Is anyone surprised by this? Dems would rather elect crooks than Republicans. We've known that for years.

He should have been indicted and expelled from the Senate. Instead he will probably be back in January. What a disgrace. And they just go along with it to preserve Roe Vs. Wade, the biggest priority of Democrats these days? It sure seems that way. Anyone really believe Republicans will re-gain control the Senate in 2003? Look at the voter fraud in Florida. It will likely happen everywhere in the many close races, that is my greatest fear now. What can we do to stop it??

Disgusting - NYSlime campaigning for Torch. Funny how they found so many people deeply comcerned about the loss of the senate.

The Slime can find no DemonRat that is not far superior to any Republican.

No bias here, move along now.

Mr. Casto is 36 and seeks the approval of his parents before registering with a political party???

"I have struggles with it," said David Szmak, a psychologist who said he nonetheless planned to vote for Mr. Torricelli. He said that in addition to the threat of war, "I'm concerned about the role of social services, about shortchanging our poor while rewriting the tax laws" to favor the wealthy.

Mr. Szmak, of course, completely misses the fact that his vote for Torricelli - a man who believes that laws don't apply to him - sets a dangerous precedent. He's helping to put Torricelli in a position to be able to cheat EVERYONE, no matter what their social standing.

And let's keep in mind, this is an "intelligent" democratic voter. Most of 'em just look for the "D" and push the button. It's this combination, my friends, that will send Torricelli back to the US Senate.

What strikes me is that the Democrats can say this in every state if they wanted to. Tim Johnson could say this in South Dakota. It doesn't have to be limited to people with ethical lapses or criminal activity.

The Democrats could use this as a last-ditch, desperation play at a unifying national theme. It would be a pathetic theme, but it could work. We all saw the effect that the voters of Florida had in 2000. Why wouldn't the voters of South Dakota or New Jersey think they could do the same thing and tip the scale in their favor, even if it means voting in a scoundrel? If they all do it, then who knows?

The morally bankrupt Dems selling their souls. Par for the course.

[moneypenny]

Two points:
1. If any of these people believe Torricelli was not a slime bucket, his comment that its either me or the Reps ought to prove differently.
2. The article interviews a teacher, a reverend and a "doctor" in (I would guess) an attempt to lend credibility to the argument. These are suppose to be well educated, upstanding members of their community and yet they have no problem blindly following a corrupt party in its desperate attempt to remain in power.

Why would a baby-murderer have any compunction about voting for a crook anyway? The expressions of angst are phony, spin for the consumption of various audiences as usual. Of course they know they will vote for the crook in the end, as usual!

It's Either Me or the G.O.P., Torricelli Tells Democrats

Wow, it's two, two, two wins in one!

The STENCH in the democrat caucus must be gut wrenching..

No class, no honor, no credibility, no sense, no vision, no love of country and stupid to boot....

A major POX on the asses...

Kind of tells you a lot about the morality of these people, doesn't it? Well, I guess scum deserves nothing better to represent them then scum. Hope they realize that if they do manage to send him back to the senate, he'll be totally powerless and NJ will get nothing.

The people quoted in this article are Yellow Dogs, through and through. But fortunately Yellow Dogs represent a small % of the Democrat Party--probably less than 20%.

Forrester has to get about 2/3 of the mushy middle to win and I think he can do it. The mushy middles don't like scandal and they don't like partisanship. They won't know or care about control of the Senate shifting and they won't vote solely on the issues of abortion and gun control.

I don't think Torricelli will win, but if he does, he'll be a pariah like Condit is. He doesn't have the political skills to pull his rear out of the fire like Clinton did. He just comes across as whiney and boorish--not sincere.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

What the campaign is about, he says, is not personalities, but a conservative tide that would overturn the Roe v. Wade decision, turn back hard-won environmental protections and plunge the nation into war.

Torricelli forgot to mention scaring the old folks with taking away Social Security.
