New Jersey, you got what you deserve

[flabbybody]

very sad

I'm a California guy so I don't follow Jersey stuff too much. But, was Corzine doing a good job and did he deserve to keep it?

[flabbybody]

people who voted for Christie say they're pissed they have to pay such high property taxes. Let's see how Christie lowers taxes without eliminating services to the major cities. He'll raise tuition at the state university system, fire teachers and state troopers, and close public hospitals.
He hasn't said he'd do that but how else will he cut taxes? Unless he ran on that just to get elected

[brickcitybrother]

LMAO

New Jersey politics are a creature of its own, the only way to really lower property taxes here is just to consolidate all the counties into 21 cities getting rid of the 568 municipalities that each have their own mayor, police chief, administrators for schools. Will that happen no makes too much sense.
Also this state doesn't need a lieutenant governor, another waste. Btw doesn't matter if Corzine or Christie are governor the wealthy of the state will be leaving for Florida and North Carolina therefore making the stupid government here raise taxes even more to make up for the short fall which in turn will make more wealthy citizens leave.

All levels of government are bloated beyond belief, and are no longer accountable for their actions or lack of action. Baby killing cribs is just another daily example of incompetence and unaccountability. Stop voting for the communist party if you want real change ... I'm talking about the Democratic and Republican communist lovers currently in power. The Democratic and Republican parties that have legalized bribery so they can run for office each year, and keep their bureaucracies of voters on the payroll. The ones sending our jobs to foreign countries and letting them have control over our treasury.

With thousands of Americans losing their jobs and homes every god damn day, I still seems incredible that most people are perfectly satisfied with the choices they have at the voting polls. I wouldn't waste my breath talking about which Democrat or Republican party candidate is better than the other - both are recipients of corrupt money and influence from special interest lobbyist groups. How about the special interests of the taxpayers that keep these two-faced bastards in power?

Hmmmm is Ron Paul in the house?

[hippifried]

Yup, still there. Texas 14. Just keeps hangin' on.
Kinda like a fungus.

[JerseyMike]

More saying hey Ron Paul is neither a Republican or Democrat, need more people like him and Dennis Kucinich who don't listen to the likes of party leaders.

[hippifried]

Yeah, he kinda grows on you.

[JerseyMike]

hippifred you are awesome even though i hate hippies

[hippifried]

Why would you hate us? We love everybody. We were/are the biggest anarchist movement the world has ever known. We changed the world in 5 years by bringing tolerance into vogue. That's why we're talking to each other in THIS forum, without a worry in the world of anybody finding out because it just doesn't matter if they do anymore. It was a lot more than Woodstock. We were/are real classic liberals.

Mull this over: Both Ron Paul & Dennis Kucinich embrace the hippy mindset, whether they realize it or not. Their positions on individual rights are identical. They have some minor differences on trade policy, but not as much as one might think. They both abhor the misguided policy of using military power to combat ideology. The biggest differences are their thoughts on the size & scope of general infrastructure & maybe the role of hard metal currency. I'm not really sure where Kucinich stands on that.

I don't like Phish, plus it was more of a I hate hippies in the Eric Cartman mindset.
