WHY DOESN'T JACK WANT TO DEBATE? REASON NUMBER 21: HE DOESN'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW HE'S VOTED HIMSELF 12 CONSECUTIVE PAY RAISES
Monday, October 16, 2006
(MONONGAHELA, October 16) -- Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey -- responding to Jack Murtha's refusal to meet with her to debate the issues -- today released this statement:
"Why is Jack Murtha scared to debate me? Two leading newspapers in our district -- the Washington Observer-Reporter, and Jack Murtha's own hometown newspaper, the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat -- have now urged him to debate. Several TV stations have offered to air the debate, so that the public can tune in for themselves and see the contrasting visions we have. And the League of Women Voters has offered to sponsor and set up the debate.
"Yet Jack Murtha refuses. His official response was, 'My record's out there for everyone to see … I've done it the same way all the time.'
"Of course, Jack Murtha is counting on the fact that everyone in the district thinks he's the same old Jack Murtha they always knew. But we know otherwise. As I've pointed out before, if you think the Jack Murtha of 2006 is the same Jack Murtha you've been supporting for the last three decades, you don't know Jack -- and for proof, you can visit YouDontKnowJack.org to read up on the Jack Murtha you never knew.
"As I said last week, the only reasonable conclusion one can reach is that Jack Murtha is flat-out scared to debate me. He knows I will hold him accountable for his record, and for his behavior as our Congressman. And he knows that debating me would be a sure-fire loser for his campaign.
"But just because Jack Murtha is scared to debate me doesn't mean the voters of the 12th District should be denied the information they would have received had Jack Murtha been willing to meet to discuss the issues. So today, and for the remaining days of this campaign, I will offer one reason per day why Jack Murtha is scared to debate me. There are 21 days left to campaign, so I will offer 21 reasons.
"Reason #21 that Jack Murtha is scared to debate me: he doesn't want anyone to know that HE HAS VOTED HIMSELF TWELVE CONSECUTIVE PAY RAISES."

BIG BUMP
Thank you for supporting Diana Irey, damper99. Polls (spit) or not, I believe she has a genuine shot at unseating him. Murtha has upset a lot of people in his district.
I hope she is successful. She's the first out of state candidate I ever sent money for their campaign.
Got my V-Force sticker yesterday. While having it on display doesn't help Diana in the PA 12, the "No Cut and Run" is patriotic, and looks really cool on my convertible.
As am I. You may have read this already because it's been posted several times on different threads.
Diana Irey has received contributions from all 50 states and from active military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I doubt if there's many candidates that can state that.
Not a complete whiff. More like a pissy weak grounder to third!
Our story thus far...
A princess warrior, short of stature but great in spirit, stands in defense of her country against a crazed and evil ogre.
Will no one stand beside her?
Today's episode begins as the ogre, known near and far as Congressman John Murtha (hiss!), snuffles about in his smelly lair deep in the bowels of Congress.
Ready? Have the images loaded? Good. Then we'll begin.
HAHA! Yeah, I figured I was taking a chance putting words in your mouth! (You and freema.) But I figured you could imagine your actual reply was deleted by the Moderator!
LOL..Yep he certainly is.
We missed you and Justa today, hope her trip turned out OK.
HA!
But I'll let her tell you all about it in the next installment of the IREY DIARY! :-)
Thanks Smooth for letting me know and now I'm in the dog house, I forgot to ping her. :-)
Yeah, I figured a squadron of bomber kitties was about as much violence toward Murtha as I could get away with! (You ought to see the versions I deleted!)
I'd suggest a tight V, but that's just my military mind talking.
What we actually are witnessing, is a multi-directional approach.
Murtha is being swarmed, and he doesn't know which way to swat.
