"Patrick Murphy is getting desperate and now employing Chicago style tactics to pursue his win at all costs strategy," said Kyle Whatley, Mike Fitzpatrick's Campaign Manger. "We know that Congressman Murphy has raised half of his money outside of Pennsylvania, and as the Courier-Times reported today, Patrick Murphy has also been hiding behind millions of dollars from outside shadowy groups that are attacking Mike Fitzpatrick."

"This poll shows that Patrick Murphy's desperate attacks and lies about Mike Fitzpatrick aren't working. Bucks County residents aren't fooled by Patrick Murphy. They know he enthusiastically supported the big bank bailout that paid bonuses to Wall Street CEOs, the stimulus that shipped jobs to China, and Obamacare. No amount of negative attacks against Mike Fitzpatrick can change Patrick Murphy's record."

In addition to the out-of-state money raised by Patrick Murphy, tons of paid out-of-state workers are now flooding Bucks County on behalf of Patrick Murphy. See these ads and articles here: 1, 2, 3.

"We all know that Chicago is Patrick Murphy's kind of town. He was the first Pennsylvania politician to endorse Barack Obama over Senator Clinton, Obama's Chicago speechwriter ghostwrote for Murphy's sweetheart book deal, and Murphy's Chief of Staff is moving to Chicago to run Rahm Emanuel's race for mayor. But now he's bringing Chicago-style politics to Bucks County," said Whatley. "Bucks County is rejecting Patrick Murphy's desperate tactics, they are responding to Mike Fitzpatrick's message of job creation and pro-growth economic policies."
