:::That you want an ignorant, confrontational, racist who has handed out about $500K in pay increases and patronage hirings since June?

: I had the opportunity, or should I say misfortune of meeting Jerry and his entourage campaigning. Although the sun had already set, I was taken aback by Jerry's breath. Wheww! Can't his campaign manager some mints?

: I don;t know who I'am going to vote for. Kind of leaning towards Mayor Smith at this point.

: : If you have such concerns about the debate, and the sobriety of the candidates, you should have gotten your fat a-ss off your bar stool and gone to the Lowes and watched it. But then again...that would have meant making an effort...and we know Manzo's people are lazy ... just like their candidate.

: : : : Four of the 12 Jersey City mayoral candidates squared off in their first debate Thursday night, going head to head over issues such as crime, tax abatements and political appointments.

: : : : Inside the Loew's Jersey Theater in Journal Square the mood was raucous as supporters of Assemblyman Lou Manzo and City Councilman Jerramiah Healy traded barbs, cheers and jeers.

: : : : . . .

: : : : The night got off to a heated start when Alfred Marc Pine, a candidate not participating in the event, stood up from the audience and lambasted the organizers for refusing to include him.

: : : : "Why am I not allowed to participate in this debate?" Pine shouted. "It is it because I am a political virgin? Is it because I'm Jewish?"

: : : : With the crowd's encouragement, organizers led Pine up the stairs to the wings of the theater, where, after exchanging heated words with Pat O'Melia, the host of the debate, he was escorted from the theater by two police officers.

: : : : . . .

: : : : Healy accused Manzo of launching a smear campaign, while Manzo charged that Healy had something to do with the short-lived candidacy of Raymond Manzo, an eight-year employee of the Parking Authority who withdrew his candidacy for mayor the day after the filing deadline. Lou Manzo campaign officials have said they believe Raymond Manzo was encouraged to run by Healy's campaign to confuse voters.

: : : : Lipski also entered the fray, chastising Manzo for recommending Daniel McMann for appointment to the Jersey City Department of Health and Human Services. McMann was recently blamed for the state levying $105,000 in fines for the department's failure to file state-required reports on hazardous substances.

: : : : Manzo has acknowledged that McMann was hired on his recommendation.

: : : : Part one of the debate will be shown on Oct. 17 and part two will be shown on Oct. 21 on Comcast cable Channel 64.
