The Many Faces of Cory Booker

Cross-posted at Blue Jersey.

Cory Booker on vouchers:

As for vouchers, which give people tax money to spend in private schools, Booker said he “doesn’t care” if districts are upset.

“I don’t think vouchers are the solution, but how can I tell a parent that they have to stay in a failing system,” he said. “These kids are locked in a prison. Am I supposed to tell a parent, ‘You just wait until we get this figured out?’”

 Newark Mayor Cory Booker on vouchers:

But Green built the momentum up to the main event: the mayor from Newark, who was the only New Jersey Democrat allowed on a national stage at the Democratic Convention in Charlotte. 

“They’re trying to voucherize our healthcare and privatize our Social Security,” said a riled up Booker. “Their politics have become about politics, not about purpose and not about passion. …I’m proud to be a Democrat because it’s what we stand for.

So, Supermayor likes vouchers... but only some vouchers.

The future of the Democratic Party, ladies and gentlemen. Swell...

Intellectual consistency is my kryptonite!
