Living in NJ isn't much better. We've got Frank Lautenberg, Robert Menendez, Jon Corzine and a largely Democratic population to cope with here. Don't ask me to flatter them... 'cause I can't.<BR/><BR/>To give you an idea of how long they have been screwed up here, you can go back to the second election of Abraham Lincoln in 1864 to realize that NJ was one of only 3 states to vote for that do-nothing, big-talker, General George B. McClellan. Joe Biden's state was another one. See <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1864_Electoral_Map.png" REL="nofollow">HERE</A>. Lincoln won 91% of the electoral votes, and NJ wasn't among them. Figures, eh?<BR/><BR/>(I should be careful. My wife has relatives named McClellan who are probably related to George B. McClellan.)Hawkeye®https://www.blogger.com/profile/15719046062819366641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075358.post-13443444530696626702009-02-17T15:36:00.000-05:002009-02-17T15:36:00.000-05:00I know that ,here in Wisconsin we had a budget sur...I know that ,here in Wisconsin we had a budget surplus when Tommy Thompson was Governor ,but we've been running in the red ,since the Democrats took power. Nothing is better . Infrastructure is worse ,teaching is worse,two big important lawmakers in Milwaukee are going to the Pen,voter corruption is horrible.The Governor is up to his nose in crooked campaign contributions.
