Congressman Spits Bit on Ethics
HARTFORD – It seems Chris Murphy can’t keep his story straight, and he’s only been in Congress for four and half months. Yesterday he voted to allow a bully to get his way and push back the “new ethics” he promoted a week ago in Danbury.
Murphy was quoted in Danbury News Times 1 telling his fellow lawmakers to “get ethical”. But then when he went to Washington this week, he buckled under the heavy pressure of the Democratic Leadership and voted the party line to cover up an egregious ethics violation by Congressman John “Abscam” Murtha, a senior House Democrat.
“Plain and simple: Murphy has spit the bit on ethics,” said Chairman Chris Healy of Mr. Murphy’s actions. “Barely a week ago Chris Murphy was putting his name in the newspaper telling lawmakers to “get ethical” – then he went to Washington and voted to protect Murtha from punishment after Murtha’s blatant violation of House ethics rules”.

Murphy is as honest as a Kennedy in front of a grand jury
