Throwing John Murtha Out of Congress

Murtha is up for re-election in 26 days. His opponent, is Washington Commissioner Diana Irey, a true coneserative, who could use our help. And she really comes out swinging too!

“Perhaps Mr. Murtha is scared to debate me because he knows I will hold him accountable before the voters for the lies he’s been feeding his constituents for more than a quarter century about his role in the biggest corruption scandal in history. Ever since the release of Jack Murtha’s full, unexpurgated ABSCAM FBI surveillance video 13 days ago, we have known the truth — that Jack Murtha has been lying to his constituents for 26 years now regarding his behavior.

“Perhaps Mr. Murtha is scared to debate me because he knows I will hold him accountable before the voters for his long history of ethically questionable behavior in trading hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarked federal appropriations for millions of dollars in campaign contributions — behavior so flagrant that even a liberal congressional watchdog group listed him just a few weeks ago as one of the 25 most corrupt Members of Congress.

“Perhaps Mr. Murtha is scared to debate me because he knows I will hold him accountable before the voters for his rush to judgment in the matter of U.S. Marines at Haditha — where he acted as prosecutor, judge, and jury, declaring that American soldiers had, and I quote, ‘killed innocent civilians in cold blood’ — before the first Marine was charged, before the first court-martial was convened, before the first Marine was convicted.

I would also add to the list, Murtha’s incessant whining about how we need to cut and run from Iraq, how the war in “unwinnable” and how our military is ailing. He needs to be thrown out of Congress, and Diana Irey looks like an excellent candidate for his seat.
