Yes, Jersey has a lot of black and Latino voters who are racists and will vote for ANY black or Latino candidate - unless he or she is a Conservative.
BUT
Republicans can’t win elections. They are two political parties in one - the establishment elitist RINOs and the conservatives.
The Establishment RINOs run the party. The Conservatives form a large voting block in the party. The conservatives support the RINOs and the RINOs refuse to vote for conservatives and would prefer to have a Democrat in office over a conservative Republican.
Such a schizophrenic relationship must end.
The conservatives can’t seem to capture the party leadership because PACs and corporate contributions go to those in power in order to secure special perks and in this case it means the RINOS.
I made calls for Lonegan. Roughly half of those Republicans I called here said they were staying home and not supporting him.
The REPUBLICANS in New Jersey lost this race, the Democrats didn’t win it. Had MOST Republicans in Jersey voted for Lonegan, a decent patriotic Christian man, he would have been elected instead of a slimy flawed, crooked urban mayor who manages to make even Barrack Hussein Obama look good.
And THAT is the real story.
The fact is that NJ is a dying state that is running out of time to turn things around; Christie is evidence that a conservative can win (tax-cutting, pro-life and pro-family), but only when people are voting their pockets. When it comes to voting their morals the Dems win. NJ Repubs are fiscal, not moral conservatives.
Having Hispanic and black senators is no indication of the ethnic makeup of NJ, but it certainly is an indication of the moral makeup.
Years ago I distributed flyers outside Catholic Churches for Lonegan, and the response from “Catholic” women would turn your stomach. God left NJ a long time ago.
Yup, you hit the nail on the head!
I voted for Lonegan, but I knew that it was a lost cause for the very reasons that you stated.
On another note, when my husband left the polls yesterday, there was a pretty young girl outside with a clipboard asking him if he supported same sex marriage. His answer to her was “are you electioneering?” She was taken aback by this and stepped backwards. He than proceeded to say “of course not!” Would believe this crap. Society isn’t just circling the drain anymore. We are down the damned pipe already!!!!!
