Murtha's Anti-War Role Could Imperil Him at Home

Apparently the press is now going to start covering for Murtha, refusing to print what this fat senile anti-patriot utters next.

The Irey campaign had better follow this guy around with a tape recorder, the press will not be reporting any more Murtha comments that are damaging to his slim chance of reelection in November.

[gridlock]

And Jack Murtha was attending a town meeting in Florida just to talk about goings on in his district and the latest Democrat proposals on Capital Gains taxes, right?

Murtha is a one-trick pony. He is tied to the anti-war moonbat left. As soon as he stops saying outrageous things, they will turn on him in a heartbeat. Look at how vicious they are being to Hillary!

Murtha has no choice but to continue to dish out red meat to the far Left of his party. All Diana Irey has to do is point it out when he does.

[Coop]

Half the voters in his district depend upon the pork Murtha brings in.

Then I guess that means half don't. Now ask yourself, which half is angrier and more motivated to vote in November?

[Coop]

Maybe a buck or two to Irey's campaign instead? Now THAT's some meaningful dialogue!

Exactly right! Don't waste money on postage for something which goes straight in the trash. Donate to his worthy opponent. And do it in the next few days, so it's reflected on this quarter's FEC report - which is going to certainly capture some attention. [grin]

"Pork eaters are complacient." Agree.
They dumped Tom Foley as Speaker of House and little Tommy Daschle Senate leader without a second thought. Sheets Byrd was seriuosly threatened until media got heavily back on his side and they put his chops in a lock box.

It is all up to Irey (and Richard Mellon Schaife).

[Coop]

You have never been to Johnstown. 100% government contracts. It is all the town has.

You people just don't stop, do you? It's such a powerfully Dem district [yawn], that John Kerry pulled a whopping 51% in 2004. Think Murtha's gonna approach that kind of a turnout again? I don't.

[Coop]

But, then again who knows she might win but I wouldn't bet on it.

Why not blow the dust off your wallet and bet a few bucks on her chances? She's an underdog, but not by much. Bob Novak (who ain't exactly a spreader of good GOP news) didn't write this column just to play cheerleader.

[Coop]

Ping in case you haven't seen it.

Reminder: The FEC fundraising deadline is in a few days. If you've been thinking of donating but haven't yet, please do so now and make Ms. Irey's impressive haul even more impressive.

the flooding in PA that people don't want to hear about could turn into a Katrina type disaster for pols in the area.

Murtha sides up with Code Pink

Code Pink has given $650,000 to the terrorists in Fallujah, participated in war crimes tribunals against America and has called American soldiers "killers" on their website among many treasonous actions. They display signs like "Maimed for a Lie" at Walter Reed Army Medical Center where wounded troops are healing.
Text of Code Pink's statement on meeting Rep. Murtha:
Thank You Congressman Murtha! CODEPINK co-founder Gael Murphy and DC coordinator Allison Yorra met with Congressman Murtha to thank him for his courageous stand on Iraq. We presented him with our pink badge of courage and pink flowers sent by CODEPINK members nationwide.

Murtha's "Cut & Run" Comments on Iraq: "there's no progress at all" "it's worse than it was prewar" "we should immediatley redeploy" "War cannot be won on the ground" "I have said it's a civil war" "We cannot win this militarily. Our tactics themselves keep us from winning,"

Murtha's Comments on our Troops: "Would you join (the military) today?," he was asked in an interview. "No," replied Murtha "And I think you're saying the average guy out there who's considering recruitment is justified in saying 'I don't want to serve'," the interviewer continued. "Exactly right," said Murtha "we have become a catalyst for violence" in Iraq Marines "killed innocent civilians in cold blood." at Haditha "I will not excuse murder, and this is what happened" "This is worse than Abu Ghraib" "Hopefully, this is an isolated incident. But we're supposed to be selling ideas of America, ideals of America, and we're losing that war." "These kind of things have to be brought out immediately," he told "This Week," "because if the Marines got away with it, other Marines might think it's okay." "What they're saying to me is we're stretching the military too thin. The army is broken, and we couldn't deploy to a second front if we wanted to." "The troops don't know what to do. They don't have the direction they need in order to supervise the prisoners,"

But the major problem areas (to my knowledge) are on the other side of the state.

However, the Keystone State already exhibited a strong anti-incumbent sentiment earlier this year.

[trooprally]

Hey Coop, keep on plugging, you're doing great.

But you forgot a "pork" argument:

So long as the Republicans control the House & Senate, Irey is sure to get the same "pork" as Murtha. She may even be able to get more.

[Mr] T

[Coop]

I don't agree with that argument, T. Murtha definitely knows how to manipulate the system in ways a freshman rep just couldn't realistically do. But that's okay by me. Most of the folks voting for Irey aren't too keen on "pork" anyway.

[smokeyb]

Us here in SW PA have known about her and her campaign. Murtha may be in real trouble.

[Coop]

Would you like to be on the Irey/Murtha ping list?

[xpertskir]

Ill see you one better. Send him white hand towels. LMAO

"The House of Reps has absolutely noting to do with abortion. Even the Senate does only one thing related to abortion, and that is confirm S.Ct nominees."

You expect WAY WAY to much out of the average voter. As far as the average voter is concerned the house of reps appoints the vice president.

LOL

Series-ly, has not even a local biased media up there even done a poll on this race??
