By embracing the far-right ideology and knee-jerk reactionary politics of the Tea Party, John Driscoll has aligned himself with a radical movement that would cut aid to our local schools, take away health care for seniors and has already driven our economy further into a ditch.

"The choice facing voters this November has suddenly become crystal clear, and it's a choice between Bergen County's middle class values and the far-right that would cut the middle class off at the knees" said John Duthie, campaign manager for Senator Bob Gordon, Assemblywoman Connie Wagner and Tim Eustace. "Our communities need a team standing up for them that actually understands their concerns and will work to protect funding to our local schools, look out for our seniors and provide property tax relief to our struggling residents. By pledging his allegiance to the Tea Party and its radical politics, John Driscoll has now shown that he is incapable of understanding the reality Bergen County's middle class families are living every day."

Murray, an unrepentant Nanny State cheerleader and patron saint of the Washington lobbyist, is a double-exclamation point on the debt deal's rotten joke.
