Scott Garrett for Congress ,People over Government

November 3,2014
PJ Blogger and the Staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ, This election is about the whole sale rejection of President Obama’s policies and no one could be more of a polar opposite to the presidents polices than Scott Garrett. Garrett has consistently been a voice for reason in a time were many have seemingly lost their mind and lost their way. The Current administration has put government over people ,while Scott Garrett puts people first.
Garrett has rightly opposed the president’s tax and spend big government policies  at every turn . Garrett has opposed and warned about Obamacare , the current incoherent foreign policy and recently the handling of the Ebola outbreak .
Garrett has pushed for more openness at the Federal Reserve , opposed the  “too big to fail policy ” , opposed the massive regulatory over reach and over and over has been a voice against government waste and cronyism, putting people over government .
Garrett has opposed “Common Core ” and like most Bergen County residents thinks educational decisions belong in the hands of parents, teachers and local administrators who know best what their children need.
Its a consistent message one that never goes out of style , to live within your means ,and understand the consequences of your actions and to have government the servant of the people ,and not the master.

For County Executive the Ridgewood blog supports Kathy Donovan for County Executive , Bernie Walsh and Bob Avery for Freeholders .
While our state and county suffer from many challenges Donovan inherited a mess both politically and fiscally.  Donovan with the addition of Walsh and Avery gives the county its best chance  of getting control of run away government at the county level . The opposition has offered nothing but the same old cronyism and wasteful special interest spending that has gotten us into this mess.  Like it or not Dovovan has shown a willingness to take the heat and take on the many special interest .

For New Jersey Senator , we endorse Jeff Bell , who has proved himself a man of ideas  and substance unlike his light weight Obamabot opponent , sorry but appearing on Oprah  is no substitute for representation of the people of New Jersey . It would be nice for a change to have someone in the Senate looking out for New Jersey’s interests instead of cowtowing to a national political party  and being a yes man to a president who policies leave much to be desired .
Jeff Bell has continued to surprise many people with his unorthodox iconoclastic style and has focused on the economic issues and jobs. Jeff recognizes like most people the key to New Jersey’s future is a strong economy and current administration and its followers are moving in the opposite direction .

GOP edge grows in final stretch

GOP edge grows in final stretch
By Cameron Joseph

With one month until Election Day, Republicans’ chances for retaking the Senate and picking up seats in the House are improving.

The GOP has been buoyed by positive public polling, while red-state Democrats are still struggling to find distance from President Obama. There are bright spots and even some unexpected new targets on the map for both parties, but the overall national environment seems to have ticked a bit toward Republicans.

The GOP needs to win a net of six seats to retake control of the Senate, and Republicans seem better-positioned to do so now than they did through much of the summer.

Democrats must hold their own for a decent election night, and they’re putting their faith in their vaunted ground game for the final stretch.

Both sides say control of the upper chamber is still very much at play, and Republicans certainly aren’t taking a victory lap just yet.

“The Senate is up for grabs and the outcome is far from certain,” said Paul Lindsay, spokesman for the pro-GOP American Crossroads. “There’s a lot of encouraging signs in many states and a good progression for us in many states. But at the same time many of these races are still up for grabs.”
