“Op-Ed: Cory Booker: Honorary Member of the Tribe”

He may be a member of your tribe if your Chief is Obama but I don’t belong to a Tribe. I am part of a Nation – Am Yisroel.

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach likes Corey Booker. Wow, I’m not impressed. He also like Samantha Powers. You can pick & choose.

“….an overwhelmingly Democratic state,..” Yes, NJ is an overwhelmingly Democratic state. With some common sense the state’s electorate can elect a Republican Senator just as they elected a Republican Governor.

There is a Republican running for the same seat. Steve Lonegan is a decent person who would be a great Senator from NJ. His positions are closer to our positions in the Frum Community and that’s what we should be interested in. Google him and make your own informed decision.

If Friedlander is involved, run like h…….because the only person who benefits from a Friedlander endorsement is Friedlander. Look at him drool over the toeyva in the NY Mayors race. His candidate is against everything we stand for. Feh!

Cory Booker’s “deep connection to Judaism” didn’t factor into his vocal public support for toeiva marriage.

If they want to “devouer” books, how about “5000 year leap”, or “Liberty and Tyranny” or anything by Alexis de Tocqueville or hey, don’t wanna read books? Try movies. Maybe the John Adams biopic that was on HBO a while back. It should be REQUIRED material for anyone going to Congress.

“One of the biggest issues facing the Orthodox Jewish community, both in New Jersey and in communities across the United States is school choice and the rising cost of tuition for non-public school students. Booker is very aware of growing grassroots advocacy efforts across the nation, including in New Jersey, whereby parents of non-public school students seek much-needed relief through a variety of legislative steps, including scholarship tax credits, mandated services reimbursement, special-education initiatives, and other programs. I asked Booker about his thoughts regarding government relief for tuition-paying parents when it is constitutionally permissible to do so.

Booker strongly supports New Jersey’s Opportunity Scholarship Act, which would create a scholarship tax credit program for New Jersey students in failing schools. “I’ve been a longstanding proponent of scholarships for kids stuck in poverty and obviously I’ve had a strong alliance with the Orthodox Jewish community for that reason,” Booker said.”

WOW!!! a non-question with a non-answer. VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS VOUCHERS

I don’t want to hear anything other than that word. Stupid PR fluff piece. A sham mayor that has accomplished very little in all his years. Pro-tax, pro-”soak the rich” (not that theres any left in his city), Pro-abortion, Pro-Obamacare. “Nuff” said.
