Shulman Campaign Attacks Save Jersey
By Matt Rooney | August 20, 2008
Apparently, the good folks over at Shulman for Congress aren't fans of Save Jersey. I received this e-mail in one of my inboxes earlier Wednesday afternoon:
The over-taxed people of New Jersey are simply tired of extremist environmentalist interest groups preventing our energy independence and supporting absurd regulations that engender $4 gasoline. The free market has come a long way towards cleaning up the fossil fuel extraction and refinement process, and continued extremist objections no longer hold any weight.
New Jersey demands a balanced approach to solving the energy crisis! Such a program, as proposed by Senator McCain, would include the development of alternative fuels along with untapped traditional resources. Barack Obama seems to also now approve of a such a diversified approach, but the Senator from Illinois changes his mind daily so any potential agreement is grounded in pure speculation. What we don't want is socialist, Kyoto Protocol-style legislation that drives industry and taxpayers out of the state. The high-minded elitists that operate special interest groups can afford to rant about carbon footprints and toilet paper conservation. Hard working Americans have to worry about affording the trip to work.
It's up to you, Save Jerseyans. Tired of the same old, special-interest driven, preachy, liberal elitism resulting in $4 gasoline? E-mail/call/mail the Shulman campaign and let them know that New Jersey wants energy independence now:

Shulman Supporters,
Scott Garrett has recently received a lifetime rating of 8% on environmental issues from the Environment New Jersey group, and a right-wing blog actually congratulated him on it!
Let Scott know what you think! Click here to view the blog and you can vote on its (un)impressiveness, as well as submit a comment.
Regards,
Evan

Under normal circumstances, I would thank Mr. Evan Johnson for helping drive traffic to Save Jersey and leave it at that. However, the criticism of the Shulman folks really perplexes my simple conservative brain. Since when is calling for energy independence a "right-wing" position? Last I checked, a strong majority of New Jerseyans favor drilling and expanding our use of traditional energy resources. It's certainly not that New Jersey or Rep. Garrett opposes a healthy environment. No one seriously wants to choke on smog or swim in sewage. I would gladly, if it were possible, run my automobile on Skittles and sunshine.Shulman for Congress

Fool! You're playing right in the hands of Big Candy... Skittles indeed!
Personally, I prefer unicorn tears. They're renewable, but I must warn you, you feel bad using them.
At least that is even more believable then we can flip a switch and *presto* alternative energy. We need gas and oil for the next few decades / until realistic alternatives are available. I just don't quite understand the reluctance to effect an actual solution to this problem. This is not rocket science we're talking about here... its jamming a pipe in the group to extract Goodness. We've been at it for years, a few more can't hurt and may actually help.

If Mr. "Rooney" had the courage of his convictions, perhaps he would look himself in the mirror and perform a gut check. First of all, all Mr. Johnston did was post a link to a savejersey article. That's free press for the website and allows people to express their OWN opinions.
SECONDLY, what is MR. "ROONEY" doing on Shulman's volunteer list in the first place? Double agent?? Secret Spy??? He's clearly either using a false name on the blog or on the list; in either case, this is some surely underhanded play.
LASTLY, how DARE MR. "ROONEY" publish a cell phone number from someone's private email list??? This is a blatant violation of privacy and the exact kind of nuttiness one would expect from a right-wing nut job. We already know from the Patriot Act that privacy isn't really important to these people, but who suspected it could get THIS dirty?
The sad irony is that this fanged attack still doesn't go anywhere near towards answering the blog response I myself posted to that initial article, saying that isn't WHAT Garrett proposes so much as WHY he does so. Garrett supported drilling far before this was an issue, because it meant MONEY IN HIS POCKET, not because it was good or bad for the economy. That's a separate debate Republicans have continued to dodge. He's a corporate dog whose soul is bought and paid for by Big Oil. No discussion on that issue.
Shame on you, Mr. "ROONEY". Why don't you come out from your hiding place and act like a man. Oh, wait. You're a sad Garrett lapdog, just as he is Big Oil's lapdog. Ruff ruff, Mr. Rooney, I think your Alpo's on the way.

Hey Daniel - waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
I don't think "Mr. Rooney" is hiding. As a matter of fact, he posts under his real name - unlike many of YOUR lame lap dogs at Blue Jersey. I can't wait to see Garrett wipe the floor with Shulman.
Why don't you come clean and tell people who you are? It's pretty clear you're just a flunky for Shulman.
Rooney has owned the Shulman campaign for two weeks!

Hmm...was there an issue in there? I thought that's what I was trying to point out. Issue dodging is like a professional sport for you people!!
Btw "waaaaa"...your enlightened reply STILL doesn't address the issue of underhanded tactics in exposing someone's personal information online. Unless "waaaaa" is actually your name...flunky, indeed.
At least I arm myself with a brain before engaging in the style of verbal diarrhea you seem to think of as "writing." Still waiting for you neanderthals to catch up.
Perpetually, disgustedly yours,
-Daniel

Here's the bottom line BJ Lap Dog: your boy, Evan, sent out an email that called this blog unimpressive (I bet SaveJersey gets more hits than the Blind Rabbi's campaign site) because it congratulated Garrett for not being beholden to the far-left environmentalist hacks.
If Mr. Rooney got his hands on this email, shame on Evan. Stop crying because Evan is an amateur and he got owned by someone in Camden County!
Go back to stuffing envelopes and weaving your hemp necklace.
Perpetually not yours,
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

For the record, according to Alexa (www.alexa.com), shulmanforcongress.com is currently ranked 3,752,300 for traffic, while savejersey.com is ranked 5,611,343.
So if you bet that SaveJersey gets more hits than Dennis Shulman's website, you would have lost.

Sigh...the only amateur here is clearly you, the only one still refusing to talk about the issue. Left-wing environmentalist hacks??? 96% of the scientific community believe that climate change is man-made, and the only ones who don't are those paid off by oil companies, like YOUR BOY Scott Garrett.
This is the same neanderthal who thinks evolution is a myth and that people rode around on dinosaur backs 5000 years ago.
Tell me something, oh wise one. If this same environmental group has rated every other person in Congress higher than Garrett (even some at 100%), then how is Garrett such a champion of moderates? If the average Congressional rating is in the mid-50's, how can Garrett be anything but a "far left anti-environmentalist pro-oil nut?"
It isn't just drilling. This rating is based on votes including giving tax breaks to oil companies (the same ones responsible for the high prices YOU pay at the pump), against penalties for price gouging, and against diversifying the energy portfolio, which is the REAL path to energy independence.
This is the last comment I will make on the ISSUE, because you still haven't addressed it and I'm clearly wasting my breath talking to someone who probably isn't smarter than a fifth grader. Go do your homework before it's bedtime. You might learn something. Woof woof, lapdog.

Children, name calling? really? Grow up and attempt to have some dignity.

Daniel,
First, you said the issue was that Mr. Rooney put contact info on the web for some low level staffer of a campaign with no shot...
Now, the issue is the Garrett's environmental record. Quite frankly, I'm not going to get into an argument over environmental issues because they're just not that important to me (gasp: someone who doesn't have the environment tops on their issue list!).
SO, you favor increasing taxes on the oil companies - who will in turn increase prices. Hmmm....makes a lot of sense right? Wrong.
You see, we really do live in a capitalist society. Capitalism is why you have your cute Chuck Taylors and that awesome Che Guerva t-shirt that was made in Indonesia - and why you can sit in your parent's basement on that EVIL Mac computer while listening to The Beatles on your iPod.
But remember - corporations are EVIL and the downfall of all poor Americans.
Take a look around your parent's basement and count how many things just sitting around were made by some evil corporate giant. I look forward to your answer.
