TheNext J.SchroederPage

How deliciously unproductive lol; one ex-candidate for freeholder in 2011, Jim Schroeder, writing in a letter to the editor, calling out one ex-candidate for Congress, the 2010 ATLANTIC COUNTY REGULAR DEMOCRAT, INC; Column A candidate, Gary Stein, and perhaps calling me a liar regarding MY letter to the editor the week before.  This is fun!  Naturally, Mr. Schroeder didn't mention me by name.  That would be giving me a little extra name recognition going forward in the upcoming (contested) primary election on June 5th, for the prized opportunity to run against Frank "Landslides" LoBiondo in the fall. I was their candidate by default in 2010 (to their everlasting embarrassment. I was a compassionate conservative, a registered Republican, right up to filing deadline when I changed political parties.  A manual laborer-working stiff too, I am!   The embodiment of type person who these phony's claim to represent in the Democratic party.... ).    Two Democrat losers, me and Schroeder, no matter how you slice it, now feuding in the Current.  And a third loser on the way, Cassandra Shober, the 2012 ATLANTIC COUNTY REGULAR DEMOCRAT, INC. She ain't beating LoBiondo and the Republicans either. 

Early on, I went over all these election dynamics with the ringleader of this small minded organization, Pat D'Arcy, before that rubber stamp of a  convention of theirs on the 25th of March .... where (are you listening,Jim) I most definitely was not invited.  Yet, I know the Republican opposition better than anyone.  I KNOW ..... LOBIONDO.  Don't you Democrats get it!  There's over 100 pages on my web site, most dealing with big issues of the day, but quite a few dedicated to my laser beam ehhh, obsession with Lobi. And we had some unfinished business, Lobi and I.  Goes back to when when we sat down before the editorial review board at the Courier-Post in Cherry Hill and the Congressman, to put it nicely,  continued to be untruthful about his opposition on the 2007 Iraq troop surge.  Actually, this has it's roots in 2008 when Lobi pulled a fast one during a debate at Stockton College and completely buffaloed the 2008 ATLANTIC COUNTY REGULAR DEMOCRAT, INC., candidate, Dave Kurkowski.  I was in the audience when Lobi feigned horror at being asked why he, LoBiondo, missed a certain vote in 2007.  He misled poor Dave by bringing up some damn funeral (sorry about your late father-in-law, Frank).  Funeral or not; missed vote or not; the Congressman did quietly go on the record just before the Surge vote (he told us so at the 08 debate) ... the pivotal vote on the ultimately successful, but at the time controversial, President Bush and General Patreous, 2007 Iraq Troop Surge.  I did my research and wasn't going to fall for any LoBi theatrics in 2010.  Four, count them, four editorial boards in 2010 did trust his bogus explanations, over my vociferous objections.  This important business will be settled in 2012, and I'll be the one to finish it, not Ms. Shober.  I'll be the one to talk about Health Care as well, not Ms. Shober (the wife of a medical malpractice lawyer and former law partner of D'Arcy's).  I'll beat the perky novice and ATLANTIC COUNTY REGULAR DEMOCRAT, INC candidate on June 5th primary day, by focusing on the most important issue of our time, the miserable disbursement of American health care to our citizenry.  The Troop Surge issue?  Not that important to the economically hard hit 2nd district voter, and that particular issue will get settled privately, in a "side-bar"  at the next sit down before the editorial endorsement board for the two upcoming House candidates, Gary Stein and Frank LoBiondo. 

But I digress. Mr. Schroeder, the "Convention" was  an "open" convention only insofar as anyone could attend  if they paid the crummy $25 bucks at the door.  If you're an announced candidate for Congress  in a Dec. 11th, 2011  article in local daily, as I've been, and you call D'Arcy twice unsuccessfully in February (as I did) before finally showing up unannounced at his medical malpractice law firm to kiss his ring (as I did) and then your not invited to the "open" convention, then the fix is in.   What's more, when you turn up at Senator Jim Whelan's "Open House" event (again, mind you) before the convention, and are not invited to the upcoming affair by one Jim Schroeder (full disclosure, Jim.  You and I spoke at length about my frustrations with this entire sordid business) then certainly, one can conclude that the fix is indeed in. 

What to do about unhappy campers?  I'd be happy to debate this difference of opinion with Jim Schoeder, anytime , anywhere.  In the meantime I have my work cut out for me as an "off-column" candidate.  Unfortunately most people blindly vote "the column" and have no idea really who any of the candidates are, unless your a big name player, like an entrenched Frank LoBiondo or Robert Menendez, or President, like Barack Obama.
