Today's Star Ledger features an inaccurate "puff piece" profile of Scott Garrett.

The writer, Bob Braun, goes as far as saying that Garrett, "has a reputation as pro-conservation," which is utterly dishonest. He receieved a 0% rating by the LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS! He also thinks global warming is a hoax.

Braun sums up Garrett's political philosophy in the sentence, "People should neither blame others for their problems, nor expect others to solve those problems." While that is a good philosophy in general, it is a horrible philosophy for someone whose job is enacting laws to HELP people with problems they can't solve on their own.

Another guiding political philosophy Garrett mentions in the article is that "good people" make a good society...

I think Scott Garrett just discovered the solution to world hunger, draught, and the Middle East conflict - Good People!
