As a Democrat who attended this was not what we see in the news today. This was the original Tea Party day that happened before the official tea party groups formed. |
What a pathetic post and boy am I glad that Dan and Art are nice guys |
I don't understand your attack against the poster since it appears to be supportive of Art and Dan. The poster appears to be saying that even as a Democrat they attended the Tea Party meeting in Cranbury last year and that it bore no resemblance to some of the extremism associated with the party in the media now. You are certainly entitled to agree or disagree with that perspective but it seems odd to suggest they are attacking the candidates when they were doing the opposite, and in reaction to the actual attacks posted here. |

Mulligan is a hardcore teabagger. If you want the likes of O'Donnell, Paul, Rubio and Miller - and yes Beck and Palin on our town council, then he's your man. No amount of rationalization about keeping the local township elections non-partisan, would justify not exposing him and what he represents - for us locally and for our country |
Do you actually know him personally? Have you actually had detailed discussions with him on his politics? Otherwise aren't you being a bit presumptuous?
I do know him. I am a Democrat and we don't agree on many things politically, though I like him as a person. To lump him with Palin, O'Donnell or Beck is ridiculous. He is conservative on economic issues but he is not a religious extremist like Palin or O'Donnell. There is a huge difference.
There are many conservatives who lament that such people have taken over both the Republican party and the "Tea Party" which was started by someone whose original purpose was to protest "big government" and over taxation -- thus the name -- and originally had nothing to do with religious extremism. In fact, the original tea party was supposed to be for people of either party, and largely Independents, who were dissatisfied with Washington in general. It was quickly co-opted by the extreme right. I never had anything to do with it because personally I could see that it was inevitable that it would become an extremist group, but I don't disagree with its original principle of small government so I can see how it would have initial been interesting to people.
BTW, the fact that you would lump Miller with Palin and O'Donnell shows that you either are ignorant or an extremist yourself. I guess basically anyone who isn't a Democrat may as well be a "tea bagger" to you? Miller is pretty moderate, is not a religious extremist and has already broke with the party a couple times and voted with Democrats. But I guess that doesn't matter when you're throwing around broad generalizations that the world is black & white. The irony is that's exactly the kind of thing Beck would do, or Bush did with his "if you're not with us, you're our enemy" speech. Did you realize you act just like them? |
Sorry to bring this back, but at this point does anyone on the planet believe Joe Miller is a moderate. The stuff coming out of Alaska on this guy is amazing. He is so out there he is allowing Murkowski to portray herself as a moderate. |

How does that impact any of the three TC candidates? |

It doesn't. There are a few unfortunate folks that use this forum for bitter, anonymous tirades against people that volunteer for public service. Not the strongest character attribute.
There is a person who keeps trying to make political hay by making allegations re: Dan Mulligan. I know Dan and feel it is off-base. But someone likes to sit and disparage someone with no accountability for their statements. Dan is solid and will do well for our town. |

The current tea party is just a collection of cranks and nutbags.
A lot of sound and fury signifying nothing! |

what the hell does this have to do with Cranbury politics?, take your personal opinions about teaparty and post it on http://www.politickernj.com or cnn.com but keep to the topic/title of what this thread is supposed to be all about, geez you need to read the forum etiquette post again, especially 5,6,and 11

Wrongo pal. I brought this back because I thought the statement that, "joe Miller" was a moderate was really strange. I was not casting aspertions on the local candidates. I was commenting that the guy who portrayed Miller as a moderate was way off base.
Instead of commenting on the poster's claim that miller is a moderate, you are attempting political jiu jitsu by claiming this is an attack on local candidates. Nope
It is an attack on the chucklehead who portrays Joe Miller as a moderate. Which one of you was it. |

The thread though is about local candidates. I agree on Miller, but make a separate thread then. |
