Well Mark, hope you remember this in November before telling us that it doesn’t matter and to keep electing RINOs.
Don’t worry Mark. We crushed them in Mississippi :D
Nobody to blame but the voters. They keep electing these turds over, and over and over.....Until the electorate decides to educate itself about the issues and the candidates there will be no end to this. The scary part is that primary voters are supposed to be the committed, involved voters.
“During the course of this campaign, Steve’s newly born grandson, and only grandchild, became extremely ill. He stopped campaigning for some time while caring for his family. In another place and time, a man like this would have easily won a Republican primary.”
Well, no. Not sure what period that was.
Primaries aren’t Affirmative Action for conservatives. You stop running (even for legit reasons) and the other guy isn’t going to just shut down.
Sentimentality isnt going to beat the eGOP let along the Democrats. Either the right goes to war in these things, or you sit down and pipe down.
Yes, it's obviously the fault of the "liberal RINO establishment" that Steve Lonegan lost SIX separate attempts for higher office. Without them, he would have won every single time because he is a brave principled flawless Tea Party savior who never turns off voters and is beloved by all conservatives. And of course, any Republican who dares to run for an office that Steve Lonegan wants is automatically RINO scum, regardless of how conservative their track record and positions are.
Mark - still think we should ‘work wiithin the party’?
Reagan, Lincoln lost many times before winning.
Hopefully Lonegan supporters won’t reward the big govt Republicans with their vote. Let the real lefty win and not the phoney Republican.
I’m sorry but I don’t support Mayor Lonegan. WE NEED NEW FACES. He’s been around at least 15 years and for whatever reason can’t get traction. He’s Maury Sabran with principles and governing experience.
It’s unfortunate because he would bring, what’s that word, gravitas? Principles?
NJ needs a South or Central Jersey, even Northwest Conservative. The North East corner of the state is a sewer.
