Bump & Dump Murtha!

They need to take Jack Murtha and dump im in the Sunni Triangle. Let his "friends' take care of him.

[Coop]

That ain't gonna happen. So let's concentrate on stuff we can control... like throwing his despicable derriere onto the street in November!

[RobbyS]

Well, I am going to contribute. The RNC keeps bugging me, but I will reserve my few bucks for Irey's campaign.

Good piece by Hoffman. He nailed it when he alluded to the death of Zarq taking a lot of wind out of Murtha's sails on his hair brained Iraq redeployment.

As more of the Marine's side of the story comes out, I think he get a lot quieter on his assassination of them too.

I think Irey can beat this dirtball.

[Coop]

Good. Thanks for the support.

[Coop]

I think Irey can beat this dirtball.

So do I. She doesn't need to match Murtha's fundraising, but she does need enough $$$ to get her message out.

[pissant]

She needs to do TONS of doorbelling too. I hope she has comfortable shoes.

There was an interesting admission by the NY Times today in an article you posted earlier. The article was crap but did say, "Marines and their lawyers...are only now beginning to speak out after months of harsh portrayals of their actions."

I hope Murtha is directly challenged by one of the Marine lawyers on a news show. It'd be the best way to defend our brave Marines and puncture that windbag.

Your thread is at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1651201/posts

[pissant]

Yes it did. But despite the admission, the Times felt very comfortable framing these guys. Grrrrr.

[RedRover]

Of course, I would have prefered the Times to say, "Marines and their lawyers...are only now beginning to speak out after months of harsh, politically-motivated, and treasonous gabberings by a buffoon whose previous misjudgements helped bring about 9-11.

[Valin]

Murtha also lays out his own strategies

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is a strategy?

[Valin]

Unfortunately that requires money. Which is where you and I come in. 10,000 people sending $10.00...I'm not a math guy but I bet that would be enough to bury a certain incumbent.

[Tennessean4Bush]

That would be $100,000. Not nearly enough to bury an incumbent. But 2,000 people sending $200 would be $400,000, which is not enough to bury but gives her a fighting chance.

[Coop]

She needs to do TONS of doorbelling too. I hope she has comfortable shoes.

She was out doing that today, from what I heard. :-)

[Coop]

Who knows what the exact amount should be? But keep in mind this particular incumbent has been kind enough to grab a shovel and start the hole himself. We just need to help Diana raise enough for several more shovels, a classy headstone (politically speaking, of course), and a nice bouquet of flowers. Not that the EX-Marine deserves 'em, but it would be a nice touch.

I just read the entire column and it is FANTASTIC! Please read it, it is a must read for everyone.
