Turnout in the special elections this Tuesday is going to be critical and gunnies can make a difference. Use the ratings sheet and be sure to vote.
Some good commentary on the elections by Bob Fois @ NewsCopy and David Singer @ Scarsdale10583.
David Weprin must be a bit concerned that he might actually lose this Tuesday’s special election. His campaign sent out a sleazy mailer attacking his opponent Bob Friedrich (who is Jewish) implying he’s a Nazi sympathizer. Then, Weprin’s campaign manager inserted gun control into the mix:
“… Weprin’s campaign manager Corey Bearak confirmed the mailer is indeed from his side of the fence. He sent the following statement: “It’s not offensive to make sure people know just home extreme Republican-Conservative Bob Friedrich is; this extremist opposes hate crimes legislation – it’s offensive that Republican Bob Friedrich actually opposes hate crimes legislation. Crimes driven by anti-Semitism, racism, homophobia and other prejudices deserve special attention and warrant extra-tough penalties. As a Jewish community leader who speaks out against anti-Semitism and other hate and it’s outrageous that an extremist like Friedrich, who is also anti-gun control and against Roe v. Wade, would run for office in our community. He will be rejected on February 9th.” …”
Truly pathetic.
