Dr. Murray Sabrin will be the W-I-N-N-E-R since he is the...


F-R-O-N-T-R-U-N-N-E-R!

And Dick Zimmer will be the L-O-S-E-R again!

Go Murray Go!

You guys are insane


Not suggesting Zimmer or Pennacchio are good or bad - just stating that the Sabrin people are nuts and complete hypocrites.

How many times must Sabrin lose before he realizes that: A) he lost and therefore cannot sit around and throw rocks from his glass house; and B) that his absolute hatred for all other candidates (and there have been a few too many) comes across as petty and small and is one of the many reasons he will lose again.

BTW, after you lose again, will you promise to please just go away? Thanks in advance.

Let's talk about a loser.


Sabrin got like 5% of the vote when he ran for governor in 1997.

He got about 10% of the vote the last time he ran for the US Senate.

He is the running joke of the GOP with no friends in any wing of the party.

He's an extremist who lose every single count by double digits for the third consecutive time.

Vote Column - All the way!

Please, No Intelligent Candidates For Us!


Yes, let's make fun of Murray Sabrin and his supporters!  Instead, we need a candidate who knows absolutely nothing about the dollar, the Fed, or the housing bubble.  Let's have some hack who -- you can be GUARANTEED -- will change nothing.

Business As Usual '08!  There's a slogan for you!

Incidentally, although you use "paultard" to refer to someone who agrees with the founding fathers on foreign policy, money, states' rights, and the Constitution, there should be a term for you guys, people whose policies are leading the country to bankruptcy but who keep voting for hacks who will deliver more of the same.

More Reason to Support Him


Murray Sabrin has "no friends" in any wing of the corrupt GOP establishment?  Another great reason to support him.

He's an "extremist" for agreeing with the Founding Fathers.  That is all you need to know.

"Murray Sabrin has "no friends" in any wing of the corrupt GOP establishment?"

Has the corruption of the GOP establishment recently happened, or were they corrupt when Sabrin was running around the state looking for lines?

Because if they were corrupt then, well, wouldn't that make Murray corrupt by wanting to be part of the establishment?

Can't have it both ways - wanting to be part of the establishment then crying when no one likes you - and then calling fellow candidates losers for not winning a campaign when you guys lost be double digits.

PLEASE GO AWAY WHEN YOU LOSE - AND TAKE YOUR HATRED WITH YOU!!!

Murrays catching on


Hes the only one getting younger voters excited and involved with the Republican Party. His campaign is a breath of fresh air because it rejects the go-along, get-along political minority-victimization the NJGOP does. The only ones who dont like Murray are hacks for the declining Gilmore-Florio-Wilson triumvurate of idiocy. The public has only just started paying attention, and when they find Murray is the one who fits their beliefs they will rally to him.

Yes, let's make fun of Murray Sabrin and his supporters!

Um, what do you think I've been doing all this time??? I guess you're a little late to the bandwagon, eh?

I'll stop ragging on Murray and his paultard army when they stop making idiots of themsevles and Murray stops putting out asinine press releases every other day.

What's next, a PR about whether Murray prefers his toilet paper hung in the over or underhand fashion???

Yes of Course..


We wouldnt want a Republican who takes definitive conservative stands on the issues of the day. No we much rather take brooms and sweep it clean (courtesy of Doug Forrester and Larry Weitzner) while doing nothing about gross fiscal mismanagement at the state and national level by liberals in both parties.

Yet Another Paultarded Press Release


I just read the latest ridiculous PR that Murray has put out(Why is beyond me).

So now Murray wants Joe Lieberman and/or John McCain to apologize to Barack Obama? For what??? How dare he!? Why, if Murray were relevant, I'd bet they'd be outraged!:-D

Yeah, what a champion of conservative values ol' Murray is.

Quite frankly, I think I would've preferred a PR on how you hang you TP, Murray.

Geez that image fits. "Did you eat paint chips as a kid?" Anyway, "All I need to know" is that Murray ran from the Republican party when he couldn't get his way, got hammered, ran back, got hammered again, and now is trying to become a T-H-R-E-E-T-I-M-E-L-O-S-E-R! Now he is attacking another national figure in Joe Leiberman? Doesn't he know which office he is running for? He attacks our - that is OUR not HIS - party's candidate for President, and then attacks someone from Connecticut? Doesn't he have the time, or the gumption to campaign for the US Senate Senate from N-E-W J-E-R-S-E-Y? Looks like the only L-O-S-E-R here.

Murray Sabrin is running for US Senate and compared to the other candidates, he deserves a shot at winning the Republican nomination and beating Frank Lautenberg or whoever the Dems nominate. Looking at the issues objectively, I think the case for Sabrin is strong. What American is not in favor of fiscal responsibility? Securing our borders? On these two issues alone Sabrin has the other candidates beat by a long shot. As Professor of finance at Ramapo College, Sabrin has the background and desire to bring fiscal responsibility to Washington. Democrats will attack Sabrin for his "manifesto" and try to label him an "extremist", but are Democrats in any position to debate Sabrin on fiscal responsibility, or illegal immigration? Senators Menendez and Lautenberg both supported the failed amnesty bill last year, and we all know what a fiscal mess New Jersey is in. Is there really a downside to electing someone who favors fiscal sanity? We have a failure of leadership in Washington. Every election cycle we hear the same tired phrases, promises of change, etc...We've had a failure of leadership on Iraq, Immigration, Social Security, Medicare and of course runaway spending with a national debt of approximately $9 trillion. We so obviously need fiscal responsibility, but no one wants to address the "heart of the matter" which is the fact that our entire financial system needs an overhaul. Now more than ever the actions of the Federal Reserve Bank are relevant and worthy of questioning. Most people know little about this cloistered institution. They think the Fed is a gov't bank, etc... Since the subprime mortgage crisis hit, the Fed has loaned hundreds of billions of dollars to cash strapped banks with the promise of billions more. The Fed made news in March when it assisted in the $30 billion bailout and subsequent purchase of investment bank Bear Stearns by JP Morgan Chase& Co. The investment house was purchased by JP Morgan Chase but their exposure is only one billion. Taxpayers are at risk for $29 billion. Why the Fed chose to bail out Bear Stearns and why JP Morgan got first dibs on its purchase is unclear. What's also unclear is whether the Fed had legal authority for the bailout. Sabrin has been speaking and writing about the Fed for over thirty years. Here is a letter he wrote that was published in the NY Times back in 1976. All other issues are subservient to the money issue. "Follow the money" the saying goes. Even if it's fiat money! No other candidate is willing to take on the financial power called the Fed. At the very least, we need open, intelligent dialogue on this topic. You will not get it with the other candidates. Imagine how hopeful the future can be if for once the government was changed from party hacks to the people's actual representatives! www.murraysabrin.com

The poll


1) for all the Murray fans out there is very unscientific. There is no way to gage the sample.
2) The poll asks "Who do you think will win the nomination?" not "Who would you like or who is your favorite?" they are very different questions. For example if the poll was who gets the Dem Pres nomination I would answer Barack Obama but if it read who would you like to see win I would answer Hillary

If Jersey Joe's people


don't pull their thumbs out of their ..., Joe could come in third in a low turnout primary.

The issue that most Murray people don't understand is that the "regular" GOP isn't a monolith. We have a suburban/urban fight and those Johnny-come-latelies are clueless to the anti-Wilson feeling in the party.

GOP asleep at the wheel


Sabrin did go off and try give straight talk to McCain and Lieberman, he did keep his eyes off the road and focused on the national race and not what is going on in the Garden State. However, compared Sabrin to other two NJ GOP drones they have been asleep for months regurgitating the same garbage, coasting their way to June and will probably wake up to find either the lobbyist, Beltway-insider Zimmer or former donkey, "Don't Tell Me" Joe the winner. It's too bad that those two haven't a clue of the conservative platform, what it takes to energize this tiny group of NJ Republicans, and will get destroyed again by the Dems. Corruption and NJ go hand and hand and the NJ GOP is no stranger to it, as Zimmer and "Jersey Joe" are clearly part of it machine. Sabrin doesn't want to be part of the "establishment". He wants the establishment to wake up and remember what a Republican should stand for, which is less "establishment". Sabrin better step in to high gear quick and wake the people up about what Republican values are or we will all go back to 6 more years in the doldrums of Donkey ages. The NJ GOP will shrink at accelerated rate & head for exits after this primary. You are seeing it on a national level but Jersey will suffer by their own "establishment" machine.

Sabrin for the win


Unfortunately, the actual primary won't be this easy for Murray. Though, if people actually voted on traditional republican principles - he would win in a landslide. Murray Sabrin, it's an uphill fight - good luck.
