The keepers of the IREY/Murtha ping list, in order to keep as many of our fellow freepers informed as possible, are proud to announce the kickoff of DIANA IREY COUNTDOWN TO VICTORY #II-DAILY NEWS.
Here you will continue to find the reason of the day why Jack Murtha refuses to debate Diana Irey provided by Diana's own website!
In addition, we have added many new features as the Countdown has evolved.
Look for the IREY FUNNIES, IREY DIARY, great pictures and graphics and so much more!
We have had wonderful support and interest in the original DIANA IREY COUNTDOWN TO VICTORY THREAD and we encourage all to visit it if you missed it the first time around.
Also, please stop by daily to our new thread to cheer Diana on and enjoy the fun with your fellow freepers!
The Irey/Murtha ping list will update this thread each day with a link to the "Reason Of The Day", and then ping the list so those on it can return to this thread. Let's keep this thread going 'til Election Day by posting to it or bumping it daily!!!
Is she expected to win? I haven't seen any numbers.
OKEY DOKEY
"Mrs. Irey, I am a soldier currently serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom and I am appalled at the remarks that Mr. Murtha has made regarding all aspects of the war and military in general. I used to serve with the USMC as a corpsman and was always told Semper Fidelis (always faithful) and "once a marine, always a marine", I guess to Mr. Murtha these slogans only have meaning during nonelection years. Good Luck in the election. We are all rooting for you in the election. May you restore the pride and leadership that Mr. Murtha has eroded in his congressional district."
(Name Withheld), Greensburg, PA
Now, ALL YOU WHO HAVE READ THIS, AND CAN AFFORD IT, PLEASE SUPPORT THEIR WISHES BY DONATING TO DIANA IREY NOW!
Please ping this.
Someone ping this to the lists. Also, those in the 12th, send it to your like minded friends and family.
BTTT
Murtha has voted against protecting traditoinal marriage. He's voted against securing our borders. He's voted for coddling terrorists and illegal immigrants. His plan to fight terror is to redeploy our troops to an island off the coast of Japan.
Polls, schmolls. This race has been totally overlooked by the MSM for reasons that are all too obvious.
There haven't been any numbers released, which makes me think she is a very long shot.
Considering voter registration in the district favors Democrats 2-1, it would take a miracle. Irey has run about as good of a campaign as you can run, but she has long odds to overcome.
We are pulling for you down here in Texas, Diana!!!
It'll be a close race, no question. Diana Irey is fighting a 30-year incumbent. But the lack of polls doesn't mean anything. If Murtha were trouncing Irey, don't you think we'd hear about it? The MSM is ignoring this race because it doesn't fit their theme of "everyone is against the war and the Repubs are toast".
So, how come Kerry only beat Bush by less than 3% in that district?
Optimism has run amok in this race. She won't win because, like you said, there are more Democrats than Republicans in this district. I know what I'm talking about because I live in Massachusetts where the entire state has a pro-Democratic Party ratio of 3 to 1 over all other political parties. She should of ran in a "Republican friendly" district, and maybe she will do just that sometime in the future.
Do you live in the district? The district only went for Kerry in 04 by 51%. What does that tell you? These aren't liberal, gay marriage, cut-and-run Democrats. Your analysis is way too superficial. Put your money on Irey.
Is that you, John Murtha?
How come Massachusetts has a Republican governor?
