New Jersey

Wow! What an election day!  

Tonight it will be one week since Americans from every corner of this great land stepped up and made their voices heard – and, what a sound it was! From New Hampshire to Washington State, Americans came out to vote for freedom and lower taxes and against massive over-reaching government. We voted against the idea that “a little intellectual elite, in a far distant capital, can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.”

I just watched Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie on the Sean Hannity show. Rudy was supporting Chris Christie for Governor of New Jersey later this year, and as a proud New Jerseyan, I was reminded of yet another reason why I'm supporting Rudy and Christie for Governors of New York and New Jersey: Democrats have held power for so long in the Northeast that they've been corrupted by it.

Corruption happens often in politics and it happens in both parties, and it's inexcusable whenever it does happen-- but there's no arguing, it's happening more often and more prevalently among Northeastern Democrats than anywhere else in the country (except possibly Chicago). The reason is obvious: Democrats have held power for so long that they now take it for granted. They see public office not as a responsibility, but as a way to be above the law (Spitzer and Dodd), to tax the masses (Corzine and Paterson), and to gain personally at the expense of the public (Dodd).
