Patrick Murray on a Little victory over Pallone: “it could well happen”

Media Buzz Helps Little in Final Days Of Campaign

By Art Gallagher

Patrick Murray, director Monmouth University Polling Institute told the Wall Street Journal that Anna Little’s election to Congress from New Jersey’s 6th district “could well happen” in a piece published online today.

In New Jersey, 11-term Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone has seen his lead over the Republican tea-party favorite Anna Little narrow rapidly as undecided independents have broken in Ms. Little’s favor.

“If Little wins, it will represent a complete annihilation of the Democrats in this race, and it could well happen,” says Patrick Murray, who directs the state’s Monmouth University Polling Institute. Across the state, he said, “independents are going for Republicans more than I’ve ever seen before.”

Murray produced two widely quoted polls on the NJ-6 race earlier this month.  The first had Frank Pallone leading Little by 12%, the second by 7%.

As the campaign moves into its final days, the Little’s grassroots fueled campaign is has caught the media’s attention. WNBC and MSNBC covered the race this week.  Peggy Noonan featured Little in her widely read WSJ column earlier this week. Noonan’s weekly WSJ column is usually reprinted in the NY Post on Sunday. News12 hosted a debate, a “conversation” they called it, between the candidates last evening which will be rebroadcast tonight and tomorrow night at 8.

Notable exceptions to the media coverage of the NJ-6 race are the New Jersey daily newspapers and their websites.   CNN’s website is relying on this blog, Poltickernj and Blue Jersey for its local election news in both the 6th and the 12th districts due to the dearth of coverage from APP.com, MyCentralJersey.com and NJ.com.

LITTLE: SENIORS WILL HAVE NO BETTER FRIEND THAN I

HIGHLANDS, October 29) – Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little focused her campaign’s message on the large population of seniors residing in New Jersey’s 6^th Congressional District – seniors who have been disproportionately hurt by the votes cast by Frank Pallone during his 22 years in the Congress.

“All over our district, I meet seniors who are worried for the future – theirs, and their children’s and grandchildren’s,” said Little. “They see a government taking over more and more of their decisions. They see a political class that seems no longer to care about them, despite the sacrifices they’ve made to allow younger generations to enjoy a lifestyle they couldn’t. And they fear a government that doesn’t seem to know how best to get our economy back on track.

“New Jersey seniors should know this – they’ll have no better friend than I, when I go to Congress in January,” continued Little.

“It was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast a vote to cut $500 billion from Medicare.

“It was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast a series of votes over the last 22 years to raise the national debt from $2.6 trillion to $13.6 trillion, and pass on a debt of more than $30,000 to every man, woman and child in this country – including our grandchildren.

“It was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast votes to put government bureaucrats between doctors and their patients – including their senior patients, who may now find themselves forced off their current health care coverage and into some new plan that doesn’t provide the benefits to which they’ve grown accustomed.

“And it was Frank Pallone, not I, who cast vote after vote for higher taxes and more government spending – higher taxes and more spending that saps our economy, drives up the cost of living, makes New Jersey one of the least affordable states in the country, and forces many of them to become ‘plane ticket grandparents’ – the kind of grandparents who need to use a plane ticket to see their grandchildren, because they’ve been forced to move out of state for their retirements, and only see their grandchildren at the holidays, when they get on a plane to come back to New Jersey.

“On all these fronts and more, our current Congressman has failed to lead for seniors,” said Little. “He has raised their taxes, borrowed their money, and put their children and grandchildren in debt. It’s time we stopped that, and moved in a new direction – a direction that gives New Jersey’s seniors more freedom of action, leaves more money in their pockets, and secures their ability to see the doctor of their choice.

“In four days, New Jersey will vote, and we’ll have a chance to send a fresh face to Washington,” said Little.

“If you think we’re headed in the right direction, then Frank Pallone is your man,” said Little. “But if you think we’re moving in the wrong direction, if you think you’re ready for a change, then I need your vote – because you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!”

Doctors Organization Endorses Little for Congress

Republican Congressional contender Anna Little  received the endorsement of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons this evening, at an event in New Brunswick.

“Anna Little understands that medical decisions are the most personal decisions in our lives, and should be kept between doctors and patients,” said Dr. Alieta Eck, President-elect of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), who  announced the endorsement on behalf of the AAPS. “Anna understands that the government takeover of health care will be damaging to our citizens’ abilities to choose their own doctors, make their own medical decisions, and receive the quality care of their choice.

“Government bureaucrats simply don’t know what’s best for patients,” continued Eck. “They cannot. Only patients and their doctors should make those decisions. Ann Little understands that, and Frank Pallone clearly does not. That’s why endorsing Anna Little was an easy decision.”

“I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons,” said Little. “They’re battling on the front lines of health care every day, and they know better than most just how destructive ‘PalloneCare’ is going to be.

“We need to repeal this bill as soon as possible – that’s why I’ve signed the Independent Women’s Voice ObamaCare Repeal Pledge, and that’s why I’m committed to fighting with everything I’ve got to get this law overturned once I get to Washington.

 “If you think we’re headed in the right direction, then Frank Pallone is your man,” said Little. “But if you think we’re moving in the wrong direction, then I need your vote – because you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!”

New Jersey Senator Tom Kean, Jr was on hand to introduce Little.

Vote For Anna Little

By Dick Maxson, Highlands

Here’s Why

The following was written two years ago to try to convince people that voting liberal is just dumb.  I apparently didn’t convince enough people.  Names have changed, but the sentiment is the same.  Now, after two years of liberalism/near socialism, the need for people to wake up is even more urgent.  This piece is more about why it’s important to start the pendulum-swing back towards old-fashioned values than it is about John McCain or Anna Little.  We need people like Anna Little in congress to make that happen. For the sake of your children and grandchildren, please read.

WHY I’LL VOTE FOR McCAIN

There are many things I like about Obama and a few things I don’t like about McCain.  There are many issues that need to be considered when deciding for whom to vote in an election, especially presidential and congressional.  People talk about, in order of recently perceived degree of importance, the economy; the war; taxes; crime; to name the top few.  To me, the top issue is morality.  Don’t dismiss.  This issue takes in much of the others, especially crime, including crime of all types, from the slimy street corner drug pusher, to the purveyors of unrealistic mortgages, to the packager of financial instruments too convoluted for anyone to fully understand, to the ratings agencies that called them A+, to the producers, the sellers, to all participants in the world of pornography, to the people who shove at us and our children “Two and a Half Men” and “Will and Grace,” to the welfare connivers, and on and on.  We are too easy on all types of crime.  A politician gets caught stealing and gets nine months in jail.  Any moron knows that this only encourages more graft and corruption. If I can figure a way to steal from the public trough, and I know the chances of getting caught are slim, and I know the punishment will be slight, I’m encouraged to do so. 

There are so many things I would like to say about the poor moral state of our current society, but this cannot be too long a rambling, else no one would read it.  So, I’ll state my point:  Liberalism is ruining our society!  I’m old enough to remember how things used to be.  You hear people say “we didn’t lock out doors at night.”  It’s true, we didn’t.  That was before they started “rehabilitating” the scum we now have to lock out.  “It’s not his fault he robbed that old lady’s savings, he had a tough childhood; let’s try to save him.”  I say let’s try to save all his future victims by putting him away for a long time, long enough to ensure that he’ll never do that again.  Liberalism has brought us  more crime, more handouts to slackers, more slime on our airways, more one-parent and parentless children, more drugs on out streets, more social problems of every stripe, even more economic malaise.  It’s all inter-related.  If you don’t think drugs produce internet pornography, you’re blind.  If you can’t see that pornography produces sex crimes, you’re stupid.  If you can’t see that sex crimes produce increased prison population, more broken families, more welfare costs and on and on, then you just don’t get it.  Then, most of these  problems produce more drugs, and then all other types of crimes, and on and on.  Drugs are available all over the place because we don’t execute drug dealers.  We should, because drug dealing is the worst crime, bar none.  It’s done for fun and profit.  Most murders are committed for reasons of passion, business, gangster-on-gangster, spur of the moment anger, and it’s one victim, usually.  A drug peddler victimizes the buyer, his children, his future children, his family, his parents who will later on have to spend their golden years raising their grandchildren, the taxpayers who will have to pay the welfare costs, the police costs, the legal costs, and the incarceration costs, and everyone who lives in our society.  And remember, not out of passion, necessity, or mental sickness, but purely out of greed.  Have you ever read how all the other criminals in prison ostracize and victimize the sex offenders?  I’ve always thought that was interesting.  They look upon them as really bad people who need to be punished even by other criminals.  But the sex offenders, as heinous as their acts may be, committed those acts out of their sick minds.  The other criminals are seeking a sub-class of criminal lower than themselves to vent righteous wrath upon. That’s a common psychological  ploy or rationalization.  It makes them feel less bad.  It’s hardly possible since most of them are there due to drug crimes, many of them dealers, and what’s lower than that.  We all have our sexual desires, but thankfully, most of us have normal ones, directed in acceptable channels.  Some people have unnatural desires, and, largely because they are bombarded by sexual temptation at every turn in our permissive, liberal environment, they seek to act out those desires.  Punish them, of course.  Protect us from them, of course.  But, punish more severely than we now do those whose crimes come out of greed and pure evil.  Think of it:  if we start adequately punishing drug dealers, where a person knows that if he is ever caught, let’s say, with more drugs than he can himself use in a day or two, he will absolutely be put away for a very long time, then what will be the results.  Don’t just look at next week or even next year, when incarceration numbers will go up, but look a few years down the line.  Eventually, prison populations will shrink;  all crime will go way down; welfare costs will go way down; costs of our now vast legal system will go down; everything will get better.  We might even be able to go to bed at night with our doors unlocked.  And remember, all we’ve done is take the quite logical step of severely punishing those who would kill our children for profit.

LITTLE: WHY IS FRANK PALLONE’S WEB SITE SILENT ON HEALTH CARE?

(HIGHLANDS, October 28) – Republican Congressional challenger Anna Little today maintained her campaign’s focus on Frank Pallone’s recent silence on his role in the passage of the government takeover of health care, frequently referred to in New Jersey’s 6th Congressional District as “PalloneCare.””Back in the spring, when he thought it was going to be popular, my opponent infamously said of the government takeover of health care, ‘This is not Obama’s bill. This isn’t Nancy Pelosi’s bill. This is MY bill,'” said Little. “But now that the public has learned more about what’s in it, and it’s not nearly as popular as he thought it was going to be, he’s gone radio silent – why, his campaign web site’s ‘On the Issues’ section doesn’t even MENTION health care!”

“Sadly, this is not surprising,” said Little. “All we’ve heard from Frank Pallone is distortions of my views, rather than an explanation for the votes he cast for a failed trillion-dollar stimulus package, a failed cap and trade policy that would raise everyone’s electricity bills, and the government takeover of health care.

“Of course, it’s perfectly understandable – if I had cast a vote to cut Medicare by $500 billion, reduce patient choice, put government bureaucrats between doctors and their patients, and raise taxes, I probably wouldn’t want to draw attention to it, either.

“But that’s the big difference between Frank Pallone and me – I would never have cast that vote in the first place!

“In five days, New Jersey will vote, and we’ll have a chance to send a fresh face to Washington,” said Little.

“If you think we’re headed in the right direction, then Frank Pallone is your man,” said Little. “But if you think we’re moving in the wrong direction, if you think you’re ready for a change, then I need your vote – because you cannot change Washington without changing the people we send to Washington!”
