Wingnuts v. wingnuts v. RINOs: NJGOP wars heating up

by: ken bank

Mon May 04, 2009 at 04:46:01 PM EDT



Wingnuts are forming their own circular firing squad within the NJGOP as libertarian wingnuts are squaring off against paleocon wingnuts over Steve Lonegan's Bourbonesque plan to increase taxes on the poor and cut taxes on the rich.  In a column posted on PolitickerNJ.com libertarian wingnut and professional loser Murray Sabrin threw down the gauntlet when he denounced Lonegan's tax plan for raising taxes on low income earners.  Sabrin and Lonegan, who shared the same campaign manager Rick Shaftan, were once political allies but split last year after Lonegan refused to support Sabrin in the NJGOP primary for US Senate and instead endorsed Sabrin's rival State Senator "Jersey Joe" Pennacchio.  Ironically "Jersey Joe" betrayed Lonegan this year by endorsing Chris Christie.  

On a similar note tomorrow night may well be the grand climax (no pun intended) of the Lonegan campaign when "Joe the Deadbeat Plumber" comes to New Jersey to sell his book and campaign for Steve, and hopefully raise enough money to buy him a hairpiece that fits before the televised debates with Chris Christie.  Joe's appearance is no freebie, however, as PolitickerNJ.com reports he will be amply compensated by the Lonegan campaign.  Our tax dollars at work.
