To Anonymous, 1:46PM Today

As you all know I welcome any and all comments. I publish however those I choose. Cursing will never get your post published no matter how fluid your writing style is. Also, being that it is 'campaign season' I have been receiving politically charged comments. I do not want to become a breeding group for political posts... B-U-T, this one I received at 1:46pm today was tasteful if you will.

So much so that I decided to post it as a blog:

Already the Republican Party in the State feels that because of the support of the New Democrat/Republicans in Plainfield, they have an opportunity to win both Assembly seats in the 22nd District. Part of their campaign is their attempt of localizing the Muhlenberg issue. They have to realize however that the health issue is a NATIONAL crisis, and the two individuals running as Republicans for the 22nd district, they are huge fans of former President George Bush and his policies.

This is going to be very interesting indeed. First, they have to get past the primary. All of the Republicans who switched to New Democrats now have to make a choice: do they stay New Democrats in order to support Mapp, or do they go back to being Republicans and support Chris Christie who is the strongest of the Republican candidates. The choice they will have to make is this: are they more concerned with trying to control the State or City Hall.

The big question that the Plainfield voters are faced with is this, are they prepared to support two Republicans who have no problem saying that the $100 million we receive as being an Abbott District is a waste? If they are elected, the $100 million Plainfield receives will be lost right off the bat. It is sad to know there will be some in the community who will vote for these two candidates even though this means drastically cutting school funding. The majority of the New Democrats’ children in the city do not attend city schools. The point the parents is missing is that whether or not their children are in the city school system, they are equally responsible in absolving the $100 million loss the city will suffer from losing it.

These are the same Republicans who have dumped on the city of Plainfield when it comes to low-income housing; their answer has always been, “Send them to Plainfield.” When it comes to the homeless, their answer has been, “Give them a voucher and send them to Plainfield.” Now they want to go back to their old ways. Wake up and smell the coffee Plainfield, there is not ONE issue that the Republicans have supported that would have been beneficial to the city of Plainfield. Wake up Plainfield, Councilman Cory Storch and Adrian Mapp are not your friends! Plainfield has come too long of a way for it to be bamboozled by Storch, Mapp, and these Republican candidates.
