Lie #1:
NJ Senate Debate on October 8th when asked about the Federal Investigation about his unethical dealings he said "The fact of the matter is, there is no criminal investigation"

FACT:
In a Sept. 24th Interview with George Stephanopoulos, after being asked about the Federal Investigation placed upon him 'We welcome it, and we look forward to its successful conclusion"

Flip Flop #1

Lie #2
NJ Senate Debate on October 8th Bob Menendez said " I have worked hard to protect America, thats why I voted to implement the 9/11 commissions recommendations."

Fact:
Bob Menendez actually voted AGAINST implementing the 9/11 commissions recommendations (HR 10)

Flip Flop #2

Lie #3
On Wednesday October 18th at a speech to Temple Beth Shalom in Livingston Bob Menendez, when asked about his colleague Joe Lieberman said " I wish him well and hope he returns"

Fact:
After Ned Lamont upset Joe Lieberman in the August 8th Democratic Primary in CT Bob Menendez said "While I am disappointed, I must respect the voters of Connecticut, and put my support fully behind Ned Lamont"

Flip Flop #3

Bob Menendez has flip-flopped too much, and has failed the people of New Jersey. While you can hate republicans, and blame them for the problems of the country (i know i do).......Remember, DEMOCRATS have been in control of the New Jersey legislature, and have been serving as our senators and majority of our congressman for YEARS and where are we now? The most corrupt, state in the nation, we pay the highest tax's, we get the least respect, and we have the 2nd highest unemployment rate in the country.

Bob Menendez and the democrats in Trenton have failed us. Its time to show them the door.

by the way, hate me if u must, but if your going to respond actually PROVE me wrong, dont just tell me that ive been "drinking the karl rove kool-aid", or "i'm Tom Keans dog".....actually prove me wrong, otherwise ive just proved YOU wrong.

PROVE yourself, first (4.00 / 2)
I'm still waiting for information you promised us last time. Please provide information to back this up:
The fact of the matter is Tom Kean Jr. has actually brought home the bacon, and Bob Menendez has done nothing but sloth his way through congress with nothing to show for it.
This is the third time I'm asking for you to list the bacon Tom Kean Jr has brought to NJ.

unemployment rate? (4.00 / 1)
You're just making shit up. Point me to the statistics showing we have the second highest unemployment rate in the country.

Um, excuse me Mr. Troll? (4.00 / 1)

Menendez is running for the U.S. Senate (you know, the one that sits in Washington D.C.), not the State Senate.  I wonder if Jr. himself knows the difference.

And let's try this one on you, since Jr. refused to answer it 20-odd times the other night.  Knowing what we know now, that there were no WMDs in Iraq, would Jr. have voted for or against the war?


Typical Republican Swiftboat Garbage.... (4.00 / 1)
Do you actually have a transcript of the debate???  As I recall the question it specified a criminal investigation of Bob Menendez.  That doesn't exist....it's your guy Junior that's the liar.

On the Stephanopoulos interview Bob simply said he would co-operate fully with any inquiries/investigations.  That's NOT the same as a CRIMINAL investigation of Menendez.

The word "criminal" comes out of Juniors mouth very smoothly...it's telling that that is about the only word he can pronounce without choking. 

The Lamont confusion is a minor case of political verbiage that is  indeed regrettable; but unlike your punk Tom Junior (or your punk Bush), Menendez is man enough to issue clarifications when he says something that can be easily misconstrued.  Democrats don't pretend to be perfect.

You claim to blame Republicans for the problems of our country, "While you can hate republicans, and blame them for the problems of the country (i know i do)".  What a pure load of sheer ferret feces! 

Do you really think anyone here is dumb enough to think you're anything but a troll?  An unpotted plant?

If you "hate" Republicans; I feel sorry for you.  Hell, I don't even hate Republicans in any categorical sense.  As a Christian I believe one should love everyone, especially sinners.  Hate the sin and love the sinner; now that's an ideal to strive for, eh?

So dear anonymous creature, I challenge you to come out of hiding.  Come out to one of the drinking liberally events on the left side of the screen, let us all know where and when.  I want to hear all about how you disagree with Republicans in Washington. The first beer's on me.

 


Dear Kean jr Stenographer (4.00 / 1)
Is NJ the Wealthiest State in the Country? That might explain the amount of taxes we pay. Failure to understand or articulate the most basic of issues in the proper light makes me inclined to request that you fold your tent 5 times and put it where the Moon doesn't shine.




Check out my 3 paragraph primer on Polywell Fusion.


Another thing to remember regarding taxes: (4.00 / 2)
The Republicans hold all the reins of power. We get back .55 on every tax dollar paid to Washington, while the states of their leadership get back as much as $1.35/dollar. It's been going on for years. Junior wants to be one of this scabrous breed. Junior wants to be one of those who sacks this state of its tax wealth and sends it to people like Tom DeLay and Trent Lott.

If you have been paying attention, the Republicans have stripped the Dems of any ability to set agenda in Congress, bring supoenas, anything. They even hide committee meetings from them. Conference meetings? Them too. Junior wants to be one of the people who strips the people of NJ of their representation through congressional ledgerdemane.

This troll is not just a troll, but a moron as well. He or she posts on Congress without knowing the first thing about how Congress works and what its leadership has been doing. Does Junior? Unlikely. Then again, maybe he does and he approves.

How typical. How sad. All they have is lies, half-truths, obfuscation and more lies. Just like Junior.

Troll, get thee to a civics class. Take Junior with you.

The nom de plume has a long and distinguished history.
