Thanks for this added detail.
More corruption. More corrupt Democrats revealed.
Political corruption is epidemic across the country.
Politicians are up for sale.
And many are being bought and paid for.
Thank you US Justice dept for catching a few of them.....Wonder if one of the US ATtorneys fired by Gonzalez may have been in this state - and wa that US Attorney stonewalling this investigation or others like it???
Oh, wait...I get it now. This is just another political trick by those corrupt and jealous Republicans.
Wow, CNN actually said democrats. Guess they figured they had to, since most are in NJ.
Yeah. And, Governor Corzine is in the news today for making a $14K cash payment to some relative of his ex-girlfriend, who was a NJ union boss.
What a joke.
A private citizen, Louis Mister, was snatched up in the sting as well, the release states
I wonder what Mr. Mister's role in all of this was.
Just another day in paradise........
Yes, don't question her logic. I didn't.
I simply responded by saying that her home state of New Jersey is run by the mob. She took extreme offense to that.
Now look what's happened.
Looks like we have the short list of candidates for Democratic nomination for Governor.

I believe the “mob” in one sense or another pretty much runs the entire country, maybe the world.....

The woman you spoke with was obviously a fool.
LOL!!
Cudos to CNN...every AP story out there neglects to describe the FACT that they are democrats. Anyone who subsribes to a newspaper that is a member of AP is a dupe.
