As soft television advertisements now hypocritically portray US House of Representatives Democrat incumbent Patrick Murphy as the best friend a Treasure Coast family ever had, an outstanding analysis of the young single man presents an appalling revelation of who and what he really is.

It would have been revealing to learn how Patrick Murphy made his millions.
No surprise.
Common sense tells us it stinks.
Why else would anyone spend literally $millions to get elected to a position that pays $174,000 annual salary?
