Sierra Club New Jersey Director Jeff Tittel continued his unrelenting assault on Gov. Corzine’s environmental record today.
Just two hours before Obama took the stage at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel to rally the Democratic base for Gov. Corzine, Tittel put out a release calling the governor “Unbama.”
“The Sierra Club, which endorsed President Obama for election and has worked with his administration on many environmental issues, finds the differences between the Obama and Corzine Administration’s striking. In many instances when it comes to the environment they are on opposite sides,” said Tittel, whose organization yesterday issued a mostly negative report on Corzine’s environmental accomplishments.
Tittel said that Obama was working to strengthen environmental regulation and key EPA departments while Corzine was doing the opposite. He also compared the state economic stimulus plan unfavorably to the federal one when it comes to the environment.
“New Jersey is bizarre-o world. We support Obama’s initiatives moving forward environmental protections with sound science and government transparency, but in New Jersey we have the opposite, Corzine is moving backward and undermining those protections,” said Tittel.

Now it makes sense
Christie's recent Obama-like environment/energy proposal was to get the Sierra Club's endorsement. What a sell-out!!!
Get a life...
Tittel needs to get a life. He's just background noise. He gets more praise than he deserves. If he actually thinks he'll get a better deal with Christie and the Republicans, he's a bigger fool than I thought. That's right Jeff, keep banging down the Governor and at the same time, banging down your credibility.
And yes, Christie's poor attempt to look like an Obama environmentalist was a joke. No one's believing it buddy.
Sadly, I can believe it
That is why I am still looking for a candidate to support in November.
It is no wonder New Jersey is in the condition that it is when the top three contenders for Governor are all left-wingers.
The Sierra Club remarks were pretty tough.
The comments that the Sierra Club made about Corzine are just brutal.
NJs Problem
How can anyone possibly have respect for the Sierra Club when they helped to elect a usurper? All politically affiliated groups in NJ appear to be less intelligent than we who hire them.
Sierra Club
Looks like the Sierra Club is maneuvering to endorse Chris Daggett. Of course, Tittel's been a Corzine critic for a long time, but that's my impression.
Christie Endorsement? No...
Tittel rips Corzine, but goes short of endorsing Christie. Why? Because Tittel is a liberal Democrat, not an environmentalist. Tittel's job is to get liberal Dem's elected so instead of endorsing Christie, he blasts Corzine in hopes that Corzine comes around before the election so he can endorse him.
Seriously, how many Republicans on any level has Tittel ever endorsed?
