		<description><![CDATA[Here's a Staten Island Congressman who was caught using Bergen County Clerk Kathe Donovan's 1996 campaign playbook.  

<b>McMahon Campaign Hits Grimm For Taking 'Jewish Money'</b>
The file, labeled "Grimm Jewish Money Q2," for the second quarter fundraising period, shows a list of over 80 names..."  <a href='http://www.observer.com/2010/politics/mcmahon-campaign-hits-grimm-taking-jewish-money'>http://www.observer.com/2010/politics/mcmahon-campaign-hits-grimm-taking-jewish-money</a>

When we first learned of this race baiting attack, we at <a href='http://www.thestatenj.com/'>THESTATE</a> couldn't help but recall the contentious 1996 campaign between Kathe Donovan and Steve Rothman for the NJ CD-16 House seat vacated by the soon to be Senator Robert "The Torch" Torricelli.  

During the closing months of the 1996 race, Donovan launched her "one of us" campaign against Rothman; her aim was to convince South Bergen voters - a largely white ethnic constituency - to support the Irish Donovan over the Jewish Rothman. 

Donovan’s "<a href="http://www.thestatenj.com/engine/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/GladHands.pdf">Last-minute pitch to white ethnics</a>" received ample media coverage from the New Jersey press (although Republicans around the state remained mute on the issue).  The New York Times even released an article publicizing her overtly racist advertisements.  The article revealed that Donovan’s advertisement "<a href="http://www.thestatenj.com/engine/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/EthnicAd.pdf">extorts voters to ‘Vote Irish-Italian-German Pride</a>" and proclaims: ‘<a href="http://www.thestatenj.com/engine/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/EthnicAd.pdf">Kathleen Donovan: She’s One of Us!’</a>”

Apparently, a Congressman in neighboring Pennsylvania wants to tax us a penny for every dollar we draw out of the ATM.  Outrageous.  Simply Outrageous

<b>Democrats Want to Tax Your ATM Withdrawals</b>

In their never-ending quest to separate you from your money, politicians have become pretty creative.

		<description><![CDATA[Like many people in THE STATE of NEW JERSEY (we think anyway), our opinion of Governor Chris Christie oscillates between love and hate.  However, in all fairness we strive to keep an open mind as far as his policies go and we are more than happy to publish any materials his office provides our site.
