I find it remarkable that a kid from Chicago would know so much about a candidate in New Jersey. You have to be the only Lonegan expert in Illinois. Congratulations.
Ah that TIRED old argument again, when someone has nothing better to come up with they attack the person who DARES to disagree with them by pointing out he’s from a different state than the one he’s talking about, as if that means anything. I follow politics closely. I don’t need to live in NJ to absorb information about NJ candidates and use reason and logic to draw conclusions, Lonegan has been my on radar for years. His true colors are visible from MARS.
Why don’t you talk to JerseyHighlander, Clemenza, or TAdams8591. 3 NJ Republicans who haven’t drunk the Steveo kooliad.
I'm from Illinois and I also think Lonegan is a terrible egomaniac candidate and he's rubbed me the wrong way since I first heard him speak in 2005 (It also doesn't help that his supporters act like Max Cleland/Tammy Duckworth supporters and pull the "How DARE you attack a DISABLED person! Shame on you!" if you criticize anything in his past).
But since you consider our opinions invalid since we're not from New Jersey, you might want to consider what your fellow New Jersey freepers have to say about Lonegan. They know him best and their assessment is pretty damning:
In addition to being an 0-5 loser since ending his term as a mediocre Mayor of a sh-thole borough, Lonegan suffers from Michael Savage syndrome, aka a nails on chalkboard voice that mouths whatever the Koolaid drinkers want to hear.

Lonegan and his brother are, at a personal levels, complete and total arseholes to deal with, and most of the major donors in NJ have at this point figured this out through their personal interactions with the Lonegan brothers.
He is a bottomless black hole where tea party/conservatives can throw their political donations, sucking political monies away from more viable candidates and causes elsewhere.
He’s basically running the Pat and Bey Buchanan 1990’s political donation/consulting racket on a local level, it’s an ugly machine and you don’t want to be associated with it.
