Tea Party Democrat to Challenge Frank Pallone (D-NJ6) in Democratic Primary


“The Tea Party movement is not just about Republicans anymore

With those words, Mark Falzon filed his Petition of Nomination today to challenge Frank Pallone in the 6th district Democratic primary on June 8th. Running under the campaign slogan, “Democrat: Tea Party Approved“, Falzon may very well be the first person in the Country to challenge an incumbent Democrat in a Democratic primary under the tea party banner. Pallone, a staunch liberal who takes credit for writing parts of the original House version of ObamaCare, is an 11-term incumbent who hasn’t had a primary challenger since 1994.

Mark Falzon and his tea party support structure think that’s plenty long enough.

In a move that should help to shatter the nonsensical mainstream media myth that the tea parties are a “fringe”, demographically-uniform group of some kind, Falzon hopes his filing will inspire other Democrats around the country to challenge the left-wing radical extremists who have hijacked the Democratic Party in their own districts.

In Falzon’s words, “we are a true grassroots movement impacting both parties, tens of millions of us rising to save this beloved nation.”

We’ll be keeping the closest eye imaginable on Mark’s campaign to unseat the 20-year incumbent. Stay tuned and get ready to rumble.

...Will Mark Falzon caucus with the Democrats if he wins?

Moe Lane (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 7:50PM EST (link)

Because if he will, I’d rather we supported Republican Diane Gooch, thanks.

 

Uh, pal...

thatsright (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 7:57PM EST (link)

First of all, don’t pretend like you have an idea who either Falzon or Gooch are. I do. The answer is a resounding “no”. And if you did know what you were talking about, you’d know that there are at least 2 FAR better conservative candidates running on the Republican side that can EASILY hand Gooch the blueblood the defeat she deserves.

Next time feel free to ask me about what’s going on in Monmouth County instead of sounding like a fool.

Thanks.

And now let’s talk about why you’re going to be more polite on this site in the future when somebody points out that any Republican beats any Democrat on at least one important point: caucusing.

Indicate that you understand this in your next post. I’ll be kind and not require an actual apology to me for rudeness; you’d probably just be lying about it anyway.

PS: For somebody so proud of the two GOP challengers to Pallone who you consider to be better conservatives than Gooch, you’d think that you’d give us their names. Or even, I don’t know, diary entries or something.

Ah, that would be because...

Hrm. I went to school with a Brian Little: I wonder if there’s any relation. Actually, at this stage of our lives she could be his wife.

tad defensive are we?

I didn’t start with the condescension Moe, you did. And lie about what? Did I erase a comment? What are you talking about dude? If you’re from Jersey you’ve lost your edge.

Anyway, that being the case, polite it is from now on.

Where in Monmouth County?

Anna Little and Fabrizio Bivona (assuming his signatures are counted) are running in the primary against gooch.

http://www.annalittleforcongress.com/

Actually, it looks like Bivona didn’t make the cut, but I’m not taking this as gold until I hear from him: directly because he said he had the signatures on Sunday: http://www.gopusanj.com/wordpress/?p=12369

Diane Gooch is a zero in every way except she’s got a boatload of cash. That’s literally her only plus. She is the only candidate that could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory against Pallone. She would get trounced by Frank Pallone in a debate, and that’s saying something because Pallone is an idiot.

thatsright (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 8:51PM EST (link)

Moe comes in, talks about the dinosaur republican handpicked NJ6 nominee like he knows what’s going on here in Monmouth County and I’m the one who sounds like a fool? I tell the world that the Tea Party has just made an amazing stride by getting a TP Dem on the ballot (hopefully) after collecting signatures in three days, Moe asks me if he’ll caucus with the Democrats and I’m the one who sounds like a fool?

BTW, my answer to that, again, is a resounding “NO”.

I’ve heard Gooch speak 4 times now and she’s horrendous. She’s a millionaire and THAT’S why the RINO’s like her. That’s the only reason she was picked. Period.

OTOH, there are two terrific Conservatives in the primary that can easily beat Gooch because she’s such an empty suit, but Moe doesn’t seem to know that either. And I’m the one who sounds like a fool?

You know what, I take it back Moe, apologies. Martin is the one who sounds like a fool.

michael_j_lambert (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 9:13PM EST (link)

I see Moe’s comment more as saying that a bad republican who will caucus with the republicans is better than even the best democrat if that democrat is unwilling to break caucus with the dems rather than break their principles.

Also, the “reply to this” button is your friend.

Trust me on this one

thatsright (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 9:19PM EST (link)

There isn’t a chance in hell this guy would caucus with the Dems.

And to the extent I misread Moe, fair enough, although why reflexively back the annointed R instead of fighting for the conservative in the primary. Isn’t that what we’re doing here? What the hell was all this for if we’re just going to roll over and take who the GOP establishment gives us?

Yeh I know about the Reply button. Won’t happen again.

shadowtax (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 10:38PM EST (link)

How can somebody seek the Democrat nomination and refuse to caucus with the Democrats. Why would any Democrat vote for him in the primary? Why would the Democrat party support him in the general election? There has gotta be some kind of party rule that would prevent that sort of thing.

Not that I'm aware of

thatsright (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 10:49PM EST (link)

All I can tell you is that the anger at Pallone from the street all the way up to the party chairmen is palpable and waiting to be exploited.

Voters will vote for him because he’s not Frank Pallone and because Mark is a gregarious, regular Joe kind of candidate. If he wins the primary, he gets the top line on the general ballot as I understand it.

Now, there would be nothing stopping the Dem machine from running their candidate in the General on a petition nomination.

But I know of no party rule that could override the statute that provides for how primary elections are run and how the winners are delegated on the general ballot.

If you think of something, by all means let me know.

Committee Assignments

cwilson (Diary) Tuesday, April 13th at 10:31AM EST (link)

If you don’t caucus with a party, you don’t get committee assignments. Committees are where the real power in congress lies; floor votes are just the most visible part of the iceberg. This is why Sanders (Independent Socialist–Vermont) caucuses with the Dems.

You think Falzon (D) will “caucus” with the republicans? I don’t think he CAN, and still run as a D. So, he will either caucuses with the Dems, or with no-one (and hence, will have zero effectiveness on Cap Hill). The latter choice is…unlikely, to say the least.

whereas another Dem., just confirms the Dems. in power, no matter where the pol. caucuses or how he/she votes on individual issues. We can’t get rid of Pelosi by electing Dems.

Look, yesterday, instead of stopping another boondoggle leg. to extend unemployment benefits (a real tearjerker and my own son has been out of work for six months) that will cost more billions that we do not have, FOUR Reps. Sens. voted with the Dems. for a lopsided victory for the malefactors in the White House.

On a totally unrelated note...

michael_j_lambert (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 9:14PM EST (link)

As to the main point of your article, I totally disagree that the tea parties are demographically diverse. Everybody who attends them fits into a single demographic: American.

Yeh ok...

thatsright (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 9:22PM EST (link)

But I hope you understand the point. While we may never get to a place where the MSM accepts the tea party for what it really is, everytime something like this happens it’s just one more fact they will have to deal with down the road.

I would have thought this was a great story. A true tea partier who just happens to have been a registered D for a long time, collects enough signatures from pissed off democratic voters to primary an 11-term liberal Democrat? Dude, that’s insane.

Could you imagine a general election with not one but TWO tea party backed candidates?

Come on.

Russ Cote
www.thats-right.com/rapid-fire-rightness/

 
 

I would have liked the story better if had been this:

ColdWarrior (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 9:59PM EST (link)

A true tea partier who just happens to have been a registered D for a long time decides to investigate what the Democrat Party Platform and the Republican Party Platform actually say, does a Google search to find them, finds a relatively short comparison of the two documents at www.theprecinctproject.wordpress.com, thereafter decides he’s actually a conservative Republican and not a liberal Democrat, re-registers as a Republican, gathers the necessary signatures and runs for Congress, with much fanfare, as a long-time-Democrat-tea-partier-turned-into-a-new-conservative-Republican.

I understand your excitement over the story line, but my first question to the fellow would be, in all honesty, “Have you ever compared the Democrat and Republican Party platforms and, if so, how to you square your “tea party” views with the Democrat Party Platform and, if you haven’t compared the two platforms, why haven’t you?”

If the guy would actually caucus with the Republicans if he were to win, then wouldn’t it make more sense for the guy to be helping the Republican Party rather than the Democrat Party?

And, as to your last though, “Could you imagine a general election with not one but TWO tea party backed candidates?”, I’d rather see general elections across the board with tea party backed Republican candidates where ALL the tea partiers, including the disgruntled Democrats and Independents, have registered as Republicans and have taken the next step to become precinct committeemen.

Thank you.

thatsright (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 10:13PM EST (link)

But look at the facts on the ground. We have two wonderful conservative tea-party backed R’s in the primary with the RINO picked Gooch. No need for another one.

So, instead we’ll stay D, give Frank a run he’ll never forget, maybe bloody his lip going through the primary and then if he wins he’s weakened for the general and if he loses, then you have a Tea Party Democrat who is functionally a Tea Party Republican against another Tea Party Republican in the general.

It’s a win-win-win-win situation. There is no downside that I can see.

I just wouldn’t want to discount the impact that true conservative tea party democrats running against the liberal D’s in the primary could have. It’s another front of the war that we should be aware of and in my opinion, actively promote in the right situations.

This is one of those situations.

Pallone

proudgop (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 10:53PM EST (link)

His district is pretty Democrat on federal level ( Christie won it) I wouldn’t slam Gooch she has already promised to put up a few millions bucks.

Maybe

thatsright (Diary) Monday, April 12th at 11:02PM EST (link)

But again it’s a complacency thing. He’s been there since the late 80′s and hasn’t had a challenger in 15 years. It’s not so much that the people in the district are serious dems, it’s just that that’s how they’ve been voting.

This time is different. There is real anger at Pallone on the street and in the halls of power. You throw up a fun, charismatic big guy from Queens who’s a tea partier and the race just got real interesting.

Again, winning would be awesome. But almost as good would be giving him fits and a fat lip, make him spend all kinds of money, say some stupid things, etc. going into the general,

I’ll slam Gooch. I know her. I know why she’s in it. She’s a nice enough person, but the only reason the RINO’s picked her is because she is a millionaire.

That’s not good enough anymore. She has little to no grasp on even the simplest issues, goes nowhere without a handler, loses every informal “straw” poll taken here in the County and generally is not the kind of candidate we’d want to take on Pallone. She would be the least likely to win the seat back out of the three R’s. It would be another “snatch defeat from the jaws of victory” moment for the Republicans.

We can’t have that. I’ll be profiling and sitting down with the tea party supported Anna Little shortly. She’s terrific. Experienced (freeholder, mayor), confident, articulate, philosophically grounded conservative.

She can win. No question.

Thus, there may be a Dem or two out there running as legit tea party candidates, but they aren’t getting my vote.

there is NO SUCH THING as a conservative Democrat. They all lie.

We can go all marxist faux-revolutionary and talk about how they rank-and-file “Conservative Democrats” are captive of a false consciousness, and need to be awakened to their true self-interest aligned with the proletariat….but that’s just a fancy way of saying IF they are truly conservative, THEN they really aren’t Democrats at all, and we need to convince them to come back home.

To the (revitalized, renewed, restored conservative) Republican party.

But aside from the rank and file, at the political office-holder level? Ain’t nobody that stupid or blind; they KNOW running as a Dem means supporting Nancy/Barack/Harry’s socialist regime whole heartedly. That’s not something any kind of “conservative” would do–hence, they all lie.

cwilson (Diary) Tuesday, April 13th at 1:42PM EST (link)

and I don’t for a minute believe that you are, then WHAT THE **** is the man doing in THAT party?

Has he just been sleeping for the past year or three? Did he SEE what happens to “blue dog” democrats in this congress, with these leaders? Did you?

I don’t know what scares me more, that HE is naive enough to think his experience would be different, or that YOU are naive enough to think that HE would be any different than his compatriots. (And even if he managed to get permission from his political master Pelosi to “vote” the way you like on some bills — because Herself has enough other votes to cover him — he’s still a vote for HER. And HER policies. And HER committee chairmen. And THEIR agenda — whether he, personally, votes against them or not!)

There is NO SUCH THING as a conservative democrat. Learn it. If they claim to be so, then they LIE. But then, they’re democrats; this is not a surprise.

If the Health Care “process” didn’t prove that to you, then you need to check yourself in to a nice padded room where the friendly people in white suits will take care of you, and give you the GOOD drugs three times a day.

I’m not saying vote for the RINO in the primary. I’m saying vote conservative in the primary. But in the general — even the Maine Twins are better than ANY democrat (but…save your powder for the NEXT primary…)

There is only ONE exception to this rule: John Sydney McCain does more damage to the Republican party than 10 democrats; that man just needs to go. (I realize I might just be a tad biased when it comes to that…person…but no politician infuriates me more, not even His Highness the Unicorn Tamer).

Unbelievable. How quickly we forget. And here, there is already one, maybe two great conservatives who can beat Gooch with a little hard work so why would we want to split up that vote even further? That makes no sense at all.

His party affiliation means literally nothing. Nothing. I would stake my life on that. He is not a “blue dog”, he’s a conservative tea partier who happens to be a registered democrat. That’s it. What’d the poll say the other day…that an estimated 40% of the TP are registered Dems?
