Porn Politics in the McGreevey Campaign?  Major McGreevey strategist and fund-raiser represented pornography industry coalition

(WEST ORANGE, OCTOBER 5) - Schundler for Governor campaign manager Bill Pascoe, responding to State Democrat Chairman Joe Roberts’ comments regarding Republican gubernatorial nominee Bret Schundler’s support from conservative donors, today issued the following statement: 

"Joe Roberts has a point -- we’ve received contributions from New Jersey, and all over the country, from people who believe that taxes should be cut, families should be safe, parents should have more control over their children’s education, and open space should be preserved. We apologize if it seems our fund-raising has been slanted to what Joe calls the ‘right-wing’ side -- and in order to address this properly, I’m putting out a call here and now for more ‘left-wingers’ www.bret2001.com -- and contribute online right now. 

"There is, however, one group of people we don’t really want contributions from -- the pornography industry, and those who represent it as lobbyists. One such individual is John Torok, a Trenton insider and special interest lobbyist who serves as one of Jim McGreevey’s key strategists and fundraisers. 

"According to documentation from the Election Law Enforcement Commission, in 1994 John Torok registered to lobby for an organization called the ‘Coalition for the Preservation of the First Amendment.’ The lobbying registration form filled out by Mr. Torok indicates that the Coalition ‘is comprised of a number of adult type businesses whose principal place of business is New Jersey,’ and further indicates that the businesses ‘are concerned with legislation that if passed, might infringe upon their First Amendment rights.’ 

"We’re wondering exactly what restrictions or infringements have the pornographers concerned? Maybe Jim McGreevey’s porn lobbyist buddy thinks we should have zero restrictions, and allow porn peddlers to conduct business next to schools, synagogues, churches and mosques? Who knows? 

"Just as importantly, though, what do some of Jim McGreevey’s OTHER allies -- say, the National Organization for Women -- have to say about his support from a porn industry lobbyist? Seeing as how Jim McGreevey is gladly accepting money raised by a man who once made money off the intentional subjugation of women for sexual purposes, I think it’d be very interesting to ask the Patricia Irelands, Ellie Smeals, and Kate Michelmans of the world what THEY think. Wouldn’t it? 

"One final point -- any comparison of the average contribution to the two campaigns shows a very clear distinction. Our average contribution is about $350; Jim McGreevey’s average contribution is about four times that much. Regular working folks -- who are taxed WAY too highly in this state -- don’t have anywhere NEAR the money to contribute to politics as the special interest fat cats supporting Jim McGreevey. But once Bret Schundler becomes Governor, and his tax cuts are in place, that situation will be remedied. Help is on the way!"

If anything, Bret and his campaign staff sure have a good sense of humor.

We're inching towards McGreevey. In about two weeks, Bret surged 10 percentage points in the polls. If he keeps up, he will have surpassed McGreevey before the conclusion of the month.

Please support Bret! Up top, on the left-hand navigation bar, there is a button that will allow you to contribute to the campaign. Apparently, it seems that each dollar donated (to a certian limit) is matched 2-1 by the State of New Jersey (e.g. $100 becomes $300, etc.) Please help us out -- this may be our only chance to keep New Jersey from forever slipping into the liberal abyss!

Go Bret GO!

[ThePoetsRaven]

Bada-Bing and a ping.

I'm telling all my friends and relatives in New Jersey to contribute to, and to vote for this great guy.

PS..they will without me telling them. It just feels soooooooo good.

[BigWest]

Great Article!
Thanks for keeping us up to date!
I'm not in NJ, but can recognize a future national leader when I see him/her.I only wish I was there to help.

If I get elected governor.... FREE PORN FOR EVERYONE!!!!!

"Just as importantly, though, what do some of Jim McGreevey’s OTHER allies -- say, the National Organization for Women -- have to say about his support from a porn industry lobbyist?

Unfortunately N.O.W. (or N.A.G.) is more than happy with the porn industry as it destroys the family.

None the less,
AtaBoy Bret!

"Help Is The Way!" And more funds have been sent to help Bret Schundler! GO BRET GO!

[clikker]

You're welcome. When there's good news about, I've just got to let the people know!

McGreevey's now within striking distance. Combine that with the fact that NJ voters are unusually undecisive until the last minute, and Bret being (to quote a whiny Democrat) "tall, handsome, and having good hair" (to reel in the soccer moms, et al, with God's blessing), and Bret's got a great shot at winning this thing. Just keep up your spirit!

Go Bret GO!

A Go Bret Go Bump. Clik, please add me to your Schundler Flag list. I can't wait until the debates... all 4 of 'em. Schundler comes accross as extremely polished, and McGreevey looks like the little shifty eyed mealy mouthed Florio clone that he is.

[jwalsh07]

I just sent Schundler another 100 from Ct. I want him to beat that sorry SOB McGreevey so bad, I can taste it.

Let not your heart be troubled, my friend. Your support is worth more to us than you'd know.

Think of a large brick tower. Although the tower may seem impressive, without each individual brick, there'd be no tower. Every supporter across the fruited plain is a brick. Together, we are a tower, an awe-inspiring, unstoppable force of electoral power.

If you're one of the geographically-challenged, and would like to help, here's what you can do: you can contribute a few dollars to the campaign (remember the brick analogy -- every dollar counts; plus, I think that the State of New Jersey is matching every donation 2-1 -- $20 is turned into $60, and so forth!) -- click here: to donate; and/or, you can call up any relatives or friends you may have in Joisey and pressure them to vote for Bret. Every vote counts!

Thanks again so much for your support! Having support from everwhere in the country is very, very heartwarming!

Go BRET GO!

Don't give McGreevey any ideas -- that might actually work!...     :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The people from everywhere are supporting us -- this race is being turned into a referendum for conservatism. And our side's gaining velocity at a rapid rate!

This one may very well come down to the wire, although I'm hoping for a landslide. Every vote counts!

Doesn't it feel good to support a real conservative, to be *for* someone, instead of being *against* someone else? It's just so refreshing!

Go BRET GO!

[Seeking the truth]

When will the good citizens of New Jersey find out that McGreevey is a closet homosexual? It's a fact but also a secret.

No examples? Darn.
