Dick Morris predicts Murphy will be unseated
Monday, April 19th, 2010Image via Wikipedia In this article, Dick Morris predicted that the GOP will win at least 39 seats. He says at least seven or those seats will come from Pennsylvania including the seats currently held by: Kathy Dahlkemper, Jason Altmire, Patrick Murphy, Christopher Carney, and Paul Kanjorski.

Heritage Foundation – 2010 Budget Chart Book
Thursday, April 8th, 2010The Heritage Foudation 2010 Budget Chart Book is a series of charts and graphs that clearly shows the serious situation we are in with out-of-control federal spending (some charts include the state and local burden as well). I would love to see Patrick Murphy try to explain how his destructive out-of-control spending votes don’t make [...]
Murphy touted for key position
Thursday, April 8th, 2010This Intelligencer article reports that Patrick Murphy is being considered for a position on the prestigious Appropriations Committee. This seat is vacant due to the death of John Murtha. Since the two are cut from the same corrupt mold, this doesn’t surprise me, but it does disgust me. House Democrats are trying to save Murphy by [...]
Job Killing Policies
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010John Boehner’s Leader Alert today is titled “As Americans Ask “Where Are the Jobs?” Obama Advisor Pushes for Even More Tax Hikes”.

Why Obama and Murphy are responsible for the economy
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010President Obama and Congressman Patrick Murphy, along with the Democratic leadership, keep blaming the economy on President Bush and his administration. While I agree that President Bush did let spending get out of control, he was not alone. Let’s not forget that in 2004, when “Senator” Obama was elected to the Senate, federal spending was [...]
E-mail from Patrick Murphy
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010Today, I received a bulk e-mail from Patrick Murphy. I must have gotten on his e-mail list from my online feedback to him on the issues. The subject line read “Cutting Waste in Washington and Saving Taxpayer Dollars”. I thought it was a joke, at first. It went on to talk about how he is [...]
Report Card on Patrick Murphy
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009It’s been over three years since Patrick Murphy was elected Congressman of Pennsylvania’s 8th district. Since there has been recent talks about report cards for President Obama, I thought it would be a good time to measure Patrick Murphy’s performance since being elected. Congressman Murphy consistently brings up being a “Blue Dog Democrat”. In this [...]
