MURTHA CAMPAIGN STILL DISSEMBLING
Monday, August 07, 2006
Shoot-from-the-lip Congressman's campaign now picks up where he left off
(MONONGAHELA, August 7) -- Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey -- responding to yet another misleading statement from Jack Murtha's campaign -- today released the following statement:
"First it was Jack Murtha who was making misstatements of fact. Now it's his campaign. When will Jack Murtha and the people around him stop spreading falsehoods, and start telling the truth?
"Today his campaign posted a press release to its web site, claiming that I have made what it calls 'untrue attacks' against Jack Murtha.
"What, specifically, have I said about Jack Murtha that is 'untrue?'
"Jack Murtha, not I, was the one who said that U.S. Marines had 'killed innocent civilians in cold blood' before all the evidence was in.
"Jack Murtha, not I, was the one who said he got his information about the events at Haditha from Gen. Michael Hagee, the Commandant of the Marine Corps -- a claim specifically denied last week by a Marine Corps spokesman, who said Gen. Hagee didn't brief Jack Murtha until a week AFTER Mr. Murtha made his outrageous comments.
"Jack Murtha, not I, said in response to George Stephanopoulos' question about whether or not there was a 'cover-up' of the events at Haditha, 'No question about it I mean, it goes right up the chain of command. Right up to General Pace. When did he know about it? Did he order the cover-up? Who ordered the cover-up?' -- a claim specifically refuted in the Bargewell Report, which says there was NO deliberate cover-up, according to The Los Angeles Times and various other media outlets that have reported on its contents.
"When Harry Truman ran for President in 1948, supporters would shout 'Give 'em hell, Harry!' and his response was 'I don't give 'em hell. I just give 'em the truth, and they THINK it's hell!' Now I know how Harry Truman felt.
"There are 92 days left in this campaign. The good news is, that's plenty of time to make sure the voters of the 12th District know just who Jack Murtha really is."

Steal away! I was working on a picture of Murtha as a flying monkey from the Wizard of Oz but this was easier!

Best one-liner of the day:"Murtha was for it before he was against it before he was for it" Diana Irey campaign
BootMurtha.com would like to add:
Murtha was also for immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq (his Nov. 17, 2005 Resolution) before he was against the immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq (Murtha then 180'd and voted against his own Resolution) before he was for the immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq. (see Jan 2006 Code Pink award acceptance photo on right.)

Retire Murtha from Congress. Then he can move to Gay Frisco to become the mayor or the strolling poet of Gay Frisco.
Great job! ;*)
Bump for one-liner.
Happy birthday!
Best wishes for a wonderful birthday! Health and happiness to you in the coming year!
