Win or lose, part of the objective is to make the RATS spend money defending this district and also to keep Murtha at home instead of barnstorming the country for a Democratic House.

There's always gotta be some keyboard critic proclaiming superiority, throwing random darts from his/her living room.
But I understand why you feel the need to wade on here proclaiming she'll lose, Tz. That way you can rationalize your laziness and unwillingness to help elect conservative candidates and take an important stand for our armed forces. If you admitted Ms. Irey had a chance to win, which she indeed does, then your lard butt might have a guilty conscience for your lack of action and death grip on your wallet. Well, unfortunately your adolescent jabs are quite transparent. And I'll happily respond in kind.
But not to worry. There are plenty of us around here doing the work of many like you. We'll pick up your slack, as we always do. Whether it's FReeping at events, mailing care packages, supporting FR via FReepathons, distributing E-mails, volunteering at campaign HQ, actively working to elect conservatives, etc.
Stop by for another visit any time. At least you can say you bumped a thread for Irey.

True hopefully they'll spend tons defending this seat. Worst case scenario is Irey gets lots of face time before the voters. Murtha's no spring chicken ya know.

Then how about sending a dollar for every year you lived in the district to Ms. Irey's campaign? It's a lot easier than attempting to undermine her chances.

Except this isn't a classic Republican versus Democrat kinda race. Democrats in that area are pro-lifers. Therefore both candidates are pro-lifers and social conservative types. That leaves the real issues being national security and welfare-state programs. I suspect Murtha is seen as being good enough for the lesser issue of national security and perfect for the the number one issue in the area, welfare-state programs. He's a proven pro-life socialist. IMO that's all he needs to be.You're a bit behind the curve on this race, but at least you're making an effort at discourse. If Kerry pulled only 51%, then a lot of folks pulled the lever for President Bush and Jackass Murtha. And yet you think these same folks are just gonna be thrilled that socialist (in your terms) Murtha is now selling out our troops, proclaiming they're guilty of cold-blooded murder and the like? Suffice it to say I disagree.
If Ms. Irey had no chance, there's no way she could have raised $300,000 from a grass-roots effort. Is she an underdog? Sure. But she's definitely one worth supporting.

Thank you for the compliment, jazusamo. I appreciate it more than you know. It's even nicer coming from a Washingtonian.

Don't worry. There'll be plenty of sarcasm to look forward too.

"Visualizing" victory won't make it happen. You may not have noticed but this is a discussion board made up almost entirely of people who back Irey over Murtha (as do I). It's not out of line to express opinions about the reality of the situation as we see it. Nothing said on this thread can possibly undermine her chances so knock off the hyperbole.
However your idea of sending a dollar for year amount to her campaign is a good one. I send money to candidates and so get lots of junk mail and meet and great invitations for political candidates. I'll look to dig her mail out of the pile.

I'll express my opinion of your jaded opinion whenever and wherever I wish. Kinda sucks how freedom of speech works both ways, doesn't it? I hate it when I have to back up things I say!

"Visualizing" victory won't make it happen. In other words, we're dreaming. Right?
You two are chattering at the wrong folks.
A Dozen Reasons why Commissioner Irey Can Defeat Rep. John Murtha
- John Kerry only managed to get 51% of the 12th district's vote in 2004, and Jack Murtha cannot realistically be expected to match that very high Presidential voter turnout.
- Diana Irey has 10 years of experience as Washington County's Commissioner, including seven consecutive balanced budgets without a tax increase.
- Veterans are incredibly upset with her dishonorable opponent, Mr. Murtha, and they are organizing to call attention to his despicable behavior. Two examples:
>>>> www.vets4irey.com
>>>> www.bootmurtha.com - Commissioner Irey understands that Okinawa is not located in or near the Persian Gulf.
- Pennsylvania has already exhibited an anti-incumbent trend this year.
- While Jack Murtha does not, Ms. Irey, Pennsylvanians and Americans in general still strongly believe in the presumption of innocence - especially when it comes to freedom's defenders during wartime
- When Jack Murtha first joined Congress, American had not yet celebrated its bicentennial. Diana Irey is relatively young and attractive, while Jack Murtha is... not.
- Diana Irey is articulate, while Jack Murtha is a tightly wound, stuttering idiot.
- Mr. Murtha's brother - Kit - is a Washington lobbyist who in 2004 landed about $20 million for his defense contractor clients. Coincidentally (??), Jack Murtha has been the top recipient of defense industry dollars for the past three years. Source
- Rep. Jack Murtha is an unindicted co-conspirator from the Abscam scandal; Commissioner Irey is not.
- Diana Irey will be a member of the ruling majority party; Jack Murtha is twelve years removed from that position.

Wow I am so proud of Westmorland County. As well you should be! Perhaps you could arrange to obtain some flyers, fact sheets etc. from the campaign office to share with your family members. ;*)

You should read a thread before you post.
First I didn't say Irey didn't have a chance. I said I think she's going to lose and that's based on living in the district for so long. I think Murtha's selling out the troops can be spun away in that district. As long as people see it as criticism of Iraq policy and not a broad anti-military stance. I have to admit even if they think he's anti-military that pales in comparison the welfare-state issue. The only place I've ever lived that had as many people looking to the government to take care of them in some way was West Virginia.
Ms. Irey is an underdog because of the condition of the electorate. I'm glad she's getting a good war chest together and hopefully by some miracle she'll win this time but if not there's always next time.
