For now... but if Corzine doesn't get his sh1t together, we will be a republican ruled State and that will mean less freedom for some of the residents in this State.

If you want to preach politics then go to the political forum because it does nothing, but cause arguments

The statement in bold would be the best thing that happened to Jersey. Republicans lower taxes, democrats raise them

Exactly, the cost of living is insane in The People's Republic of New Jersey not to mention it's one of most corrupt states in the union. This is also the only state where legislators debate the health risks of being served runny eggs or getting a Brazilian wax.

I don't believe you're allowed to read that article in NJ- please surrender your internet connection immediately.

If you actually read the article, it states that the free-est states were red states (NH, WY, TX), and the least free states were blue (RI, NJ, NY).

I believe that it doesn't matter red or blue, whenever you have many people living in a compact area, you have to have laws to control the people. NYC has laws that control every aspect of your life. I would imagine that Wyoming probably does not need as many laws because everyone has space.

NH has 1 D senator and 1 R senator. 2 D reps and 0 R reps. A D governor and voted for Obama in the last election. Strange definition of red...

Of course before Clinton they were republican through and through, but that's a fair while back now...
