Quote of the Day

"The brazen arrogance of Wayne Bryant -- to believe that he was completely beyond the reach of the law, to extort state institutions for personal profit in return for the funding of good and worthwhile program that serve the poor, the disadvantaged and the needy of our state -- is simply the most disgusting conduct I've seen by a public official in my seven years as U.S. Attorney." -- U.S. Christopher Christie

Genius
Yeah, maybe Governor Corzine can talk about how, at a time when people are struggling, businesses are failing, and the economy is in the tank, he just doubled tolls on our highways...a move that's sure to increase the cost of groceries, clothes and commuting to work.
Or he can talk about ethics....how he let the head of one of the state's biggest lobbying firms and the leader of one of the state's largest labor unions vote on the toll hike. That's not a conflict.
The guy's become another bad New Jersey joke. A real Wall Street genius. Let's hope Obama gets in and takes him to D.C. where he can work his magic on a national scale.
Just another Master of the Universe.
Gov. Corzine is just another Master of the Universe who has been behind the present financial and economic crisis. What is worse that we have another Master of the Universe in control of the Wall Street bailout, mainly Secretary Paulson. Now, he made a whiz kid from the Wall Street to set up the bailout. Guess who is going to implement the Wall Street bailout? You guessed it, the Masters of the Universe from the Wall Street, who will make money on the bailout. Call it what you want. I call it the biggest scam of the taxpayers’ money. Gov. Corzine’s response to all this: hike the tolls. What a genius! He wants to ride the crisis on the backs of all taxpayers. Yesterday, I saw him on the Fox business channel talking proudly how well the state of New Jersey is weathering the crisis, because … they were lucky and borrowed money in August to run its operations until next June. I mean this guy is a genius!

This Goldman Sachs pompous bastard has left NJ in ethical, fiscal l and cultural ruin
the three year Corzine
the three year Corzine economic plan is just another tax and tax some more Manufacturing is contracting, wages are stagnant, good paying jobs are headed out of state, unemployment is rising, and the middle class has shrunk every year since Corzine took office. Is this the miracle of "Wall street wizz liberalism and socialism ? The prosperity of the Corzine era is as fake as his tax cuts and property tax relief Corzines new Business Friendly New Jersey it's all smoke and mirrors. For Corzine to raise tolls at this point in time is proof of just how out of touch his really is .Our Governor doesn't give a hoot about the struggling homeowner who is worried-sick about losing his home and his job He just wants to make sure that the unions get there money from the taxpayer

Corzine
I hope he is around when the WAR starts on U.S. soil if Husane Obammeee is elected President.........
corzine for mccain?
Since 1988, the party that wins the Presidential election loses the NJ Governor's election the following year. It's worse in Virginia, the opposing party wins the next year since 1976! It's funny that the state elections here and in VA are not synched up with the national elections so as not to interfere, but there seems to be an inverse relationship developing (election+1 year=opposing party victory),
