‘Don’t Let Obama Do TO America What Corzine Has Done to New Jersey’ 

HACKENSACK August 10, 2008 – When Republican presidential candidate John McCain visits Teaneck tomorrow, Bergen County Republicans will be there to deliver a simple message to the national media: “Don’t let Barack Obama do to the United States what Gov. Jon Corzine has done to New Jersey,” 

 

With Corzine acting as an economic advisor for Obama, Republicans say Americans should be worried about Obama’s intentions and his judgment. 

“Americans should look long and hard at what liberal Democrats have done to New Jersey and to Bergen County specifically. Look at what these Democrats have done to our taxpayers. Is this the kind of nation they want to live in under Barack Obama?” asked Robert Yudin, chairman of the BCRO.

"I think the answer  is a resounding no.”

 BCRO freeholder candidate Chris Calabrese said:  Thanks to the Democratic Party, New Jersey has the third highest debt in the nation, the highest property taxes, a crushing public employee pension obligation and the worst business reputation in the country.  

“If Barack Obama is taking economic advice from Gov. Corzine, then voters throughout the nation should be very scared,” added Calabrese.

 “Corzine and the State Democrats are driving people and business out of this state.” 

Calabrese’s running mate Paul Duggan said Corzine and the Bergen County Democrats share the same arrogance and dismissive attitude toward small town America as Obama.

  

SMALL TOWN DISDAIN

“Barak Obama thinks small town America is a bunch of angry people clinging to their Bibles. Jon Corzine and the ruling Democratic Party in Bergen County have equal disdain for small towns,” said Duggan. 

“The Bergen County Executive wants 35 small towns in the county wiped off the map and Trenton Democrats will help them do it,” said Duggan. "The national media should take note of that." 

Duggan added that while Corzine and the state Democrats are looking to destroy small towns: “They are pouring billions of dollars in unapproved debt  into failed and corrupt big cities. They are taking that money from suburban taxpayers. Is that part of the Obama plan for America?” asked Duggan.

 


TRACK RECORD OF DECEIT

GOP freeholder candidate Jeff Heller said Corzine’s track record of deceit should be enough warn off voters. He noted that Corzine raised the sales tax 16 percent and tried to call it tax relief.

He said Corzine hid his disastrous plan to sell the New Jersey Turnpike until after last November’s election. He followed up that failure by breaking a promise to take on no more state debt without voter approval; in late June Corzine led the effort for the state to borrow $4 billion for school construction without voter okay.

  “Jon Corzine only cares about middle class voters when he wants their money.  When it came to more debt for the urban school districts, Corzine broke the law and didn't give allow middle class people to vote on it. Yet, he cut more than $4 million in aid to middle class, small towns in Bergen County,” said Heller.

“Like Corzine, Obama will bankroll his plans on the backs of middle class taxpayers.”
