Excellent post EEE! Politicians should be fiscally conservative, now more than ever, and Corzine is the polar opposite of this ideology.

Looking at these massive corporations take TARP money and then watching the CEO's, CFO's, COO's, etc... take their mind boggling bonuses while the 60K/year employees get pink slips is disgusting.

I just love how a good number of NJ residents pitch a b**ch about their tax bill but then don't go vote, or just vote for the same gang of thieves down in Trenton.

70% of those absurs school budgets PASSED on Tuesday. Um, hello, where is this money coming from to cover these increases? Us, of course.

As a libertarian, I take offense to the notion that Bloomsy would be considered a libertarian! He's about as opposite a libertarian as one could get.

I'm supporting Lonegan because he seems like a true conservative. And no, I don't care for the Bush neoconnery we had for the last 8 years. They were just another form of liberal (big spending, bombing nations, sounds liberal to me!).

I hear ads on the radio for republican candidates. They're talking about the same old predictable wedge issues like abortion, guns, gay marriage, etc. These silly one trick pony campaign ads do nothing more than manufacture phony outrage and imaginary bogeymen. You know the drill. These BS culture war issues don't mean squat when the cost of living in this state is outrageous, and your taxes keep going up annually due to infinite waste and corruption. Yes, Jon Corzine is absolutely pathetic, but what do his opponents want to do differently? Spare me the BS about gay marriage and all of these other nonissues, which are so much to rage about nothing. Do they have any real ideas to address real problems that impact real people like myself and many others who are just exhausted from the endless culture war nonsense while being squeezed financially to no end in this state?

Somalia must be a Libertarian Utopia. They have a real small and real limited government.
