ELIZABETH - First came Caroline Kennedy, then Patrick Kennedy, and tonight at the Portuguese Social Club, Bobby Kennedy, Jr. appeared in support of Gov. Jon Corzine.
Heedless of specific state issues, Kennedy went right for the jugular.
"We cannot reward Republicans for what they did to this country during the eight years prior to Barack Obama," said the son of the late Attorney General and 1968 candidate for president. "How can Chris Christie come over and seriously run for governor? It's time for them (Republicans) to sit down and let someone else run the state."
More than one thumb and forefinger blew a shrill and long whistle of approval into the big room amid resounding hand claps.
In the back, while co-headliner U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Florida) ginned up the mostly female crowd with a mammogram rip snorter, state Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Elizabeth) ordered a Coke and said, "The public has seen it," speaking of Christie's temperament, "and that's part of the reason why Jon's going to win."
Crediting Corzine for helping to foster a culture in the state that has enabled the legislature to go from 43rd in the country to 11th in the ratio of women to men, and noting the presence in the governor's cabinet of more women than men, Democratic State Party Chairman Joe Cryan hailed Corzine as "the greatest governor in the history of the State of New Jersey."
Corzine jogged up onstage to stand beside his running mate, state Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck) and emcee Assemblywoman Annette Quijano (D-Elizabeth).
"There are a few hours left - thank God," the governor said. "The Democratic Party is the party of inclusion. We are blessed to be the party of inclusion. And this state - it's so diverse. Our strength is making sure everyone is at the table."
The crowd rose for a standing ovation as "We are Family" rocked the speakers.
Garden State Equality fires new broadside at Dems Smarting over the state Senate's refusal to pass marriage equality and disillusioned at the moment with the Democratic Party majority, Garden State Equality’s 85-member Board of Directors unanimously decided against giving financial contributions to political parties and their affiliated committees. ...
“We will work harder and smarter to protect consumers, to preserve civil rights, to effectively regulate the alcoholic beverage industry, to ensure that the integrity of New Jersey’s casino gaming industry continues, to keep drives, passengers and pedestrians safe on our streets, to assist victims of crimes, and to remember always the importance of juvenile justice on issues affecting the state." -- Attorney General-designate Paula Dow, at her Senate confirmation hearing.

Kennedy is right about Christie...
But he is wrong about Corzine.
NJ voters need to stand up and take a stand against both of them
For Christie to win, he needs the Daggett supporters to keep sucking voters from Corzine. Currently Daggett is taking 2 voters from Corzine for everyone he takes from Christie
If you're afraid that a vote for Daggett is a Vote for Corzine, don't be because the polls show Daggett is hurting Corzine and putting Christie ahead.
See this Daggett Hurts Corzine and Helps Christie
You can be sure that you don't waste your vote by making the I'll vote for Dagget pledge.
The Daggett pledge is based on a simple premise, if enough people pledge their vote then you will vote for Daggett

The Kennedys are a Joke
Could someone tell this clueless clown from out-of-state that the guy he's supporting IS the governor, and that the Dems have owned the statehouse for the past eight years - "It's time for them (Republicans) to sit down and let someone else run the state."
I can't wait for the day that a Kennedy is asked to give a speech and NOBODY shows up to hear him/her talk.
And will someone please take the crack pipe out of Joe Cryan's hands - "Democratic State Party Chairman Joe Cryan hailed Corzine as "the greatest governor in the history of the State of New Jersey." SERIOUSLY?!
Hey Alex
What are you going to be doing with all your free time starting next Wednesday when Daggett finishes with 5 - 7% of the vote?
Your Daggett Pledge site is a bit behind schedule - 6,000 down, 94,000 to go. And even at 100,000 you're still only about an eighth of the way there, if you're really lucky.
It is looking as a heated debate
This is like a heated debate on who will come next to the power after assuming things for the better half and powerful regime of things
Book App
It is so nice
When the uninformed interlopers come to our state and tell us what's what.
Quick question for all:
What do Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, Patrick Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy and the rest of the cavalcade of Democrat Political stars have in common?
Answer: THEY DON'T PAY NJ PROPERTY TAXES AND DO NOT LIVE HERE!!!!!
And one last question: Who founded the Tax Foundation, which the Democrats criticize when Chris Christie and other Republicans cite for NJ having the HIGHEST PROPERTY TAXES IN THE UNITED STATES?
Answer: John F. Kennedy.
VOTE CHRISTIE GUADAGNO!!!
Bobby Kennedy is a MORON
His father was a great man but he is an idiot and an environmental extremist who has hurt American workers. Supporting an evil LIAR such as Jon Corzine should earn him points in hell.
Shut Up Bobby!
"How can Chris Christie come over and seriously run for governor? It's time for them (Republicans) to sit down and let someone else run the state." - Bobby Kennedy
Ehhhh. . . Bobby. Boneheaded Bobby. "Someone else" has been running this state for the last 8 years and it's an absolute disaster. And if it weren't for Prosecutor Christie busting over 100 Democrat criminal scum, NJ would be an even bigger mess than it already is.
As for your assertion that Republicans shouldn't be allowed to "seriously" run for office, perhaps you ought to move to Venezuela, where elections are fixed and only one person, Hugo Chavez, can "seriously" run for office.
Stinking Kennedys and their arrogant, socialist sense of entitlement.
"We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work!"

Corzine, Kennedy's, cars and coverup's ..... Perfect together !
Corzine Election Theft
Is what needs to be watched. Keep an eye on that ballot folks.
Democrats Ask New Jersey Secretary of State to Ignore Mismatched Signatures on Absentee-Ballot Requests: http://tiny.cc/7B3yo
Shocking development, I know.
Is this correct?
"EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (WABC) -- Jason Shih, an Assistant Deputy Director to the campaign of NJ Gov. Jon Corzine was arrested last night on drug charges.
East Rutherford police say they pulled over the 25-year-old on Route 17 for driving while using a cell phone.
Police say they found 19 ecstasy pills and several hundred glassine envelopes.
He was charged with possession of a controlled narcotic and paraphernalia that is used for distribution.
Story continues below
He was released on $15,000 bail."
Apparently the Corzne camp is denying that this guy is involved, but at a minimum, it appears from opensecrets.org that this guy works for the NJDC:
"New Jersey Democratic State Cmte Expenditure Detail
Shih, Jason, Paramus, NJ $420 Field Consulting Services 11/03/06"
This should be researched and verified.
In any event,
VOTE CHRISTIE GUADAGNO!
Sounds correct.
You need a massive amount of drugs to get excited to vote for Corzine.
Cryan - Most "Grating Governor?"
MadInNJ,
Maybe what Democrat State Party Chairman Joe Cryan really meant to say was that Jon Corzine is the most "grating Governor in the history of the State of New Jersey."
At least that make some sense, no? I can only think of one possible exception.
by Trochilus
At least douche bags
have more use than the Kennedys.
My Favorite Line Was...
Clinton's when he said...."why are we even having an election?!"
This just shows how out of touch our politicians are. We need to vote them out, and replace with some honest folk, not the slimey shills in trenton right now....
Jason Shih arrested
It would seem that the paid "scrubbers" working for Obama/Corzine have been busy beavers this morning. Already the story of the arrest of Jason Shih has been scrubbed from WABC and the NY Post. If this story had been false there would have been a major front page retraction made, but no the story has just been scrubbed.
Me thinks they may have even reached out to police authorities and this arrest may have magically disappeared by now. Can you say corruption? As I have said, if this was a mistake there would have been a major front page retraction of the story made.
I found your website perfect
I found your website perfect for my needs. It contains wonderful and helpful posts. I have read most of them and got a lot from them. To me, you are doing the great work. Carry on this. work at home In the end, I would like to thank you for making such a nice website.

The Kennedy's are Facists
Joe Kennedy Robert Kennedy Jr's gandfather was a facist and said as Ambassador to the UK during WWII while England was under attack that "Democracy was finished in Britain and in America too." this was Good News" to the kennedy's (scum) but bad news for Joe Kennedy as he was romptly fired by Rosevelt for being a facis and Hitler supporter after brazenly making his feelings known to reporters in the UK at the time during a large press interview. All of the Kennedys are facists and believe in a facist American state run by a ruling elite (them). Fortunately for us most of them so disgraced themelves with their own debauchery like Joe or Ted Kennedy (killed a women while drunk and the coward he was fled the scene to leave her to die in a frozen river) that they have had less affect on destroying America than they would have liked. Robert Kennedy Jr. is just another bootlegger's heir parasiting off of other's money and hard work ad trying to force us into a state of slavery. Let them all burn in hell with Ted Kennedy where I'm sure he's roasting in a hot pool of his own excrement like they all will.
Comparinng the Kennedy's to douche bags: an insult to the bag
The keenedy's aren't at all like douche bags, they are much more like crab lice.
