  1. Asskanim brought Phil murphy to lkwd for themselves they did not give the public a chance to meet him. It was a disgusting display of elitism and askanus treating the olam like children in their pockets. They represent only themselves the olam will vote for whoever they wish or feel will be better for them

    1. You think Murphy couldn't walk down Clidton and give a press conference like Jack will do? He could hace. Askonim didn't stop him. He just didn't want to. He's not that type of guy.

    3. Literally every step was open so stop lying. Every stop had Amcha Yidden.

      Get over it.

    4. Lies lies and more lies

      The public was not invited or informed ahead of time, the schedule was only known to the well connected and the VIP's who were invited. The simple amcha yidden were not given an opportunity to meet murphy.

  2. Right. His 7 hours in Lakewood are a complete secret. No locations or person was publicized. Even R' Meir coldnt answer direct questioning as to specific location of any place he's visiting. Interesting, the scoop comments all anti-murphy!

  5. while a 16-year court is virtually meaningless
    it is easy vote-getter implying the government's actually doing something and catch some low-hanging fruit

  7. I will not vote for Murphy. Let the askonim vote for him. Ciaterelli may not have the askonom vote but he will have the people's vote. He came to meet the people.

  9. “fortunately enough people in this town have 'shoulders' to ignore them”

    Really? Is that why in every local election this town comes out like a bunch of sheep and vote in the morons who destroyed the town in the first place?
    Don’t kid yourself not enough of us go out and vote and we don’t nominate viable candidates who can win.

    1. Any candidate is viable if enough people agree to vote for him/her.

  10. Now that Gimmel is in the opposition, a terrible draft law was proposed. Where are all the professional protestors? Don't they care about giyus? Or do they only care about it when Gimmel is in the government? Are they only bothered that they are not in the government?

    2. No viable candidate has ever been put up against the Va'ad. Some crazy guy comes, announces he will lower taxes without the foggiest clue how he will do so, and the keyboard warriors cheer him on. Or he claims 'no more building', with no idea of what the laws and regulations are, and he expects us to support him.

      Bring someone with a track record of success in something, who has a manifesto that shows he knows how to balance conflicting needs in a town, and let him campaign normally. Not online, and not piggy backing on old grievances. Don't tell us how you support Trump or nonsense like that. Tell us what you can do for US.

  11. It was never about gimel or giyus. It was always about fighting Rav Shteinman. Don't kid yourself.
