What makes Mrs. Adler anymore qualified than Jon Ruyan to be out Congressman? Just because her husband was a member of Congress makes her qualified? Is she looking for the sympathy vote? I feel for her that she lost he husband to a heart aliment but, that doesn't mean that I want her as a member of Congress.

George,
The vote that you are talking about was NOT TO END MEDICARE it was to give seniors who ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 56 (currently) a voucher to purchase their own insurance. And your response that Runyan wants to hold "phone in" meetings well, I don't know about you but, I have received at the very least three of those phone calls and I was also able to ask a question in all but 1( and no I am not a Republican). I agree that Jon Runyan had no political experience before he was duly elected buy the voters of the 3rd Congressional District. Just because Mrs. Adler had been around politics either in the State or Federal levels because of her husband does not make her qualified either. People need to wake up and see that there needs to be a change not only in the House but also in the Senate. We also need to take a look at what all of these "entitlements" are costing ALL of us. Those who are paying into the system now and those who will be paying into the system in the future, we have to look at what it is going to cost ALL of our children and grandchildren. We need to look at what is the best for the WHOLE Country and or State and not what is the best for "ME". The people who have made a lifetime career being in either Washington or Trenton need to be shown that the residents and the taxpayers are done with their business as usual attitude is not going to be tolerated anymore!

I must say first it must be hard for Mrs. Adler to try and run for her husbands seat. The death of a spouse or a loved one is devestating. She may want to continue a "legacy", however she has no Chance against Jon Runyan. He is being a very strong Congressman.

blah, blah, blah "I'll fight to create jobs . .. . ". So sick of this mantra from these people that want to "represent" us. This country is in such deep trouble just about to the point of no return. Wake up - Runyan's a mouthpiece for the "machine" and this Adler woman will be a mouthpiece for the dems and the marxist in our Oval Office. Yes, they're going for the sympathy vote.

Commenting on someones run against Jon Runyan is the sign of a border line vote for that person and gives encouragement to the democrat socialist beliefs of BHO.
Keep the donkeys out of Washington.
Jon Runyon is a congressman who has to re-elected.

A "safe" district for a Repub who hasn't done a single thing in his 2 yr. term. What a waste of representation... I hope Gilmore is happy. Taxpayers are not.

She says she wants to continue "legacy of public service" of her late husband. What is that, he was one of the most corrupt members in the state house & helped almost bankrupt the state along with Corslime before he went to Washington. REMEMBER IT WAS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY THAT VOTED CUTS IN MEDICARE!!! Then they try the old game of blame the GOP, this bimbo should just go away. We do not need her kind of liberal socialist policies. ENOUGH ALREADY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The legacy was not one that this district needs to carry on. John was a great guy but way to Liberal for this district. After trying out his promise to be reasonable he failed whan it came to actually performing. That is why we voted him out! What we need is more movement to the constitution and its intent not to a liberal attempt to support things that are proven to have hurt our society.

As a result of past "redistricting" the residents of Brick have lost two competent, qualified Congressman. First Congressman Pallone and now Congressman Smith. It deeply alarms me that the third time out will not be a charm.

And to the gentleman that refers to a woman as a "bimbo" please don't.

Apparently Shelley doesn't even live in the district. But why would the dems let that get in the way? Rules what rules?

if you don't live here your in trouble before you even file for the primary.The 3rd district representation belongs to the people of the district and a resident of our district. We don't need a carpet bagger who wants to represent us as Obama's out of district YES vote.

Man, you people need to turn off the Fox (Faux) News.

Many more need to watch FOXNEWSCHANNEL, fair balanced and unafraid.
They give the facts and facts only from both sides.It is the essence of news broadcast.
Please don't confuse the opinion shows with news.
Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel more viewers than all the rest of cable combined.

Runyan , our congressman "Of , for and by the people".

Why is every democrat a socialist? Does anyone even know what socialism is? I've seen republican proposals just as "socialist" as what democratic proposals are. With Adler, if the woman wants to run let her run! If she loses she loses.

What legacy?

wow, the rhetoric here is out of control. calling someone a bimbo or saying " spreading your legs does not give you the right to your late husbands seat" is outright incendiary and inappropriate. Mrs.Adler is a former Harvard Law Grad as well as done great things for the town of cherry hill as a councilwoman. Runyan has not done anything except voting party lines. Former late congressman Adler was able to negotiate across party lines and I would believe Mrs.Adler would be able to do the same as well.

Every Republican in the 3rd owes John Adler a debt of gratitude.

I agree that " spreading your legs does not give you the right to your late husbands seat" is inappropriate, but being a Harvard Law Grad doesn't always mean much.
The current resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is a Harvard Law Grad and even president of the Harvard Law Review.
Granted no one can find any articles published by him.

The legacy she wants is the great healthcare..For the reszt of her life..And the tax sham donkey owner is the same way

Phil,
John Adler saved you from defending "Rentboy."

.

OKAY, Now I am curious.
Who is RENTBOY????

Runyan is an inexperienced former football player with deep pockets. For that reason and that reason alone he was considered an “electable” candidate and groomed for the opportunity. And he is no Bill Bradley. Former Senator Bill Bradley was well-versed and prepared when he sought office. If Runyan had prepared himself for office prior to running; thinking that his connections and money would be sufficient, I might have credited him with the respect that our representative deserves.

In his past debate, his response with the Dred Scott decision was inexcusable. On entering political life a man should not only consider the honorable nature of the work, but also his ability to perform in its tasks. "In a word, whatever we undertake, the most thorough preparation is necessary." Any individual, who is eager to represent us, should recognize the enormous significance of their decisions and impact on our lives.

Thank you for expressing your opinion. I already have been in contact with many of our elected officials but thank you for the suggestion. Moreover, I have worked with both Congressman Pallone and Congressman Smith on several issues of importance to the residents of New Jersey and some exclusive to Brick Township. Given the lobbyist efforts relative to the sale and mistreatment of animals made on a Federal level, I would l like to see the Congressman in attendance. It would also be a good idea for him to attend a council meeting and learn first-hand what is important to the PEOPLE.

On numerous occasions, I have been to Washington and visited the halls of the Rayburn building so I will agree to disagree with you that this is not worthy of the Congressman's attention. The scope and gravity of the mistreatment of animals must be addressed on all levels. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject.

project bluebeam the reps hired sonny bono a guy who used to wear trogg the caveman fur vests and skied into a tree as well as larry craig the airport bathroom "wide stance "guy" explain that. fox news is owned by rupert murdoch. the guy all of you adore who hacked the phone of a murdered teenage girl as well as 9/11 families and families of slain soldiers. the second biggest owner of fox is a saudi sheik who wants sharia law and once offered rudy giuliani $10 million to say 9/11 was our fault. there is no limit to the bile you people spit up including all the "spread her legs " comments that got a "yes that wasnt nice but what about this other thing" while talking about a widow who lost her husband only months ago. so pod people enjoy glen beck the former morning zookeeper from kentucky and bill (what causes the tides?) o reilly as well as sarah palin and the other talking heads on fox like ann coulter who said life was a party for the 9/11 widows .

rick the problem is most fox viewers dont know the difference between the fox anchors and fox commentators . when sean hannity or glen beck put up facts and figures that are clearly false its mistaken as news.all of this of course is zero comfort to the family of that missing girl when they now had false hope she was still alive because when rupert murdoch was deleting her voicemails to make room (and also destroying any chance of the cops finding the killer)they thought she was doing it. one tell tale sign of a biased media is when they dont cover their own scandals. i never saw on fox once the testimony murdoch and his son were busy doing for weeks in london over the hacking. every other media covered it why not fox? as a bench test for this i paid attention to ch 7 when this greg kelly rape accusation broke. i wondered would they cover a story about a guy who was the one everynite covering stories as lead anchor of their own newscast. they did . fox not . fair and biased . i think there couldnt be something farther from the truth.

dont believe me? go to politifact.org and see how many of the comments made by beck, hannity , limbaugh and cronies get a "pants on fire rating " on the truth meter. oh i know thats "the lefty media" . everything else besides fox must be fairy tales .

johnny d
I am so glad that you have explained that news on Fox is not correct. About 10 years ago they reported that some people had crashed airplanes into the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center.
I am happy to find out that if it was on Fox it didn't happen

Unfortunately, the only way Runyan loses is a tea party candidate runs as an independent.

John,
Have you ever heard of the Edenton Tea Party?

The Edenton Tea Party was one of the earliest organized women’s political actions in United States history. On October 25, 1774, Mrs. Penelope Barker organized, at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth King, fifty-one women in Edenton, North Carolina. Together they formed an alliance wholeheartedly supporting the American cause against “taxation without representation.”

In response to the Tea Act of 1773, the Provincial Deputies of North Carolina resolved to boycott all British tea and cloth received after September 10, 1774. The women of Edenton signed an agreement saying they were “determined to give memorable proof of their patriotism” and could not be “indifferent on any occasion that appears nearly to affect the peace and happiness of our country . . . it is a duty that we owe, not only to our near and dear connections . . . but to ourselves.'
http://www.northcarolinahistory.org/encyclopedia/50/entry

All of these ladies were " housewives and stay at home moms".

Excelent response Rick. In my research over the past year, what makes this country so great is a few decades to the right and the a few decades to the left has keep us in the middle. Our current problem is we need to go to the left, but we ended up with a socialist as a president, who took a radical hard left turn and has sent the country on a downward spiral. What good is it to bring in the widow of a someone who has left due to unfortunate reasons. His political connection were inherited is not a good reason.

actually rick fox first reported that it was a cessna that had hit the trade center . they were a little off. as for the 1774 tea party yes they fought until they got women the right to vote about 130 yrs later. the difference between these clowns in the wal mart parking lot yelling and wearing ben franklin costumes is the original tea party dumping tea would have been a felony in those days and could have been punished by death. the blue haired women holding up "keep your govt hands off my medicare"(who did they think ran medicare?) are merely annoying. the tim o connor research institute doesnt teach students anything before jan 20 2009. a shame because they are missing lessons on bush who under his confused watch we got 9/11 , katrina, 2 wars , a starbucks in bagdad finally, a 2007 recession and 700,000 jobs a month being lost when he left office with a 19% approval rating. @john smith isnt it funny that out of the many people who see right thru o connor and the many others using nicknames on here he wants to know your name? why doesnt he ask everyone why they dont use their real names? . the last thing you need john smith is the nuts in town knowing your real name .

and rick they would be spinning in their graves if they knew that their names were being used by tea party types who vote in the very people who are undermining this country. hypocrites that say they dont want big govt but are fine with having trans canada use eminent domain against nebraska farmers to get the keystone pipeline built. republicans who get in front of the cameras and condemn the last stimulus then go home and hand behind their backs take the check. those who told americans working in detroit to drop dead and let gm fail. now its the top car seller in the world. the founding fathers wanted seperation of church and state and now we have gop debaters saying religion will control policy.long gone are those men of long ago like lincoln and jfk who saw a better future for america. in the 60s we were bursdting with invention and new ideas . we put men on the moon. today we have whiners who dont believe in solar energy or electric cars instead choosing to use the same energy we,ve been using since 1870. now all they give us is a corporate raider and mega millionaire and a guy who was thrown out on ethics charges and cheats on each wife if they get a case of the flu. its sad.

"ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country" those words are like kryptonite to the tea party. instead of wanting this country to move forward into the 21 st century they whine about tax dollars being spent on new energy . meanwhile $4 billion a year of their tax dollars go to big oil subsidies.we used to have the brightest and the best now we have the tea party calling teachers and firemen thugs while the bankers who robbed american tax dollars to the tune of $8 trillion are to be protected.we let corporations vote as people while they pay less than half the tax rate everyone else does . the founding fathers would be very disappointed that the best we have done in 200 yrs is have a tea party and those like tim o connor who denounce big govt while he pushes for eminent domain in lacey. eminent domain is the worst kind of big govt.

and rick "the best trained army in the world"? they marched in formation wearing red coats. it made it easier for the colonial army to shoot them in the dark. washington defeated them with an army of starving men most without even shoes in winter. dont confuse big numbers with superior training. the arrogance of the english and their overconfidence was their own best enemy.

wow rick thanks for that newsflash most of us must have missed the superbowl last nite.you are clueless in understanding eminent domain.decades ago it was rightfully used to build the interstate highway system. but not ever for a pipeline. the koch brothers (the same billionaires who were supplying iran before they got caught) have an oil terminal at the beginning of the tar sands in canada and a terminal in texas where it ends . transcanada has already said this oil will be sold to the highest bidder in the global market . so most of this oil will be sold to china etc. it will do zip as far as lowering gas prices in the u.s . of course thats why the republicans just tried to introduce a bill that cuts the army corps of engineeers and the bureau of land management from inspecting the plans for it. good thing too since the existing keystone pipeline has leaked 14 times in the past year alone. those like rick are the cause of the worst things in this country because of their misguided selfishness

Rick, the highways came to be the same way. Very similar to what we need to do for the bypass road.

That road will get built sooner if we can get rid of the bumbling incumbents.

This has nothing to do with thr article, just responding to you. But then again my anti incumbent campaign has everything to do with the article. The wife of the incumbent fits in the same category for me.

Especially if her call to fame is running on his political connections!

??????
Shelley Adler, Widow of Late John Adler, To Seek 3rd District Congressional Seat????

You guys are a riot. Her husband was the Congressman, not her. Therefore she could never be an incumbent. However, she wants to act like the incumbent. Her call to fame is her husbands connections. She is trying to be a self proclaimed incumbent. Let's see the definition of that!

rick instead of searching your websters for definitions or looking to the library of congress for things that are only proposed legislation instead of already existing try watching a senate hearing now and then. from this past friday the heads of blm and the army corps of engineers testified that the bill 3548 undermines all agencies who normally review projects like this.they are trying to push thru a bill in less than 30 days before anyone reviews it . the actual course of the pipeline hasnt even been confirmed yet. its in direct violation of the rivers and harbors act as well as the clean water act of 73. again this oil will be sold in foreign markets and brig gen steven anderson who spent many yrs in iraq said it will be a national security threat. it wont lower the price of gas one cent. most economists say it will raise prices since we will have to compete with china for that oil. and youre right john tim o connor holding up his giant photo with his forehead as his $3 easel was collapsing was funnier than most sitcoms.

Bob,
That must have been an interesting Senate hearing. That bill is HR 3548. That is a bill introduced in the House, but the Senate.
Why would the Senate be holding hearing on a House bill that is currently in the House Subcommittee on Energy and Power?

For your information the Library of Congress web site lists every bill introduced in either house. http://thomas.loc.gov
Try it.
You can find any bill introduced during the past 12 Congresses and their summary, status and text.

while rick is all consumed on which house this bill sits in every agency that has reviewed projects like this up until today are being cut out of the application process. funny how reps were for the bush executive order of 2004 which called for a complete review is now being ignored. the koch brothers fund most republicans so its easy to see who bought them this time.

moral of the story is rick has no problem with a foreign corporation like trans canada taking the homes of americans using eminent domain so they can export oil overseas. same as tim o connor here who bashes quinn but is on the same page as quinn and the rest of the good ole boys who are spending millions to have eminent domain be used against lacey residents. years ago it was used to build the interstate highways now its used for a pipeline and a 1 mile shortcut to shoprite for o connor.

Excellent response BN.

Is that Tom Foolery's brother?

The dems will pull the same crap in Arizona's 8th district. "It's Gabby's seat!"

That's not the same as saying the Democratic candidate would claim to be a "self proclaimed incumbent".

Unless, whoever is appointed to fill Ms Giffords' unfinished term runs for election this November.

In that case the candidate would be the actual incumbent.

The sad thing is that Runyan has failed. A major disappointment.

Well John, it amazed me that you believe, so strongly that only your opinion counts. But then again, you know what they say about opinions!

Runyan abandoned his campaign promises to jump on the Gilmore band wagon. He is doing nothing more than photo op's for Lacey.

Is that yhe one with the attorneys generals office or the DEP?

You know since you brought up the sand mines in town, the people of Lacey should be reminded about how they are not required to comply with the zoning regulations. Part of the good old boy network. You know above the law.

I guess John Smith did not want to talk any more about how the Republicans in our town who only represent the interests of the good old boys, since he deleted his comments.

Sorry John, I thought you deleted your comments. I rather enjoy our exchanges. It is apparent we do not agree, but that is what makes it a discussion.

Here ya go:
http://www.citizenlink.com/2012/03/22/u-s-house-votes-to-eliminate-obamacare-panel/ - 38k
The REPUBLICAN controlled House of Representatives voted to eliminate the board created to essentially DENY CARE TO MEDICARE PATIENTS. It will, however, face an uphill battle to get enough votes to repeal it in the DEMOCRATE controlled Senate. Of course the DEMOCRATE President will veto it if it does pass. So the "Extreme" Leftwing is responsible for the rationing of care that will result if the panel is allowed to exist (along with the entire Obamacare law). Vote Republican to increase chances of repealing the devastating Obamacare law. More to come.

http://youtu.be/ieT6cymsldM - More on Obamacare - please share with other since the "so'called media" isn't doing it's job but rather acting as a cheerleader for the left.

More infringement on our rights by the party of Adler:

Talk about extreme!!

Runyan has been a joke. He has done nothing but vote against the best interests of the constituents he is supposed to serve, to line his pockets with lobbying money. Whoever the challenger is, I'll work for them, donate to them, and help the campaign. Jon Runyan Doesn't have the slightest idea what 'public servant' means.

Our Country has some serious problems:
