We’ll gladly accept your apology

Sunday’s Asbury Park Press (pg. A2) reads:

“Poll: Candidates should cover expense of background checks
Most of those (they mean a landslide majority) participating in an online poll believe candidates for public office should foot the bill for detailed background checks.
‘Do you think it’s proper that candidates undergo detailed background checks at their own expense in order to be considered to run for public office?’ was the question posted last week on the web site of the Asbury Park Press, http://www.app.com/.
Of the 3,482 taking part, 74.2 percent said yes and 25.8 percent said no.“ (Please note that the Monmouth County Republican vulnerability assessments are voluntary, but even with their negative spin and distortion – we win)

They called our beloved Republican organization the politburo, and called on candidates to “crush” this much-needed reform. Crush? Biased editorials on our Freeholder board, our Party Chairman, and our great county Republican Party only strengthen my resolve to push forward with ethical leadership. I’m waiting for the Sunday editorial apology.
When you review the list of approved candidates for our 2007 convention, what you will find is a group of ethical, competent, compassionate, and qualified political leaders. This is what our public expects. This is what we Republicans will deliver as a result of this new candidate selection process. Thanks for sticking with us through all of the negative and slanted reporting. Today, we’re one step closer to a Republican sweep in the 2007 elections.
