I love you Mr. President but I'm not voting for Corzine

[bigdarryl]

He's(Obama) in my State NJ campaigning for this idiot but he's a DISASTER!!! for NJ.high ass property taxes job cuts inside the prison system putting Correction Officers safety at risk. One Officer just on Mon got the shit beat out of him by four inmates and nothing from anyone from his Administration on how the officer is doing.No way no how for Corzine

[MarjorieG]

1. All governors taking hit on the economy, taxes. Look at big picture with the alternative, please.

I'm a NY neighbor.

[BlooInBloo]

2. Pfft. This is DU - not place for rational thought about who the alternative is. ALL OR NOTHING!!!!!!

[bigdarryl]

3. LAW ENFORCEMENT!!!!! is off limits in cuts next time you call a cop think about that

[FrenchieCat]

4. And you think things will improve with a GOP Governor?

Really?

[bigdarryl]

6. I'm voting independent

[scheming daemons]

9. Then you're helping put Christie in.....

Just like Nader voters in Florida in 2000.

[skipos]

23. Yes! THAT will learn Corzine and New Jersey a lesson they won't soon forget!

Punish New Jersey with a Rove Republican! Learn 'em GOOD!

[PretzelWarrior]

18. of course they will improve. the stimulus starts kicking in.

so the numbers will "show" things got better under a Republican if they are voted in and the Dem is voted out during this cycle.

[Sugarcoated]

26. You think the cuts won't be worse with a Republican?

I know you're angry, but think of the alternative.

[iconocrastic]

27. Corzine = Goldman Sachs. 'Nuf said.

[skipos]

5. Enjoy Christie (R)

I am sure he will be way worse than you think.

[Beetwasher]

7. If You Vote For Christie, You're An Idiot

No matter how bad you think Corzine is, he's better than any Repub.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. yup. nt

[Yavin4]

11. If 8 Years of Bush Hasn't Taught Some DUers That Lesson

Nothing will.

[scheming daemons]

8. Hope you like your Repuke governor Christie....

If you vote for him, you deserve him

[independentpiney]

12. We've always had high property taxes in NJ

I'm in Ocean County and mine haven't gone up anymore thasn usual under Corzine, not that the Governor sets the property taxes anyway. Are you a prison guard by any chance?

[billyoc]

13. The Goldman Sachs guy?

[Beacool]

14. High property taxes?

Naaahhhh, I wouldn't know anything about it.

I live in Hoboken, it has the highest property taxes in Hudson County. My consolation is that since both Corzine and Menendez are my neighbors, they have to pay them too.

17. You guys are like #1, we in CT are #3. Sigh. But I am not leaving, ever.

http://efinancedirectory.com/articles/States_with_the_Highest_and_Lowest_Property_Taxes.html

The northeast just is more expensive over all, but I could never get used to a slower paced culture. I am just used to it by now. Some people hate the congestion, the amount of people, the expenses but oh well...

[Beacool]

19. Yeah, commuting to work is an adventure around here.

Plenty of transportation and all of it messed up. LOL!!

On the other hand, NJ and CT are always battling for first place as they have the highest income per capita in the nation. So, people may pay more in taxes, but their income is higher too.

[Jennicut]

22. Yes, that is true. So its all relative.

Our congestion can be a nightmare, our highways were not built for all this traffic (look at the Merritt Parkway) but we are small, so it still takes less time to get around then other states.

[tabbycat31]

21. my parents live in NY and their property taxes are 3X the average in NJ

[Beacool]

24. Yeah, NY is bad too.

:-(

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

15. People don't understand that property taxes promote better schools, which in turn,

promote better neighborhoods. Newark is turning around for the better, as is Jersey City and Hoboken.

Property taxes are high no matter who the governor is, Dem or Repug.

Why blame Corzine? All governors are facing tough economic times.

I wish Americans were taught critical thinking skills as youngsters. If they did, they would understand the governing process much better, and thus not so quick to blame people who don't deserve it.

[tishaLA]

16. And they forget that states have had to raise taxes as a result of republicon policies

If the federal government hadn't pulled the rug out from under the states, a lot of this crisis at the state and local level could have been averted.

[tabbycat31]

20. do you really want a Karl Rove protege in charge of NJ?

[Nedsdag]

25. You better hope Lautenberg is in good health for the next four years.

Because if your boy Christie becomes governor and, God forbid, something happens to Lautenberg, guess who picks the next senator?

Think before you type, my friend.

[PM7nj]

28. Corzine sucks, but...

Christie would be worse.
