Clint Murphy is a 38 year old Republican operative. He worked for Republican US Senator Paul Coverdell in the 1990s, Republican Casey Cagle in 2006, John McCain in 2008, and Republican Karen Handel’s gubernatorial campaign in 2010.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Murphy posted a rather striking Facebook message. In the post he said, “When you say you’re against it, you’re saying that you don’t want people like me to have health insurance.”

2. Actually he's not too smart for two reasons:

1) "Murphy is a complicated man. Inasmuch as he has seen the light, he still intends to work on Republican Karen Handel’s campaign. Handel is still committed to 'a full stop and defunding of Obamacare in its entirety now.'"

2) If he had any intelligence, he'd do some research and see that GingrichCare isn't the answer; with something like single-payer, where there can't be denial of insurance, is better at keeping people alive and healthy.
