You know...
Last night after Murray made his comment about my experience level and age I decided I'd do a little more research about his past in the Porsche world. I just knew that someone with 35 years of experience building super high quality, RACING 356, 914 and 911 engines would have a rich history. I thought maybe I'd read something about the guy that impressed me enough to just let his statements go, because perhaps he was just that damned good.

So I went to the 356 Registry and did some searching... I didn't find anything. I thought that was kinda weird, because all the old timers hang there and SURELY Murray had to have built thousands of engines for that crowd over the past 35 years..

Totally disappointed I then used this little search engine called Google.. The word on the street is this thing is the best thing since sliced bread for finding out about people, places and things here on this new fangled computer "thing a ma jig". So I typed in Murray Mcafee into Google and I didn't find anything at all online related to his experiences with Porsches or their engines... Since I have been known to make so many typographical errors (in the world according to Murray) I thought that just maybe I didn't spell his name right so I double checked. It was spelled right so I then started doing searches with all sorts of other combinations like "Murray Mcafee+Porsche" and that still didn't do anything..

I kept getting pissed off because it seemed that every search I did was polluted with all sorts of information and rants about some guy with the same name that ran for Mayor of his city in 2007; that was the only information that did pop up and finally I read something I couldn't believe. It seemed that the Mcafee character that everyone was bitching about had been the city manager in that city and held other jobs in the past and it was so entertaining that I just kept reading it and laughing my ass off at the wild statements of this guy's behavior in public and during city functions....

As I read more I started thinking to myself that this behavior sure did parallel my experiences with Murray in the past and also was in line with his ramblings here on the forum, especially in this topic. I started to think that maybe this guy was the same Murray here in the thread, but how the hell could a guy that had been tied up with city politics have the time to build so many engines and supposedly win so many races, it just didn't all add up. As I continued to read I'll be damned if it wasn't true!!! He really is that damn good! A phone call this morning verified that here on 914 World we are in the presence of a VERY infamous person!

So I'll share a link or two here and some of my favorite excerpts from last nights google searching so all of you can laugh just as hard as I did.

Senoia mayoral candidate McAfee is a phony. Murray McAfee has been touting himself as “the best qualified” for the job of Senoia mayor, citing his tenure as the city’s administrator as one of his greatest credentials. What he failed to mention in his foul-mouthed newspaper interview (which required extensive censorship), is that he was given the choice of resigning from his former position or being fired for “incompetence.


QUOTE
Anyone who’s ever attended a Senoia City Council meeting and sat through the comments from the public has had to be subjected to McAfee’s crazed ramblings which are never based in fact, border on the insane, and leave everyone in the room rolling their eyes until he’s finally told by council to “make his point or sit down,” at which point he’s forced to sit down, since he never has a legitimate point to make.


DAMN!
QUOTE
They know that the biggest threat to McAfee’s campaign is McAfee, so they don’t want him speaking in public. When sober, they’re at least smart enough to realize they need to keep their lap dog on a short leash.


Here is my favorite!!
One Small Step for Senoia... One Giant Defeat for McAfee!!

The citizens of Senoia have spoken... loudly and clearly... and have handed down a resounding mandate to Mayor Belisle and Council... "KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!"

In a landslide victory, Belisle soundly thrashed Murray McAfee with a record 81% of the vote... leaving only one question in the functioning minds of Senoians... "Who the hell are the 19% that voted for Murray McAfee????"

It simply doesn't add up... while we know that McAfee and his cart carnies account for 3 of his votes... who else could have possibly cast the others?

Amid the victory celebrations, many citizens were left deeply concerned that either there are 85 people in Senoia with such advanced stages of Parkinsons that they simply hit the wrong button on the voting machine... or there is an immediate need to amend the City budget to add in the cost of 85 straight jackets.

Still others headed out to the local cemetaries with flashlights to determine just how many McAfite voters had been gleaned from local headstones.

Averaging one vote for every 100 signs strategically placed in City right of ways and ditches, Murray has brilliantly deduced that he need only put out 50,000 signs for the next election in order to secure his dream of becoming queen of Senoia. His chief election strategist/financier has considered this plan carefully, plumbed the depths of her own intelligence, and already placed the order for the additional signs.

On a more positive note, perhaps in two years Senoia will finally have the sewer capacity to process the enormous amount of B.S. produced by McAfee during an election


Another..

It's a toss up... but in an effort to at least attribute ONE idea in this campaign to Murray, reading between the lines we can only assume that Mr. McAfee is looking for a 'gentler touch' from the boys in black. If he's elected, we're sure to be in for such sweeping changes as pink batons, furry handcuffs, K-9 poodles, and (without a doubt) an annual policemen's ball with Mr. McAfee headlining the entertainment by singing some stimulating showtunes.

Murray McAfee has come completely unglued.

On the one hand, he complains that his signs are being stolen. On the other, he fails to mention that he's putting them on people's properties who don't support him... and they're taking them down not "stealing" them!

This of course has left him with no choice but to litter the city right of ways, and those of Rockaway Rd, SR16 and SR85 with dozens of signs, just stuck out in the middle of nowhere. I guess those represent the support of Senoia's voting worms, snakes, and rodents.

You'd have to look pretty hard to find a McAfee sign on an actual human being's property... and then after you consider whose property it is, it's fairly easy to grasp the meaning of the phrase, "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king".

As we all know, Murray's been canned from the jobs he brags make him 'most qualified' to be the mayor of Senoia... and that's the best he's got! Makes one wonder which 'qualifications' he's not telling us about.


So it appears that Murray was busy managing a city when I was still shitting in my diapers more than he was producing these awesome engines that he carries on about so often here on this forum. He has gone out of his way to ruin my credibility so I felt the need to reciprocate and share a few things that were nothing more than a matter of a simple google search, and total public record.

Did someone mention self induced flagulation (SP)????? LOL
