Bill and Hillary Clinton actively campaigned for Chelseas MIL, but Marjorie Margolies lost her Democratic primary bid for Congress. Her opponent 37 y/o Brendan Boyle, a state legislator who raised the least amount of money and lacked powerful Democrat connections lead Margolies by a whopping 58.5% to 22.4%, per AP projections.
..... fem/libbers---EMILYs List and NARAL Pro-Choice America---mounted attacks on Boyles anti-abortion voting record. He will face Republican Dee Adcock in the safe-Democratic district November.
Bill Clinton headlined a fundraiser, and made an ad, and a robo-call on Margolies' behalf. Hillary headlined a posh fundraiser, which the ex-congresswoman did not attend.
... one report exposed that Margolies doubled her salary as head of a small, largely taxpayer-funded charity [Women's Campaign International] into the six figures as her then-husband Ed Mezvinsky faced charges, and was ultimately convicted and jailed, for fraud while succumbing to multiple Nigerian scams.

I’m not surprised; he hasn’t wavered in his support for life. Like George W. Bush, I think he is an imperfect but well-meaning man.
Christie passed on his victorious MO to Republican leaders who are now religiously using the tactic......
.......which is, to give pro-life/ pro-family groups a tongue-lashing every now and then.

BACKTORY Corzine bragged he had 20,000 paid union feet on the ground election day. And get this, the Obama WH was orchestrating the Corzine effort---signing off on strategy, Biden and Obama appeared in NJ several times for Corzine and made costly TV ads for him.
Obama was desperate for Corzine to get reelected. Obama pulled out all the stops to get Corzio reelected b/c the newly-elected president needed Jon to advance his agenda.....to no avail.
<><>Obama had his WH "geniuses" take full control of Corzines campaign.
<><>Obama campaigned in NJ three times, Biden was there twice.
<><>Obama pro-Corzio TV ads ran relentlessly on costly NY media.
<><>Obama put the power of the WH political machine behind Corzine.
The NY Times reported:
(a) every TV ad Corzine put on the air was being screened by Obamas WH geniuses.
(b) Corzines aides gave the WH daily briefings.
(c) Obamas pollsters took over for Corzines polling team, and,
(d) White House operatives were on the ground for internal strategy sessions.
(e) Obama sent NJ $17.2 billion "stimulus" which promptly disappeared.
(f) secret strategy sessions were held to suckup the latino vote;
(g) a Peruvian PAC endorsed Corzine.
(H) Corzio bragged he had 20,000 paid operatives (union members) on the ground election day, paid to get out the vote in heavily Democrat NJ.
Corzine (former Goldman-Sachs exec) lost handily. Corzine's NJ loss and VA win were the only two 2009 n'wide races held---and both elected Repubs.
I remember 2009 well; what really hurt Corzine was that he turned on state workers who had helped elect him (he had no choice; the state was bankrupt, so layoffs were inevitable). He lost a segment of gubmint gibsmedats, and once Christie was in office wielding his tax-cutting axe he was unbeatable. In his last election the Dems didn’t even try; to pretend he needed the support of the mayor of Fort Lee (as the fake scandal indicates) is absurd...
Oh, okay. I wondered why I couldn’t remember this, then I noticed it was in December 2009 — a bad time for me.
Anyway, no wonder this country is in trouble — electing people like this, probably more often than we know.
This is just plain sad:
***In an interview with Des Moines Register from prison in 2003, Mezvinsky said he found the Nigerian Black Ink scam convincing. “The Nigerian man came out with a chemical, threw it on the money, and it all turned to $100 bills. He gave me 10 to have them tested back home. And they were real,” Mezvinsky told the Register.***
He didn’t con his friends and family knowingly. No, he only wanted to let them in on a great investment opportunity — a magic money man from Nigeria. He can’t possibly believe his own BS.
It’s most assuredly NOT sad.
Its unnerving to think this greedy, gullible, stupid Democrat was making laws in our Congress.
God only knows what this braindead Democrat swallowed—and voted for—for his glory of his party.
We, the people, have to live w/ the results of his ignorance for years to come.
What you said is all true. I didn’t think I needed to stress that for anyone’s benefit here, and definitely not to you, so please forgive me for not doing so.
It certainly is sad to me that he was able to con people as he did — including voters — and then tried to continue the con with that statement. A blatant attempt of trying to convince the parole board of his insanity? Then to carry on with the con? I believe so. That was my point.
Unfortunately, the evil man procreated.
