Do You Know This Man?

Do you know this man?

For years, many of us throughout Pennsylvania trusted John Murtha. We knew him and he looked out for our interests and our values. But that John Murtha is missing today.

After 32 years in Washington, John Murtha has become part of the problem. To name just a few examples:

1. John Murtha – Wrong on Congressional Pay Raises. Since 1995, John Murtha has voted 11 straight time in favor of raising his own pay. (CQ #648, #317, #435, #289, #300, #419, #267, #322, #463, #451, and #327)
2. John Murtha – Wrong on Spending. John Murtha has voted multiple times to raid the social security trust fund – the key to your retirement – to pay for wasteful government spending projects.
3. John Murtha – Wrong on Health Care. John Murtha has voted to actually make your health care more expensive. He even voted against tax-free health savings accounts.
4. John Murtha – Wrong on National Defense. John Murtha actually voted to cut spending on our national security by $76 billion. Then, he voted in favor of instituting the draft! And, perhaps most stunning of all, John Murtha spoke out against the brave men and women who are defending our freedom by calling for an immediate withdrawl of our troops from Iraq.

I checked on her:

Diana L. Irey
Washington County Commissioner

Diana Irey, elected in 1996, is the only woman ever to be elected as a Washington County commissioner. She is now in her tenth year of public service.

Diana has held a number of positions helping to steer the Washington County area toward increased economic growth. She served on the board of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission; co-chaired its Committee to Develop the Former Alcoa building into a regional renaissance tower, served on the boards of the Southwestern Pennsylvania Growth Alliance and Pittsburgh Regional Alliance executive board and co-chaired their business attraction committee.

Appointed by Governor Tom Ridge, Diana served on the Port of Pittsburgh Commission. And she is past president of the Mon Valley United Way.

For these and other endeavors, she was named one of the top “60 Pittsburghers of the year” by Pittsburgh Magazine in December 1999 and was honored to be chosen as the 1998 spring distinguished ethics speaker for the Beard Center for Leadership in Ethics at Duquesne University.

Commissioner Irey lives in Carroll Township with her husband Bob and their three children; Victoria (16), Frank (15) and Alexandra (12).

I only know him as a traitorous kook.

[sit-rep]

Washed up, burnt out, old military traitor, has been... The guy needs to be put out to pasture. Basically, and I'll use a term he/his generation will be familiar with... Piss ant!! (no offense to FR's pissant...)

[Coop]

There's a mention on her website that she's had IIRC seven consecutive budgets without a tax increase. If I got the facts right, that's impressive.

[jazusamo]

Already done but I'll spread the word as much as I can on FR. I live on the wrong side of the country to go door to door.

If any Dem Congressman deserves to be unseated, It's Murtha. He's a disgrace to our military and our country.

[manwiththehands]

Murtha is a senile old hack, a traitor and an ex-marine.

[onyx]

Her website is impressive. Looks to me, like she's a GOOD challenger!

Don't sell yourself short. I drove up to NY from VA to work for Lazio for a day. (Okay, really I was working against Hillary Clinton!)

[smoothsailing]

"Withdrawal right now would be devastating to the United States of America. We have to stand for our beliefs, we have to be committed to winning this war on terror. Anything short of that will cause America great harm."

[winner3000]

Could you imagine what a morale boost it would be for our military if we defeat Murtha in November! They're risking their lives for us. The least we can do is to try to defeat the guy who is stabbing them in the back.

[bert]

that man is the tratiorous john murtha who has a constituency of pacifist morons.

[msnimje]

Vote against the candidate exhibiting signs of dementia!!

[demkicker]

Thanks, Coop. This is great and I'll pray that Diana Irey soundly defeats Murtha. He is such a disgrace.

Oh, and if I win the lottery, I'll swamp her with ca$h, too!

[DoughtyOne]

I don't think Murtha has any idea what a propaganda coup he has handed Al Zarqowi and Osama Bin Laden. I wish his family would urge him to step down. Better that than to continue to disgrace the nation he once served with honor.

[HP8753]

I'll use a term he/his generation will be familiar with...

I'll use one too......How About Turncoat!!

[Coop]

Oh, and if I win the lottery, I'll swamp her with ca$h, too!

Ditto! But even if you, me and many others send $10, $25 or whatever, it at least lets her know how many of us nationwide are supporting her.

[Clintonfatigued]

John Murtha has changed over the years. He has gotten caught up in the extreme partisanship of his caucus and forgotten where he came from. It's time for a change.

Diana Irey would make an awesome Congresswoman.
