Not-So-Secret Agents at the Kitchen Table Patriots Candidates Forum

It will be interesting to see the soon-to-be-posted video of the Kitchen Table Patriots’ Candidates’ Forum, because apparently there were some Sneaky Pats at the Forum.  The forum organizers had requested that no videotaping take place, but evidently a few of Patrick Murphy’s minions broke the rules.  (Take a look at this blog entry from the Snowflakes from He** blog.  There’s lots of interesting information on the forum and candidates beyond the mention of the surreptitious video-tapers.)  Too bad the official video of the forum will likely focus on the candidates instead of the crowd and the rulebreakers.

Congressman Patrick Murphy, (D, 8th) has good reason to be worried about re-election.  As we’ve often mentioned, Murphy votes with Speaker Nancy Pelosi, (one of the most disliked people in the country outside of San Francisco) 97% of the time.  That voting record was way out of step with his constituents in Bucks County, even before this unbelievable year of excessive spending bills.

So now that Murphy’s electability is in doubt, what does he do?  He doesn’t decide to start listening to his constituents and vote against this crazy spending spree the Democrats are on.  Nor does he decide to actually become a fiscal conservative as he claims to be (although he did vote against Son of Stimulus after getting Nancy’s blessing.)

Instead, he sends a few minions to the Forum to sneakily videotape the candidates (at least the ones he’s afraid of.)

How worried (or stupid) are these people?   The audio of the Forum is available on ReRadio now and the video will be available on You Tube in a few days.  Why point out that the Murphy camp is concerned in such an obvious way?

Hey, Congressman Murphy.  It was hard to imagine how you could make yourself look any more foolish, but looks like you’ve done it.  Congratulations on the achievement!

By the way,  according to several sources, the candidates the Murphy minions were videotaping were Dean Malik and Jeff McGeary.

Guess we know who he’s worried about.
