The right wing machine that is trying every dirty trick in the book to malign Obama and get the democrats out of power has made Jersey it's next battleground. Every radio host is unilaterally raving against Corzine and how he brought ruin to the state. They talk of corruption in Jersey politics and how voting for a democrat again will be a vote for continuation of dirty politics in Jersey. The words 'dirty politics' sounds funny coming out of republican mouths, who have fallen to new depths in their blatantly duplicitous campaigns (and gimmicks like tea parties) against Obama, screaming on a bed of falsehoods. The truth is that Corzine is not like every other corrupt politician and has tried many times to take the unions and political class head-on, even shutting down state government and casino functions till they agreed to his demands. He has many commendable accomplishments to his record like his historic investements in NJ schools and his determined efforts to fight the deficit, which is mainly the result of the economic downturn. The republicans, like at the centre, have tried to paint him responsible for all the job losses and deficits, but the truth is that the republicans know that there is no other path other then what Corzine is following. They cannot dig out of the deficits through tax cuts though Christie is falsely proclaiming that he'll cut taxes when he comes to power. If you ask him how, he will give a run-around that will make Palin proud.

The advantages of choosing Corzine are many, and one of them is that he has nothing to lose in a second term as he will not be fighting for re-election again, so that gives him a better chance at pushing harder to fulfill his cost-cutting agenda. He is not corrupt and is not interested in the money, as he has lots of it, so his sole focus is on development. Christie does not offer anything specific that would make us choose him, and the risks are too high as both he and his deputy are connected to law enforcement, both have right-wing views about immigrants, and would probably make NJ a police state. Anybody who pushes for police officers to be immigration enforcers, who doesn't understand the terrifying plight it creates for immigrants (legal!!), subjecting legal residents of the state to live in an atmosphere of 'guilty until proven innocent' and make them live in constant fear of being asked to prove their status....even to the point that they might think of carrying passports if they go out to throw the trash, is not an American and does not deserve any office. Real Americans know that their country is about freedom, liberty and hope and creating an atmosphere of terror (especially for our newest arrivals) is not exactly what the founding fathers had in mind. Of course, they will always fall back on the Cheney/Rove trump card of 'protection against terrorism' for all the steps that they would like to take and gullible people still fall for it even after the bitter lesson of the Iraq war (talk about knuckleheads). Finally, they do not have the expertise or the qualification to be govern the state and fix the state economy. The only thing that I may excuse them for is their social views, as I'm not a big fan of abortion either. But, most important is if the person is good human being and anybody who is insensitive enough to snatch basic freedom from people's lives and makes them live in terror, cannot be a good human being.

If the Obama supporters (who seem to be dwindling) think their job is done after getting him elected, then think again. The right-wing deseperadoes will stop at nothing to kick him out of office and get somebody else in. They are fuming and foaming at the mouth at the thought of this guy in office cause he is proving most of their beliefs to be wrong and is turning their whole philosophy on it's head. Moreove,r the right-wing has very few relatively decent guys like McCain and is full of scheming deceiving schmoozters who will stoop as low as it takes (tough to go below Coulter) to get him out of the white house (and will defend their dirty actions in their own minds by saying it's for the greater good).

For those who elected Obama, do not give up on the person and refresh your beliefs on which you voted for him. He is trying more than we expected he would to address all the difficult problems we face, whether it's the economy, healthcare, foregin policy and he is working his butt off tryi ng to make things better for us. It is very clear that his intentions are right and that his effort is genuine. He has made many right calls, much more than any other president I can remember, and like any human being might have made a couple of wrong ones. Moreove, he's really trying to get things done soon because he realizes the urgency of action. It is now again on us to fight for him and our betterment and push back the muck-machine of the right-wing and hit back harder at them. Watch out for more on this topic soon..

The pathetic ignoramuses who wag their tails when they see their fave Foxy News' maniac and will swallow any deception from the anchors ("wink wink nudge nudge, we know there are no death panels in this plan, but hey we'll say whatever it takes to get these beef-brains worked up and start screaming for that socialist's head"). The guys, like shitty Hannity have been at it from day one like to obliterate Obama, with no limits to the extent of manipulations and poker faced lies, cause he's 'liberal' and 'socialist' as per their twisted minds and they have to get rid of him. They'll say and do anything and keep blaming him for everything (similar to what the Democrats used to do with Bush but compared to the extreme measures and level of sliminess of the right-wingers that was a lovefest). With the economy in such a shape and people worried, the people who were originally against or skeptical of Obama, kept getting more and more brainwashed by these mealy-mouthed foxes, and got sucked into the vortex of dangerous deceptions.

I experienced some of that anger when one of my doctors' kept ranting and raving about the Sotomayor confirmation hearings and about Obama's empathy statement (the law is the law .... where does the heart come in?) and not taking eyes off the f-news screen while trying to do a procedure on me. It was apparent that the fuks news guys had hatched a typically dirt-minded plot to keep stoking the fires of their viewers till they start rampaging the streets and create a loud enough hue-and-cry to start a movement against the socialists who are 'destroying the country'.

So they decided to take it out on the healthcare issue (it could be cornball farming for all they care) because that is the best issue to hit back hard at the President. Well, the jokes on you mister (but nobody's laughing) as all you end up doing with your lump-headed tantrums is ensuring that you continue paying a higher health insurance premiums and continue to have healthcare costs add to the deficits. So, enjoy it all you can, because at the end of it all, you will not be smiling either.

And another small note for the smug right-wing bull-heads who are stewing in their hatred and trying to drown their opponents in their rivers of rage, one small word of advise, give it up already, for the people on the other side are not push-overs like in the bush-rove era. This time, you bundle-brains try something that is unjustified and not right, we'll turn that roars into squeaks. Burst as many veins as you can, we are not going away and don't you are raise your voices cause we will scream louder than you. We are not going to rest till every one of you cavemen sees sense and we will keep hammering it into you slowly but surely.

For people who agree, all I can suggest, even if it seems like we're borrowing a page from their books, is to shove yoursleves and all like-minded people to townhalls and scream back louder. Show them that we will never bend, and we will not deviate from the path of justice come what may.  We now have that unshakeable faith that comes from knowing without doubt what it right and what is wrong.
