    The only thing that could get me to vote faster for this guy would be if he promised to put Christie into a dunk tank like a carnival game. Even if he charged $10 per throw I would be there all day.

      HA! Missourians would murder this guy. We’re the state that bred Todd Akin. Our state legislature is actively working to protect businesses who discriminate. Our governor got hired because he likes guns.

    I heard about him last week and instantly wanted to vote for him. Then I realized I’d have to move to...New Jersey to get this in my life. I went to his site and donated instead. Good luck, Mr. Brennan!

      Between Brennan and Ras Baraka, Jersey is looking kind of alright in my book!

    Our nation was built upon two things: the genocide of Native Americans and the enslavement of African Americans.

      He forgot Asian Americans, but nobody can be perfect. He’s getting my vote.

      It’s throwing me that that sentence came from the mouth of a guy who looks like Alex Jones.

    His truthiness sounds too truthy/facty for him to actually get elected.

    I’m so tired of the types of people who normally get elected (“businesspeople”, lawyers), the fools that constantly vote against their own self-interests (poor whites), and monied individuals who prop up the system for the sake of accumulating more.

      Unfortunately, it does.

      And your statement is right on. This system is working exactly as intended and needs to be broken.

    Democratic gubernatorial primary for New Jersey is June 6th! We need Brennan! We need Democrats who stop taking black voters for granted. If you live in New Jersey or know anyone who lives in New Jersey, tell them to vote for Brennan on June 6th.

    New Jersey is 72% white non-Hispanic. The attack adds on him saying he will pardon “convicted felons” - which they will imply but not come right out and say are mostly black - and put them back in their neighborhoods stalking their children will have will have the white people of New Jersey making brown in their pants.

    Shame that we get so excited when a white person speaks the truth. Gods know I appreciate it, but still...

      I don’t get excited at all. No cookies over here. I think my friend’s reaction can be more accurately described as excited disbelief.

    Those strikethroughs are GOLD. Is there an internal competition at The Root to see who can throw the most heat? I’m loving it.

    Too bad we can’t get politicians like that everywhere. This whole “dancing around the issue” is crap. “Weelll, we can’t let nonviolent people out because....welll....we can’t legalize pot because...” Status quo, and none of them want to rock the boat.
