I wonder if you like it there any more than my old Army buddy does? He has lived all of his life in New Jersey except the three years in the Army. I think I would look for something else to do and somewhere else to live if it really is as bad as you guys say it is.
I love NJ! I couldn't imagine living anywhere else. The corruption is maddening, but I secretly find it entertaining. There was a website some local citizen set up and when you entered it a sign pop up that said: Hoboken, where one third of our last three mayors have not been indicted!

Now that brought on the loudest laugh from me all day. Being the mayor in Hoboken must take lots of criminal behavior.
Our former mayor is currently a guest of the state so he kinda had to resign. Only kidding, he is a guest of the state but resigned shortly after getting indicted.
I remember when the Hoboken and Secaucus mayors resigned one after another, I then said to myself and to some people "when is suarez going to do the same?"
Okay that just made me chuckle for a reason. I lived in Louisiana for a bit and well, we had our share there too!
The fact that Mayor Nagin got re-elected after he screwed things up so much during and following Katrina amazed me. I surely couldn't see how that happened. Well, I do think I understood.
This seems to be par for the course with the Demorat party. I am sure they will try to turn it around as a 'right wing conspiracy' since they were caught. When does it end??
wrong...that's something a regresive would do, if these people really did that than its because that is how they win...you can call yourself anything and still be cunning and self-serving. it might show that they are too self-serving to be a good employee of the people....though i don't see anything "wrong" with planting a candidate that wins or competes with the opposing party. that is what freedom is all about...if regresives would rather vote for an inplant than for a moderate that can actually win in the general election, that is their choice in our two-party system... since one-party systems are soooo hated by your average American(C students), i dont know why.
btw: there are no "right-wing conspiracies"...there is just right-wing stupidity working together...and right-wing leaders using the right-wing stupidity for their own selfish reasons.

Good thing I didn't hold my breath.
44 people were arrested the same day based on recordings made by one guy. Charges ranged from bribary to selling organs. Only in NJ....
So true, so many people have their hands in the cookie jar, they get very upset with anybody who cuts them off.
Exactly, labor unions like the NJ teachers union have their hands so deep in the cookie jar that they don't know how to do things without corruption, payoffs and endless lost money.
I expect a lot of the same type of people being ticked off all over the country when this new group of politicians hit offices all over the country and start to shake things up a bit. It won't be huge but at least it's a start.
The morals, ethics and values are so lacking by so many in this country IMHO that if a day before election day a candidate would be shown on TV people with a machine gun, he/she would still get voted in.
OVERALL, VERY SAD SOCIETY WE LIVE IN.
