LIVE THREAD - Diana Irey (Murtha's opponent) appears on Fox News at 12:45 EDT today

Irey for Congress ^ | 6/19/06 | Irey press release/E-mail

[Mrs. Ranger]

"encouraged by going door to door recently"

In Johnstown!

"and appearing in a parade,"

in Windber!

This is *supposedly* the Murtha stronghold area in the 12th.


"both of which had constituents agreeing with her that Murtha has crossed the line."


And that's in the "old 12th". The new 12th consists of many areas in which Murtha has no "history". If he thinks it's gonna be another cakewalk this time, he's sorely mistaken.

Cool. Esp since I have no cable, I admire the Freepers who do the caps!! It adds a lot to the site!!

[Coop]

Good stuff to know, thanks!

[4yearlurker]

Thanks! Now that you mention it you can picture Murtha's face next to the dictionary definition.

[W04Man]

Noted that Hemmer botched the District. He said 9th District, the correct one is the 12th District. Also, he said she said he was not a Patriot. NOT TRUE, she said that his "words were not that of a Patriot." Meaning he was not speaking like a Patriot.

Which election are you in?

I'm not in PA. Never been in PA. Have not future plans to be there.

I was just stating my perception of her appearance.

In politics, remember: perception is reality.

[Txsleuth]

I saw her appearance...it was great....LOVE how she mentioned that she is even getting donations from the military in IRAQ...LOL, and managed to get her website mentioned.

BTW...Rush has just mentioned that she is a "BABE"..

[SE Mom]

WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!

Rush just said he WATCHED Diana Irey on FOX...read her close-captioned while he was doing his show- then quoted some of her statements!!!

[4yearlurker]

Come to think of it, I have NEVER seen Murtha answer any direct questions. Only setup softball questions. All I have ever seen on the local news is his big mouth spouting off.

[Sisku Hanne]

perception is relative.

[Sisku Hanne]

Cool!!!!! Thanks!

[W04Man]

Great, I've been working on some video, had to shut Rush off. We need to get him to mention Vets4Irey.com next.

[don-o]

It's her 1st national interview.

Helluva job. listening. $$ of course will be the key to ousting Ears Murtha. The Pubbies better get busy on this.

[W04Man]

Great. He's been getting emails too. :-)

[Coop]

Rush just said he WATCHED Diana Irey on FOX...read her close-captioned while he was doing his show- then quoted some of her statements!!!

That's outstanding news! Not only did Ms. Irey get on TV, but Rush just put her name out to, oh, a few dozen conservative radio listeners. [grin]

[Coop]

Ping, in case you missed the thread.

[jazusamo]

This is the exact kind of exposure she needs. I think we should organize an email campaign to TV and Radio people, maybe it'll help to get her more spots like today.

..just posted the vets4irey.com on our Rush thread...

[Mrs. Ranger]

""Does anyone know if there have been any polls taken about this race?""
"Anyone know about this?"

For the umteenth time :) There are no polls. It's waaayyyy too early for that sort of thing around here and even in the fall there aren't likely to be any, especially if it looks like Murtha might lose. (You either get my drift or you don't ;)

"Any Freepers from Pennsylvania who can tell us what Irey's chances are?"

Thanks to "Murtha's mouth" and "Murtha's folly" ($400,000 taxpayer funded "arch" in an area that desperately needs jobs instead) Irey's chances are much better than many pundits would have us think.

So far, Murtha's "strategy" seems to be to pretend she doesn't exist. Keep it up John. :)


"This race is just one of many reasons why Republicans can NOT sit out this November, no matter how disappointed we are."

This race *IS* the reason I'll be voting after all this year, no thanks to the state GOP. The new "head" of the state party is from Johnstown and has already said that "the party" is *only* going to focus on the Govenor and Senate races. It's up to us in the "grass-roots" to elect Irey.
