I was always under the impression that a large percent of New Jersey folks are salt of the earth, patriotic and as good as the come. Am I wrong?

Sorry, yes, but you’re pretty wrong, lol.

A large percent, yes ... but not large enough.

"...I was always under the impression that a large percent of New Jersey folks are salt of the earth, patriotic and as good as the come. Am I wrong?..."

You are not wrong.

Everything you said is true; with the exception of a few notable areas such as Newark, Camden, and a few other notable cesspools.

The other real problem here in NJ are the Trenton politics, mostly controlled by liberal constituencies such as unions and the like.

So much of the state is in fact very conservative-

Jersey is pretty patriotic. We are outnumbered by hellhole cities like Newark,Paterson (ISIS isnout in open there), Trenton, and some hippie places like Princeton. However, we have lots of rural areas and burbs that are right of center. We are passwd the tipping point however, and Christie will be the last state wide GOP office holder

The vast majority of NJ Liberals live in the Northeast part of the state where Newark, Elizabeth, Camden are located. the rest of the state is far more Conservative and btw very beautiful.

NJ is called the garden State for a reason.
