However, Menendez and company aren't the only crooked politicians here. There are plenty of others to share that claim to fame.

You don't have to be with the HCDO to be crooked and as far as focussing on who to toss out, I think that we need to toss all of them out, including Manzo and McCann.

: I think eveyone in this thread agree on one thing, Menendez and the county organization are corrupt to the core. Nothing good is going to happen in HC/JC until these thugs are thrown out of office. Its their strangle hold on power that copputs them and their utter contempt for the electorate.

: Bash Jerry McCann all you want but Lou Manzo is not with the HCDO and he proved last year that they can be beaten . He and Glenn Cunningham proved it. So stop bashing Jerry McCann, he is not going to be mayor. Lets keep the focus on the overthrow of the Menendez HCDO regime.

: : You're right. Where we live has become a national joke and it's simply because people care more about winning than integrity. If you can't teach an old dog a new trick, it is time to get a new dog.

: : On who do we look to now, it's obvious. We look to some of the newer residents of Jersey City, especially those that didn't grow up here or are entrenched in the current political scene. We can't depend on the "old timers" to help us out of this mess until they see that we're serious about creating change. I am willing to bet that once positive change starts occuring, there will be many that jump onto the bandwagon.

: : We have some "minor candidates" running for mayor and frankly, they have no hope of winning but if those of us who are sickened by the current ways were to vote for these minor candidates and start looking for someone that will step up to the plate for us and then run a serious campaign, we can do it!

: : What Jersey City needs is new blood that will say no to the McCanns and the Menendez and all others who want to pay our way into office. We don't need them! We do need our integrity intact if we're really going to do this the right way.

: : Vote for the devil that you don't know this time instead of the devils that you do know. You really don't have much to lose.

: : : Its a bit shameful that Gerry never did admit guilt to any of the 18 counts that put him behind bars. He denied his guilt right to the end of his trial, through his sentencing, through his incarceration, and now that he's out..its the same old Gerry. I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks...like honesty, fair play, and most of all..integrity.

: : : And the greater the role McCann has in Manzo's Assembly Office and now his campaign, the less respect I have for Lou Manzo. But then.... Healy has McCann's old Chief of Staff Buddy Demellier working for him. And no one can tell me that Demellier isn't cut from the same cloth as McCann.

: : : So where do we look for leadership in this town? Harvey has failed us. Lipsky.... well he's just Lipsky. And Willie...lacks leadership qualities. What do we have to do to find new blood in JC?
