Corzine Failed

Jon Corzine had nearly four years to clean up the two biggest problems facing the state: taxes and corruption.

Corzine failed.

New Jersey pays more property taxes than anyone else in the country, but Jon Corzine has increased taxes by more than $1 billion twice, including eliminating property tax rebates for middle class homeowners this year.

Corzine failed.

New Jersey seems to get more than its share of corruption, more than anywhere else in the country. One news outlet even called New Jersey the "corruption capital" and "the epicenter of the nation's corruption."

And 44 people were just arrested in a corruption sweep that "ensnared some of" Corzine's "closest allies." A member of Jon Corzines cabinet even had his house raided by FBI agents.

Corzine failed.

corzine is a failure. i can't wait until he gets tossed under the bus in the next election. his campaign motto should be: corzine has what it takes to take what you've got.

Corzine is a total ASSHOLE!

however, i am happy because he will lose this november. his loss will be an embarassment to a socialist named obama and a tremendous blow to the democratic establishment!

then, republicans will also win in virginia since obama has also become unpopular there. since the economic stimulus has failed and democrats have wasted too much taxpayer money, the democrats will suffer an embarassing defeat in the 2010 midterm congressional elections.

CHRIS CHRISTIE 2009!

Actually it was more like 5 seconds (CORZINE: TAX. WASTE. DEBT. FAILURE.). The rest was just extra detail.

I love that FAILURE motto. It really slams home how grand Corzine's failures truly are.

It is the state legislature /governor that is responsible for local crime/taxes. Not a Senator. Chris Christie is being investigated for RICO charges in collusion with state Attorneys. Do your own research or be fooled.

Amazing it took only 15 seconds to sum up Corzine's tenure in NJ. I will still pay the highest taxes, suffer thru countless more scandals, and deal with Dems who want ME to pay for it all. Good times for this Jersey guy.
