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."

I fear it will be the usual -- separate --- but MAYBE they'll sit them both at the round table. Like you said, fingers crossed.

There are many more factors to consider in any campaign than most people bother with. In this race, Mrs. Irey always had a chance... I could not agree with you more! I would like to thank you for the great job you have been doing at making those factors public and for joining us here at FR.
You may enjoy reading this, if you haven't already.

Something's been on my mind and I thought maybe we could kick it around. The daily "Reason" posts are bringing many facts about Murtha
(hiss!) to light. His support of gay marriage, illegal immigrants, etc.
Here's my question: Is Irey picking up support from social conservatives? Pro-life groups? Is there a place where I could Murtha's voting record on partial birth abortion and other hot button issues? Seems to me we got to keep hammering Murtha as a traitorous fool, but we also need to shine a big spotlight on his San Francisco values. I'll post a campaign ad idea later that'll show you what I mean.

In regards to that idea Red. Yesterday when we went to Mass at our local church, there was an insert in the church bulletin from the "Prince William and Manassas Family Alliance." This is the first time I've seen that done. It outlined candidates views, side by side, on the "family" issues like the "Marriage Ammendment" and "legislation to protect unborn from the moment of conception", etc.

As I drove here yesterday, a large message type board in front of a church in the district said:
It is your duty to vote.
Vote your values - Vote by scripture.
If not word for word...very close.

I'm not sure many have noticed that the voice on that BootMurtha AD is none other than Johnstown, PA resident and a leader in the BootMurtha effort, Army Lt Col (ret) Harry Beam. Good Job Harry!! HE AIN'T NO "OUTSIDER"!!

Ok, Oct. 13 poll showed Irey behind 57 - 30%.
I can't even find a more current poll.
I'm all for Irey, but has she moved inside 40% yet?
