BINGO!
lol~ I know I am not alone, being red in a very blue state!
Please, don't stay home. Even if you don't vote for the GOP, vote. It'll send a message even if you protest vote.
Even if that's the case, I'd take nothing over Menendez anyday. Even if it was ABSOLUTELY nothing.
If Corzine were politically astute and fair - which he needn't be considering the political composition of the Garden State and the Party to which he belongs - he would solve the state's fiscal problems and be a dangerous contender for the White House.
He would cut needless state programs. He would get a Constitutional Amendment passed to allow the capons in the New Jersey State Legislature to override the renagade New Jersey State Supreme Court's degrees mandating an endless stream of social programs. He would enact an income tax surtax dedicated solely to bridging the budget gap and mandated to expire as soon as that is achieved. And he could do it with Republican support and by bullying the few Democrats in Trenton who have functioning brains and consciences.
But he won't. He's a typical liberal. At the same time he is whining about the need to raise taxes to bridge the budget gap, his party, with the connivance of a few unscrupulous Jersey Republicans, are introducing yet more legislative bills which will require more money to operate more socialist programs. And down the road, they will need MORE tax increases to continually pay them.
And THAT is why New Jersey and Jon Corzine are national jokes - or should be.
But what can you expect from a state which has become an asylum for refugees from the Five Bolshevik Boroughs of the Rotten Apple?
