Would You Vote To Recall Corzine? (work, retire, cost)

[kimchee]

A website has been set up to recall Corzine. Would you vote to recall him? Why or why not?

recallcorzinenow.com

[wileynj]

no freakin' way!

[MPBsr]

In a heartbeat.

[syncmaster]

No. Why should I? The URL recallcorzinenow doesn't really say why he should be.

Do I agree with each and every thing he has said and/or done? No. Has he done/said anything that rises to the level of gross misconduct or abuse of powers that justifies a recall? No.

If I'm wrong, and there's something he did do or say that justifies it, please tell me.

I'm no fan of Corzine, but what is he supposed to do? There just isnt enough cash.. I'm happy to see something get cut.

An impeachment is a very different thing from a recall...
One can be recalled if the vast majority of folks don't like the way he parts his hair and are willing to say so in the ballot box. The two actions should not be confused. Folks can simply "change their minds" and ask for a recall...it has Nothing to do with gross misconduct or abuse of powers

[KennysMom]

I'm not a fan of Corzine either but agree, he has not done anything that would warrant a recall or an impeachment.

[CuCullin]

A recall would just cost taxpayers more money. He may be an idiot, but I don't think there are much better idiots willing to run at the moment - it wouldn't be cost effective imho.

The problem is he's in the back pocket of the state workers unions. It's these same unions which have driven the state into bankruptcy. He hasn't proposed any serious cuts. He's just the typical phony politician. Unfortunately nothing will ever change in this state and thousands more will continue to flee the state every year. Eventually the only ones left in this state will be state workers and welfare recipients. The private sector employees will all be gone. And retirees certainly can't afford to live here anymore.

Very true. We say the same thing at work except we say "the only ones left in this state will be state workers, prisoners and welfare recipients".
