GOP thanks "Democrat" Patrick Murphy for support on Benghazi

From Alan Grayson--

Warning: this may make your blood boil. Carlos Beruff, my Republican Senate opponent, just thanked Patrick Murphy, my “Democratic” Senate opponent, for standing with the GOP, in this tweet:

“Thank you @PatrickMurphyFL for standing with the GOP on Benghazi.”

So it has come to this: The Republicans are explicitly thanking a so-called “Democrat” for aiding their taxpayer-funded witch-hunt called the Benghazi Committee.

This is ridiculous. Please contribute to our campaign against this turncoat Patrick Murphy, and make sure that a real Democrat can represent us in the Senate

Two years ago last Sunday, the Benghazi Committee came into being. There are only three Democrats in the House today who voted for it. One of them is my primary opponent, Patrick Murphy.

Of course, Patrick isn’t really a Democrat. He’s a lifelong Republican, masquerading as a Democrat. So he didn’t hesitate to join the GOP in their Benghazi Committee charade. And he has never apologized for it, either.

In fact, Trey Gowdy, the odious Chairman of the Benghazi Committee, talked to Patrick Murphy about the Benghazi Committee a few months ago. But neither one of them will tell anyone what Gowdy sent to Murphy.

Give GOP Senate candidate Carlos Beruff extra credit for honesty: he’s willing to thank Patrick Murphy for “standing with the GOP” – just where Patrick wants to be.

to run against another Republican. He is a member of that nest of DINOs, the Third Way-advised New Democrat Coalition - motto - "Who cares about ideology, we want to work with the GOP to get Third Way stuff done!!!!".

Needless to say, Hillary and Debbie LOVE Murphy.

I am only going to be registered as Democrat until I vote for Grayson in the August primary. If Hillary and Debbie and Murphy are Democrats, then I must not be a Democrat. Party left me.
