IREY: DOES MURTHA AGREE WITH KERRY'S INSULT TO AMERICA'S TROOPS? OR WILL HE DEMAND KERRY APOLOGIZE?
Tuesday, October 31, 2006
(MONONGAHELA, October 31) -- Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey -- responding to remarks by U.S. Senator John Kerry (the most recent presidential nominee of the political party to which Jack Murtha owes his allegiance), who yesterday declared before a gathering of students that, "You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. And if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq" -- today released this statement:
"Will Jack Murtha stand with the men and women of the American military and TODAY demand an apology on their behalf from his good friend Senator John Kerry? Or will Jack Murtha continue his cut-and-run campaign and refuse to take a stand on this matter of honor and respect?
"Senator Kerry's comments suggesting that only the less-educated and less-smart 'end up in Iraq' are insulting in the extreme to every man and woman who has worn our nation's colors in Iraq -- and, frankly, they are insulting in the extreme to every man and woman who has EVER worn our nation's colors, period.
"Insulting, yes. Surprising, no. Given the records of men like John Kerry and Jack Murtha -- both of whom claim that their prior records of military service give them license to say whatever they wish about the men and women now serving in our armed forces -- it's not surprising at all that John Kerry would insult our armed forces.
"Jack Murtha, after all, declared in May that U.S. Marines in Haditha had 'killed innocent civilians in cold blood' before the first Marine was charged, before the first court-martial was convened, before the first Marine was convicted.
"And Jack Murtha said last year that 'the military is broken,' and said he would not join today's military.
"Today's question for voters in Pennsylvania's 12th Congressional District is simple -- what will we learn today about Jack Murtha? Will he stand up for the men and women of our armed forces by demanding that his good friend John Kerry withdraw his offensive statement and apologize? Or will Jack Murtha continue to turn his back on his constituents, and continue to curry favor with the ultraliberals who now run the national Democratic Party?
"The choice is up to Jack, and that choice comes today. VOTERS here in southwestern Pennsylvania, on the other hand, will get to make THEIR choice one week from today."

Kerry got it all wrong.
He forgot the path he took to 'success', being a gigolo to rich women.
She's quick. Inquiring minds wanna know
Ping!
"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the – of – the historical customs, religious customs," Kerry said...
Sounds like the two came from the same mold. One defames our brave military by implying they're uneducated and the other says he wouldn't join todays military. Murtha also advised young people not to enlist in todays military.
They are both despicable. My money says Murtha won't call on him to apologize and Kerry won't apologize.
This doddering old fubar needs to be retired. He hates our military now. He forfeited his hero status when he betrayed our troops. He can snuggle up to Kerry now and make funny about our troops and know that the MSM will not call them on it.
TRAITORS
Yeah lets put together I nice little ad combining all the clips... this recent one, that clip, lets throw in the "pol pot" clips, remind people just who these libs are.
Thanks..kudos to the campaign staff..
FYI.....
This is great! Kerry delivers a big last-minute boost for Irey!
Presser coming up. Francois is in up to his neck, but is too stupid to just apologize to a press more than happy to cover his catbox.
Let me explain. McCain served IN North Vietnam (as pow), Kerry served FOR North Vietnam. Semper Fi, GO DIANA...
Jack is a Quisling but he will win unfortunately since Dems are really the ones who vote zombie like.
Echoes of Bill Maher.

Two points on the John Kerry slam on our troops. When the Harry Reid land sale scandal broke, I wrote that the 527 Media would bury the story, and they did. This time, neither the NYT nor the networks will be able to contain the fire Kerry started and continues to stoke.
Kerry's remarks began as just icing atop the Democrats' contempt for the military. It's a subset of Jack Murtha's remarks about how the army is broken, how our troops are disgruntled and why we have to bring everybody out of Iraq to rebuild the force before it falls apart all together. Question for Messrs. Tester, Brown, Menendez, Webb, Ford and Ms. McCaskill: do you agree with John Kerry's remarks?
Sen. John McCain didn't agree and demanded - in pretty strong language -- that Kerry apologize. Which came out about the time Kerry was saying that only right wing nuts who've never worn the uniform or fought in a war were decrying what he said.
Kerry just made it much worse. He just held a news conference on it and insisted that his sneering remarks at Pepperdine University were aimed at the president, not at the troops. Look again at the film clip and judge for yourself. At the press conference, Kerry's words got more and more heated as he went on. He's still accusing Republicans of twisting his words, refusing to debate and failing in Iraq. His rather risible explanation for his remarks was that when he talked about those who didn't do well in school, he was talking about the Bush administration. At this rate, Republicans should hope Kerry keeps talking all throughout the week and until the polls close on Tuesday.
