In other words:

Teachers Unions and the nepotism from newly elected Democrat politicians will receive more to do less and the remaining health care companies in New York are going to leave.

Lies, lies and more lies.

NJ is different. Our state government is corrupt, growing and clueless. Corslime hasn't cut spending and has lined the pockets of the Teachers Unions and government unions over the past year, while raising taxes and whining about property tax reform. NJ has even lost population as the liberal state government has driven employers out of the state.

The first thing *our* new Marxist governor,a Clintonista named Deval Patrick,did in office was to encourage our state legislature to defy a decision that our Supreme Court issued only a few weeks ago.The second thing he did was to declare that the claim that Mitt Romney made that the state budget was balanced was a lie and that the state had a deficit of a billion dollars.

When you elect filthy Marxists like Spitzer or Patrick as your governor you must understand that there will be consequences.

I sure as heck didn't elect Spitzer. The depressing thing is that we are not even three months out of the election, and I can't remember the name of the guy that I voted for.

No, you must be wrong! Eliot Spitzer says NJ, having "cut spending and reordered priorities" is moving toward "stability and prosperity" -- who are ya gonna believe? Eliot Spitzer or your lyin' eyes??? LOL!

BTW, he doesn't give many (any?) specifics on his "new" health plan, but I gather a number of these highly touted new health care "solutions" in various states are on a collision course with ERISA.

Rest assured that when I said "you" I was using the plural not the singular.New York,Massachusetts and,I'll wager,other states are truly (bleeped) for having elected Marxist slime as governor.

Here in Massachusetts we can only hope that Teddy's liver gives out or that Kerry is killed in a windsurfing accident so that Patrick can take that seat...which,it's said,is Patrick's true ambition.

[NY.SS-Bar9]

We will drive more resources to needy schools

From each according to his ability...

[PzLdr]

To each [union/special interest group] according to his ability to deliver votes/election money.

Comrade spitzer is a TYPICAL gun-grabbing northeastern inner-city liberal cut from the same cloth as bloomberg, schumer, and giuliani...

so he really can't be trusted on any other important issues.

[elcid1970]

Congrats, Empire State. You now have Frank (Enforcer) Nitti for Governor.

Didn't his conduct as Atty Gen set off any alarms at all?

[RobRoy]

>>...we can fund health insurance coverage...<<

Maybe if they didn't fund it at all and, say, left it up to the individual to purchase what they could afford, they would save a bundle of wasted money on "common cold" visits...

[MonicaG]

Love your tagline. Had not read that quote before.

[zbigreddogz]

I don't like Spitzer, but I'm impressed that he's ruled out raising taxes. That's rare for a D.

[mewzilla]

All of that is about to change.

HA!

[mewzilla]

...but I'm impressed that he's ruled out raising taxes.

Unless he calls them something else and then raises them...

[Hacksaw]

Don't feel bad. We in PA are still waiting for Ed Rendell's promised property tax cut (Fast Eddie is now in his 2nd term). Unfortunately we also had some Freepers who felt that a relected Ed Rendell was preferable to Lynn Swann.

I don't like Spitzer, but I'm impressed that he's ruled out raising taxes. That's rare for a D.

And leftist RATS like Spitzer never,*ever* lie.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

If you think he's telling the truth, I've got a bridge to sell you.

"Comrade spitzer is a TYPICAL gun-grabbing northeastern inner-city liberal cut from the same cloth as bloomberg, schumer, and giuliani.."

But Giuliani has an "R" by his name, so we should all vote for him!
