City preparing for rallies: Murtha fans, foes gathering (Here we go!)

Is it just me, or are Jack and his lackeys just getting a tad nervous?

If this is anything but a prop up the old fool stunt, somebody tell me why Murtha and his toadies would even bother with having a rally for him in Johnstown.

I thought he owned that town.

I mean, come on, you know?

PING A LING!!!!****

I'm here in Johnstown, got in last evening and did a recon of the downtown area. I was surprised, besides a few "John P. Murtha memorial.... blah blah blah buildings", there are not that many Elect Murtha signs out. They had all the red white and blue bunting being put out in the park for the "pro-murtha" rally. The most ridiculous thing I saw was a big banner stretched across above the street that read something like: "John Murtha Supports the Troops and all Veterans" CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE GUTS TO LIE THAT MUCH?? Boy, I wish I would have done my "CUT & RUN" BANNER, I thought of it too late.

Bump and Elect Diana Irey --- Donate Today!

If it wasn't suspended in the air, I'd politely and reverently request a picture of ya'll pretending it had Fonda Urinal Targets plastered on it.

Godspeed! and God Bless you all.

Simple test for the residents of this district:

Which one does murtha support:

Word today from Johnstown is Murtha's goons are running phone banks to get people to attend. So they're gonna have a good turnout.

Whether we will for Boot Murtha on Sunday remains to be seen. I'm hopeful given Quinn & Rose's support and involvement.

I'm decidedly pessimistic given the pathetic amount of interest shown on FR.

Good. It looks like southwest PA and Johnstown will be rained on all day. I hope Wes Clark, Bob Kerrey and Max Cleland look like wet chihuahuas after all is said and done.

Reminder: Tomorrow's rally is indoors, so rain won't matter.

Your pessimism sounds correct for some FReepers, but this is NOT a totally FReeper moment.

You have 12th District residents, Vets4Irey and a dash of FReepers. Sounds like a good "American stew" to me.

Besides, if Murtha "isn't" concerned about Diana, then why the phone banks and big guns? I believe that he knows the meaning of "isn't" is.

You all have him on the run.

Some? Try "vast majority."

My post up above distinctly identifies that this isn't just about Free Republic, which is why I still hold out hope.

Right, it is raining right now, lightly, but raining still and expected to continue. I saw that Irey is having a press conf at her Johnstown office within the hour. It is about the newly released Abscam tapes. I'll slip around the corner to see this, but I have to find an unbrella!!

[W04Man]

Hey coop, I'm here, when you coming?

[Coop]

I'm getting to the arena late tomorrow morning to help in setting up (or whatever else Larry needs).

PING!

Weekend of the Rally's.

I stopped by the Flight 93 Memorial this morning, and I'ver been in Johnstown since about 11:00
I did a drive by down by Central Park about 12:00.
I saw maybe 500 people, and it's raining..
W04 see you tonite at the social?

[concretebob]

Do they need some help today?
I need to stay busy.

[concretebob]

There are WAY to many pretty women in this town.
This ain't natural..

Talked to my BIL this morning. He is heading out to Johnstown tomorrow morning early. He is picking up Diana Irey's father and they are riding together. My BIL told me to come with them,but unfortunately I am unable to attend tomorrows rally.

[justiceseeker93]

Did you guys notice that newspaper article did not mention the name Diana Irey once?!

I think it indicates which side of the fence they are on.

Then again, what would you expect?

GO IREY!!!
