I heard that new Jersey gov say he was going to turn NJ upside down this a.m.

[lonestarnot]

Aren't the pockets already empty there? :shrug: You get what you pay for NJ.

[stray cat]

1. Lets see what he can do - if he makes things better for NJ more power to him

[lonestarnot]

2. Snort.

It is very apparent what he can do. :rofl:

[TommyO]

3. Well, he can eat, that much is apparent

[lonestarnot]

5. "I'll gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today."

:evilgrin:

[TommyO]

6. That's the Republican way!

Apparently we here in NJ didn't learn from the Christie Todd Witless debacle.

[LynneSin]

16. I think about every 10-20 NJ has to put a repub in the governor house

just to remind themselves how totally messed up the state is and the republicans can't fix it either.

Honestly, as long as this idiot doesn't fuck with choice or civil rights, I think NJ can survive 4 years. Else there is plenty of room for ya here in Delaware.

[TommyO]

17. You're right, we'll survive, though I don't have to be happy about it!

I have a feeling I'm stuck here in NJ for a while, taking care of family will see to that.

[LynneSin]

18. There's always room for you in Delaware

My college roomie was from NJ outside of NY. They still love New Jersey but would never ever move back. They have a beautiful home in Delaware in a wonderful neighborhood and reasonable property taxes. If they were to sell that and move back to New Jersey they would have a rundown house in a bad neighborhood. They know better.

[FormerDittoHead]

33. Our neighbor moved to Delaware just because of the taxes here in NJ.

We're looking to move in 3-4 years ourselves into either PA or DE, and we figure the savings in taxes would be a LEAST two months house payments a year...

[Jennicut]

22. Or here in CT. We are not that far and with high prices and high property taxes

it would be like you never left! Except we don't have the Jersey accents.

[TommyO]

25. You also have marriage equality and the Mark Twain House!

[Jennicut]

27. LOL. And we have Long Island Sound....er, never mind.

Your beaches are still better then ours. Long Island Sound has no waves. :(

[TommyO]

31. I love the Jersey Shore, even if my neighbors voted for Christie.

[soleft]

11. How about attaching him for his politics and not his physical appearance

Which would make you a bigot. So let's not go there.

[TommyO]

12. How about you sod off?

Who the hell are you to accuse me of bigotry?

[zonkers]

20. Ah, a little self righteous indignation. You made an inappropriate "weight" crack. Own it.

[TommyO]

23. I said it, and have no problems saying it again

I'll give you the same advice, sod off.

[zonkers]

35. I'm the magic mushroom man, brother Tommy and I grow impatient with you.

[Zywiec]

14. Maybe he has a thyroid condition or is on medication?

:rofl:

[FormerDittoHead]

4. Another Republican saying he's going to cut spending w/o naming a single thing.

I remember McCain talking about the scalpel then the hatchet, etc. but FOR ONCE I'd like to see them NAME one thing they'd cut (except for those 'evil' public schools)...

[lonestarnot]

7. They smell a few coins left there apparently.

[Graybeard]

8. Maybe he should ask the Governator in Golly-vor-nia

...how easy it is to govern a state when everything is upside down

[lonestarnot]

10. Heh! Soon be pals no doubt.

[Warpy]

9. NJ isn't a hard line conservative state

and if he tries to govern from the hard right, he's not going to last long.

He's drunk with victory today. The hangover of political reality will start to set in a few weeks from now when he realizes he wasn't elected king.

[tabbycat31]

26. I want him to see road blocks every step of the way, paving the way for Governor Cory Booker in 2013

[Bitwit1234]

13. Maybe make

"them an offer they can't refuse"...you know like his cousins the Genevosa family...he is a really faithful family member. He shows up for all the meetings and gatherings.

First things to go social services, cuts to schools, hospitals, and the building and repairing of anything to do with service. Give a ways to big business and tax cuts to the rich and insurance companies who put him there.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

15. I Hate It When Republicans Are Happy

They're just so darn smug. I had one Republican friend crowing about Christie, talking about how she's in love with him and hopes he runs for President in 2012. I was like, THAT Goober? PLEASE run him for President in 2012!

[LynneSin]

19. Smug about what - just on a few isolated things

They are all trying to spin the NY-23 as a non-factor. Guess what - Bill Owens will work more directly with Obama and that was a very safe republican district.

They pick & choose their smugness.

[redqueen]

21. LOL...

Great subject line... and I love your username. :)

[tabbycat31]

30. oh that would be great if he ran in 2012

I want to see him creamed if he does

[Xenotime]

24. NJ get ready for the GOP machine.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

28. Hmmmmm aren't there duly elected state Reps and isn't there a Dem majority?

[DaveinMD]

29. huge

Dem majorities in both houses of the legislature.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

34. That's what I thought. So much for Christie's words! :)

[TommyO]

32. Yes, and they need to move forward and keep Christie in line.
