Obama: "Teabaggers" not FT Hood Shooter are Extremists

2009-11-08T09:23:00.003-05:00

I couldn't help not noticing that Barack Obama couldn't bring himself to pass judgement on the Muslim extremist who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas. But he has no problem labelling citizens who are against his out of control spending sprees as such (from the Corner on National Review):President Obama, in his pitch to Democrats on the Hill today (from the New York Times): Mr. Obama, during

Tell your representatives to vote NO on the 1.8 Trillion Dollar Healthcare Bill

If you live in any of these congressional districts, it is time to contact your Representative and tell them to vote for YOU, not Nancy Pelosi. Or else.Representative Name Phone FaxRobert E.

Unemployment at 10% and where is congress? Why spending of course.

2009-11-06T10:38:00.003-05:00

From the AP:The Labor Department said Friday that jobless rate rose to 10.2 percent, the highest since April 1983, from 9.8 percent in September. The economy shed a net total of 190,000 jobs in October, less than the downwardly revised 219,000 lost in September, but more than economists expected.The jump in the jobless rate reflects a sharp increase in the tally of unemployed Americans, which

We recently received the following communication to our email at njtaxrevolution.com: r u contingent of the Republican Party? ... similar to Dems: "Victory ’09, a project of the NJDSC” (Democratic State Committee). Regardless, any explanation for Daggett's surprisingly low tally, far lower than pre-election polls? Two-thirds of my property taxes go to the school system which, in turn, is mostly

What Was Daggett's Influence?

2009-11-05T00:00:00.001-05:00

I was talking to a colleague this morning about Daggett's influence. He was sure that Daggett took votes away from Corzine. I was sure that he took votes away from Christie. I'm sure we're both right -- he took votes from both -- but from which candidate did he take the most?A useful Web page at the The Progress provides a detailed breakdown of votes in West Essex. The towns involved are Essex

Thoughts on the Election of Chris Christie as Governor of New Jersey

2009-11-04T07:46:00.006-05:00

1. Thank you, Lord.2. Thank you, people of New Jersey.3. On social conservatism. Liberals, strategists, and pundits have told us repeatedly that the Republican party is immolating itself over abortion, gay marriage, gun control, stem cell research, and similar topics. We're not inclusive enough. We're out of step. We'll lose elections because we're only playing to our base, and our base is

Christie Wins! And we now have hope.

2009-11-04T01:31:00.002-05:00

Chris Christie just gave his acceptance speech as the new Governor of our state. He balanced the concerns of the citizen of Hamilton to his family member's history in the state. I sent my wife a message that maybe, just maybe we get to stay in this state that we love with a Governor who understands why we have considered leaving. Right now, I am sitting in a hotel in California. I am here because

Democrats caught funding Daggett!!!

2009-11-03T16:24:00.003-05:00

With Corzine's support stuck at no better than 42%, the candidacy of Chris Daggett has always been a bit too convenient. While we have not suggested that Jon Corzine has directly colluded with Daggett, we didn't rule out a connection between the two campaigns. Now the news comes out that Corzine's campaign paid for Daggett outreach to voters (from Instapundit and PolitickerNJ.com):The Democratic

Absentee Ballots in NJ

2009-11-03T11:46:00.004-05:00

As the perennial question of voter fraud rears its head in New Jersey (not without good reason), one has to wonder about the changes made to the absentee ballot laws in the Spring. I don't even recall seeing these changes reported and since I monitor New JErsey news daily, I would suspepct that very few people notice the passing of this legislation. I am sure that this is the beginning of this

Election Day! Get out and Vote!

2009-11-03T11:40:00.002-05:00

If you are sick of the way NJ has been run, get out and vote. And just a hint, if you really are mad, voting for the same guy in your local races, Assembly races or Governor is not going to create change. Vote for "the other one".

NJ Saved or Created Jobs: 24,000 (at $728,197.75)

2009-10-31T17:00:00.001-04:00

New Jersey was expecting to receive $17,476,745,987 from the $787 billion stimulus package passed by congress earlier this year. This morning, just in time for the election, it was reported by NorthJersey.com that New Jersey saved or created 24,000 jobs. We can be sure that Corzine will be trumpeting this number on the campaign trail this weekend. By my calculation, that means that the Federal

NY-23 Shocker: Scozzafava out - Now it's Daggett's Turn

2009-10-31T14:32:00.003-04:00

Politico has reported that Republican candidate Dede Scozzafava has suspended her campaign for the NY-23 House seat. From this article on the announcement:Republican Dede Scozzafava has suspended her bid in next Tuesday’s NY 23 special election, a huge development that dramatically shakes up the race. She did not endorse either of her two opponents -- Conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman or

Breaking: NJ Secretary of State Wells Responds Re: Dem Ballot Request

2009-10-30T18:32:00.004-04:00

Yesterday we commented on a story that appeared at the Corner on National Review regarding a letter sent from the Democratic State Committee attorney Paul Josephson to New Jersey Secretary of State Nina Wells. The content of the letter was allegedly a request to change state policy on absentee voting when signatures on the application do not match the signature of the voter on file. This is a

Burlington Township Embarassment - Educational Indoctrination - Part 2

2009-10-29T15:29:00.004-04:00

Last month we highlighted the school based indoctrination at the Bernice Young Elementary school in Burlington Township, New Jersey. Remember the creepy Obama as Jesus chant led by a long time teacher in the school? As part of the post, we used a photo that was posted on a news site and we specifically did not link to the video because we felt that enough other sites had the video (and continue

NJ Democrats Prepare for Election Theft!

2009-10-29T13:41:00.003-04:00

One would think that here in New Jersey Democrats would not have to engineer election theft as was done in Minnesota and Washington State. With a clear advantage in voter registration and long standing tactics and techniques for encouraging voter fraud, New Jersey Democrats typically don't sweat elections that much. From the ongoing scandals in Atlantic City and Essex County, to the blatant

Corzine and Obama Billboard - Keep what going?

2009-10-28T18:00:00.001-04:00

As I am driving to Trenton today to catch and Amtrak to DC, I notice a billboard with Barack Obama in the foreground and Jon Corzine in the background. In large bold letters the billboard reads "Keep it going". That made me start to think...what is Jon Corzine trying to tell me? To understand the billboard, you must understand how Corzine or Obama define IT.Let's take a shot from Obama's

Wayne DeAngelo - Bought and Paid For!

2009-10-28T11:29:00.004-04:00

Often when you hear a politician like Wayne DeAngelo pontificate on how he is a man of the people, you have to see whether or not he is supported by the people. For example, his signature achievement is the anti-business Paid Family Leave act (ie the Drive More Business Out of NJ Act). Of course, it does't do much for those now out of work in the state when their company said goodbye or those

There are 2 Tea Party Events in Morristown this weekend

2009-10-28T09:00:00.002-04:00

There is some confusion regarding the Tea Party event that we announced last night for this weekend and it has to do with the fact that there are two events. The first event is Saturday October 31, 2009 from 11:00-2:00 on the Green in Morristown sponsored by The Morristown Tea Party group that we have had listed here all year. You can get more information here.The second event will be helf

PPP: 72% think Daggett cannot win

2009-10-27T14:01:00.002-04:00

Despite the response from folks at the campaign when we wrote that Daggett cannot win, a poll released today from Public Policy Polling suggest that New Jersey voters see it the same way:One point I would like to make. If the Corzine or Christie campaigns were anywhere near as attentive as the Daggett campaign, I don't think that this race would be perceived as negatively by the public. We have

While Obama campaigns for Corzine: Afghanistan gets worse.

2009-10-27T12:52:00.004-04:00

Many people are starting to question whether Barack Obama is delaying his decision on his Afghanistan strategy until after next weeks elections in New Jersey and Virginia. Whether or not you believe it is true, the lack of a decision is severely impacting the effort in Afghanistan as 8 more die today (from AP):The deaths bring to 55 the total number of American troops killed in October in

Daggett can't win. So why is he in this?

2009-10-25T19:46:00.003-04:00

I continue to struggle to understand the candidacy of Chris Daggett. He is an independent candidate for governor and he is polling between 5-17 percent depending on whose poll you are looking at. Of course, I will likely get a comment on this about how he is charging and is going to win the race (and the email of the commenter will be a link to the Daggett campaign). But we are now late in the
