I have often thought to myself that people would think twice about the way they vote if they had to pay property taxes to pay for it all. But then I think back to when I didn't own property and I would not have wanted to be denied a vote. But then again, I never had my hand out to the govt.

It's the arrogance - the elitist attitude - the bending the rules every which way to get their way, like this: http://biggovernment.com/2010/01/17/is-new-jersey...

We've shown that when we really rally together around good candidates, we can beat the machine. We are the new machine! Let's keep those engines running and wheels turning so we can steer this country back in the direction it was designed to go.

At least we can get through to leave a message with Lautenberg. Everytime I call Menendez's office, no one picks up and the voice mail is full!

Bless your heart!
You think found a way to try to twist this into an attack on the Tea Partiers.

What you don't get is that we are tired of everything being politcized. The point of my post was to find a way to stop this nonsense and let people stand on their own principles and actions. Reid, Clinton, Blago are examples of politicians who do what ever is politically expedient. They don't care about anyone but themselves. Try to do a little honest research on the Tea Party monvement and you would find out that we stand for Liberty - everyone's liberty and less government nanny state. You may find the nanny state OK because you agree with the current group in power. You may not agree if it were a different group. We don't want it regardless of who is in power.

While I find his comments extremly inappropriate, my first thoughts were – Reid was in a private conversation and he has the right to vocalize his beliefs. Secondly, if someone is a racist and we don't approve of their behavior they can be voted out of office. If the voters don't have a problem with Reid's views, then let him stand for the Democrats as their majority leader. All the cries of racism are just an extension of political correctness. In my opinion, Reid should not step down and Trent Lott shouldn’t have either. While I do agree that we should demand Democrats hold themselves to the same standards they hold everyone else, we need to also change the way we handle these situations. We need to find a way to use this to stop the political correct nonsense. Next time they try to neutralize someone over something stupid like they did to Lott or Imus, we need to not bow down to their demands and chime in on the calls for resignation. We need to circle the wagons like they are doing now. Do we have free speech or not?

Everyone was thinking that Corzine would "win" the election in NJ - but he didn't.

We can do this - I gave a campaign contirbution and then sent an email asking friends and family to do the same.

It's a wonder anybody takes him seriously - or Susan Estridge (she ran Dukakis' FAILED campaign). Why they would be considered valued commentators for the left is beyond me. What worse campaigns can you think of?

Sorry - I haven't read the whole story about this. Does this mean the entire McCain-Feingold is unConstitutional? Or did it only strike down part of it?

Will they ever learn?

I kept trying to come up with a good sign along these lines for the Tea Parties:
1. LET THE WEALTHY (like the Kennedys) REDISTRIBUTE THEIR MONEY, LET THE “RICH” WORKERS KEEP MORE OF THEIRS
2. WHY AM I GREEDY? YOU’RE THE ONE WHO WANTS MY $$
3. I WORK FOR MY MONEY, HOW ABOUT YOU?

Never really found the right way to say it.
