Want real change? Wait until Jersey resident Lou Dobbs finally comes around and runs for governor as an independent. He is the only independent who could win, and an independent governor is exactly what Jersey needs.

You are pestering us yet again with your presence? Move already!

I already read that he doesn't care about people's personal freedoms. To me, that alone bothers me. I heard this guys against abortions and a whole lot of other things. That in itself is a red flag. If people are cool with somebody like that running where they live, then they really don't care. Reading some of the things that he's for is a complete turn off. SMH @ him putting the Environmental Agency on the chopping board when Jersey is one of the most polluted states in the nation.

And I think the guy is corrupted like the people he's making a career off of. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody comes along and pulls his card, forcing him to resign.

So you're one of those rubes who believes the governor of New Jersey controls whether or not abortion is legal? Dude, come on...

As far as our rights, maybe we'll GET some actual 2nd amendment rights in this state. Yea I know, I know... somehow you think gun rights are racist or something like that. Yawn.

That's not true! What we don't want to pay for is for the kids in 31 "chosen" school districts. We'll gladly pay for our own.

why rob peter to pay paul? if the property taxes are the problem then why not just lower them?

I didn't realize that the state had become overrun with YAHOOs.

Quite a shame.

You can, as long as you're distributing state funding equally. Right now only the urban machine-controlled areas get state funds, meaning local property taxes must totally fund municipal school districts. Distribute state funding like income and sales taxes equally and you will lower the property taxes.

It works in all of the other states.

Obama's popularity is still over 50%.

Also, many people in NJ, said that voting for Christie, had nothing to do with Obama. People, are just tired of the taxes, and economy. Corzine lost because of Corzine; not Obama.
