    He's not on the fence.
    He is representing the interests of his richest constituents.
    Got a problem with that?
    silly people. You all think WE as individuals are important.
    NOT.
    He's been bought.
    We've been 'had."
    Accept it and throw the bum out.
    Send him packing back to Missouri.

    Now THIS is how the GOP gets back in our district.
    I hope you're all happy.

    Oh -- don't worry about Scott.
    He'll make his money and run like all the others.

    I found this on the web

    Relax, everyone, no need to speculate. Congressman Murphy's not making up his mind about anything -- it's not his decision to make which way he votes.

    If Nancy Pelosi doesn't need his vote to pass this thing, Murphy will be allowed to keep up his little "fiscally-responsible" charade of actually caring about breaking the back of NY small businesses with more taxes--and continue playing the part of a moderate...and vote against the bill.

    On the other hand...if House Democrat Leaders DO need Scott Murphy's "Aye" to pass government-run health care, rest assured they WILL get it...the only question is how much Murphy's vote will cost them:

    It only took $4,000 in campaign contributions from Nancy Pelosi's PAC to get a waivering Scott Murphy's vote for a similarly controversial bill--"Cap and Trade"--back in June:

    (From a recent report by Americans for Prosperity): "In a span of one week, June 23rd-30th, surrounding the roll call vote of June 26th, a total of $130,000 was given to 41 swing Democratic voters by four key Democratic leadership PACs."

    Pelosi's PAC was one of the four, which gave $32,000 in campaign contributions to 14 of those wavering Democrats that voted "yes" on Cap and Trade---including the $4,000 to Rep. Murphy's re-election campaign coffers.

    I'm not sure what the exchange rate is these days in terms of Thousands of Dollars/Congressional Vote, though I doubt it will set back Nancy Pelosi's PAC more than a few grand to purchase Murphy's vote to pass ObamaCare...

    "On bill, Murphy still on fence"

    Your headlines should really be a little more specific. I mean, Murphy is on the fence on every issue. I think he was born with a fence pole... well I won't get crude but I think it gets the point across.

    Mr. Murphy. Did you see today's story on GE planning layoffs? Could their decisions in part being made because our Government is making it more difficult by the year to employ American citizens or even continue to produce here in the U.S.? The benevolent corporations "could" decide to just sit back and allow the Government to take even more of their money and give it to a citizen that doesn't work not just for them, but not at all. Think of your district and ask yourself if the people back home want you to distribute their "wealth".

    A few questions for ya Murph...Who's in line to be the "lifestyles judge"? That statement is really scary, the feds telling us how to live. You state you haven't had the time to read the Senate bill yet....well over 1000 pages on top of the 1000 plus pages in the House bill...since when does reading and understanding any bill have anything to do with responsible government? Re-election concerns have nothing to do with how you vote"...could I interest you in a bridge between N.Y. and Vermont????
