A change of heart

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post endorsing former Justin Murphy for Congress. My view of Murphy at the time was that he was a small government, anti-tax Republican who would defend the true American cause.

I'm writing this to say this, and you can quote me "I WAS DEAD WRONG".

In his time as councilman of Tabernacle, NJ, Justin Murphy has voted to increase property taxes by 70 percent. Property taxes skyrocketed so bad that his fellow Republicans on the Tabernacle council declined to support his re-election. Also on my key issue, Murphy's actual position on the issue is similar to that of his opponent (wow, what an option). And now it has come to light that in 2008, when Murphy ran as an anti-establisment Republican, Murphy failed to go out and vote for himself. If he doesn't have the time to vote for himself, what makes me think that he has the time to vote for me.

That is why I'm taking this opportunity to rescind my endorsement of Justin Murphy and officially announce my endorsement of Jon Runyan, the former offensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles. Jon's commitment to the people of the third congressional district is inspiring and talking to Jon, he has proven to me that while Justin Murphy can talk a good talk, Jon's blue-collar background and how he relates to the rest of hard-working America, that he is our best chance to beat John Adler in November.

On June 8, VOTE FOR JON RUNYAN AND THE REST OF THE COLUMN ONE GOP TICKET! (And yes, that includes myself Cherry Hill, haha!)
