Karl Rove was never responsible for raising my taxes or ruining my state - Corzine's pals were all in on it, however.

The bottom line is that we need to rid ourselves of Corzine and his corrupt, Democrat machine powered by union lackeys and other seedy folks like them that have no goal but extracting as much tax money out of the pockets of New Jerseyans as humanly possible. And sorry, but Chris Dagget (whose plan is to raise one tax to pay to lower another) doesn't have a chance, nor a clue.
Dude................. Neo Cons are disliked by old school fiscal Repubs as well as Dems.
I suggest you really study up on the policies & objectives of Neo Cons.
It will be an eye opener for you.
I think you are getting your conservative ideologies all mixed up.

If you don't like neo-cons, fine. But clearly, Corzine is not worthy of a vote. Go third party.

I think will Daggett will spin off votes from Christie, Corzine will win the election aided by the spin-off and under Corzine's watch NJ will continue on it's current path towards fiscal responsibility, robust private sector job growth and an ever growing middle class.

Daggett shocked me as being totally out of touch as he mentioned the possibility of raising tolls like it was just another consideration. Any two bit fool would be smarter than that. If roads needed to be repaired an across the board gas tax is always easier and fairer and does not contribute to the useless patronage mill of toll roads. this is not Delaware where the locals can bypass one toll in the state that the out of staters on I-95 pay $4 for.

Christie turned the medical marijuana question into a law enforcement statement. Another stupid move. I can't vote for Corzine but the other guy better get with the program here or else we might just get what we can't stand already.

I got a mailer from Corzine yesterday and it was an attack ad against Christie and the big focus of it was that "Christie thinks early preschool education is just babysitting!"

And I was like, Yeah, it is! Thanks for letting me know that about Christie!

And then he goes into this spiel about how he put more money into early childhood education, and I'm like, where? Not in this town.

He might want to think about differentiating his flyers.

As a democrat, I must admit something needs to change, but Christie is not it.
An old school fiscal conservative is what NJ needs right now (shhh, don't tell anyone I said that).
However, I will never, ever vote for a Neo-Con.
I don't follow what the policy implications of him being an alleged "Neo-Con" are. Are you concerned that NJ might invade NY, PA or some other neighboring state ? It seems like a long shot. The policy platform he's running on does look like an "old school fiscal conservative" one to me.

Then again, I suppose I wouldn't put this completely past Wolfowitz or Cheney if they were running ...

Default NJ electorates' chronic pathology Dx'd by JC's re-election

How sad!

NJ is afflicted with chronic wasting disease as confirmed by JC's re-election.

Like the abused that tragically continue to seek out new abusers, NJ voters find comfort in the predictability of disfunctional situations.

As has been demonstrated in previous posts, the election of NJ's governor will hinge on national issues and associations as well as local issues. An association with Karl Rove is as defeating as is an association with Obama.

JC and his cronies are best summed up by their official announcement that they put an end to political corruption in the form of dual office holders. That announcement conveys with absolute clarity that the corruption that the bill prevents is despicable and will not be tolerated. What is intentionally not stated, is that it grandfathers in many current office holders and applies only to newly elected officials. Why would those details be left out of an official communication replete with supporting testimonies from other elected officals bearing the same D after their names?

It is this poorly constructed...... by design...... illusional foundation of trust, that makes further design discussions a moot point. Dealing with a crooked contractor is a losing proposition. Find a new one or sit back and enjoy the predictability another 4 years of JC will bring.

Nah, to be a real "snob", you need to actually look down on someone -- whether it's renters, single mothers, people who live in Abbott districts, people who don't live in suburbs, or whatever. Sure, there are plenty of snobs around here, but I'm not one of them.

I don't actually look down on those who write like valley girls, but I'm certainly not above laughing at them.
