May 1 - The vicious Republican primary battle between challenger Jay Webber and State Sen. Robert J. Martin (R-Morris Plains) grew even more heated today when Webber accused Martin of misusing his campaign funds.

Pointing to reports filed with the state Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC), Webber said Martin has used his election account for "self-aggrandizement," paying nearly $39,000 in tuition costs for an advanced degree from Columbia University, and over $25,000 for expenses related to his automobile.

Martin is a liberal, anti-gun RINO the DemocRATs in New Jersey just love because the lawyer-professor frequently breaks with the Republican party to vote with the Dems. Martin represents a solidly Republican conservative district and, since his challenge in this primary by the conservative, pro-Second Amendment, pro-life Webber, he has been trying to recast himself as a conservative, mainstream Republican.

He is as mainstream Republican as Chrissie Whitman. Good luck to you Webber. If I were a resident of Jersey, I'd give you my vote!!
