A big “no thanks” to your big tent RINO philosophy, sir. You guys are party killers. You gave us McLame and Dole and (gag) and (puke) and (faint) and Swarzerwhatever and (wish it was all just a nightmare) and (please just buzz off and take the rest of the lib infiltrators with you).
i think people were just afraid of the ads by corzine claiming that lonegan was going to raise taxes of people making less than 30,000 dollars a year..
i think he should have just made them 0% and started the flat 2.9% for people above the 30,000
just so they wouldn’t attack him for this ...and just cut more from the budget...
No thanks. The RINOs are the ones who brought the party to extinction.
Look to the African-Americans, who have been giving their votes to the Democrats for many decades, thinking the Dems were going to do something for them. What has been the result? Zip, zilch, nada. Yet they keep coming back, hoping that "maybe this time" the Dems will come through.
Conservatives in NJ aren't going to do that. If the RINOs are going to play Democrat-lite, they'll do it without our support -- and without our votes. If the GOP dies under RINO administration, then it deserves to die.
Liberal RINOs make the GOP extinct. Take a look at Massachusetts. New Jersey is headed the same way. Christie will make it that much worse.
Why even be Republicans? When was the last time you saw a pro-gun or pro-life Democrat? Looked what happened to Lieberman and he was just moderate on the WOT.
You'll also notice that Northeastern Rockefeller Republicans are losing offices in droves. Maybe the people want the real thing?
I do not mind it if Cristie is a campaign supporter of Lonergan, I just don’t want him running the show. I was in NJ when the GOP establishment smeared the conservative leaders of the state as ‘Rat Finks’. I was in the state when the GOP establishment caused the death of John Spoltore (my old boss), the last conservative GOP state Chairman. In New Jersey the Democrats are always crooks and the state GOP establishment is the enemy.
On my earlier lists I left out Dewey over Taft in 1948 AND over Taft-supported John Bricker in 1944. I remember Everett Dirksen’s great speech in 1952, pointing at Dewey, clenching his fist and saying ‘We followed you before. And you took us down the road to defeat’.
