New Yorker determined to become the first Irish-born woman in Congress

Someone said she should run as a tea party member (Republican)............................................... It was under the republicans (George W Bush) that we got the second great republican depression. But When Clinton left office and Bush took over the Govt was running about a $128 billion surplus..................................... When Bush left office not only had our economy collapsed, but the interlinking of our economy has destroyed that of eg Greece, Italy, Iceland etc etc. and so many other nations................................................... The tea party is nothing but an economic extremist element of the Republicans committed to giving all the wealth to the top 1%, while destroying the middle class............Interestingly enough, I am one of the top 1%. Because I ended up with a job at Intel for 2 decades during the PC boom and made a fortune on the stock options.................And I realize I was purely lucky, I've actually Identified about 6 things in my life that led to working at Intel. Any single break in the chain and I'd be struggling to make ends meet.......................The bible says the love (or is it lust) for money is the root of all evil. I understand that so well. Thats why I changed to be a democrat. They are not perfect, but the repubs, in addition to the economic mess, are also the party of the racist southern bible belt extremists christians. The people who gave America Slavery, segregation and the hate group KKK................If there were Justice in this world, the word republican would be the worst profanities in our language.

She sounds like a great candidate!

We desperately need more people like Ms. Murphy in Congress who truly care about the issues and values that best define America. America is in danger of no longer being the land of opportunity for those who live here and those who would want to live here. There has to be economic justice for all who work for a living with an equitable sharing of the burden of taxes. We need to restore our government to the people, who can then decide the best ways to protect our environment with clean air and water; how to best make quality health care available for all at an affordable price; how to make the necessary repairs, maintenance, , and other matters that will promote a healthy, prosperous, peaceful national community .

It's encouraging to see young people, but especially young ladies, offer their talents like Brianne is doing. I wish you much success.

Miss Murphy....if you know that things in Wash are broken...WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AS A DEMOCRAT ?....The Tea Party person has a better sense as to how to fix all that crap....The Rep's do a certain extend are also responsible but putting someone like BO in the WH has been a terrible mistake....HE WAS OVER HIS HEAD IN 08 and has not learned a thing since ??
