Quote of the Day
October 10, 2008

A GOP L-E-A-D-E-R has emerged: Dr. Murray Sabrin
This week the New Jersey Republican Party finally found out who is looking after its Congressional and local candidates: Dr. Murray Sabrin.
There is no quesion, Dr. Sabrin is a W-I-N-N-E-R this week and so is the New Jersey Republican Party!
That makes Dick Zimmer and Jersey Joe L-O-S-E-R-S by default!
Way to go Murray!
M-O-R-O-N
Murray is a M-O-R-O-N! Murray, King of the Party Switch, needs a reality check. Umm, dude, your not running against John McCain. Your running for US Senate. Maybe you and your team of "Mavericks" should get a clue and start campaigning for the NJ Senate and not attack the party's candidate for President. You are not a loyal party guy - we have seen that with your switch to the Libertarian Party - but now you have the audacity to attack our party's candidate? You and your campaign are a joke. You are the L-O-S-E-R!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well said, OC
Murray is a self serving, intellectual egomaniac and that attitude permiates throughout his merry little trolls who think they're smarter than everybody and flood this site with their asinine comments.
Murray only cares about one person and that person is M-U-R-R-A-Y.
"Political correctness is tyranny with manners." - Charlton Heston
Murray= Winner... minus this week.
In a way I agree with the previous comments concerning Murray's last video on claiming he is the GOP nominee and that he wants to take on McCain on true conservative issues. This was a little much, as he needs to worry about the primary and quit touting as if he is going walk right into Washington unchallenged. Bad move on Murray's part. His intelligence on the issues and how to tackle them are spot on. Murray cares about the condition of this country and has great ideas how to focus on the issues, unlike his opponents. I just wished he worked on the winning the primary and getting his name out there and not trying to take on the mainstream GOP, the very people he needs to vote for him next month. The alternatives to Murray are horrible and he just fouled up on this latest rant. It was extremely frustrating to watch. I hope he can clean this mess up soon and get a more positive, NJ GOP insipiring message out there. He has many enemies within the party against them as they are gunning to keep the original GOP platform out of NJ and Washington for the next 6+ years. If he doesn't get sorted soon, the GOP is finished and the donks will sweep again.
Frank is a looser again!
There is something about Wally Edge's inability to analyze political events. In my opinion nothing has changed since last week, despite a flurry of activities: No questions about it. Frank the debater has been thinking about debating Andrews while his campaign has been sinking like Titanic. Andrews is the winner! No questions about it. He won the court ruling to redesign several county ballots. Not an easy win against the Back to the USSR Chairmen in the Democratic Party. On the GOP side, the winner is Dr. Sabrin who continues to rake in donations and get positive coverage in the press. The Record even has been intrigued by his PR tacticts. Unorthodox, yes. Successful, no doubt. What does it mean? The looser is Zimmer, who has not made any progress whatsoever with his handicapped campaign (three weeks old now?) That is with the help of the Back to the USSR Chairmen in GOP. By the way, have you seen clips from the US Senate debate among GOP candidates. That was a disaster for Jersey Joke and Zimmer the lobbyist.
