"REPUBLICANS" AREN'T BEING IDENTIFIED WHEN IT COMES TO CONVICTIONS
MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP (MONMOUTH COUNTY, NJ): According to Middletown Democratic Chairman Joe Caliendo, many Republicans charged and in some cases convicted as part of Operation Bid Rig were identified by their name and former office held. However, when it comes to identifying their party, newspapers and other media are reluctant to put the word "Republican" before defendants.
Meanwhile, when it comes to members of the Democratic Party charged, "before either their name or their title, the media isn't shy about putting 'Demcorat,' " Caliendo said. "This is another way the media manipulates people and it is wrong, in my opinion."
Caliendo said the Republican Party has been in charge of Monmouth County for the past 25 years. "There are Democrats that have been identified as having done corrupt things in this county and they should face the full weight of law without any doubt, but when it comes right down to it the Monmouth County Republican Party has been in the driver's seat here since Reagan was in office. Despite any 'reform' these Republicans are doing the same gang of shady characters are still in charge in Monmouth since Reagan too."
Caliendo said that even if the news media hasn't made it clear that the top leadership of the Monmouth Republican Party has been the single largest proponent of corruption in the county, the voters were still aware of it, with the results of the most recent election in mind. "People are tired of a small group of Republicans, who are really only out to pad their pensions and get whatever they can from the taxpayers, legally and illegally, getting away with whatever they want to in this county and the voters are finally doing something about it," Caliendo said.
The veteran Democratic municipal chairman said that whether or not the media wants to note what party these corrupt office holders are from the result will be the same. "Voters in Monmouth County know what party was in charge of making its top leaders and professionals rich by any means necessary to make a dollar off the backs of the taxpayers," Caliendo concluded. "It would be nice if the media was fair, though, even every now and again."
