8. the whole side issue.

financially, he refunded it.

therefore there is no problem, as it was refunded.

It is legal to fly but he didn't pre-announce it, and he has refunded

as to the other things which are NOT connected, that is the smear

and people are wanting him out
(I am living now in NJ, and a fan of Bob's, who wants him to lead the whole immigration issue, which he has major power on the committee to do.)

But there is the whole Pallone-Lautenberg vs. Booker that applies
(because in politics everything is connected and NJ(where I am living now)has a long history of stab in the back politics
(Ask Florio, ask McGreevey, ask Codey, and there has been others (Corzine, Torticelli) that had major problems recently
and those are just the democratic people
I could list 50 republicans (including the whole system that got Christie, a proud member of their fraternity, his job).

Nothing is by chance.

So I hope all demcoratic people support Bob and he doesn't get driven out

but, the issues are the person involved who owes much back tax, and then Menendez, which is secondary,
and he is not really being looked into by the feds.

(I don't see anything in this to drive bob out, but that doesn't mean all the forces will do just that.
Now before 60 days til Nov. would mean an interim til then

and most likely a democratic candidate would win the seat, but it's the interim time
(and if Cory gets the other seat, this would give Pallone the 2nd one, soemthing not expected prior to this brouhaha)

as I said the other day, this smear is most likely (no proof) being done by both sides graham4anything Feb 2013 #1
