Get ready to go Old Testament, Florio tells Dems

You know, it is seared, SEARED in my memory that John Kerry was a serial exaggerator!

The problem John had was that he even made up stories that simply could not have possibly been true, including that President Nixon sent him off to Cambodia on Christmas of '68 . . . weeks before Nixon actually became the President.

The truth was what undid him!

Maybe he should have told the Democrat Convention back then that he was "reporting with doody."

As for Jim Florio, and his canards about others "slithering" . . . here was a guy that openly lied to the people of this New Jersey about the need to raise taxes, and then immediately hammered them with the largest tax increase in the history of the State, right after being sworn in.

Thereafter, he justifiably was sworn at everywhere he went!

So, if, as Florio says of Biden "[h]e talks the way we talk," then we can expect a string of whoppers that could compete with Burger King!

Gee, I wonder whose I.Q. is higher . . . Jim Florio's or Joe Biden's?

Why should anyone care about what he has to say? Jim Florio is a washed up politican, who was humilated in 1993, and has done nothing since.

All good points, but I have two problems with your wisdom:

(1) I love shellfish

(2) I bang my wife whether she's on the rag or not.

I'll stick with heathenism and watch this country eventually recycle into history like other nations before it that became bent on militarism and greed. No skin off my nose - I'm just passin' through on the way to eternal damnation :)

The incredible thing is that Jim Florio would invoke as a biblical pediment, an Old Testament biblical underpinning as the inspirational "call to arms" for a modern Democrat Party political campaign, including one for Senator Barack Obama to be elected President!

So, a fundamentally religious covenant based on, among other things, a strict prohibition against making one's self an idol, now should underscore "I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions" or for "We are the one we've been waiting for" -- the list goes on!  It is idol-making at it's worst!

And the Democrat, Jim Florio, who invoked that Old Testament appeal, was really the father of the modern statist approach to State Government here in New Jersey -- ultimate intrusion into, and attempted control over the personal lives of all aspects of it's citizens.  Many have left; the rest wait in fear for other shoes to drop.

Florio failed as a Governor because he made a very basic and ham-fisted grab at the contents of everyones' pocketbooks -- a covetous aggregation of financial control and power if there ever was one! But while he ultimately failed in permanently swiping everyone's money, the statism he favored has never surrendered.

The latest iteration of Jim Florio, in the person of Jon Corzine, has simply added fiscal irresponsibility in the extreme to the old Jim Florio formula.

Brazenly refusing to balance the State budget this year, though required to do so by the State's constitution, he has also increased by half again, the crushing indebtedness of the State of New Jersey from $24 billion to around $36 billion, in spite of all of his campaign promises to put our fiscal house in order. The final piece will drop this fall with the "renewal" of the transportation trust Fund.

By doing so, he will force those in the future, many of them 10 - 15 years down the road, to pay that deby at a huge premium, for what he has irresponsibly and unnecessarily undertaken now.

If you aren't a coupon-clipper, you've been hosed!

Young people, many of whom have no current voice in the form of a vote, will then be involuntarily forced to pay for his obscene spending now.

If that is not stealing, then I don't know what is.
