“Democratic officials are ramping up their attacks on John Heyer, one of five hopefuls to succeed Councilman Bill DeBlasio, slamming right-of-center candidate as too “conservative” for the Park Slope, Carroll Gardens and Windsor Terrace district because of his opposition to gay marriage and abortion rights…

In addition to Fleishman’s call for Democrats to reject Heyer, IND President Kenn Lowy told The Brooklyn Paper that he would grill Heyer on his Dem credentials at Tuesday night’s debate on the abortion and gay marriage issues.

“Democrats, especially liberal progressive Democrats in Brooklyn, believe in a woman’s right to choose,” Lowy said. “But John’s answer on this issue, and on same-sex marriage, calls into question his commitment to the separation of church and state. He believes that life begins at conception and that abortion is murder.”

“Lowy also objected to Heyer’s answer to a recent candidate questionnaire about gay marriage.

“I don’t think that government has the right to define ‘marriage,’” Heyer wrote in the Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats survey. “For me, [marriage] is a religious institution and therefore has no place in government debate.”

Lowy objected. “That answer makes no sense,” he said. “Suppose you’re an atheist?”

All other candidates in the race — Brad Lander, Josh Skaller, Gary Reilly and Zuckerman — favor same-sex marriage. Skaller has already won the CBID endorsement, but Fleishman is pushing for Zuckerman.

Rav Moshe Feinstein and other gedolim of previous generations have said that a jew is NOT allowed to vote for anyone that is for the toeivah community because the minute you “open the door” for them in the name of something else you just gave them “rights”.

Find another candidate and stop supporting sickos.

I also say shame on Hikind for constantly telling the heimishe oilem to vote for people that have agendas that are against the torah. Hikinds record over the last few years have been deplorable.

Hikind telling us to vote for a guy over Simcha Felder last year was deplorable. The guy that Hikind told us to vote for has a criminal record and he picks a guy like that over a frum person who at least we know what he has done for us and what he is all about?

Frum people like yourself has to do what is right instead of what is good for your pocket or only your own constintuency. Doing what is right for ALL OF US is more important than getting “your guy or my guy” in there.

What we know is NOT right is voting a person in who is for toeivahs. If you disagree with this then your disagreeing with Rav Moshe Feinstein and many other gedolim who said the same thing on these issues. So are you bigger than these gedolim?
