GOP piles on Bodine, as Dems cry "Boss"

Perr's only comeback is Dawn and Scott were seen with Paulsen? Wow - talk about weak.

Bodine is confronted by the media (not Republicans) for abusing his office for personal gain (which is well documented) and Perr's only response is someone saw Glen and a couple of candidates in the same area?

When Perr stops profiting from his position and stops putting corrupt politicians up for office - then maybe people will take him seriously.

How can anyone vote for people like tracy riley and chris fifis?? We know Riley is a IMHO a disgusting person for making money off of illegal terrorist and is desperate to claw her way to the top regardless of who she hurts. Fifis, well, he is just too stupid to stand up and realize his ticket is so utterly flawed! Of course that sawed off little hack Perr has no choice to try to defend his man; but remember, perr like Marty has slammed Bodine for the past year untilo he became a dem, and now what do they do to protect him?? So what do they do?? They try to make an issue over Addiego's neglect to pay a personal bill! lololol These are stupid evil people and I think more is coming down the pike about the dem ticket shortly

More Cowbell Please !!

District 8 Republican senate candidate Phil Haines on Bodine: "He has said he fails to see anything wrong with using his reputation and his official position to help companies who pay him to secure contracts from government agencies."

If Haines, Addiego and Rudder, the latter of whom raised taxes enormously while Medford mayor, followed their own advice, perhaps Capehart and Scatchard, Boss Paulsen's firm, wouldn't have gotten lucrative contracts while the first two were freeholders; the Burlington County Bridge Commission, with whom they made multiple contracts for non-existent services, costing taxpayers at least $2.7 million; and the BurlCo slush fund to nowhere, which means more bonds and higher taxes, wouldn't have been created by the Republican freeholders.

Being lectured by these three on ethics and pay-to-play is like being lectured by Tom DeLay on clean government.

It just gets better doesn't it? Maybe someone should muzzle Fran and Rick. They aren't helping their cause. And maybe people who live in Camden County should worry about the ethical behavior of their own corrupt county government first.

Is that any different than Norcross meeting with Adler or any other Democrat? Give me a break.

I forget the exact postings - but I distinctly remember how Martin was offended when someone stated that Adler was close to Norcross. Martin jumped up and down and asked anyone to provide proof that Adler was in cahoots with Norcross.

Please allow today's CP and Adler's own words prove that Norcross owns Adler and the rest of the greater Camden County politicians...

"It was Adler's 1991 campaign that made Norcross a statewide political player. In that year, Norcross bankrolled the first big-money legislative campaign, airing surprise attack television ads the week before the election.

With his campaign financed, in part, with a $200,000 loan from Commerce Bank, Adler defeated longtime Republican state Sen. Lee Laskin. He was the only Democrat to defeat an incumbent Republican that year, when voters were angry with then-Gov. Jim Florio's $2.8 billion tax hike.

Adler has announced he's running for Congress next year, taking on popular Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Saxton, R-N.J. Norcross' proven ability to raise millions in campaign funds and win elections will be important to Adler's chances.”

"He has been enormously successful at helping elect quality Democratic candidates throughout New Jersey," Adler said, "and I'm hopeful he will continue to play a role in recruiting and electing good candidates."

Puke! People are absolutely clueless. It is not about electing quality candidates, it is about electing people to do Norcross’ bidding.

Bodine and Bark ripped off Burlington County for years and Norcross has been doing same to Camden County. Now, with the recent purchase of Bodine's soul, Norcross hopes to expand in Burlington - And Martin can't wait - pathetic!

The reason why people go after you is because you have no idea what you are talking about. First, I know for a fact it was COL Mike Warner who pushed Martha out. Yup, it is a fact. Second, your continued listing of individuals and groups other than Abramoff as corrupt is not only false, it is wrong. When will you call for those Democrats who received money from Halliburton to return those donations (they were legally given by the way)? When was Tom DeLay found guilty? Oh he wasn't. And what did John Boehner do? Come on Marty. Come back to Earth. And you obviously have no clue what you are talking about when you put Saxton in Paulsen's camp. The two are hardly friends. I have still yet to hear you call on Pallone and Menendez to return the money from Norman Hsu. And if you want to talk about corruption, I think I have the State of New Jersey Democrat Caucus roster in my top desk drawer from last session. I guess I could just list them all - every third one has been indicted on some charge. Remember - you were the one who said an indictment is akin to finding someone guilty. PS - as I have stated before, Saxton received nearly twice as much money from individuals than PACs. By why let facts get in your way again?

Marty - you are crossing a line here. You constantly complain about ad hominem attacks, yet turn around and do it yourself. What do they call that? Ah, yes - it is called hypocrisy. Let's get to the last paragraph first. I don't give a rat's butt what you think, care, or fantasize of when you think of me (see I can revert back to the old days just like you). I had many conversations with COL Warner before, during and after the push to rid the county ticket of Martha Bark occurred. It was just before DeMarco was sent packing and Bodine was given the heave-ho. And why do you think she was a political liability? Because of ethics and the fact that the county organization at the time saw a better way of keeping the seat. Talk about waking up. Now, you may frown on Democrats who are politically unethical, but you have yet to take the same steps you have taken with Saxton, Ferguson, and LoBiondo and call Pallone or Menendez out on accepting money from Hsu and his associates. This guy made Jack Abramoff look like a boy scout. A million in contributions. So, here is your chance - show everyone here that you are an equal opportunity ethics saint and tell Pallone and Menendez (directly and not beating around the bush) to return the tainted money from Hsu. As for Saxton, he (Ferguson and LoBiondo) returned or donated the money they received from Abramoff and his crew. And until Tom DeLay is found guilty, the money received by him is legal. Same goes with Halliburton - and the Democrats who received campaign contribution from Halliburton who you refuse to call out. I am surprised that you are not more concerned with the campaigns of Sen. Menendez and Jessie Jackson Jr. who received money from Sharpe James; or, Susan Bass Levin who received money from Wayne Bryant (both to her congressional campaign and her PAC); or Jon Corzine, the DSCC and NJ Democrat State Committee who rceived money from John Lynch; and finally, Sen. Lautenberg who took campaign cash from Robert Janiszewski. Besides all four of those men being corrupt and Democrats, know what else they have in common? None of their money was returned by those campaigns mentioned.

It is true that Col. Warner did push Bark into retirement and caused Bodine to catapult himself into the Democratic camp-- he would not support them because of their ethics problems. Warner wanted clean candidates that would be interested in public service. And that is precisely why Warner got the boot, and we all know who's foot was inside of that boot. Now that the likes of Paulsen, Layton, Russell et al are running the show, good 'ol boy politics is back in Burlington County. Who do you think was going to get the work for the Bridge Commission aka Burlington Bank? It's a good thing Bill Haines has a brass set, whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, you have to be grateful for this guy because he single-handedly stopped the scheme in its tracks.
