This just in... corruption exists in both the the Democratic and Republican parties.
Who knew?
-
The deadline for replacing Torricelli on the ballot has passed, but Democrats plan to turn to the courts to replace him.
This has a familiar ring to it. ;)

!!!! Crooked Politicians ????????? :eek: :eek:
Like Sandman said, who'd a thunk it?
I'm not really in favor of a one-sided race. I think the folks ought to have a choice.
However.... you knew there'd be a "however" didn't ya?
There's this:
"The laws of the state of New Jersey do not include a 'we think we're going to lose so we get to pick someone new' clause."
Have to wonder how much THAT figured into the play, even though they were late out of the gate realizing they were in deep with this guy.
So, we're back to responsibilty/accountability again. They went with him knowing he had "problems" and now they got bit in the butt on it.
Guess there's always the "write-in" option but realistically that's not a viable option, given the way a US election works.
So, while I'm sympathetic to at least a two-party race, I think I'm going to have to say "ya shoulda thought about that a little earlier...... say like before the deadline to replace him".
OK, cleared in hot with your flamethrowers. :D
BTW, before you start lighting up, I'd say EXACTLY the same thing if this was a Republican in this situation.
Just one of the differences between me and Decem Ursus.

Yeah, Toad. In fact I doubt a large segment of the electorate is capable of even operating a voting machine, let alone actually being able to write someone's name down as a write in candidate.
BTW, I didn't waste my time on reading the link. For the most part politicians make me sick to my stomach.

i demand a recount to look for dimpled chads

yep, both sides have corrupt politicians
but..
in the last 6 months how many dumbacrats have been booted compared to republicans? hmmm

Are you saying they are getting tossed because they do not have a corrupt dumacrat president to hide behind anymore?
-
I think a replacement candidate should be named. Not because I might be a registered Dem, but because the people should have a valid choice.
And I would feel this way if a Republican had pulled out also.
-
MT, you're talking about changing the rules after the game started.
Not a good precedent, I think. Of course, it might depend on what your definition of "is" is. ;)
-
They have a valid choice they can write in anyone they want.
They guy backed out because it was clear he was losing. Forget the corruption implications.
He quit because he was gonna lose. The law should not be manipulated under these circumstances.
I would be more sympathetic if a candidate died suddenly, or an illness prevented him from continueing to campaign but to quit just because your going to lose is not a good precedent.
Dont lie to us about your concern for choice, if you are concerned about choice email the guy and tell him not to quit. Hes the one taking away the "choice". Only because the polls indicate folks arent "choosing" him.

Incredible.. Wotan's a Psychic!
What else am I thinking Wotan? Tell me what I'm thinking right now. Which finger am I holding up?
-
Republicans tend to keep their shades drawn, although there is seldom
any reason why they should. Democrats ought to, but don't.

Where did I say I read your mind? I did say you are lying about your concern for choice. This is based on your posting history. Those voters in NJ have a choice even with out a democrat on the ticket. They can write in whom ever they want and you know that.
If you dont like it, dont lie.
-
I can't believe anyone is defending going to court to replace the candidate after the deadline. This is wrong on so many levels.

Oh so, now you can tell I'm lieing based on my posting history? Please break this down for me. I can't wait to see your logical conclusions.
BTW, I wasn't lieing, just so you know.
(funny Eagler, maybe I was decorating it for Wotan :p )

Regarding the deadlines. Many of these election regulations are outdated and based upon a time when travel and communication were much more difficult. 5 weeks is sufficient for a run at the Senate. Why not replace the candidate? Other than because we have an arbitrary deadline.

Why not change the voting process when the votes are being counted? ;)

LAW.....
Don't like the deadline, change it before the election. The torch should have known this. He should have quit 2 weeks ago, but he thought he could hide his corruption just a little bit longer.
oops....
1 more republican in the Senate :D

That's SOOO 2000 Rip, that's not trendy anymore. Unless they go retro on us, again.
-
because you are so liberal that you would never support this if it was a republican. Not that I care this is problem for NJ.
That and the fact the voters in NJ have a choice, they can write in whom ever they want. You know this. They have all the "choice" they need.
funny Eagler, maybe I was decorating it for Wotan
How old are you mt, 50?
-
So you would be for replacing the Rep. candidate because of your conservative views as posted? Come on. Don't lie!
Idiotic.
I'm old enough to know what I'm dealing with in you Wotan.

Big difference between Age and Maturity.

LOL.
So I make a crack about nose picking and I'm immature? hehee!
You guys are a work. IIRC it was a response to an immature remark. I wanted to make sure it was directed at a level they would understand. Go back and look. Maybe remove the blinders. Perhaps the glare from your beemer's paint job, or Wotans jack boots are getting in the way?
-
Jack boots? Now resorting to typical Liberal replies...doesn't it ever get old? ;)
(Incidently, forgot a ;) at the end of my post, even though your views are distorted, and your political thought process warped, I'd still have a beer with ya Tahgut! :) )
-
well I am not a conservative. So you really have no idea of
I'm old enough to know what I'm dealing with in you Wotan
I may not be a leftist liberal but find a post from me that shows I am a conservative.
Basically, you are just lying again. You are just making stuff up.
You are lying about your concern for "choice" and you are quick to pull out the insults. Its typical of you.
Whats idiotic is you trying to pass off your concern for choice. Those voters have a choice. More then just republican and democrat, or liberal and conservative.
-
I wear sandles btw...... Nice quality pair of Jesus Cruisers. It has to do with the heat.
-
I wasn't thinking 'conservative' at all when I wrote that Wotan.
And Rip, NP bud, I'll even buy.

While I agree wholeheartedly with folks deserving a choice, I think the question that is most relative here is, who let the people down in this particular situation?
I believe he bowed out because he hides even more which could place him in deeper water and he fears discovery of the same.
It's not about Dems or Reps, it's about character.

the NJ dumbacrats have a "choice" of anyone they want
all they have to do is write in the name, which would bring up spelling issues :rolleyes:
Keeping in the latest spirit of the dumbacratic party, may I suggest one:

ROTFLOL Eagler! Just watched GF1 last nite.:)

What does this say above?
Basically you were lying. I did a search on some your posts. When ever you have a disagreement you respond the exact same way.
Not just to me, I called you on that before, but to anyone.
Rip may have added a little wink icon but he is correct 100%
Jack boots? Now resorting to typical Liberal replies...doesn't it ever get old?
-
Really? I respond the same way? Typical Wotan... you don't have a clue yet you claim you have proof.
I wonder how often I have quoted something from http://www.whitestruggle.net to prove one of my points? Wotan? You seem to know the site pretty well.
-
I invoke Godwin's Law. This thread is over. ;)
-
Again you are lying, where have I quoted anything from that site.
You lied in this thread thats proof enough.
I know it and you know it so you resort to this petty bs that has been typical of your personality.
Folks can search for your response in other threads, hell there is another active thread right now where you throw about "hitler" and "nazis" etc.........
You are a simple liar.

No.
Well Maybe.
Ask Wotan.
He'll ask Voss.
Then we'll get the straight poop.

Your level of wit is beyond me, so excuse my question....
Why would I ask Voss?

Cool, now we can call laws arbitrary and not pay attention to them if they are inconvienent to us.......hmmm..Burglary and Robbery Laws are so arbitrary.....We shouldn't follow them...
Sexual Harrassment laws aren't meant to be applied to the Chief Executive...let's not follow it....Perjury laws...heh, that's for other suckers to follow.
MT,
While I may agree with that law being arbitrary, the fact is this...
It is in place, everyone knows about it and it is not onerious (sp?). Changing them in mid-stream because 1 party defaults after the deadline is NOT about being unfair to the voters....the Candidate and his party have done that, not the law.

You missed one, gut. You got the mandatory nazi referance, and of course, the automatic racist accusation. But you left off the warmonger shot. What the hell kind of a leftie are you, anyway?

Well, between sending a Democratic delegation to Baghdad, Tom Daschle making ill-advised accusations, and now a re-run of the 2000 election fiasco ala Florida, the Democrats are taking the correct steps to guaranteeing a resounding defeat in November.

we can only hope
like to see 2 solid years of total Republican control
you forgot about the idiotic dumbacrat mouth pieces, goron and a star is born making fools of themselves and their party to all except the stupid and the stoned
are there really ppl that would admit, in public, that they back this party???
-
OK, I'll settle this.
I hereby announce my candidacy for the Senate seat from NJ. If elected, I guarantee that the northern end of the Jersey turnpike will smell bad.
I'm not a Demicrat, and I don't live in NJ, but I'd kinda like to have a grandfather clock like the one Torch got.
