Rothman seeks contribution from Myers
By Wally EdgeDemocratic Rep. Steve Rothman is soliciting GOP congressional candidate Christopher Myers for a contribution to his re-election campaign. Noting that Myers said he wrote a $500 personal check to Sen. Frank Lautenberg's re-election campaign because they share similar views on Israel. Rothman says he also has a strong record supporting Israel.
But here’s a question for Rothman: is he willing to contribute to Myers to help assure additional support for Israel?

Ughhh No
John Adler is a tremendous advocate for Israel. Always has been and always will be.
funnier
than anything tornoe has drawn, said or thought.
you have to admit, this is pretty good. considering how intense jersey politics can get and how heated even exchanges on this site can be, this is somewhat refreshing. i hope rothman gets the donation, i'd like to see him around for a couple more terms.
haha good 4 J-Date
I love this!
But
How many times has Adler been to Israel to actively work on defense like Myers?? Myers goes to Israel to help with defense and any military needs that are necessary.
But, bottom line, Adler has a piss-poor record like his buddy Robby on military and defense. When all is said and done, the truth will prevail.
More Cowbell Please !!
Strange Bedfellows
As a life longe republican, this is pretty funny...
