Bob Ingle's Blog

Though some posters on Blue Jersey may see Bob Ingle as a Republican hack, I have a different opinion of him. Arguably the top political writer in the state, Ingle goes after Dems because they are in power, not necessarily because he is partisan; he once told me that he was accused of being a Democrat when he criticized corrupt Republicans when they held the state legislature. Recently, while he has gone after Democratic state senator Wayne Bryant (and rightly so) and criticized some of Corzine's decisions, he has also called for an investigation into former Gov. Whitman's work while at the EPA, when she said the 9-11 site was environmentally safe, as well as one of Martha Bark, a corrupt Republican state senator.

Further, it seems as if I am the lone progressive who posts on Ingle's blog, and he has just written a piece critical of Bush's foreign policy. The Corzine administration reads his blog, and Ingle is highly influential. It would be nice if some of you joined me on his blog and fought back some of the irrational and even racist allegations some of the posters make there against Menendez and the Democratic Party.

Just to prove it to myself... (0.00 / 0)

I've kind of feel Bob is even-handed. I'm more republican than anything else, but I have no tolerance for corruption on either side of the aisle. I'd like to see republicans gain some power in NJ just to prove that Bob and myself would be equally disgusted if the perps were from my own party.
I've often said that it's not that one party is necessarily more corrupt than the other, it's more that the party in power has the opportunity to be corrupt and the public focuses on those in power.
The fact that Tom Kean can't come out and call for Bark's removal is enough to make me support Menendez if that gives you any idea of where I stand.
