RINO's in Hudson are trying to take down the chairman and the GOP. Their liberal idealogy is that of John Kerry or Bill Clinton; quick to criticize and slow to reslove. Taking every side of an issue pointing out all that is wrong and lunging attacks. You would think I am speaking of the Democratic Party - I am not, I am speaking of a group of RINO's in Hudson County, NJ that want to overthrow their county chairman so that they can take the reigns and continue to endorse liberal Democratic policy. In a recent non-partisan election this group of neo-liberals hiding behind a Ronald Reagan mask did not bother to endorse the candidate that was endorsed by former Governor Whitman (R-NJ) , but chose to endorse a registered Democrat,Scott Delea, who was the Field Director for Howard Dean's presidential campaign in NJ. This group from Hoboken try's to paint the picture that they are the answer to an age-old problem in Hudson County Politics - the Democrats. The only thing this group is doing weakening an already-weak county committee. Truth is that they actually take their orders from a Female RINO that reports to non other than the chairman of the Hudson County Democratic Organization - State Senate Majority Leader Bernard Kenny! The Hudson County GOP administration currently has several of its committee people working in positions of power within the city and County government. This was achieved by making bi-partisan negotiations within a strong Democratic district. Building coalitions is the only way to fight the Democratic insurgency. Step by step is the only way to achieve a Party healthy enough to win some seats on some city councils and some mayorships in the county. When you have an army of three versus an army of three thousand, you have to choose your battles wisely. In an area like HudsonCounty that is so ethnically diverse and demographically liberal it is challenging to even recruit candidates to run for public office. Case and point: the neo-liberal Hoboken RINO's (as large and strong as they are) only put up one candidate in the last three elections. Moreover, the Hoboken RINO's tried to pull their candidate out of the running for a County Freeholder's seat. It is easy to stand by the sidelines and criticize others that have been invoved in local politics longer than many of these [Hoboken RINO's] have been alive. The real test is being able to raise money for an election and produce candidates that are willing to fight the good fight. This is the challenge and the Hoboken Rino's have not risen to this challenge, they have cowered behind gossip and slander. The Hoboken RINO's are trying to bring midwest politics to an urban, progresive east coast city and to date all they have done is built a strong neo-liberal RINO organization that can't turn out a vote, can't turn out any money for the Party (or candidates), and can't even turn out volunteers. The Hoboken RINO's are playing with fire and they are soon to get burnt.
