Here's An Idea
give some tips on how they can be more effective in a state controlled by a Democratic Governor and Democratic majorities in the Legislature.
How about stop voting WITH them and start voting based on Conservative principles ..
The Democrats proposing raising something 50% and the GOP compromising it to 25% is NOT being fiscally conservative, it's being complicit in the Democrats agenda.
Have you seen the votes some of these GOP Senators have cast? Newt Gingrich is a strong fiscal and social conservative, how many of these 17 GOP caucus members do you think even get what he is saying?
He would have better success talking with the GOP Assembly with Doherty, Webber, O'Scanlon, Merkt, Carroll, etc ..
Newt in New Jersey?
I hope Newt didn't catch the RINO Virus. He must have needed a shower real bad after that experience.
