"No brainer": Wingnut "Defense Fund" exposes Chris Christie

A group of wingnuts based in Washington DC who call themselves "Freedom's Defense Fund" announced they are taking sides in the New Jersey GOP primary race for Governor between wingnut poster boy Steve Lonegan and establishment favorite Chris Christie. They've unveiled a website called Christieexposed.com which is intended to support a direct mail and television advertising campaign which highlights recently reported pay-to-play and no-bid contract controversies during Christie’s tenure as U.S. Attorney.

“As a leading advocacy group in the conservative movement, we have a responsibility to weigh in when choices are clear in Republican primaries,” said Todd Zirkle, Chairman of the Freedom’s Defense Fund. “In New Jersey, we have an ethically challenged candidate versus a principled conservative in Steve Lonegan. It’s a no-brainer to get involved.”

It's also a no-brainer these clowns will squeal like stuck pigs after Christie wins the primary and then loses to Jon Corzine in November.

How many suckers will spend $1000 to meet "Joe the Plumber"?

Wingnut conservative Steve Lonegan is still behind in the polls against his opponent, former US Attorney and establishment favorite Chris Christie, for the NJGOP gubernatorial primary but now he's really getting serious by bringing up the heavy artillery.

Who else but "Joe the Plumber" to plug the leaks in a campaign that seems to be going down the drain. In a recent press release the Lonegan campaign announced that for only one thousand dollars donors to the Lonegan campaign will enjoy a private one hour meeting with Joe and Steve, undoubtedly to talk about fixing toilets and leaky faucets.

I may have spent a few hundred dollars on a plumber for one hour's worth of work, but one thousand seems a bit much. I just hope whoever pays that much doesn't end up wading through a pile of manure.

This proves you don't have to be a wingnut to be nuts

Pastor Shannon Wright of Plainfield on Saturday officially announced her entry into the New Jersey gubernatorial race as an independent, according to PolitickerNJ.com. Pastor Wright is an ordained minister who co-founded the online Faith, Grace and Mercy World Outreach Ministries with her husband, Michael.

Formerly the campaign manager of Franklin Township Mayor Brian D. Levine – a Republican candidate for governor - Wright bailed on Levine last month amid disagreements within his campaign about its direction and the weekly bad news out of Republican conventions suggesting the candidate was freefalling.

She won’t reveal how she intends to finance her run for governor, but promises to run hard and campaign in every county. “It’s time to put the bloom back in the Garden State,” proclaimed Wright. “It's an honor and a privilege to have this opportunity. If I become an example for young girls, proving that they can be anything they want to be, then I've done my job. I'm looking forward to doing what it takes to get New Jersey back on track and it would be an honor to be the first African-American woman in a position to do that."

Wright’s 18-year old son, Michael, said as he observed Levine tanking, he encouraged his mother to run for governor so she could help improve New Jersey's economy. “I was trying to coax her into doing so, in part because it’s been extremely hard for me to get a job,” he said. “I told her I wanted a job, so she needed to run.”

If she wins it will be interesting to see what kind of job he ends up with. Maybe State Treasurer or Attorney General.

Alan Keyes fears Obama will scandalize young Catholics

Alan Keyes was near the Notre Dame University campus in South Bend, Indiana to protest the school's invitation to President Obama to speak at this year's graduation. Keyes said he speaks for all Catholics in calling the university's invite a contradiction of the church's beliefs. "To hold that up as somehow worthy of honor at a catholic institution before the minds and hearts of young catholic students whom you will be in fact scandalizing, you'll be betraying them with a falsehood that might confuse them and lead them down a road that ultimately risks their spiritual well-being," said Keyes.

I don't know about spiritual well-being, but if Alan Keyes is any example I'd be more concerned about emotional maturity and psychotic behavior.

Alan Keyes says "Show me!"

Appearing at a tea party in front of the White House on tax protest day, Alan Keyes was asked by a reporter if he had a message to send to Obama. With all the issues of unemployment, taxation and national bankruptcy, it seems the only thing on Alan Keyes' mind is Obama's birthplace as he told the reporter, "Show us your birth certificate!"

Maybe someone's been putting kool-aid in the tea Alan's been drinking.

Fox News drinking the kool-aid

Fox News host and senior vice president of Fox Business News Neil Cavuto suggests bias is keeping mainstream media from covering anti-tax “tea party” rallies with the same enthusiasm they devote to civil rights protests and anti-war rallies.

Fox News is offering extensive coverage of the nationwide rallies, dispatching Cavuto and three other top anchors to various cities. Cavuto was reporting from Sacramento, Greta Van Susteren was in Washington, Sean Hannity was stationed in Atlanta, and Glenn Beck was appearing at the Alamo in San Antonio. “I know why we are there,” Cavuto told listeners. “I’m not quite sure why they are not,” he said, speaking of other media outlets. “Apparently these populist protests don’t count that much for them. Millions concerned they’re being taxed to death counts even less for them,” he said.

Maybe Fox News isn't taxed enough if they can afford to send these clowns all over the country just to report on some circus side shows.

Today New Jersey; tomorrow the World!

GOP gubernatorial candidate and professional wingnut Steve Lonegan stepped up to the mike at the podium on the front steps of the State Capitol in Trenton to address the true believers at one of the "Let Them Drink Tea" parties sponsored by various rightwing groups across the country. “You heard them talk about ‘Yes, we can’ last year and what that turned out to mean was apologizing to Europe for the greatness of America, it meant “Yes, we can” create more government,” yelled Lonegan as American flags waved among the crowd of Tom Paine and Patrick Henry wannabees who want to turn the clock back to 1776. “We will tell them, ‘Yes, we will,’” he cried. “America will be better than anyone on the planet, and the answer doesn’t come from the Whitehouse or this Statehouse, it comes from you, the people!”

Lonegan knows about planets. He's been to so many of them it must be hard to know which one he's on.
