Dare we question Rep. Patrick Murphy who proclaimed he left his REPUBLICAN VOTING HISTORY BEHIND, when he jumped into a democratic costume for his last run for office, and yet, and yet - ONCE ELECTED formed a "BUY-PARTISAN" caucus charmingly framed as "United Solutions". UNITED BEHIND a REPUBLICAN benefits gutting, Wall Street embracing, TPP loving and XL Pipeline promoting agenda.
