HOLY SHI….
These are really good! Someone should take this thread, edit out the inside jokes, and send it to the NJ’s “community voices” editor.
It would be the best thing the paper published in three years.
I always like the NJ hate crime reports
Jason:
No, I really meant SOUTHERN Sussex County. Check out the districts Bill Lee won: Bridgeville, Greenwood, Laurel, Delmar, Gumboro, Selbyville, Ocean View – it’s a red stripe across the northwest and southern borders, the areas represented in the House by Dave Wilson, Biff Lee and Gerald Hocker, in the Senate by Thurman Adams, Bob Venables and George Bunting and on the county level by Sam Wilson Jr. and Vance Phillips.
Bunting is the only real liberal in the bunch, and he’s been kind of out of commission for a while with his health problems.
I can see one of those seats I wouldn’t mind giving back to the GOP.

Smitty, Smiity, Smitty, –C’mon back here. Comment rescue….the teeth…I meant from your previously saying the “party kicking you in the teeth”. Hope it doesn’t read like I want to punch you. Sorry!
Now, get on the bus..first row.

What did the NJ publish three years ago that was as good as being handcuffed by the Secret Service?
OUT: Seven-person echo chamber
IN: Eight-person echo chamber (Hi, X!)
OUT: Pretending money is no object.
IN: Pretending you have no money because your imaginary retirement fund has corrected with the stock market.
OUT: Drinking Liberally way up at the north-ass end of the State.
IN: Drinking Liberally in the center of the State (with Jason buying first two rounds on Drinking Liberally meetings on odd numbered dates and when its dark out on even numbered dates)
OUT: SCORES
IN: Fairways? EWWWWwwwwWWW
Now that I think about it, Drinking Liberally at Fairways is an excellent idea. It would knock down the perception that we Dems are much more socially sophisticated than Republicans. And if you disagree with this, answer whether it would be more likely to see George Bush or Hillary Clinton in Fairways.
Whoa . . . backup. Please describe for me, Mr. or Ms. ptthbbt, how George Bunting is a liberal.
Oh, I don’t know… maybe his stances on environmental protection and education?
Fairways?? I dare you!
Better yet, how about Sheridan’s in Smyrna (Piece of Ireland, Jr.)???
If there were some Drinking Liberally attempts in Kent Co., I missed it but would love another chance!
