MOVEON.ORG
seeks to pre-empt
BOOTMURTHA!

from MoveOn.org e-mail:

"John Murtha is being smeared but we saw this coming and we have a new TV ad campaign to put Republican candidates on defense early—making a win possible. We can make August a month they'll never forget.
Can you chip in $50 or more today?"...

"We've prepared a hard-hitting new TV ad about Iraq to move this fight into the congressional districts of vulnerable Republicans. But to flood the airways in these places we need to raise $500,000 this week.
Can you chip in $50 or more today?"

 

That's part of an e-mail sent out to MoveOn.org members this week.

The liberal, anti-war, anti-national defense Left knows if John Murtha is defeated in Pennsylvania they will suffer a large set-back. A set-back to their facade that "Harry Truman" and "Scoop Jackson" Democrats exist today.

We never met President Harry Truman... we do not know President Harry Truman; but one thing is clear: John Murtha is no Harry Truman.

This is why the BootMurtha Campaign under Iowa Presidential Watch PAC's Vets For The Truth Committee is so important on the national scene.

 

While conservatives are just waking up to the importance of the BootMurtha project, leftwing Democrats are rally troops to immediately raise $500,000 to stop Boot Murtha.

 

Why is the Left scared of BootMurtha?

BootMurtha has already made the DRUDGEREPORT. BootMurtha already has 'boots on the ground' organizing in Murtha's own state of Pennsylvania. Those volunteers and paid staffers are PA residents and PA veterans. The VFTT Committee is capitalizing on prior knowledge and victory in bringing a successful effort to defeat Murtha in his own backyard.

The other good news is that the 'word on the street' in PA reports Murtha is concerned. Murtha knows his charade as a strong-on-defense congressman can easily be torn apart by the truth – truth BootMurtha is making available to the voters in PA!

The question is this: Will common-sense, conservative Americans recognize the value of supporting BootMurtha EARLY ON in its efforts? To not only defeat the charlatan hawk Murtha, but to defeat the liberal left that will fight to defend their 'stocking horse.'

Good.

I hope many liberals bite off their tongues.

[george76]

Thanks.

Let me guess. Those stuck in the muds will say Iraq had no WMD's, was not associated with al Queda yada yada. Same old routine they have been monotonously repeating for 3 years. i don't think people vote the past. I want to know what a candidate sees in the future.

10 cents out of 50 dollars will actually go to air time.

The cartoon below was valid after the 2004 election, and it will be valid after the upcoming November elections.

Excellent 'toon. Relevant then, relevant tomorrow.
Thanks for the reminder!!!

I WANT ONE OF THOSE SHIRTS!!!!!!!

I had this on the back of my car (Up here in Massachusetts) for 9 months, 3 months before the election and 6 months afterwards. Got away with only a small dent on my door..."

It is not a waste of money for TV time. Most people get their news from television. Who on our side will raise millions of dollars for ads? Soros is prepared to raise and spend huge sums of money. His effect on politics is not a good development for this nation.

Thanks, Doug. That's exactly the point. The reason the Swifties got such traction was due to the ads they ran against Kerry on '04. Prior to those ads, they had little if any traction. Meaning their efforts were not getting into the living rooms of those who needed to hear their message. THEY HAD TO BUY THE AIR TIME THEMSELVES. AND SO DOES BOOT MURTHA / VETS FOR THE TRUTH.

It is not enough to make waves through the Internet. Politics is still 'fought' through messages in the newspapers, on the radio and on tv. Internet is used to stir up the troops (preach to the choir) BUT IT DOES NOT REACH THE ACTUAL VOTERS IN ANY LARGE DEGREE.

Main stream media knows this. That is why they will not print or air our message.... only the liberals' gets air time.

I do not mean to be unduly harsh here. But crass as it is, money is needed in large amounts to counter what MoveOn.Org is going to do.

[Mrs. Ranger]

Well for pity's sake, don't waste your money running the ad in August! Half, or more, of the area is on vacation, followed by a good two weeks of "back to school" stuff. It'll be at least mid-September before an "ad" will be acceptable to the locals. ;)

Guess *someone* forgot to clue Moveon.org in as to Murtha's views on "carpetbaggers" interfering in the campaign???

SHEESH! It's just no fun when you can't even hand them the rope.

Murtha being rescued by MoveOn.org ping

Anyone wishing to be added to the IREY/Murtha ping list let me know!

[stephenjohnbanker]

They have no power. Irey is going to win!

[Just A Nobody]

I donated again the other day! Haven't received word if it was received.

[pissant]

Well, seeing how "successful" Moveon.org has been over the last election cycles, I would think it means little.

I agree Irey and her support teams need lotsa cash. That is a reality of politics, regardless of your opponent. But having Moveon.org and Code Pink and Michael Moore supporting Murtha is a HUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEE advantage for Irey.

[Mrs. Ranger]

"I do not mean to be unduly harsh here."

oops! Neither did I. :) I merely meant that when one has a limited amount of funds to spend, said funds should be spent in a manner that will provide the widest exposure for the amount spent. :)

As for Moveon? Please, please, spend your monies on an ad that will fly in CA, but will be deemed "offensive" by local mores and values. ;)

[KavMan]

anyone have any poll #'s for irey/murtha?

[Just A Nobody]

Thank you for your support of DIANA! She is an outstanding candidate.

VFTT and Boot Murtha have stepped up to the plate to assist Diana in her quest for the Congressional seat. They both need our support.

[Just A Nobody]

Shhhhhhh, don't tell 'em. ;*)

Anyone wishing to be added to the IREY/Murtha ping list let me know!

[Just A Nobody]

Hey! How ya doing? It would be great if Boot Murtha came out with something like that for your window.

[Just A Nobody]

ROTFLOL!!!
