Kelly picks up Minuteman endorsement
By Matt Friedman, PolitickerNJ.com ReporterThird district Republican congressional candidate Jack Kelly announced the endorsement of Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist today.
Gilchrist founded the anti-illegal immigration group whose members monitor the border with Mexico.
The endorsement underscores a policy disagreement between Kelly and Republican rival Chris Myers on whether we should build a fence along the length of the southern border. Kelly believes in the necessity of a physical wall, while Myers, a Lockheed-Martin executive, thinks that high-tech solutions are the way to go.
Kelly has hit Myers for sharing that stance with his employer, Lockheed Martin, which has bid on high tech border projects.
I am proud to stand with Jack Kelly in this primary battle because there is such a clear difference between him and his opponent when it comes to securing our borders,” said Gilchrist in a press rlease. “While Kelly’s opponent has stated opposition to building a fence because people will ‘dig under it’ I know Jack Kelly will take the issue of illegal immigration seriously when elected to Congress.”

Congratulations!
Well done Jack! Now if we could just get rid of the jews! Well done!!! Well done!!!
What are you talking about?
This is typical liberal crap where everyone who doesn't agree with their nutty point of view is by definition a Nazi.
Obviously Growler likes the prospect of thirteen million illegal aliens sucking off our treasury and laughing at our laws. Kelly scores points for standing with Gilchrist, knowing that nuts like the above would call him names, only because they cannot defend their pro-illegal alien point of view.

Kelly is playing for the primary..apparently forgetting the key should be winning in November..which he would probably lose. He's such a bad candidate for November..hopefully people see that.
It's pretty obvious why the DCCC wants Myers to lose and Kelly to win...
Show me a 16 foot fence
And I'll show you a 17 foot ladder.
I hear that David Duke is
I hear that David Duke is looking for someone to endorse too. The Kelly campaign may want to look into that. Then they could all go to the Westboro Baptist Church for some refreshments.
