		<description>This is ridiculous. Get him? 

Matt Cowherd and the other folks at New Kings Democrats began this failed campaign by slinging mud on their website at Assemblyman Lopez. They called him corrupt and ineffective, neither of which are true.

When they realized this was a failed strategy, they became more friendly, removed this content from their site, but were still clearly filled with the delusion that they were going to &quot;overturn the system.&quot; By running fifty candidates for County Committee? A friend of mine had a conversation last year with Rachel Lauter where she actually said &quot;we&#039;re going to take down Vito Lopez.&quot; What a joke. 

Assemblyman Lopez has worked hard for the last thirty years in North Brooklyn to improve people’s lives. He is tireless in his efforts, even when it means working during illness. He was working in Bushwick long before corporate attorneys like Cowherd decided to live in illegal loft apartments in Bushwick. People may not like his style or some of his decisions, but overall he is a titan in the fight to help the poor and senior citizens. 

Matt Cowherd is a corporate lawyer who works for Skadden, and moved to the Bushwick only two years ago. Rachel Lauter graduated  from Brown University in 2006. What makes them think they are entitled to bash people and win in elections against local candidates who have spent years helping people? 

All the time wasted on this foolish campaign should have been spent helping people in Bushwick. All their education and money should have been spent volunteering for local organizations, making real connections with the people they seek to represent. So that someday, if Cowherd and Lauter still live in Bushwick or Williamsburg and want to run for office, they can point to real accomplishments and to a real commitment to the community. 

Instead, they got what they wanted, elections, and they lost.</description>
