| I couldn't be much more pissed off than I am right now. I suppose this is to be expected from the party that brought you the superdelegate. I swear, the left hand doesn't know, or even seem to care, what the right hand is doing.
So, I made my angry phone calls, and then I wrote the following email:
Mr. Lautenberg -
I am a long-time supporter and admirer of yours, but your involvement in my local politics has crossed the line. After spending weeks campaigning for the Real Bergen Democrats and including your name on EVERY piece of campaign literature I produced, I came home from the polls today and found a door hanger, paid for by you, urging me to vote for Column 4.
Frank, pick up a copy of Sunday's Bergen Record. Read the lead story (top of A-1). Then read the story at the bottom of L-1. These are the people who supported a lawsuit to overturn New Jersey's pay-to-play laws. These are the people who you are urging me to vote for? Get serious.
Just because someone calls themselves a Democrat doesn't make them good.
In the past I have judged you by your deeds. Today I am judging you by the company you keep.
I don't know what you can do to make this right. An apology to me and to my co-workers would be a start.
P.S. the woman in your Newark office listened nicely as I told her this.
The "gentleman" in your campaign headquarters hung up on me. Very classy. |
