Re-read the original post. : Maybe that's why he's got Kerry's name on his signs. After all, birds of a feather flipflop together! : : This man flip flops worse than anyone I have ever seen. He's all over the issues...says whatever he thinks will please the crowd he's addressing. : : : 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. : : : : : : : : Did Jerry Healy state what his platform was all about? : : : : : : : : : : : Saturday, October 02, 2004 : : : : : : By Bonnie Friedman : : : : : : 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. : : : : : : --- : : : : : : For the complete Jersey Journal article, please see the Link.
