Our question for today is: What does next Wednesday’s Senate election in New Jersey mean to those of us who don’t live in New Jersey?
Lonegan says that if he wins, President Obama will instantly “fold” on health care reform. Actually if Lonegan wins, President Obama will probably faint. Along with a lot of other people, including every Republican senator who has not been yearning for a new friend who’s even crazier than Ted Cruz.
White men of New Jersey, we understand that you’re irked about the way the world is going and that it makes you feel better to tell some person who calls you on the phone, interrupting your dinner, that you’re going to go out and vote for Steve Lonegan, a man who once expressed his view of the social safety net by saying, “I’d hate to see you get cancer, but that’s your problem, not mine.”
But really, white men of New Jersey, get a grip.
It’s theoretically possible that Lonegan could win. Perhaps nobody in New Jersey will remember there’s an election next Wednesday except Lonegan’s immediate family. Then, he’d make history while all the Republicans who are trying to dial their party back from a cliff bang their heads against the wall.

I doubt the people of NJ have the brains or courage to elect anyone other than an Obama go a long.
North Eastern states have long ago given up any hope of producing enough conservatives to elect a real constitutional conservative.
Can’t beat up the black guy and to prove I’m a good person, I’m going to vote for one so I can feel good about myself
They sound a might worried down at The Old Gray Streetwalker of Journalism.
Last year's, "Best in Show" at Westminster, IIRC.
I think it means they’re worried. If Booker’s such a shoe-in..you don’t “waste” you column disparaging his opponent. You ignore him...

“even crazier than Ted Cruz.”
In the dishonest, Orwellian world of MSM reporting “even crazier than Ted Cruz” means intelligent, principled and courageous.
I don’t know anything about this candidate but if this is what the MSM is writing about him he seems to be a good man.
When did Hairy say that he'd hate for you to get cancer?
I remember him saying tough shiite if your kid gets cancer, but not that he'd hate it.
Why is it that American women would prefer the life of a slave under Communism? The tragedy of the 19th Amendment rolls on...
Another racist diatribe by the leftist media.
Speaking of condescension, there are plenty of us New Jerseyans here who are fighting to right this leftward listing ship where we live. You Freepers should be encouraging us, not mocking our state and our efforts.
I’m referrng to the part where the author claims that Lonegan said “that’s your problem, not mine”, the author’s attempt to make him appear heartless and hateful.
Yeah. I feel for you. I’m in California...
I agree, so what’s the problem? I even said, “assuming” that the author isn’t quoting Lonegan out of context, because leftists are liars at best, and I haven’t seen or heard the quote for myself.
Ah. I see. I’m not complaining nor criticizing you! I’m agreeing with you and adding further support and backing for you.
The written word loses so much context and non-verbal cues that I wasn’t being as clear about my intent as I thought I was. Sorry, no offense intended.
No problem. When I finish my coffee, I won’t be so touchy :)
I totally respect the efforts of the conservative underground.
You folks are dealing with generational liberalism and that is hard to beat.
Its besides the point, but Gail Collins has really bad teeth.
The commie toads in the “media” are starting to become concerned. Their boy’s popularity numbers aren’t doing well.
Why do these liberal writers insist on exposing their racism whenever they get mad at us? So now we’re just “white men?” What a slap in the face to any one who loves freedom who isn’t white or a man. That’s telling them to get back on the plantation, sucker. Freedom is only for these people over here. Shameful, yet instructive.
