Hey you Jersey people, Murray Sabrin is running for Senate against Frank Lautenberg. Sabrin is a professor of economics at Ramapo College and I recommend that you check him out.
His platform underscores fighting illegal immigration and fiscal responsibility.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha HA! You’re kidding right? I love you Dave, You’re such a prankster!
I enjoyed how he ended each paragraph with “The Sabrin Solution is to promote freedom.”
I felt a tear forming in my eye.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha HA! Davey The Rock!

Nope, serious as VD here, John, as evidenced by the five page response. Sabrin is a Constitutional Moderate running on the Republican ticket. He’s not one of the Neocon Republicans though.
Granted, his website sucks, and fails to make a good first impression, but I thought this editorial of his was pretty much on the money: http://www.murraysabrin.com/federalreserve.asp (Pun unintentional, but delightful nonetheless.)
ABC will televise a debate between him and his two opponents on June 1. Maybe you can catch it.
Here’s Murray Sabrin talking about:
the 1st amendment

the 4th amendment

In my view, the Bush Administration’s attempts to grant retroactive immunity to these corporations that were their collaborators in the PRE-9-11 (and ongoing) illegal wiretapping schemes received a lot of support in the senate. Unless you feel that immunity should be granted, I would think that helping someone like Sabrin to take a Senate seat is a good move in light of his Constitutionalist views. I think that he’d be a good defender of Net Neutrality, too, another issue that’s important to me.
Here are some of his economic views:

I find it fairly obvious that the record inflation that we’ve experienced is a direct result of manipulation by the Federal Reserve. If the dollar had retained its value against the Euro, a barrel of oil would cost $80 today. Think about that. Dow Chemical will be raising their prices on every product they manufacture by as much as 20% this weekend. They announced this two days ago. With Sabrin having a background in economics, and in light of the views he expresses in his editorial linked above, I think he’d be good to have in the Senate. He seems to have the courage to question the “unquestionable” establishments like the Federal Reserve.
Anyway, if these issues are of interest and importance to you guys up in Jersey, I am writing to bring the man to your attention.
John, I take your braying in the good spirit it was intended, but you’re going to have to work harder - either in substantiating and elucidating what you find disagreeable about the man, or in coming to a deeper understanding of the influences that are pushing our nation toward an inevitable crisis. Your comments suggest that you just don’t get it, or that you prefer to hide your head in the sand. [John = Ostrich Man :P]
When I consider that, at this point, it will take thirty consecutive years of double-digit growth in our economy to support the current load of contracted debt - Social Security and such - in order for it to be solvent when we are eligible for it, that gives me concern. Are you vested well enough in a 401k that you won’t have any dependency on Social Security in 2037? Health care?
In addition to the moral burden that comes with funding (through our taxes) an illegal war and maintaining a military presence across the globe, we simply can’t, as a country, continue to afford it. We incur 1.2 billion dollars of debt per day in interest against foreign loans that allow us to do this military posturing. How much room is left in your own personal budget for contraction? Can you pay twice as much for gas? Food?

Ok.
Sure.
I’ll vote for this guy even though he gave me a “C” in macro.
But I thought the expression was “as serious as a heart attack.”

Is that as far as you got into my response? No wonder you got a C in Macro.
Seriously? Did you?
What’s the fellow like? Or are you just yanking my lamp cord?
May 30th, 2008 at 1:40 pm
Lamp cord.
But I did go to his web page.
P.S. I got an “A” in Economics but not from Sabrin (I didn’t attend the school where he teaches).
May 30th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
“(I didn’t attend the school where he teaches)”. That’s weak grammar.
Perhaps: “He doesn’t (didn’t) teach at the school I attended.”

Sabrin is a professor of economics at Ramapo College.
I’ve attended every college in NJ except for Ramapo College.

…and Princeton.
May 30th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Well, Princeton’s a university.

Oh is it?
