Newark ranks up with Detroit, Chicago as the most corrupt, crime ridden places in all the faire landes, right?
Didn’t the black democrat head of Detroit just get sentenced to 28 years?
You’d think New Jersey has enough people with common sense to put things like that together, and to not relegate the entire state to Newark/Detroit caliber management.
Well, if you think that, you will be blind sided.
Sat with a bunch of self proclaimed pubbies that also believed, in their hearts, that they were a "conservative" bunch.
Then, they opened their pie holes and a bunch of liberal fart gas fell out.
They were "stunned" when I told them to eff off, and left.
“You’d think New Jersey has enough people with common sense to put things like that together, and to not relegate the entire state to Newark/Detroit caliber management.”
The problem is that people don’t view senators as having a big role in the management of the state, but rather the management of the country. Christie has successfully combated the teachers’ unions, and that is rare; he is a shoe-in for re-election. Yet the same state that votes for him send schmucks like Menendez to the Senate because they don’t associate him with their personal fortunes/situations.
As far as comparisons to Detroit, I was never so proud to live in NJ as on the day we lost our NBA team to NY. We still host two professional football teams, a hockey team, and a soccer team.
