Corzine has done nothing to fix this state. he has only continued to run it in to the ground. until he stands up to the public sector unions our state will continue to crumble.

Long live the People's Republic of NJ!

Get behind the Corzine toll scheme?  You mean borrowing 35 billion and paying back 100 billion?  Sure, Martin, it'll be a boon to Wall Street, the same facist ememy you constantly rail against, you know, corporate greed.  It'll put my children and grandchildren in debt.

What you don't understand is Corzine raised the budget $6 billion in year one, butr can't cut $3 billion out of that raise.  Why not freeze spending at FY 06 levels, not FY 08?  And Martin, Whitman did contribute to this mess, but nothing compared to what McGreevey/Codey/corzine have done.  They've raised the budget 50% in six years and bonded the state into obliviion (some illegally).  Get a grip, Martin, finances are not your forte.

Corzine has been by far the boldest leader this state has had in decades. He has taken on issues that previous governors either created or swept under the rug. Whether or not you agree with his solutions or not, you cannot dispute that he has attempted right the ship. What we have done, hasnt worked, his ideas cannot be any worse than where we are.

Reminds of me when my middle school teachers would make one of the multiple choice questions a joke. Apparently, Martin chose it with out the slightest sense of irony.

Whether or not you agree with his solutions or not, you cannot dispute that he has attempted right the ship. What we have done, hasnt worked, his ideas cannot be any worse than where we are.

So, why does this analogy not apply to President Bush in your book? How much better of a job do you honestly think John Kerry would've done over the last four years?

I guess this analogy only applies to  the pols on your side of the aisle.

Bush vs Clinton isn't the issue here, Corzine's "courage" is what is on trial here.  Good intentions are always grand and worthy of applause but the road to hell is also paved with good intentions. Corzine indeed talks strong and has bold intentions but look at his track record, the only thing he has actually stood firm on was increasing the Sales tax to cover increased discretionary spending.  That's not bold unless you consider turning his back on the will of the voters bold.  If you consider nothing else remember these stats: State Debt 2002 $15 billion --  2008  $38 Billion; Annual Budget 2002 $22.4 Billion -- 2008 $33.5 Billion

Bold leadership would have been: (1) standing up to labor unions and promoting the interests of those who labor so labor doesn't have to labor so laboriously - namely we taxpayers who subsidize their lifestyle; (2) backing initiative and referendum to take the reigns of government definitively out of the hands of the special interests; (3) having a private sector-style audit performed on every aspect of state government to find any and all budgetary savings possible; and (4) following through on his campaign promise to end pay to play as we know it. 

Instead, Governor Gutless: (1) capitulates to the unions (not to mention his ex-gal pal CK) on every imaginable front; (2) pushes an obscenely expensive statewide pre-school boondoggle; (3) backs a family leave program that will further squeeze the private sector in a time of de facto recession; (4) runs with his tail between his legs away from his pledge to fight for real ethics reform and end pay to play; and (5) proposes hocking our roadways to raise $$$ that will never actually go toward meaningful debt reduction (if anyone thinks the Trenton mob will be able to discipline themselves from tapping the $38 billion mother lode, they are truly an idiot).

Yeah, he's bold alright.  BTW, so were the Three Stooges and their antics never seemed to end well either.
