Murphy Rarely Supports His Ranting with Stats

To the Editor:
William Murphy, frequent to your pages, is wrong throughout his anti-Christie rant. He replaced rationality with exaggerated party rhetoric. Unsurprisingly, I wrote a list of 10 essential corrections.
1) The author speaks on behalf of Christie voters with second thoughts. Readers of his editorials are unlikely to believe he was a Christie voter.
2) Midwest voters regret voting conservative. Despite the vocal minority, Scott Walker and company are very popular among their constituents. Cleaning their predecessors’ messes, they’ve kept their promises.
3) Anti-reform union employees are role models for Jerseyans. Let’s see: unionized teachers ceased working for weeks, violated contracts, and provided fake physicians’ notes. What’s that teach children who want to skip class? Unions protested alongside communists and anarchists (locate videos on the net if unconvinced), caused the capitol building $7 million (and 77 shell cases) in vandalism damage, while holding drug/rave parties inside. Stellar examples.
4) Disgruntled voters are attempting Midwest governor recalls. Conveniently, no mention of the more numerous recall petitions against cowardly socialist-Democrat senators, who fled to Illinois when they finally couldn’t get their way, violating their senatorial duties, to thwart the democratic process.
5) Republicans are plotting to change American society, covertly funded by corporations. This hyperbole is laughable. Breathe deeply. Count to 10. Ready? Scott Walker’s only restoring the same fiscal sanity expected of us. As for changing society, wasn’t it Obama, in a pre-inaugural speech to Marxist followers, who said, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States”?
6) Privatization = sellouts. Bzzz. Wrong. Privatization returns the economic engine to private citizens, not an ineffective bureaucracy, addicted to spending the middle class’ earnings.
7) Christie plans to destroy Social Security, Medicare, and school systems. No need to. Socialist-Democrats already did. Because leftists vehemently opposed all reforms, the Fed announced Social Security’s bankruptcy last November. Meanwhile, the administration cut it by generating hyperinflation via QE2, then mailed lies to seniors that they’ll not receive law-mandated increases because prices haven’t risen since 2008. Through Obamacare, Medicare was chopped in half. Remember this in 2012. Don’t get me started on education. America’s students’ scores dropped from No. 1 worldwide under Reagan to No. 17 under Clinton, then No. 34 under Obama.Our children deserve better.
8) Christie lacks leadership experience. Murphy should retire this rhetoric, which he uses against Palin too, because as an ardent Obama supporter, he looks foolish with each utterance. But it’s a testament to America’s greatness that a community organizer, who never held a real job a day in his life, managed nothing can become president.
9) Christie’s tactics are thuggish. Re-read point three, and examine videos online using keywords “Wisconsin” and “Socialist,” “union violence,” “Wisconsin protesters” and “violence,” or “union thugs” for unedited proof.
10) Blame George W. Bush for everything. Obama, through mafia-esque tactics and his socialist-democrat accomplices controlling the 2009-2010 Congress, achieved more desired economic upheaval than any president. Period. He turned Bush’s $3 trillion debt to $46 trillion, double-dipped the recession, and instituted hyperinflation. Hands-down Obama proved himself worse than Bush, Clinton, Carter, even Wilson. We don’t need an immature president perpetually blaming predecessors for his disasters. Let’s elect an adult in 2012.
