Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

The Scott Murphy Illusion



I just got an email from Scott Murphy who explained how he going to save us all. Unlike most of you, I did not unsubscribe from his newsletter, as one has to try to understand the dangerous.  


The Murphy BS gets boring, so let me provide a few facts,  please feel free to tell everyone you know. In fact, that is an order.


I will soon start a "rat marketing" Internet system to get the word out about Murphy and others. The "media" is a fixed game;  I don't understand why Republicans buy advertising space there, they are feeding the enemy and doing so with a smile. 


Here is how the recent Murphy letter began:



Dear Friend,
I have spent my career, both in the private sector and now as your Representative in Congress, working to build the economy in Upstate New York....   

The letter explains, again, how great he is as a businessman and he will help northern NY, where he spent his career. This is an "Age of Obama" lie.  Such lies are not as subtle as Mr. Clinton's because the left knows the media is a shield, not a sword.

He moved to Glens Falls in 2007.  His "Wiki" recently changed and it no longer mentions that. Click on the date to find an article:
After Murphy’s father passed away in 2006, he and his family moved to Glens Falls, N.Y., so that his wife could be near her family’s dairy farm. Murphy said he attends a 57-person Sunday dinner with Hogan’s family nearly every week.

Early life and career
The son of a teacher and mail carrier,[3] Murphy graduated from David H. Hickman High SchoolColumbiaMissouri in 1988,[5] and later graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University.
Murphy worked for Bankers Trust [ NYC] for two years in the early 1990s before becoming an entrepreneur. In 1994, he co-founded an interactive media company, Small World Software. [NYC sport's fantasy firm] In 1998 the company, which had grown to 25 employees, was purchased by the internet-consulting company iXL.[6] He then served as one of the heads of the purchased entity, rebranded "iXL New York". iXL later went bankrupt in 2002 during the end of the dot-com bubble. In 2001 Murphy joined Advantage Capital Partners, a venture capital partnership. [Not Upstate - National Company.  It says he "joined" not that he was a partner.]
He currently serves as President of the Board of Directors of Upstate Venture Association of New York, Inc.[7] [Not a company - another NGO - pay us and we will consult] He also worked as an aide, Deputy Chief of Staff, and fundraiser for former Governors of Missouri Mel Carnahan and Roger B. Wilson ....

Murphy Under Fire For Unpaid Taxes

FEBRUARY
2
The National Republican Congressional Committee is taking aim at newly picked Democratic candidate Scott Murphy in the 20th Congressional race, saying he owes $21,550 in back taxes and penalties in 1997 and 1998 for a company he owned, Small World Software, Inc.
The committee also says that Murphy, who is challenging Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco for the open seat, has recently changed his biography online. It used to say, “prior to joining Advantage Capital, Mr. Murphy founded three different Internet-related businesses…” one of which was “Baazee.com, the leading online auction site in India that was sold to eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY).”
They said it now states: “Prior to joining Advantage Capital, Mr. Murphy founded two different Internet-related businesses…”
“It may be easy for a Wall Street venture capitalist like Scott Murphy to think he is above paying taxes, but middle-class families don’t have that luxury. Our financial crisis has taught us that corporate CEOs should be held accountable for their actions, and Scott Murphy should be treated no different,” said NRCCspokesman Paul Lindsay.
“Given the limited time he has to introduce himself to voters in upstate New York, it’s time for Murphy to come clean and disclose all of his questionable business dealings.”
Murphy’s campaign couldn’t be reached for comment.
The congressional seat is open after Kirsten Gillibrand was appointed to the Senate. The district runs from Dutchess County to the North Country. 
Once we send him off, he would qualify to work at the Treasury. After all, he is a tax cheat; further, has more business experience, as it is, than Geithner, as Tim admitted this week - I have no experience in the private sector. He did so without a hint that he saw this as a problem.

Murphy's opponent is Mr. Gibson.  :  Chris Gibson for Congress
Just an honorable retired officer who likes our nation and has seen the underside of the world. You know, old school.
