For the seventh time, Democrat Patrick Murphy, the 31 year old empty suit running for US House of Representatives in Floridas 18th District, SNUBBED voters and refused to show up at the Treasure Coast League of Women Voters Forum. Republican challenger Carl Domino explained his opponents refusal to meet constituents by saying the congressman wants us to forget he is now a Democrat, given that he was a Republican in Fort Lauderdale. Murphys campaign ads, many funded by local Realtors, depict the Democrat as an Independent although he voted the Obama-Pelosi party line over 82% of the time! (1)
Domino is a Viet Nam War Veteran who was a US Navy Commander in the Mekong River theatre. He reminded the League audience that an elected officials primary duties are to listen and respond to the needs of those he was elected to represent. Murphy, however, responds to his constituents by refusing to show up, just as he did last spring when he blew off the Taxpayers Forum of Saint Lucie West. Realtors, insurance, finance and college administrators are all a part of the Treasure Coast Research Park (TCRP), a taxpayer funded consortium. Yet when Murphy ran soft filter lens advertisements against Domino, he failed to disclose the relationship between ad-actor and Rancher Bud Adams and Mike Adams, Buds oldest son and President of the TCRP consortium.

Just consider the following, staggering statistic. After only two years in Congress, Patrick Murphys net worth jumped from $205,682 to $3,185,011, an incredible increase of 1,449%. In comparison, the American citizens median yearly income declined by 0.94%!! (2) Murphy sits on the powerful, US House Finance Committee and his huge campaign war chest is...

The entire lagoon in a virtual toilet from pollution from big sugar, big citrus and big beef and this daddy’ punk ass boy knows it takes their money and does squat.
2012 election[edit] Main article: United States House of Representatives elections in Florida, 2012 § District 18 Murphy claims he was so taken aback by some of the things Republican incumbent Representative Allen West was saying in Congress and on television that he felt compelled to run against him.[6] As a result, he took the campaign strategy of selling himself as a West alternative.[8] Murphy was supported by Florida's former Republican Governor Charlie Crist and former Democratic President Bill Clinton, along with Republican Sheriff of Martin County Bob Crowder, who ran against West in the primaries.[9][10] The race was among the most expensive congressional races in 2012,[11] and called one of the ugliest in the 2012 campaign, as well as one of the closest.[12] After a close vote, the state of Florida certified a Murphy victory over West, days after the election.[13] The West campaign claimed there were errors in the vote counting process and took legal action to request a recount of disputed votes.[14] On November 20, 2012, the West campaign conceded the election to Murphy, who won by a margin of 2429 votes.[15]
