I’ve received a few emails over the course of the past month from the National Republican Congressional Committee denouncing Democratic U.S. Rep. Murphy.<\/p>\n
Today’s installment rips Murphy for supporting the stimulus package. “One long year after House Democrats passed their trillion dollar ‘stimulus’ boondoggle, Americans are facing daunting double-digit unemployment numbers and a skyrocketing deficit,” said NRCC Communications Director Ken Spain said in the email. “Rather than putting the brakes on his party’s reckless tax-and-spend policies, Murphy has continued to rubber-stamp their runaway spending, further pushing the federal deficit into the red.”<\/span> <\/p>\n Here’s the problem: the focus of the attack is Scott Murphy<\/a>, a Democrat from New York’s 20th District, which stretches from Rhinebeck to Lake Placid, not Chris Murphy<\/a>, a Democrat from Connecticut’s 5th District.<\/p>\n “After a year of punishing middle-class families with mountains of debt fueled by partisan government giveaways, New York families deserve to know: Would Scott Murphy vote for the ‘stimulus’ today if he had the chance?” the NRCC asks.<\/span><\/p>\n
