POLITICS—The Republican candidacy of former Marine Gunnery Sergeant Nick Popaditch in the 51st Congressional District has prompted incumbent Bob Filner, chairman of the House Veteran Affairs Committee, to caution supporters that “there are no safe seats.” Popaditch, who once was pictured in a tank by the infamous statue of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, lost an eye in combat and has written a book, Once a Marine, about his experiences, clearly appealing to the same veterans constituency that Filner has so assiduously cultivated. “The candidate running against me has no credentials but his photograph trumps a centerfold,” Filner declares.
******** From Savas Beatie Publishing LLC:
Would you like to read what Congressman Bob Filner (D-CA 51st District) thinks about you? His opponent in the November 2010 mid-term election is Nicholas Popaditch (R). In a personal letter to his supporters, Filner recently said, "The candidate running against me has no credentials." For the record, Nick spent 16 years in the Marine Corps, led men in and out of combat, achieved the rank of Gunnery Sergeant, lost most of his eyesight for his country, and was awarded the Silver Star. To Bob Filner, that means he has "ABSOLUTELY NO CREDENTIALS" to sit in Congress. In other words, veterans, your service means nothing to Bob Filner. He just wants your vote.

And a message from Pissant:
According to Nick's wife, the lovely and talented April, Nick will be happy to come onto FR in the near future and do a FR Live Cyber press conference. Where we can ask questions and the quick fingered April will type out Nick's Answers. If you have not heard Gunny Pop speak, please go to youtube and check in on him.
This is a very important seat. It is a great chance for conservatives to snatch a democrat seat in a democrat district from a leftwing Pelosi buttkisser.
And Gunny Pop, aside from being an occasional freeper and a genuine warrior, is about as conservative as can be.
BUMP
I forgot to give him a courtesy PING
I hope he doesn't fall into an interview trap.
“I support conservatives. Always have, always will.”
Okay, good to know.
Yeah, we know that Filner is entrenched and that the district is democrat, but it’s also military and nothing beats grassroots volunteers and Tea Party Nation!
Yea for Cigar Guy.. been following him on Facebook! Would love to see him win
Good Luck Gunny Pop from this Chula Vista FReeper!
About time smarmy Bob Filner had some REAL competition!
Never thought it would happen. THANK YOU!
Thanks for the ping! Wish I could vote for him!
Go Nick is right! Hope he makes it, he’ll be a fine addition to congress, he’ll boost the integrity factor by 1000%
I remember that pic from the original threads.... Quintessential image of the American fighting man.
The pic is so cool.
Don’t tell my hubby, but it totally makes me swoon.
Terrific website! We will see how voters in District 51 really feel about the Border issue.
Will Ceegarman have any primary competition?
Your secret is safe with me. He’s a fine figure of a man as they used to say.

As usual they are trying to knock out a conservative candidate. Don’t let them do it.
