Jon Runyan Statement on Congressman John Adler Planting a Fraud Tea Party Candidate in NJ-3 Race
Mount Laurel, October 8, 2010 – The following is a statement from Republican congressional candidate Jon Runyan (NJ-3) that was delivered at his 2:00pm press conference.
“Ever since our campaign established links between Congressman John Adler and the fraudulent candidacy of Peter DeStefano, I knew there was a possibility that something much more sinister was going on.
Certainly something unethical. Perhaps even something illegal. Today’s Courier Post story proves that my instincts were right.
What I’m about to say is going to sound harsh. But it’s not out of anger.
It’s out of frustration that politics in our country has become so toxic that the important issues we face have to take a backseat to garbage like this.
My opponent, John Adler, represents everything that is wrong with politics in this country today.
He is dishonest. He lacks principle.
And he’s clearly willing to say or do anything to win re-election and cling to power.
The fact that he and his team would intentionally try to defraud and disenfranchise voters by planting a fake candidate in the race with the intention of confusing people and stealing votes from me is disgraceful.
I would ask for an apology, but frankly, an apology from someone like Congressman Adler would be so meaningless that it’s not worth seeking.
Let me be clear…
I want to win this election and I am working very hard every day to do just that. I am pouring my heart and soul into it.
I want to go to Congress and serve the people of this district and make a difference in my community and in my country.
However, win or lose, I want to go home to my wife and three kids at night and be able to look them in the eye and have them be proud of who I am and how I conduct myself.
THAT is the difference between me and politicians like John Adler.
I’ve said it one form or fashion since the day I got in this race…
If we want to change this country, we need to change the people who run it.
It’s not about Democrat or Republican. It’s about the person.
And this whole affair proves John Adler is not the right person to represent this district.”

This is the type of story Hannity would usually be on top of. Runyan would definitely make a colorful guest on Hannity’s show.
You didn’t request anything from me in terms of information. You requested it from another poster, I saw it, and I replied.
Duh!
I’d tell you to piss off as well, but I am holding out because there may still be hope for you.
Then you admit you read the post, which was a nice request, jumped in on something not even directed to you, and wrote a nasty post to another freeper.
You are an even bigger jerk than you first appeared to be.
Thank you.
Yep. If the tables were turned, it would be on national media 24/7 for three days. But since it was done to a pub candidate, he’ll have to spend his own money to get the word out through ads.
I am so sick and tired of this crap. These people should be charged with voter fraud and civil rights violations, perp-walked through the town square, and then sued civilly by every voter in that district.
If there’s video or even just audio of the rats hatching their plan regarding DeStefano, Runyan could use it in a campain ad.
Likewise. Enjoy FR, FRiend!
I like your statement almost as much as Runyon’s. Can’t stand FR nazis. You are right: you did ask a very simple and civil question. And it did not deserve that egregious response.
This pisses me off. Even though it’s just after midnight here, found my credit card & I just gave Jon Runyan $50 at
C’mon Freepers don’t let the Dems get away with this kind of crap. Please Give Runyan some dough. If it’s bad enough dirty trick by Runyan’s slimy dem opponent to be noticed by the lefty media, it’s worse than usual campaign tactics.

Synopis of issue-Democratic staffers working for first-term Dem Congressman John Adler from NJ-3 got a fake “NJ Teaparty” candidate Peter DeStefano on the ballot to try to undercut GOP candidate Jon Runyan and these dems are still running DeStefano website. Courier Post Newspaper has numerous quotes from DEMOCRATIC staffers unhappy with this tactic and no real denials from the involved staffers.

“He should challenge him to a fist fight for the seat. It deserves nothing less.”
Pistols at dawn would be more satisfying.
Don’t forget Dingy Reid’s puppet Scott Azzkissican running as a “Tea Party” candidate against Sharon Angle in Nevada.
This little trick by the rats is getting old.
GREAT JOB, RUNYON.
A 10 year starter in the NFL better have a nice house, or I would think something is wrong with him. It's not like he inherited a trust fund.
Adler and these scumbag Dims are thoroughly disgusting, I hope the voters in that district learn the TRUTH in this matter and send Runyan in with an overwhelming victory.
