Showdown at the courthouse: Kelly and Myers meet on the pavement

Congrats South Jersey! This is the first time in weeks we've actually heard from Chris MYERS and not Chris RUSSELL! Joe Schmo voter now knows who is running for Congress. Mind you he's still a member of the corrupt Burlington County Republican organization. I think the article earlier today on this site tells you which crooks are funding his campaign!

But hey it looks like Chris Myers has a history of being a no show! The mans got a record of missing 25% percent of the meetings as Mayor/Councilman! And a note to Myers, if were talking about taking taxpayers dollars, PLEASE RETURN THE MONEY THE MEDFORD GOVERNMENT PAID YOU FOR THE 25% OF MISSED MEETINGS! Is Chris Myers delusional? The man makes 250K + bonuses (of which I'm sure he doesn't pay taxes on) a year compared to Kelly's 30K, and he tells Kelly hes out of touch with the everyday voter.

With every waking day the Myers campaign just gets more and more comical and sad. Can't wait to see the garbage they come up with come June 3rd!

Just so there is no confustion, Jack Kelly knows that Kelly will lose, and Adler knows that Adler will lose to Myers.

Chris Myers, who makes $250,000 or more off the federal tax dollar, has the nerve to question someone making $30k per year, while serving the public. If you want to get technical Myers is a double dipper, taking tax dollars from Lockheed and from Medford.

and if you think about it Myers could be considered a thief, he stole 25% of his Medford salary while not showing up for work.
He missed budget votes to be in DC lobbying officials and making donations to Lautenberg.

Medford spending increased 45% under Myers and he has one of the highest tax rates in Burlington County. Where did the Burlington GOP find this loser hack??

This Myers guy is far from a Conservative and all Republicans should say NO to him and his corrupt team of Paulsen and DeMarco on June 3.

I do not live in the third district, and i am not a plant for either candidate. I am just a concerned republican. Now that i have said that, we need to support Chris Myers for the nomination. Myers has the resources to hold onto the seat, the backing of the current congressman, and a strong understanding of business and the economy (which is desperately needed). If the democrats didnt target this seat id say Kelly would be ok (the district leans R), but Kelly loses to Adler without $$$ (especially with Obama on the ticket). We need MONEY and Message, not some political hack who couldnt win a competitive election if his life depended on it.

because of they are better than the Democrat? Why do we allow ourselves to keep voting for a bad choice, just BECAUSE?

Neither of these candidates is good for the public. NEITHER ONE! There is a third choice! If you all would get your acts in gear and actually back the BEST choice, there could be real change.

Both Kelly and Meyers have added to the dismal economy in their respective positions. NEITHER one has benefitted their constituents because THEY owe their positions to their political bosses!

How about DEEPWATER? Lockheed Martin has taken MILLIONS of federal dollars to create 8 totally unseaworthy vessels for the Coast Guard. They have taken MILLIONS of dollars for anti-terrorist "improvements" on Coast Guard vessels and still theses vessels are left vulnerable. Do you really want this man (Myers) in charge of steering more MILLIONS down a "rat hole"? That is WASTED money.

And Myers sure did hit the nail on the head with Kelly. CREATED positions! Taking money from one public sector job's health benefits, while receiving public health benefits from the other elected position. Using the people's money to benefit himself over and over again.

If you all are happy continually voting in people that have records to prove they are not in it for the people, then you have no reason to bellyache when your taxes keep going up, and you can't afford to live in New Jersey anymore.

How bout you all get a brain and start thinking for yourselves, and NOT the group mentality!

Justin Murphy, the ONLY real people's choice!

Well, except for the $34,000 cash for not taking health care coverage at the SJTA.

Pig at the trough. Kelly makes Wayne Bryant look like an amateur.

“A reporter asked Kelly what voters will think, especially if they're struggling to pay their own health insurance. "I think they'll say, "You worked hard; you earned a living. You have a right to earn a living,' " Kelly said.”

Really Jack? Do you think the taxpayers that have footed your hefty salary and pension/health benefits as a Freeholder and then in ALL the other government jobs will appreciate that you essentially stole $34K in taxpayer dollars to not take public health care even though you really do in your other government job?

You think they will be “ok” with that knowing that they are not sure how they can continue to live in NJ with all the expenses that fat cat politicians like you continue to cause?

And, by the way, why is your salary as an OC Freeholder $30K when it is only $20K next door in Burlington County?

Pig at the trough…

Chris Myers is so qualified to be a Congressman (the Navy record particularly) that there is no need to even mention his opponents. Attacking Kelly just gives him free publicity, when the Myers biography alone is enough to win.

Going over the recent postings and watching the above video in its entirety (13 minutes I will never get back), I have to wonder if there is a Kelly-Norcross connection?

Too many coincidences happened yesterday.

Started with the press announcement that Myers was going to nail Kelly for his patronage job at the SJ Airport and his taking money for not taking health benefits.

Right before the press conference, Norcross puppet Perr issues a statement asking Myers to give back money from Paulsen.

Then Kelly shows up at the press event that Myers was holding to further provide a distraction and coincidentally the question that Perr posed was asked of Myers at the event.

Seems to me that Norcross, Perr and Kelly all have a similar goal - get rid of Chris Myers. Do you think that Kelly is so desperate he would be coordinating with Camden just to get through the Primary?

Seems like a stretch - but is it? "The enemy of my enemy if my friend."

Let's keep an eye out for more "coincidences."

No wonder Chris Myers believes the economy is "basically strong." The mans making $250K a year plus bonuses. Come back to reality Chris, middle class America doesn't make big corporate bucks like you do. You say that the economy is "basically strong", I say you're "basically out of touch" with the 3rd district.

It just gets better. Thanks for the laugh Jack. Your latest press release calls into question whether Myers was reimbursed for contributions he gave to Republican candidates. A few things - are you insinuating that the largest private employer in the District is committing a crime? Because it is illegal to reimburse an employee for giving a campaign contribution. Better have your facts straight. And did you get reimbursed for your contributions to federal candidates? Oh wait! That is right. According to the FEC, you have NEVER given to a Republican candidate for federal office. NEVER! You had all that money from the job you weren't qualified for, the health care you opted out of and the promotions you didn't deserve. Don't you think you could have put a pen to a check and sent it to at least Chris Smith for his re-election efforts? Then you would look like such a hypocrite. By the way, love the fact that it took you less than a month to go back on your promise to wage a clean, positive campaign. If hypocrisy were bliss, you'd be the happiest person in the OC.
