Hoboken NJ,  Calling him the disgrace of the Democratic Party, good government activists gathered Sunday, November 4, at 11:30am to rally in protest of the visit by formerly indicted Senator Menendez. Menendez who was unanimously admonished by the Senate Ethic Committee for bribery, fraud, and corruption was inexplicably chosen by the NJ Democratic Party to run for Senate. Perennial candidate for higher office, Senator Booker, who recently pressured Democratic law makers to change state law allowing him to run for re-election and president simultaneously in 2020, stumped for the embattled and morally corrupt Menendez.

If ever there was a time to roll-out the phrase “typical Hudson County politician” it’s now. Menendez is the poster child for that brand of self-dealing, always on the take, to hell with the people I actually represent as long as I can line my pockets corruption. Hugin is a successful businessman, veteran of the military and as upstanding a citizen as NJ has. It’s no wonder the screeching, unhinged left hates him. What’s less clear is why people would even consider voting for the worst case example of the Hudson County machine.

Reader says , “Not just election year mud slinging”

menendezmelgen1

For the poster above that wants to say this is just election year mud slinging do your own investigation instead of reading the talking points. That eye doctor Uncle Bob was hanging out with is a bad dude and he bought access all the way up to President Clinton. Say all you want about a hung jury in his criminal trial (let that sink in – his criminal trial) but is that what you want as your senator “indicted but only almost convicted?” And let’s not forget that the biggest ol’ Boys club in the history of western civilization actually censured one of their own in a bi-partisan basis when they found his behavior indefensible. Let that sink in too: a whole bunch of democrat senators said “Bob, tone it down, you’re making us look bad and now we have no choice but to do something about it.” Vote for whoever you want but at least be honest with yourself that you’re voting for a party not a good person.
