Lonegan joins PoliticsNJ.com

The addition of Mayor Lonegan will be of great benefit to the site. He will draw greater readership and enhance debate in this State. I believe everyone would agree that increased debate is needed, and beneficial. The Mayor is very knowledgeable on the issues and can express his viewpoints (whether you agree with them or not) in an articulate and fact based manner.

As for calling him a bigoted blowhard, if that means someone who stands for Freedom and the American way ... that is not a bad thing. Mr. Anonymous' rhetoric is just another example of the leftists in this state who grandstand on emotion and anger without factual support.

 Good luck Steve Lonegan.

As a supporter of Mayor Lonegan I am extremely pleased at the news of his addition to the site. Mayor Lonegan IS infact the conservative standard bearer in New Jersey today because he earned the right to be. He has done so by touring the state and championing traditional conservative values such as small government, lower taxes, education reform and is the only republican on the political scene injecting any passion and/or sense of urgency into these critical issues.

Those who label Mayor Lonegan a bigot or an ineffective Mayor are simply ignorant and incapable of holding an intelligent debate. Mayor Lonegan cares deeply about Bogota and has infact done an excellent job and has served three terms as a result. He is fed up with rising costs caused by fiscal irresponsibility in Trenton which results in tax increases on a municipal level. He also takes it personally when a corporation racially profiles his hispanic residents by putting up a billboard in Spanish, assuming that they don't know English. Naturally, left wing special interest groups like Garden State Equality and the Latin American Democratic Association, who twist the facts by telling you their version of the story to benefit their own personal and political agendas which will in turn, cost you even more of your tax dollars would have you believe such vitriol.

I welcome Mayor Lonegan wholehartedly and look forward to his future posts. I must say, I'm liking the new PoliticsNJ more and more.
