacre in Iraq, which gave no regard to the presumption of innocence or the existence of evidence (the Marines involved maintain their innocence).
In fact, by stating that he had high-level confirmation that a massacre occurred, Murtha may have set a trap for himself. As the court martial begins, he is likely to be subpoenaed in the pre-trial hearings to testify to allegations of inappropriate command influence on the trial. He risks having his high-level sources of information exposed, or exposed as flimsy -- or even non-existent.
Irey, who looks quite young, is a bit green, but her handlers see her as great raw material. She has scored a series of unopposed television appearances on Fox News that have helped her raise money, and her message could resonate in what has always been a conservative Democratic district. Murtha was previously known as a pro-life, pro-gun Democrat. He received biennial votes for speaker from Rep. Gene Taylor (D-Miss.), who, until this year, had refused to support any candidate for the position who was pro-choice on abortion. Leaning Democratic Retention.

Well, it looks to me like someone ought to find her an NCO sword. She's got more Marine in her little finger in a few good months than he does in his whole body after all these years.

I believe this is one of his quotes:
Rep. John Murtha (D-Penn) suggested that our troops now in Iraq be redeployed to Okinawa. "We can take Okinawa," said Murtha. "We did it in 1945. We should build on this earlier success and do it again. Add, since the Japanese are currently at peace with us, we'd have the element of surprise totally in our favor. From there we'd be in great position to fly bombers to hit Japan itself."

Too bad that Murtha is NOT Samuri.....the fat ass EX-MARINE TRAITOR would be honor-bound to disembowl himself.
From one former MARINE to Murtha: FU*K YOU, MAGGOT! And FU*K the JACKASS that you rode in on.
Dead man walking, big time...
Murtha's an idiot.
