Rabbi Complicates Garrett’s Re-Election Bid in New Jersey

Congressional Quarterly ^ | 4-16-08 | Rachel Kapochunas

[Darren McCarty]

The 5th District (North Bergen County, North Passaic County, most of Sussex County, all of Warren County) is 2nd to the 11th (Morris County) in terms of Republican percentage.

Garrett won with 59% in 02, 58% in 04, and 55% in a rough 06 year where his neighboring district (Ferguson) nearly went democrat.

This one should stay ours, but with the ineptness of the NRCC/NRSC leadership, I'm worried about every district to some degree.

RINOs in the Northeast are being replaced by Democrats. Upper class liberals who used to vote GOP are now voting Democratic.

Cute, gimmicky candidate. Garrett is the best MOC from NJ in years. I expect he should be back up to the % of his first two runs as McCain will handily carry this district.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Garrett isn’t a RINO, he’s a bonafide Conservative. He replaced the embarrassing RINO Marge Roukema. Roukema was happy to have had the moonbat RINO turned rodent that ran against Garrett in ‘02 to beat him, but she didn’t get her wish.

[Past Your Eyes]

I’ve never been able to figure out how any Jew could be a Democrat, yet the majority of them seem to be.

[Huck]

You’re ignorant. Scott Garrett holds a 100 ACU rating.

[Huck]

Wishful dem thinking. Garrett’s district is solid conservative. I look forward to voting for him again.

[darkangel82]

Roukema reminded me of another woman NJ RINO.

Whitman... the William Weld/*omney one-woman party-destroyer of the NJ GOP.

[darkangel82]

At least NJ still sends GOP reps to Congress though.

[fieldmarshaldj]

But a minority of them. We had huge majorities of the legislature and after she was done, that all but evaporated. Her sideshow assclown judicial appointees gave the OK to the Torricelli switcheroo, too. A Democrat Governor couldn’t have improved their fortunes as well as she did, and her little handpuppet DiFrancesco.

Shulman supports abortion rights, redeploying troops from Iraq, and opposes drilling off the coast of New Jersey. He also supports the separation of church and state.

I'm more of a Rabbi than this putz.
Abortion on demand is prohibited by Jewish law. This guy belongs to the Synagogue of Leftism.

NJ 5th District *PING*

[Fudd Fan]

I'm more of a Rabbi than this putz.

Exactly. The putz showed up at the Bergen County re-org meeting early this year, came up to the mic during public comments time. He outlined his platform which consisted of "ridding the district of Scott Garrett." Our town carried this freeholder meeting several times and I wanted to punch the tv. Shulman makes my skin crawl. And I'm sending Scott more $$$ this year, than ever.

[Kuksool]

Most Jews find Religious Right creepy. They feel that Evangelical activism to ban gay marriage and abortion are initial steps to make Evangelicalism the official state religion of America. When certain Evangelicals push for Creationism and school prayer, it reinforces that fear.

[scrabblehack]

If Shulman won, he’d have an excuse for not reading the legislation he votes on.

[SoConPubbie]

So what do they think about the Democrats wholesale push to make Abortion as easy as possible and mainstream Homosexuality and gay marriage?

Are they smart enough to understand that they are trying to divest America of morals, make Atheism the official state religion of America, or do they even care?

[saneright]

Scott Garrett is not a RINO. He is a straight down the line conservative.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Yes,Garrett is “Conservative” and he is my Congressman. I will be voting for him again in November.
