Rob Andrews vs. The Truth
Volume I

Congressman fights epic battle
against truth, facts, and reality

BARRINGTON – U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews has a problem: he is incapable of telling the truth.

Rob’s claim: “Andrews told reporters on a conference call following the announcement that he passed up a lucrative position with financial and securities firm Goldman Sachs that was ‘more wealth than [his] family could have ever imagined’ to re-enter the House race.” (“Andrews Reverses Course, Re-Enters New Jersey Race,” Congressional Quarterly, September 4, 2008)

The truth: Rob and Camille Andrews raked in $457,000 last year. The median family income in the 1st District is a little over $47,000. Rob Andrews already makes 10 times more than the median family he has failed to represent, but apparently that wasn’t enough.

Rob’s claim: “After making what he called a “very personal and perplexing decision” over the Labor Day weekend, Andrews said he will ask the county committee members in his district to nominate him again on Monday.” (“Andrews announces re-election campaign,” The Hill, September 4, 2008)

The truth: Rob told PolitickerNJ.com all the way back on August 28 that he planned to make an announcement about his decision to go back on his word again and run for Congress. The decision was made before the Labor Day weekend, but, as Rob surely knows, when you lie as much as he does, it’s hard to keep your story straight. (“Andrews to address his future next week,” PolitickerNJ.com, August 28, 2008)

Here’s what the Philadelphia Inquirer had to say about Rob’s latest deceptions:

“Rob Andrews lied. Plain and simple.”
(“Editorial: Andrews' Reentry,” September 5, 2008)

Here’s what the Courier-Post had to say:

“Plain and simple, Andrews hedged his bets and lied to the public.”
(“Rob Andrews lied to South Jersey voters”, September 5, 2008)

Through his indefensible conduct, voters can now determine very easily when Rob Andrews is lying: any time his lips are moving.
