27 April 2008 - New Jersey – The Corruption State
Newsday today reports on New Jersey’s corrupt political culture and the massive number of indictments and convictions of public offials in the past few years: Since 2002, 128 public employees in New Jersey have been convicted on federal corruption charges. About a third of those were elected officials, including state lawmakers, mayors and town council [...]

08 April 2008 - General Petraeus and the Senate – Maybe a cardboard cutout would be better
As I watched the Senate Armed services committee meeting with General David Petraeus testifying to the panel, I am struck by the lack of seriousness of some of the senators especially the chairman. As he attempted to get the General to give him a soundbyte that he was looking for, it was clear he wasn’t [...]

31 March 2008 - Dodd lives in glass house over mortgage meltdown!
Chris Dodd(D-Conn), protector of the poor, tough guy against big business, hater of all things Bush and a big reason why the Senate should have term limits. While Senator Dodd has been blaming everyone under sun the for the mortgage meltdown, perhaps he should look no further than his desk. From the Virginia Pilot on [...]

24 March 2008 - Economic Stimulus Welfare!
I just received a notice from the IRS regarding the economic stimulus plan. The good news is according to the IRS, I have to do nothing to receive my money aside from filing my tax return. The bad news is that very few people I know in New Jersey qualify. You see, they explain that [...]

21 March 2008 - Now Obama’s preacher is FOX News Fault?
Obama’s campaign blog is now blaming FOX News for calling attention to his preacher’s hateful rhetoric. We appreciate Chris Wallace for doing his job as a tough but fair journalist on a network that has been deeply irresponsible over the last week in its unrelenting and sensationalistic coverage of Senator Obama. Senator Obama gave the [...]

15 March 2008 - Attention NJ Residents – Here’s who to blame for your higher tax bill!
Democrats in the House and Senate this week voted to end most of the Bush tax cuts and let them expire in 2010. This will result in the largest tax increase in years which will be on the back on the next President. Even the USA Today which is far from a conservative newspaper stated [...]

15 February 2008 - National Security – Not from me
If you doubted my last post, read this one. If it doesn’t disturb you, you may have a problem.

15 February 2008 - House Blows Off National Security Responsibilities
The House of Representatives today decided to once again place politics in front of national security by taking no action on the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act). While some Democrats insist this is no big deal, I wonder why the Senate thought it was a big enough deal to ensure they passed their version of [...]

10 February 2008 - Economic Stimulous Rebates – Not for NJ!
Once again a plan which on the surface rebates taxpayer money back with the objective of having you spend that money and help the economy. But wait, at the last minute an addition was made for anyone who makes over $3,000 in income-they get a $300 check. Of course, that isn’t a rebate, it is [...]

07 February 2008 - House Votes on Earmark Moratorium
The National Taxpayers’ Union has sent out an alert that seemed a little confusing at first but makes sense when you parse it out. There is a question on the table — shall we reauthorize the Higher Education Act? — that needs a “NO” vote. Why? Because not reauthorizing the HEA would open the door [...]
