Ever thought what type of message Carim will get along with ALL the other elected officials when we put one of our own in a governmental seat? how about even if he doesn’t get elected.
What type of message will they get when they know that our community is divided and still we gave a few thousand votes to Raitport?
Its simple, We will get much more.
If you think that the polititions will have “animosity” towards us… thats just plain stupid as they know next time we will vote them out.
look at the other communities you think for a second the elected officials are able to play games, not the jews nor the non jews can mess up bc if they do someone else will step fwd and run in their place.
look at our local PAC! (hecht, sperlin, vaad)
what will they do this term over the past.
They already are putting pressure on all the local officials to do more, otherwise they will loose them…
if you think about it… what role will they need to play in our community if all the elected officials become one of our own, independent from them and help our community direct?
hmm nothing at all.
This is the very reason why they dont endorse a new candidate even though its one of our own. (tough choice)
I have no problem with having things stay the way they are, but its time we give the ones responsible for getting things done… a Kick in the pants.
Mark my words… your vote for raitport will mean.. no pics of these polotitions in CH just visiting, you will see pics of them delivering big checks (that are not pledges)
VOTE FOR RAITPORT

Pretty pathetic. Is all you can say “I can do the same as him”? We want to know what you will do different, not the same. Prove that you deserve our vote, or at least why the other guy doesn’t. All you said was, basically, “Vote for me because I’m Jewish and and can probably have the same connections as him (and I actually already have them, but I don’t want to tell anyone about it…)” Seriously man, I was looking forward to voting for you. Now, I don’t know.

David Samson, what did you write? You need to take some English classes because your post makes no sense.

Are you registered voter? Were you really going to vote for him? Or are you just a hack thinking you’re going to disenfranchise voters?
If you really intended on voting for him Raitport please tell us what part of the interview turned you off.
Was it the part he spoke about making sure the financial assistance the state provides reaches the residents? Or maybe, the part he spoke about opening job training programs?
For some reason I think my original question of are you just a hack, has been answered.
Now I don’t recall the quote you attribute to him being said in the interview. Maybe you tell us your angle because you seem to be the same commenter as the one on the Ob-Ed.
I will be voting republican for the exact facts Raitport mentions in the interview. How many people do you know unemployed without food I know a few, tell if you will what has Camara done for them or any politician?
So cut the hate, and listen to what’s said.
Women Vote
Women & girls, now is OUR chance to make a change and have OUR voices heard, in OUR community. Let’s all vote for Mendy Raitport. This is OUR opportunity.
Now if I can vote more than once...
I’m with you Mendy!!

RE: “I can do the same as him.”
Mendy was referring to the GOOD that Camara is able to do for our kehilla, when he said that he (Mendy) can have the same connections as Camara.
In other words, Mendy can do all the good that Camara does for us, PLUS he can and WANTS TO (unlike Camara) do MORE and DIFFERENTLY in the areas where Camara is weak!
For example, IN ADDITION, Mendy wants to shake things up so that the State is not wasting money on fraud, and the state can change the way it administers programs so that the money actually goes to help the people in need (instead of mostly going to pay more bureaucrats, or being siphoned off by phoneys, etc.).
Forgive me for saying this, but your remarks are those of a DINGBAT!!!!

If you want to be penalized, if you want the police citing you for eating too much trans fat, even though you may not even know what it is, vote Democrat. If you want higher health care costs, vote Democrat. If you want to believe that we are not a great country, if you want to believe that we are a fallen country, that we deserve to be a fallen country, if you want to believe that we are a nation in decline, if you believe that this nation must pay for its transgressions since its founding you make sure you go out today and you vote Democrat. If you believe this country is immoral and unjust and unfair, if you believe this country is racist to its core, sexist to its core, bigoted to its core, homophobic to its core, if you believe this country is the most despotic place on this earth, you vote Democrat because they agree with you. If you hate your country, if you blame your country, if you are angry at your country, you vote Democrat. You join them. If you believe America must pay the price for 230 years of indecency and evil, you vote Democrat, because that’s what they believe. That’s what President Obama believes. And that’s what his policies are aimed at achieving, making this country pay.
If you don’t believe this is an evil country, if you don’t believe that we must pay a price, if you don’t believe that we are racist, sexist, homophobic, if you don’t believe that we are unjust and immoral as a nation and as a people, don’t vote Democrat. Remember the Limbaugh rule. Any candidate with a D next to his name on a ballot, you vote against. The Limbaugh rule, when you see an R next to a candidate’s name, you vote that candidate. You do not seek compromise with those who believe this country is immoral and unjust. Where do you find compromise with people who believe what the Democrats of today believe? We don’t seek that compromise. We seek to defeat them, in the political sense. We seek to relegate them to the true minority status that they are for generations.
