Palin resigns. What a shame.

2009-07-03T21:15:00.003-04:00

Sarah Palin resigned today which is not news to many who follow this blog. What is sad in a way here is that she has become a target of a pathetic political class that includes both Democrats and Republicans. Whether or not you like her (and in the sense of full disclosure I do respect this woman for what she has done), she has handled herself quite well despite some of the most vicious attacks

Corzine gets EPA for premission to turn NJ in California

2009-07-02T23:50:00.002-04:00

From Nj.com:The Environmental Protection Agency today gave the go-ahead for 14 states, including New Jersey, to adopt stricter auto emission standards to curb green house gases.Our Governor wants to continue to make his mark in destroying the state New Jersey. You probably remember his insistence on government funded stem cell research after taxpayers rejected his proposal. His new agenda is to

Cap n Trade Jobs Bill - 2,600 up 467,000 down

2009-07-02T21:47:00.002-04:00

After Republicans went on the record calling the Pelosi/Waxman Cap and Trade Bill an energy tax, the Democrats went on every television show they could declaring the energy bill a "JOBS BILL". And they, including President Obama touted the big job gains in this bill(from Whitehouse.gov):Make no mistake: this is a jobs bill. We’re already seeing why this is true in the clean energy investments we’

Presidential Shame

2009-07-01T09:44:00.003-04:00

What does it say about a United States President who stands idly by while Persian woman and children are beaten by government thugs in the streets of Tehran...fearful that he may be seen as meddling in the messy business of oppression?And that same President racing to the support of a dictator in waiting who actively attempted to circumvent his country's constitution, got caught and through

New NJ Budget Tax Increases

2009-06-27T20:15:00.002-04:00

As predicted here, Corzine's budget that passed this week including a partial restoration of the property tax rebate program due to increase tax amnesty collections of 500 million dollars. Rebates have continued for Seniors and are restored for those making up to 75,000 dollars per year(at a 2/3 rate). It does eliminate the rebate for renters which I never understood anyway. From the Burlington

Looks like Chris Smith may have motivated his first primary challenger.

2009-06-27T19:47:00.002-04:00

While doing some research this evening, I ran across this blog entry:Until now. Now, he has not just strayed off the reservation. He has abandoned ship. His vote to decimate industry and the economy in America was not just some unusual vote for a tax increase or a principled stand on something like abortion or a single national security measure. It was a vote on one of the most transformative

New Jersey's Own - Cap and Traitors (Smith, LoBiondo and Lance)

2009-06-27T11:39:00.004-04:00

In case you missed it last night, the Democrat controlled congress pass a massive energy tax bill called Cap and Trade. The vote was close but only made possible by three REPUBLICAN representatives, LoBiondo, Smith and Lance. I have already commented on Smith and will leave to others LoBiondo and Lance. But needless to say, these men knew that NJ Republican voters were against this bill, they

Energy Tax Fraud Passes. NJ Traitor Chris Smith!

2009-06-26T21:31:00.005-04:00

I called my congressman today Chris Smith to encourage him to reject the energy tax proposed to line the pockets of Nancy Pelosi's friends while taxing the citizens of this country anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars per year. Republican Chris Smith voted for this tax. While I have supported Mr Smith in the past, from this point forward, he is now public enemy number one. Apparently,

Cap and Trade Tax will cost average family $3,900 poer year: MIT

2009-06-25T11:02:00.004-04:00

MIT profession John Reilly estimated that the Cap and Trade proposal put forward by Henry Waxman(D-CA) will cost every American family $3,900 per year. Various liberal blogs and the typical promoters like Media matters are howling that these estimates are way too high. But the problem is that even if the number if $250 dollars per year, this is ridiculous legislation that will do nothing but

NY Times Healthcare Poll - Fake, Phony and Fraud

2009-06-24T11:12:00.005-04:00

When I saw the New York Times Healthcare poll the other day that claimed that there was massive support for Obama's healthcare plan, I was surprised becauase the poll didn't seem to fit with the number of people who were "happy" with their current plans and doctors. Apparently, the fix was in (from CNSNews):A New York Times/CBS News poll released Saturday that showed broad bipartisan support for

2nd Stimulus? Let's repeal the first one!

2009-06-23T13:57:00.002-04:00

President Obama told a press conference today that a second stimulus wasn't needed yet because the results of the first were not clear. I beg to differ. The promise was that the rushed stimulus was needed to avoid job losses reaching percent. Congress passsed the stimulus and we blew past that mark heading toward 10%. Maybe this country needs the debate we didn't have with the first stiumulus

NJ's biggest problem? Auto GPS D-Assemblyman.

2009-06-22T20:00:00.004-04:00

Amid fiscal problems and a legislature and governor without a plan, what pressing issue does Democrat Assemblyman Harvey Smith think needs urgent attention? GPS use while driving. From Fox news:Democratic State Assemblyman L. Harvey Smith has introduced a bill that would “prohibit the manual operation of a global positioning system (GPS) device or similar navigation device by the operator of a

Christmas in June for Corzine - prepare for the rebate scam

2009-06-20T20:12:00.003-04:00

I was reading the New York Post editorial today referring to a larger than expected revenue collection from the NJ Tax Amnesty program. I read that New Jersey politicians were calling it Christmas in June. From the Daily Record:It's Christmas in June, but it also upsets the apple cart," said Senate President Richard Codey, D-Essex.The real question is "When did Corzine and cronies know about

Read the bill! Is that too much to ask?

2009-06-18T15:01:00.002-04:00

A while back we blogged about the passage of the stimulus act which was not read by anyone in congress because it would have impossible to read it given its size and the time allowed for it to be reviewed. Well, the Sunlight Foundation is back supporting HR 554 which would require 72 hours for legislation to be considered before congress. By introducing House Resolution 554, the bipartisan

Responsibility: Obama and Corzine

2009-06-17T19:00:00.000-04:00

President Obama makes a habit of blaming everyone in the past(Bush, Clinton, Reagan) every time he wants to ram through some massive spending plan. For example, Bush was at fault because he ran a deficit. However, Obama's projected deficit over the next 10 years based on the budget he passed, the stimulus he rammed through and the spending he is proposing will be more than the deficits of EVERY

GOP: Governor Deficit's (aka Jon Corzine) Budget

2009-06-13T10:06:00.004-04:00

PolitickerNJ.com ran an article based on the GOP criticism of Jon Corzine's budget scheduled to be debated this week. The article listed Corzine's ill conceived "time bomb", or bad decisions for today that we will pay for horribly tomorrow:The Corzine Pension Deficit -- Governor Corzine's budgets have underfunded the pensions off teachers, police officers, and other government employees.

Let's SLOW down major legislation...

2009-06-09T18:40:00.002-04:00

The Founding Fathers designed our government to balance the passions of the masses with the discipline of good governance through the makeup of the Legislative(House and Senate), Executive and Judicial branches. But unfortunately, our legislative branch of government is broken. Why do I say that?The Federal government has recently pushed through spending "express" style on stimulus to pass a

Another NJ Politician Sentenced for Corruption

2009-06-06T11:16:00.003-04:00

From the Star Ledger:A "crass, immature" Passaic ex-councilman was sentenced yesterday to more than six years in federal prison for accepting $44,500 in bribes for himself and other onetime city officials.Every time I see one of these articles, I am struck by the sheer audacity of the corruption. It is often in plain sight and the citizens keep re-electing these people who do not act in their

Minnesota's Bachmann takes on Acorn

2009-06-04T22:40:00.002-04:00

On my way home from the airport tonight I was listening to Mark Levin's radio show and heard Minnesota's Michele Bachmann speaking about her proposed legislation to organizations under indictment to receive Federal tax dollars. “This is about how Congress spends the people’s money and about setting the bar high. Accessing federal funding is a privilege, not a right, and it must be earned,” said
