>>>The solution to this problem, and it won't happen overnight, is to help elect as many fiscal AND social conservatives as possible
I don't know how it works in other states. I'm a bit confused as to how it works in NJ. Coleus, do you know what I'm trying to say?
But you have to have X amount of dollars and be approved by state level officials to even get on the ballot here in NJ. So the iron curtain seems to be in effect here.
And as for media attention to the crime and corruption...the state basically has all the major media outlets in their pocket here.
Outside of groups, like us, that have found places like FR...much of the corruption doesn't get the attention it needs.
Bush got 46% in Jersey in 2004, he got 40% in 2000, and Dole got 36% in 1996. Up 12 points since '96 is a good thing. Bush got 1,594,204 votes in 2004...........almost half of Jersey went for the dumb, conservative cowboy, who is pro-life and pro-traditional family, and pro-military, a born again Christian.........who woulda' thought?
Chris Smith (R) Dist 5 got 58%, he's a religious conservative...........Mike Ferguson (R) Dist 7 got 57%, I believe he's a religious conservative.............I'm not sure about Bill Spadea (R) 40% Dist 12, he lost on his first try, but had some endorsements from religious conservatives.
Check out the College Republicans, and other campus republican/conservative websites, not just in Jersey, for ideas and contacts..............check out your local republican group, your state republican organization...............a very good place to look for ideas and insight is the many pro-life groups in Jersey and on the internet..............national republican and conservative sites offer insight and information and many times a real human to get info from.There are many pro-religious sites that deal with issues, such as Focus on the Family, Citizen, Christian Coalition. If you look hard enough, you will find like-minded folks in your area who can help you get the info and contacts you need.
Jersey is moving towards the right, slowly, but it is moving................people are beginning to realize that liberalism is harmful and super expensive.............they are beginning to realize that the MSM has been lying to them for decades.............you can help them see the light, you can help them, you can do it. I know you can.
