Bysiewicz Scorches Murphy Over Afghanistan “Doublespeak”.

Susan Bysiewicz’s United States Senate campaign tried to rip some bark off opponent Chris Murphy over Afghanistan.  In a scorching Thursday afternoon release, Bysiewicz spokesman Mark Bergman puts Murphy’s record on America’s military commitment in Afghanistan under heavy fire.  He tries to hit the moving target that is Murphy’s recent statements on the issue as interpreted by Bysiewicz.

The rhetoric is notably pointed for the early days of the campaign for the Democratic nomination.  Bysiewicz, who spent 18 years in state office, is lunging for the outsider’s post on the left in the contest.

Here’s part of the release.

“The voters of Connecticut deserve an explanation from Congressman Murphy on why he says that he is using his vote to bring American troops home but actually voted against an immediate withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan,” Mark Bergman, spokesman for Susan Bysiewicz said.

“This is exactly the type of political doublespeak we have come to expect from Washington politicians like Congressman Murphy. Susan Bysiewicz is the only candidate in the US Senate race that supports an immediate withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan. Connecticut voters deserve a true progressive voice in the US Senate to replace Joe Lieberman, not another Washington insider that will say one thing but vote another way.”
