Bergen County Republicans are enraged by a Democratic mailer that attacks the 38th District Republican Assembly candidates over "porn and guns."
The mailer hits recipients with an image of the word "porn" spelled out in computer keys above "guns" spelled out in bullets.
"If you make your money on porn or guns, then you have something in common with the Bergen Republican candidates," the front of the mailer reads. Turn it around, and the flyer says that Republican Assembly candidate Judith Fisher is a "consultant to one of the largest pornographic companies in the world" and that her running mate, Ridgefield Councilman Nick Lonzisero, rents property to a gun shop located next to an elementary school that is promoted by the National Rifle Association - "the same organization that's been lobbying to allow assault weapons in New Jersey."
"It is so despicable. It shows the two Democratic candidates are wallowing around in the sewers with pig manure," said Bergen County Republican Chairman Bob Yudin. "You can quote me on that."
The flyer's style is fairly typical of Bergen County's notoriously down and dirty political scene. What is unusual is that it was issued in a district that is considered a relatively safe bet for incumbents Joan Voss (D-Fort Lee) and Connie Wagner (D-Paramus) to win.
