NJEA endorsements

Betcha this is the way it's gonna go for the 12th District GOP straight through the election. 

Gotta love the NJEA. Losing teachers left and right due to underfunding in the suburbs, S-1701, and the 4% tax levy cap...and they still endorse the status quo. Great job representing your members.

and in other news... the sun rose in the East today and will do the same tomorrow.

Yes, they made their token GOP endorsements fully knowing those candidates are going to win and will bow to the NJEA's whims. Sorry Marty0, your Burlington Democrat takeover dreams aren't in the cards.

It's also very telling that they decided to take the moral high ground by standing tall with Joe Coniglio and his hair hat.

Idiots.

It appears the " Pascoe factor" is begining to take its toll on Union endorsements. When Nick Asselta used to speak for himself he came across as a decent moderate Republican. Now that he is under the control of his far right campaign puppetmaster some for the Unions are beginning to take notice. Asselta will not only lose the election but he will lose his good name.

Wow, endorsing Allen in the 7th and Addiego and Rudder in the 8th. Martin must be in a corner in his blue pajamas sucking his thumb. No not because of the announcement, thats just what he does on Thursday mornings before he drinks his Kool-aid.

Sometimes the absolute silence is deafening Diane allen by 10%

More Cowbell Please !!

That was a really nice effort in your last post trying to say "better served with mostly Democrats" to sound credible. But when your own personal blog has your statement saying "Stopping the Republican Party and the Radical Right" you become a hypocrit. We all know you are a "flaming" liberal so just stick with that angle. Now go back to sucking your thumb and think of a happy place.

Let me guess, more money for Camden and Newark school districts???

It is interesting that the NJEA has not taken sides in the 23rd district where one of the incumbents has voted no for additional penalties for selling illegal firearms within 1000 ft. of a school. The same Assemblyman has voted against mandatory helmets for children riding scooters and skateboards. He also voted against the local property tax relief of 20% this year. NOW THE BIG QUESTION WHY DID THE NJEA OPENLY SUPPORT THE PEOPLE RUNNING AGAINST HIM?

No! NO! it's more like martin23456789999999 sucking from his Sippie Cup - He's to "young and dumb" to know Kool-Aid.

"RUN FRED RUN" "RUN FRED RUN" "RUN FRED RUN"

"RUN FRED RUN" "RUN FRED RUN" "RUN FRED RUN"

Why do people who disagree with Martin personally attack him. Madmax asserts that Martin is dumb, well he is thought provoking and informed enough to cause most every GOP commenters on this site to filp over what he says. Martin is clearly informed and is able to articulate what he wants to say. He never gets in the muck with those who attack him personally, I give him credit for keeping the debate going on many issues. Next point-Teachers deserve their pay. I am not a teacher, my wife, or parents or in-laws are not teachers so don't come back at me by saying that I must be a teacher. While teachers do spend around 6 hours teaching in class they spend plenty more at home or in their offices or classrooms grading papers, writting lesson plans, attending dances, games, plays...Teachers in NJ start at around $40,000 per year depending on the district and that is not too much. Teachers cannot be corrupt govt cronies, they must be qualified and credentialed professionals. Furthermore, they have to jump through hoops with all of Bush's failed and underfunded No Child Left Behind non-sense. Money can be saved in Education, but only if towns decide to drop the whole home rule thing and alow for County-wide school districts so we can eliminate administrative costs and needless school boards. While my next comment will draw serious fire I'm going to make it. Taxes are out of control because of local Police Departments. Property taxes could be reduced significantly if municiple police departments were eliminated in this state. State Police and County Sherrifs are more than sufficient and municipal police usually have low entry requirments and are bloated with nepotisism and cronie staff. Looks like teachers are the new scape-goat for high taxes-look again everyone it is, has been, and will forevr be home rule.

I am proud that my tax bill largest portion is for Education. Better Education is the solution to the political problems that we discuss on this cite on a daily basis. You can blah blah blah me all you want, but you still cant refute my arguments. I never said I believed all of his arguments, I mearly said he has the decency to keep the debate level elevated, I cant say that for everyone on this cite. As for Fred Thompson I hope he runs, he will have the pleasure of being the first man to lose to a woman for President of the United States.
