WHY DOESN'T JACK WANT TO DEBATE? REASON NUMBER 21: HE DOESN'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW HE'S VOTED HIMSELF 12 CONSECUTIVE PAY RAISES
Monday, October 16, 2006
(MONONGAHELA, October 16) -- Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey -- responding to Jack Murtha's refusal to meet with her to debate the issues -- today released this statement:
"Why is Jack Murtha scared to debate me? Two leading newspapers in our district -- the Washington Observer-Reporter, and Jack Murtha's own hometown newspaper, the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat -- have now urged him to debate. Several TV stations have offered to air the debate, so that the public can tune in for themselves and see the contrasting visions we have. And the League of Women Voters has offered to sponsor and set up the debate.
"Yet Jack Murtha refuses. His official response was, 'My record's out there for everyone to see … I've done it the same way all the time.'
"Of course, Jack Murtha is counting on the fact that everyone in the district thinks he's the same old Jack Murtha they always knew. But we know otherwise. As I've pointed out before, if you think the Jack Murtha of 2006 is the same Jack Murtha you've been supporting for the last three decades, you don't know Jack -- and for proof, you can visit YouDontKnowJack.org to read up on the Jack Murtha you never knew.
"As I said last week, the only reasonable conclusion one can reach is that Jack Murtha is flat-out scared to debate me. He knows I will hold him accountable for his record, and for his behavior as our Congressman. And he knows that debating me would be a sure-fire loser for his campaign.
"But just because Jack Murtha is scared to debate me doesn't mean the voters of the 12th District should be denied the information they would have received had Jack Murtha been willing to meet to discuss the issues. So today, and for the remaining days of this campaign, I will offer one reason per day why Jack Murtha is scared to debate me. There are 21 days left to campaign, so I will offer 21 reasons.
"Reason #21 that Jack Murtha is scared to debate me: he doesn't want anyone to know that HE HAS VOTED HIMSELF TWELVE CONSECUTIVE PAY RAISES."

Man, that's a bummer.
It's your land, tell them to shove it.
So tomorrow is a SPECIAL DAY. Anyone know why? (If not, I'll be GLAD to tell you!)
Yeh!!....Jurk Murtha will be on Face the Nation but; not DIANA IREY.....
It'll be 25 hours long.
Nope. That's not the reason. Guess again.
Anecdotally, if it make you feel any better, Baghdad Jim McDermott has had his ass here in Seattle for the last two weeks.
They're worried - you just won't read about it.
Di or Die!
Yes! And that gives us one more hour with which to annoy Zaleno Sito when she posts her column tomorrow! (Hot diggity!)
And it also gives us one more hour in which to ensure the defeat of the ogre, John Murtha (hissssssss!!!!!!), and to ensure that Diana Irey (thunderous applause!!!!!!) goes to Washington, D.C.!
So, remember folks: It's Spring ahead, and Fall back!
:-)
Naw, it was when Alexis Arguello KO'ed Boom Boom Mancini.
Definitely before the world went all wrong.
You probably believe in Unearned Income tax refunds and get mad when you don't receive any tax refund because you have not payed any taxes...........Did I say that right?....
Good night. See you all in the AM.
G'night, Gitmo. Looking forward to the pictures tonorrow!
G'Night All! Tomorrow's dawn brings us closer to Victory!
It's now up over 230 posts!
To get your creative juices going, here's a little commercial jingle with lyrics by the inimitable Doug from Upland (take a bow, Doug!).
It's sung to the tune of 500 Miles Away from Home. You can hear it on this midi file and use it as acommpaniment.
Lyrics by Doug from Upland
Had John Murtha cut a deal for 50 grand?
FBI had shot the tape...
There's a role he can't escape
Don't be shy, John,
Tell the story of 50 grand.
It's 50 grand...
It's called Abscam...
Had that been part of Murtha's plan?
Don't be shy, John,
Tell the story of 50 grand.
So how about somebody putting visuals to that and getting it on the web?
G'night, smooth! G'night, jaz! G'night, Justa! I'm having just too much fun! See you tomorrow!
