And Jon Corzine (D) and Doug Forrester (R) said absolutely NOTHING about their stance on issues. Just some vague stuff on lowering "corruption" and "the cost of living"

Jon Corzine: blah blah blah I'll lower the cost of living blah blah blah I'm lucky enough to have experienced the American dream so why shouldn't NJ?
Doug Forrester: blah blah blah We're paying for the corruption in Trenton with higher property taxes blah blah blah hurting our schools blah blah blah time to stop it.

Do any other New Jerseyans share the same sentiments?

Don't forget they are politicians. They'll say anything to get a vote then forget about the voters later.

Some folks do have a level of acceptance of deceptions before getting pissed off with their preferred politian. ;)

Deceive? Don't most of the population already know which party they are going to vote for anyway? :p

Ugh. I didn't even know there was corruption here, lol. They both just sound like the same person to me. Does it really matter which one wins? And I think we all know that which ever one gets elected will just raise some taxes, because that's what they always do. It just doesn't matter to me anymore.

Which part of Jersey are you in? I'm in Bergen County.

Lol, methinks that McGreevey's appointment of his lover to head state security counts as corruption enough.
