He stood for denying unborns a chance to breathe fresh air.
He worked to deny Americans one of their constitutionally protected rights.
He admits both openly, although he spins them differently.
But he also claims to have built all these wonderful things. The fact of the matter is, Bob Torricelli never built a damned thing. The taxpayers did. The retirement homes, the parks, the hospitals- these were not his creations. The services given to seniors, these were not his gifts.
They were the result of the hard work of other people, taken under the demands of the government via taxation. New Jersey's residents, and to the degree that they received federal funding, US citizens, built those things and provided those services.
But Torch wants the credit. Like any Democrat, it is all about him.
