Piling on

An astute reader pointed out that Anthony Chiappone also appears on Vin Gopal’s the list of distinction on the Kucinich website. Some of you may recognize that name, he was also in the Assembly when he was indicted and pled guilty to election campaign finance crimes.

So for those of you keeping score at home, Vin Gopal lists three State Assembly campaigns he has worked on, and two of the three have been convicted of crimes involving their offices. Interestingly, both Vas and Chiappone were caught breaking campaign finance laws. Who was the common thread on their campaigns? Vin Gopal.

Don’t get me wrong, Vin seems like a good kid, if a little goofy. I don’t dislike him, heck, we are even friends on Facebook. But he is clearly unfit for elective office.

    “we were taught to never mention the opponents’ names, unless it is to correct outrageous lies, or point out an obvious illegality or wrongdoing in their record, that needs to be considered by voters”

    as a voter, I am happy the record was corrected to reflect his work history, he worked as campaign manager for a politician that went to jail. NOW as a voter I can CONSIDER if he warrants my vote, since he went about town boasting as a business owner, leaving out his past political record.

    Lil Bob That Thinks He Can,

    Breaking News…

    The Asbury Park Press is NOTORIOUSLY LEFTIST leaning in their endorsements.

    I noticed you didn’t take the time to address point # 3 from Jerry though. That’s because it doesn’t fit your Democrat Shill Talking Points

    I have seen the fliers. They are a disgrace and the candidates should be ashamed. This shows a complete lack of honor or character. Beck, Casagrande and Angelini do not desrve to be re-elected. I have never voted for a Democrat for at the State (or Federal) level but if I lived in there district at the very least I would not vote at all and I might pull the lever for their opposition.

    Freespeaker – you are an idiot, they endorsed 17 Republicans and only 3 Democrats and Gopal was the only Democratic leg candidate from Monmouth County.

    APP is anything but Democratic.

    And what past? He was 20 years old. I don’t live in the district but you guys representing everything wrong with politics, defending the in indefensible.

    Wheres Art?

    BREAKING NEWS

    Cassagrande Anglini and Beck ALL supported

    Harry Larrison, Donald DiFranciso, and all the GOP mayors in bid rig.

    By association, they are all corrupt.

  6. U R N Idiot said at 3:22 pm on November 6th, 2011:

    Hey Breaking News….Casagrande and Angelini weren’t even in politics during Big Rig. AND they didn’t work directly for not ONE, but TWO convicted criminals

  7. Bob English said at 3:31 pm on November 6th, 2011:

    How about everyone man-up for 2 minutes, put your real name on a post and say whether you would have let that ad/flyer run if you were the candidate and the state party wanted you to sign off on it before mailing it to voters? Simple one word post…..yes or no will suffice.

    Bob English: NO

  8. BREAKING NEWS said at 4:38 pm on November 6th, 2011:

    How about that Beck got her first donation in 1999 from Solomon Dwek? Does that make her too close to corruption also? Or that she campagined for and endorsed many of the people in bid rig? Thats association.

  9. Sage is an ass said at 4:54 pm on November 6th, 2011:

    Hey Jim Sage-

    Has it occurred to you that EVERYONE ignores you, not just Beck?

    Get a life

  10. They are all wrong said at 6:29 pm on November 6th, 2011:

    Having seen the ads, put out by both camps, both sides got nasty.

    Call it a lesson learned, and all camps clean up their acts

  11. Jim Sage said at 8:52 pm on November 6th, 2011:

    When I requested to see proof of the Dwek campaign contributions given to charity–BECK REFUSED!!!

    Is this going to get deleted for the third time??

  12. Jim Sage said at 8:59 pm on November 6th, 2011:

    “EVERYONE” ignores me??? Apparently not you, lol

  13. Jim Sage said at 9:02 pm on November 6th, 2011:

    Grow up.

  14. Jim Sage said at 9:09 pm on November 6th, 2011:
