Finally a Corzine supporter admitted he would pay for his programs by TAXING the companies! Now, please explain why the companies will not pass that tax along to us. Corzine economics: Hide the screw job being given to the voters, sound like santa claus. What a pompous ass!

Any answers, Corzine? How would you prevent the taxes from being passed on to consumers?


< Subject: RE: Jon Corzine for US Senate >

It doesn't matter either way. Don't you remember a few years ago how the media reported that the big corporations were downsizing while their executives were giving themselves huge raises? Who paid for those raises? The customers. So it doesn't matter whether taxes or corporate downsizing increases prices, they will no matter what.

With the invention of HMOs (Healthcare Moneymaking Organizations) health care has become more and more monopolized, just like the banking industry. These days, instead of you going to a doctor for an illness and the insurance company paying for it, it's become something where you have to choose your primary doctor, see him first to go to a specialist, and the insurance company tells you where and when you have procedures done. Isn't that progress?

Jon Corzine, despite his links to Union County machine politics, is a man who speaks his mind and isn't afraid to stick to his principles. Florio was a consummate politician. As soon as he raised taxes, he didn't stand up for himself. He let his gun control bill get so watered down it does practically nothing.

So it is WRONG for HMO execs to take big bonuses and pass it on to consumers, but it is RIGHT to screw everyone by imposing a government health bureaucracy, upping taxes and giving jobs to the Democrats' friends? Corzine is another yuppie spoiled brat who probably still listens to Crosby, Stills and Nash and gets a boner.

Yuppie spoiled brat huh? The guy grew up on a farm anw worked construction to get through college and I am sure busted his ass on Wall Street to make his money. As for the Italian American comments guess whose mother lives in Bloomfield and who use to live in Bloomfield, thats right Michael Cino. Guess who else lives and works there, none other than our good Dr. Alfano who says he never met Michale Cino----what a crock of sh--. People who know Jon know he is not biased in any way towards any ethnicity. This whole thing was set up by Florio and his Bloomfield cronies. Its sickening as a Democrat to see other "Democrats" screwing each other but that seems to be Florio's way these days. Republicans hate Corzine because the would LOVE to see Florio as the nominee so they can take the seat. Not going to happen!!! Real Democrats won't let it.

Corzine's solution to health care is more bureaucrats and higher taxes. Don't go making personal attacks to cover that fact. You are trying to escape admitting that you would CREATE A HUGE BUREAUCRACY FUNDED BY HIGHER TAXES AND WITH EVEN MORE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS! That is anti-freedom. In Britain, they have socialized medicine, but only for the non-wealthy. They shut people off dialysis at age 65 regardless of survival potential. Does that sound like government at work? It does to me. Rich Arabs and rich English come HERE for health care, to the United States where Corzine the yuppie millionaire says our health care is broken. Poor Arabs and English get squat.

You made the point. The wealthy CAN afford the best doctors, lawyers, etc money can buy. It's the 20 million who are uninsured, whether through downsizing or unemployment, who need basic health care.

It was the Blue Cross/ Blue Shield insurance that started this inflation of medical costs in the first place in the 1950s. Ever hear of Medicaide fraud? The doctors and ambulance people automatically charge the taxpayers for nothing under Medicaide. Corzine must like that system. He wants more of it. Socialism is for idiots and con artists. I am not sure which Corzine is, but either one does not belong in office.

You're a millionaire yuppie who can get the best health care anywhere you want. Why should we pay for your cronies to run a bureaucracy? You are out of touch and stupid, Corzine.

So? The reason Bill Gates is rich is because he worked hard, and Dems like Corzine are trying to rip him apart. Wasn't it Ted Kennedy who used to preach about "obscene profits" the oil companies were making, while ignoring the "obscene profits" CBS, NBC, ABC and Ted Turner make? Who is partisan? BTW, see that the Star Ledger even has to call Corzine a radical left winger? Another yuppie, still burned out from Woodstock "Hellllllllpless, helpless, helpless helpless....."

Woodstock, oh wait he was working carrying cement to get himself through school while his parents ran a farm. Don't comment on thing you don't know anything about. You sound like a Florio person making things up in a desoerate attempt not to lose. Free college, free health care and universal education will cost an arm and a leg but people need help. Besides he will never be ableto get it through a Repub Congress anyway. The best way to make our society a better place is to provide the poor with an education. I can understand your problems with his healthcare proposals, they are a little stretched but what about assistance for the poor and elderly? Surely providing this assistance couldn't be too far fetched even for someone who seem as jaded as you about Mr. Corzine. You can insult him all you like but I know him as a person and he is a decent human being. His stances are ultra liberal, and I am a Democrat. But his heart is in the right place. What would you or I be doing if we had his cash? I think it is very honorable to try to help and I think Jim Florio, should he win this primary, will lose the general election because of the things he is doing right now. His campaign is disgusting.


< Subject: RE: Jon Corzine for US Senate >

Finally! You admit it will cost an arm and a leg. That makes you more honest than Corzine, who sidesteps answering any questions about paying for his kooky programs. Did the Great Society cure poverty? Then why do you expect universal health scams run by the government to make health care better?


< Subject: RE: Jon Corzine for US Senate >
< From: >Corzine fan!
< Date: 18-Apr-00 >

My, my, my! So many attacks! The Florio supporters are focusing on Corzine's "left-wing" positions (they aren't all that different from FDR's), saying he's too liberal to be elected. Well, that's what they said about Paul Wellstone in Wisconsin, Bernie Sanders in Vermont, Ron Dellums, Maxine Waters and Barbara Boxer in California, and Governor Jon Kitzhaber in Oregon. Yet they were all elected and continue to be popular in their districts.

Yes, Ted Kennedy did strike out at the profits of the oil industry. There's one difference, of course: the TV networks don't make their profits off environmental degradation. The TV networks don't put drunk anchormen on the air, like the oil industry allowed a drunken captain to sail the Exxon Valdez.

Did the Great Society cure poverty? Of course not, but it's better than doing nothing. Besides, the Great Society programs suffered in the 1960s as more money was spent on the Vietnam War. Did the New Deal end the Great Depression? No, World War II did, but at least the New Deal kept people working and allowed them to eat.

It would be wonderful if we could have faith in the conservative dream of an unrestrained free market providing goods and services and donating their extra profits to charity to take care of the poor. But it can't be depended upon! Conservatives have to be reminded these private companies they worship, up until the 1930s, busted unions, used child labor, had deplorable working conditions (remember the Triangle Factory fire?), and weren't known for their humanitarianism ("The Public Be Damned!" -- Vanderbilt). It took a good dose of government regulation to remedy many of those problems. I do trust government, because it's popularly owned.

It comes down to this. Will Florio beat Corzine? Maybe. Florio certainly has been in the game longer. But his ideas are about the same as all the others coming from the Beltway. If Florio shifts his positions, it will be because of pressure from Corzine supporters. It takes the chairman of a global company like Goldman Sachs to actually breathe some new ideas into a bland politics.

Your Florio candidate is a loser! He stands for nothing and is completely washed out! Sure, go ahead and vote for that beloved icon of yours. YOu will be helping Treffinger get to the Senate. The Democrats voting for Florio are all employed or connected to the Treffinger machine. Ask them where they work and whose ass they kiss.

As to health coverage, Corzine is not a stupid man. Unlike losers who don't have a cent, who smoke and eat like pigs, who are responsible for their own diseased and deformed bodies, he has the financial acumen to put together a solid plan. Your pathetic "Marxist" and leftie labels betray your stupidity and ignorance. That abounds in Bloomfield. Your great champion of Italian causes, chiropractor Alfano, is never offended when his great Italian buddies use the "N" word or call members of other minority groups Spics! I have witness this behavior first hand. Give me a break! The anti-Italian "propaganda" is BS concocted by the pathetic Florio crowd. Go ahead, vote for that loser. That's exactly what a certain person in town wants so that she can campaign for Mr. T.

Corzine has the vote of the young and educated Democrats. They are the future, not you!

Those people who smoke and eat are "pigs"? My, your love of humanity astounds me. What will Corzine do, make every Joe Sixpack a vegetarian? I find it amusing you go from the question of paying for Corzine's kook plans, and launch a barely coherent diatribe against companies, "slobs" et al rather than answer the question: HOW WILL CORZINE PAY FOR THIS? As for his "solid plan", tell me what is so wrong with American health care now? All the royalty from other countries come here for treatment. Britain stops dialysis at age 65, regardless of whether one could survive longer. Do you want the government beancounters making such decisions?

Now go ahead, launch another rabies fit at the Exxon Valdez to avoid facing reality.

What does Lesniak stand for? The Democratic Party? What does Lesniak's Democratic Party stand for? I'd really like to know. I'm a Democrat, but I'm little sick of having my candidates hand-picked for me...& I mean Clinton, Gore, McGreevy, Corzine etc. ad nauseum. I once saw Lesniak drunk, half-asleep in a chair at party during the League of Municipalities convention, with McGreevy kneeling at his feet like the devout disciple. It was a perfect picture of the Democratic Party in New Jersey. I wish I'd had a camera but I was too busy stuffing my pockets with free food. Maybe if I was better connected I could be stuffing my pockets with state contracts & do-nothing middle-management jobs.

Q) If Corzine leaves New Jersey for Washington on the 3:45 Amtrack Metroliner going 80 mph, and a labor union representative leaves Washington with a suitcase full of cash for campaign contributions to Democrats on the local going 45 mph, when will the two corrupt jerks pass?

A) We will get back to you with a position paper after Mr. Corzine is consulted.

Socialized medicine is different from Corzine's plan in what way? I bet you can't answer, because there is no difference. It is government subsidized free health care. It may be deducted from paychecks, but there is no difference between that and a tax than semantics. Go ahead, tell me the difference.

The difference is that the 30 million people without health insurance at any given time will be provided for.

Let's see. Socialized medicine, national health care, whatever you want to call it, is in place in every industrialized nation except ours. Of course, your response will be that royalty from other countries come here for health care. THAT'S JUST THE POINT! The wealthy can afford to travel to other countries to get the best care money can buy. What about Joe Six Pack who just lost his job (and therefore his benefits) due to corporate downsizing? How does he provide himself and his family with that insurance. The going philosophy is, "Well, the corporation can't protect its employees cradle to grave, so we have to encourage charities to take care of social problems." It doesn't always work that way.

If Florio wins the primary, Jim Treffinger is a cinch to win the seat. He'll just drudge up Florio's tax on toilet paper and the sales tax increase. That will matter to the people, more than some vendetta-ridden man accusing Corzine of anti-Italian remarks. Geez, even the Jewish community has let that go. The NJ Anti-Defamation League has said they won't pursue the matter further because there was no evidence Corzine brought up the lawyer's faith and even if he did, they accept Corzine's apologies.

So the man has some out of the box ideas, and he calls himself a liberal. So what? Does this mean the man isn't electable? As I said before, people didn't think Paul Wellstone, a well known 1960s radical, could win as Senator. He did. Nobody thought Bernie Sanders, who unabashedly calls himself an "independent socialist" could win a Representative seat in Vermont, much less the mayorship of Burlington. But he did. People in San Francisco didn't think Tom Ammiano, a truly liberal gay man, could win a seat on the city's board of supervisors. He did, and he almost won as mayor.

If you want Florio in the primary, you might as well just start campaigning for Treffinger now.

Florio's a great campaigner, a decent man, hardly a spendthrift.

Socialized medicine is not in place in any South American country, nor in the U.S.A. It exists only in Europe, somewhat in Canada, and only in name in communist countries....the ones that send their leaders to other countries when they get cancer. The Arabs claim free medical care, but where did King Hussein and the Shah come for treatment? Here. So you would change our medical system? Corzine = Socialist liar. Treatment and research have ALWAYS been superior in free market medical economies. Give me an example contrary. You can't.

By the way, liar, you said Corzine was not pushing socialized medicine, then you started praising socialized medicine. Are you admitting you are a liar too? LOL! As I said above, you were unable to answer me.....without being a liar like Corzine that is.

Jon Corzine is a good person who instead of sitting at the country club or socializing or traveling his retirement away at age 50 he is going to union halls and senior citizen homes to talk to people about trying to change a system that does not work and will not be able to support the numbers of people who are on it. You whine about socializing health care but there are hundreds of thousands of people in the country who have none. You talk about hipocracy like you know what it is. Florio's tax hike was done to help the working families of NJ but his so called politcal smarts failed to let him in on a big secret. 1.don't tax the rich--they'll run a campaign against you 2. Don't ram your policies doqwn peoples throats, explain what your doing and why. Florio is dividing local Democratic parties in the name of winning the election, even going as far as siding with the Sabina Republocrats in order to win. He has sealed his fate, many Dems were never going to vote for him in the fall now he is just adding to the list of people who will not do it in November.

Well, as we get closer to primary time, the bile and muck starts to fly, doesn't it? Hey Florio supporters, what do you think of your hero's sudden turn around on not using the "Union County Democratic Party" label? Even HE sees how much of a liability he is to his own party.

Why do you think the most powerful Democrats in the state are supporting Corzine, a man who, if you take away his progressive ideas, would be a Republican's wet-dream as a candidate. A man who rose from nothing to become the chairman of one of the nation's most prosperous companies. If you threw in right-wing ideas and union-busting, Corzine could have made Bob Grant look like Tom Hayden. However, Corzine also recognizes how government can play a positive role in helping people and alleviating social problems, so he has effectively alienated the Republicans.

Why is Lesniak, Lynch, Doria, Torricelli, Codey and Byrne supporting Corzine? Because they know if Florio wins this primary, Treffinger is going to put on his tap shoes and dance all over Florio's head. If you remember, Treffinger was part of the anti-Democrat backlash in 1994, riding in on Whitman's coattails as well as the imprisonment of corrupt Essex County officials. If Florio wins, you might as well put a huge bullseye on Florio's chest, because Treffinger will throw up the toilet paper tax, the sales tax increase and the watered-down gun laws.

Corzine, a man who rose from nothing and worked his way up, has a fighting chance against Treffinger. In the years Treffinger has been in local and county government, he has gone from the "Young Turk" of Essex County, cleaning up county government and pushing through welfare "reform" to becoming a Whitman administration insider. Corzine was never a politician, and thus can't be hurt by the old political games. The best that can be done is magnifying alleged anti-Italian remarks (again, there are NO Italians in the mafia?) by a burned opportunist.

The answer is clear: Corzine must win the primary or we might as well just put Treffinger's name on the Senate office door.

Remember Hoovervilles? Remember Agent Orange? Remember Gulf War Syndrome? Remember Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Find a private insurance or medical company which has the resources to deal with these problems and then you can criticize the VA. Anyway, if you look at how other countries treat their veterans, our vets are treated all right, even though there is room for improvement.

The issue in the Corzine/Florio race is electability. You have a insider who was governor of New Jersey and raised sales taxes and put new taxes on products like toilet paper. Or you have a man who grew from nothing to become chairman of a Fortune 500 company whose opponent can find nothing on except allegations of funding a war in Sudan and of pushing a disgruntled job-seeker's allegations of anti-Italian remarks. Of the two of them, who will pose a better challenge to Treffinger. If Florio wins, Treffinger's going to go through him like a hot knife through butter. Corzine stands a good chance.

I know why that one loser from Nutley (AND IT'S ONLY ONE PERSON POSTING AS A RABID ANTICOMMUNIST) hates Corzine so much. CORZINE IS BACKED BY WOMEN, BLACKS AND LATINOS. The black leadership of the State of New Jersey has made it very clear that they WILL NOT BACK FLORIO OR TREFFINGER. The only recourse RACISTS AND FASCISTS HAVE IS TO DEFAME AND SLANDER DECENT HUMAN BEINGS!

Nutley loser: Why don't you acknowledge the fact that you are a racist and that it kills you that women, black and Latino voters are supporting CORZINE. As to a "free press," the garbage Star Ledger has been running an anti-Corzine campaign for months. We all know why! This is racism at its best.

Actually liberalism as the current crop of democrats are trying to practice it is more akin to socialism. Still a losing game like communism. Of course with their super-inflated egos they believe they can make it work. They can't, it would fail as it has in the rest of the world. It does sound good though. Easy to sway people with the big promises. They always leave out the long term costs though.

And no I am not the Nutley guy. I am not sure but I don't think he can do this: corzine = COMMIE florio = SLIME

In general democrats piss me off with their incessent whining and crisis mongering. If your not doing at least halfway well in the current economy (yes clinton takes the credit for it, but be real) you just ain't trying. Nobody,particularly a socialist or democrat (oops being redundant there) is going to change that.

About the VA. Are you saying that because other countries treat their vets poorly we should also? I miss your point, if you had one. This has been a long standing problem. Take the mans suggestion and make a visit. Even the most basic of care is sadly lacking. Before these wonderful politicians promise everything to every group they need to form a coalition they should honor the promises that were made to the people that have actually contributed something to the country. Maybe consider it a test to see what the likelyhood of there doing what they say they will do is. Then they can move on to save the voluntarily helpless.

Florio accuses Comrade Corzine of things done overseas. I accuse Comrade Corzine of making promises he REFUSES to explain how he will pay for. Comrade Corzine says he will FORCE (As in anti-freedom) companies to provide universal health care. Sounds nice, to a retard. That means either the workers pay for it and/or the price gets put on the product. Comrade Corzine, a born yuppie liar, will not address that little problem.

Before you go off on another verbal flamethrower assault, why not explain to us how "universal health care" and "free college tuition" can possibly be provided for free? Does that mean the Mayo Clinic and Princeton will remain the highest standards on name alone? Make sense before you march out there with fists in the air shouting "Comrade Corzine hates Fascists!"

Sheeesh! Why can't liberals debate a point with intellectual honesty? Why are all who disagree called bigots amid a burst of irrational, fearful, hate?

The point about the VA hospital in E. Orange wasn't about the U.S. government's treatment of veterans. It was about the inability of government to manage enterprises it shouldn't even be allowed to look at.

I don't know if you're friendly with any government employees, but if you have the chance, ask one -- any one: cop, postal worker, bureaucrat, etc. -- to recall a few horror stories about incompetence, negligence, nepotism, no-show jobs, and unspeakable waste and theft in their workplaces.

Then you should imagine those images in a hospital setting... and then picture yourself being admitted for treatment there.

Why my resentment of some zillionaire thinking he needs to wield that kind of power over me makes me a racist, I don't know. I'm probably in good company, because hysterical freaks like that call anyone and everyone with a differing view racist, sexist, blah blah blahs.

And what entitles you to speak for all women, blacks and Latinos? Are you kidding? You're the racist, because you can't acknowledge the individuality of people. Stop thinking in generalities! Open your mind you weakling.

If it is true that the "black leadership" will only support Cor$ine, and not Treffinger, then so be it. I would like to see Jim Treffinger win, and he can do it without the Rev. Reggie Jackson... should it come to that.

The point is, Treffinger merits the support of average African-Americans who appreciate the routing of corruption from government, low taxes, etc.

To the guy who wrote:

"Corzine: Another yuppie know it all who believes your paycheck is his to decide where to spend."

Yeah, like there are politicians now who actually don't. Even Newt Gingrich, the leader of the so-called "Republican Revolution" in 1994 brought millions of pork dollars back to his home district, while railing against Democratic politicians who did the same. The fact is the government needs taxes to run, and another fact is that of all the other industrialized nations in the world, the United States is still the least taxed.

Now it seems people got the wrong idea about my writings about VA hospitals. What I meant was that you can go to any other country in the world, and see how they take care of their veterans, and the US still comes out on top. BTW, to the guy who said, "Before these wonderful politicians promise everything to every group they need to form a coalition they should honor the promises that were made to the people that have actually contributed something to the country," if you read Corzine's biography, he did serve in the Marine reserves. So much for the "He didn't do his duty for his country" argument.

I said it before, and I'll say it again. What this race comes down to is ELECTABILITY. I'm guessing that the anti-Corzines on this thread live in Essex County. Drive through Newark and the Oranges. The Corzine posters are all over the place! Look at the endorsements Corzine is getting. The black clergymen have already endorsed him, as have the party leaders, Torricelli, even Lautenberg himself!

Florio may have his power base in South Jersey, but its the large cities in the state (Newark, Paterson, Irvington, Camden, Trenton) that have the most population and will be the bellwethers for the primary. It appears Corzine has these areas pretty much wrapped up.

Again, it's electability. I'm not concerned about Corzine's "socialist" health care or education proposals, because he won't get them through. Hell, Clinton's "National Service" bill which would have provided education funds for students who volunteer got so watered down it didn't even last. I read Florio's plan, and even that wouldn't get through Congress. However, I'm looking at the prospects here. Florio's tax increases basically cost the entire Democratic Party huge losses in 1993 when Whitman came in, making him the bane of the party. If Florio wins the primary, the man is gonna be eaten alive by Treffinger. If Corzine wins, Treffinger will have to rethink his entire campaign strategy, because he'll be facing a dark horse candidate. If Corzine wins, at least he's new blood.

The point is simple:

If Florio wins, the party dies.

There is so much anti-Giblin sentiment in the corrupt, broken down Democratic machine, that Florio probably stands a better chance in Essex than in his So. Jersey base.

And should Cor$ine win the nomination, that's no problem either. He's an unknown nobody, and money does not vote. Just ask Arianna's ex-hubby in Calif., who spent $30 million. Treffinger would beat him like a drum. Even the bland, uninspiring Franks would too. Even the useless, casino huckster Gormley would!


< Subject: RE: Jon Corzine for US Senate >

< Date: 29-Apr-00 >

What, exactly has Corzine lied about? Just because he hasn't answered YOUR question to YOUR satisfaction doesn't mean the man is a liar. It's obvious you had no intention of voting for the man to begin with.

If you think Florio has a chance in Essex County, think back to the 1997 election in the 34th Legislative District. Norm Robertson did ads and literature showing Joan Waks picture next to Florio's and calling Waks a "Florio appointee." She subsequently lost.

As for the idea that Corzine is an unknown nobody, that "unknown nobody" sure has a lot of support up north. Just drive around Essex County. You see Corzine signs everywhere. I have yet to see a Florio sign. What's more, Corzine has the endorsement of the Black Clergymen association, a rather powerful endorsement. A poster a little bit back said that Treffinger will win even if Rev. Reginald Jackson and the clergymen don't support him. LOL! Why do you think there was such a hub-bub over Ed Rollins' joke that the Whitman people had paid off black clergymen in the 1993 election. BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL ENDORSEMENTS ONE CAN GET! Their endorsement of Governor Whitman helped her win the election in urban areas, where they hold a lot of sway. Hell, look at the literature the Republicans threw around the Oranges and Newark last year, claiming they were supporting affirmative action.

As for the Corzine versus Huffington comparison, Huffington's loss had much more to do with Arianna hiring a private detective to dig up dirt on a reporter and the lack of a cohesive message and platform than his money. Corzine has a platform, and he's sticking to it.

"A Florio win is a party tailspin!"

Lawn signs and posters do not vote. So if that's your measure of Cor$ine's support, take a deep breath and look at reality. Whoever wins Essex County wins the nomination; that's just a fact that is proven by history.

As for Treffinger and the black holy rollers, the County Executive won re-election in '98 handily, despite being opposed by those king makers... who disgraced themselves by aligning with Ken Gibson. They have no credibility with real people. The only voters who listen to the Rev. Jackson and those fools are the voters who trade their votes for free bus rides to the polls and box lunches.

Cor$ine can have them... and the limousine liberals too. The Florio support, I admit, isn't about supporting Florio. It's about defying Boss Giblin, the creep.

Go Florio!

Funny you mention that. I wonder who AFSCME and the other public unions will endorse, especially after Florio laid off so many state workers.

What's so bad about Giblin? He's done his best. BTW, don't think a Florio victory will end Giblin's power. It won't. If Florio wins the nomination, Treffinger will beat him, and there will be a battle for county executive. The Democratic choice will probably be Joe DiVincenzo or some other Adubato-backed crony, so don't think things will change.

If you look at the election results, Treffinger's power base was the white suburbanite. What has Treffinger done for Newark, Irvington and East Orange and Orange lately. Not too much! The fact that Verona Park is the best kept park in the county while Branch Brook is crumbling might tell you something. The County Executive race is a county race The Florio-Corzine race is on a state level, not a county one. If Corzine wins the big cities, Florio is lost.


< Subject: RE: Jon Corzine for US Senate >
< From: >Nuts About Nutley

What's so bad about Giblin?!

Well, what can you say about a creature which so lusts for power that he: a) has to be the labor union boss b) has to be the Essex Democratic chairman c) has to be the state Democratic chairman d) has to be the Essex County Executive (was an 'also ran' in '94) e) has to be President of the Board of Chosen Freeholders (as he was for a long time, not so long ago)

Losing sleep over the plight of the urban centers, are you?

You should ask Boss Giblin what he's done for the cities. The school boards, the mayors, the councilmen, the state legislators and the congressmen who represent the cities all work for Boss Giblin. They do what he says (for the most part) and don't do what he doesn't say.

Verona Park is so well maintained, because it was never in real disrepair, and because the people who use it, show respect. Branch Brook Park once was an actual vacation spot for my family, so don't lecture me about it.

And don't blame Jim Treffinger. Open your mind.


< Subject: RE: Jon Corzine for US Senate >
< From: >Corzine Fan!
< Date: 30-Apr-00 >

It's obvious the majority of Democrats on the County Committee approve of Giblin, so that's why he's county chairman. It also appears the state party leaders like what he's done, so they gave him the state chairmanship too. It probably doesn't hurt that Essex County is also one of the Democratic mainstays. Finally, he lost the executive race and is no longer on the freeholders. So don't make it look like he wants all these things all at once.

My point about the "urban centers" is that they are huge voting blocs. Newark alone will win you a nomination for a county office. But since the Corzine/Florio race will be statewide, whoever gets the majorities in Newark, Jersey City, Irvington, Passaic, Trenton, Camden, Paterson and other cities will carry the day.

At least Giblin is in contact with those "who work for him." What has Treffinger done for Newark, Irvington and the Oranges? NOTHING! The white suburbanites were his power base.

So the fact that Verona Park gets a lot of the maintenance work has nothing to do with the fact Treffinger was that town's mayor for how many years? Let me tell you, in Branch Brook Park and even in Brookdale Park, it isn't people's "lack of respect" that makes the grass overgrown or makes the leaves pile up. That may sound minor, but it isn't. Tall grass and huge leaf piles attract rats and insects, making the parks unsafe for the kids. It took a press conference at Branch Brook by Joe DiVincenzo and other freeholders to shame Treffinger into at least starting to improve that park.

Why shouldn't I blame Treffinger? I will give the man credit where it is due. Yes, he cleaned up the county government after D'Alessio. However, he is quickly becoming just as arrogant and insiderish as D'Alessio ever was. On the local level, he gets people with low morals to do his work for him. Did you know two of his operatives owe fines to the Election Law Enforcement Commission as far back as 10 years ago?

But we're getting off the subject. My point is about Corzine. He's getting the support he needs in this county, the most populated in the state. When Florio raised taxes, he basically screwed the entire state party, allowing the huge Democratic backlash in 1993. If he wins, no matter who wins the Repub nomination, be it Franks, Gormley, Treffinger or possibly Sabrin, they will trounce Florio by simply bringing up the taxes. Corzine, never before a professional politician or an insider, is a new creature for everyone. Let's see how the Repubs try to design a strategy against a man who, by any measure except his progressive beliefs, would be a Republican wet-dream.

Hmmm. Free college tuition is a wasteful bureaucracy, huh? I wonder if you've ever heard of a program which since the end of the 1940s allowed millions of people to go to college with little or no cost to the person. It's called the GI Bill. Since World War II, military veterans have been given money to further their education. Even conservatives have marvelled at how well the program has worked.

So much for that argument.

As far as health care goes, have you looked at Florio's plan? It's just as intrusive and involves government as much as anything Corzine could think up.

Somehow the above anti-Corzine rhetoric keeps reminding me of the 1930'3 when the Herbert Hoover people labeled Franklin Roosevelt a socialist and/or communist for introducing Social Security. Later the advocates of Medicare were denounced as advocates of socialized medicine.

Now, where would I be today without these life saving programs--in some dismal institution perhaps, with the government supporting me anyway? And wouldn't that be at taxpayers expense?

In democratic republics, the people aren't "masses," and they aren't to be "cared for."

Just remember that while government is taking care of you, it is taking away from someone else.

You're idea of a successful government program is Social Security? Do you realize that population trends will leave three workers being taxed to support a single benefits recipient? Picture your grandchildren working multiple jobs so you can collect more money than you ever paid in... and be ashamed!

Government is not a pension program. If you invested conservatively, you would have made more money from the NYSE since 1930 than you would've received from our loving federal government. Grow up! Stop waiting for some bureaucrat who doesn't give a damn about you to save you.

What we do not need is another Treffinger. Do you citizens realize what he is doing with our county? He is brutally selling out every parcel of open space left in Essex County. He is selling out his soul to developers in exchange for votes and financial backing.

Keep in mind that with more condominiums, five-acre homes, palatial states at the expense of Essex County TAXPAYERS, we will all be doomed financially and environmentally. We will have to shell out millions of dollars to keep this county afloat after Treffinger is done with it. Ask Sabina what she does to earn her keep under Treffinger's wing!

Those who label Corzine communist or socialist are really dreaming about the Reagan years. My friends, I make a prediction that your lovely stock portfolio is going to suffer a terrific blow by the end of the year. So much for "let the market place" run America. I do care about the hundreds of thousands without health coverage and with an inferior type of education. If that's socialism for the intellectually inferior, then so be it! We have to provide for everyone. That's what America is all about. We need to get away from the grotesque economic and class distinctions found in the third world. That's where we seem to be headed if we listen to George Bush, Jim Treffinger, or some other degenerate.

As to moral characters, Jon Corzine and his wife have been married for 31 years. These are wholesome, decent human beings. Remember your hero Newt Gingricht? His wife had cancer but that did not stopped him from abandoning her when she needed him most. This is the most disgusting example of selfishness and immorality I have ever seen.

To the above poster:

Please get your facts straight when you discuss Treffinger's or any public official's record.

"Brutally selling off every parcel of open space?" You sound like some Sierra Club ninny I know. I'll assume you're referring to the Hilltop, which is slated to become a 200+ acre county park. Yeah Treffinger is a real whore to the developers.... You'd think he wanted to build a golf course and office complex there -- oh wait! That was Peter Shapiro!

Maybe he illegally dumped tons of waste on the Hilltop in the middle of the night -- oh wait! That was Tommy D!

As for development of Hilltop, hundreds of needed seniors housing-units and a 100 or so townhouses do not add up to the "five acre homes and palatial estates" you've invented.

As for county finances, the rate of debt accumulation under Treffinger has been lower than under his predecessors. His handling of the jails/youth home fiascos, waste disposal contract, and other reforms have saved taxpayers HALF A BILLION DOLLARS!

Whoever taught you that "we have to provide for everyone" because "that's what America is all about" deserves a punch in the mouth.

America is about freedom and equal protection under law so that everyone may provide for themselves according to their unique talents. Until you realize that responsibility and freedom are the paths to success, you'll continue to be one bitter, disappointed liberal... the kind of fool Cor$ine expects to line up in droves at the polls.

Go Florio! (so Treffinger can whip you)

Yeah, Treffinger came up with the idea of making the Hilltop a county park ALL BY HIS LITTLE LONESOME. It had nothing to do with the howls of protest from the people in Cedar Grove, Verona and the Caldwells, as well as resistance from the freeholders. If you believe that, you believe in unicorns, too. Treffinger was ready to sell that land to the highest bidder when the issue first came up, claiming it would be a way to kill the county debt. It was only after all the pressure did he agree to make it a county park.

Are past Democrats guilty of environmental sins as well? Of course! But one you mentioned is in jail, and the other no longer has any political power. We're focusing on Treffinger because he's the one in office.

Like it or not, government has become a partner in American freedom. If it hadn't been for FDR, America's future would have been left to the whims of the robber barons like Mellon and Carnegie. Roosevelt's plan to create government jobs earned him the label of "a traitor to his class" and "socialist" by his Republican opponents.

So, if I'm to understand you, you do not benefit from ANY GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS at all? You do not pay into unemployment or Social Security, you do not use roads, or anything else? That's the conservative bullshit line.

If you see the support coming out for Corzine in this county, you'll see there are a lot of "bitter liberals and fools" who will help him get the nomination. I wonder how many government employees will support Florio, considering the fact he laid off half the state government work force.

I can't understand this fanatical support of this candidate by people who claim to stand up for the little guy. That poster even invoked the names of Mellon and Carnegie. What do you think Cor$ine is... a man of the people?!

Cor$ine isn't a robber baron exploiting the masses. He is a parasite skimming off the profits of robber barons... and liberals are waiting for HIM to save them? What a sad comment on society.

At least those "robber barons" of the Gilded Age created thousands of jobs for regular people, and then turned philanthropic in ways Cor$ine can't even comprehend. No, Cor$ine is too busy giving his money to every creepy Democrat hack he can find in order to buy organization support. Cavanaugh, Stender and Barrett... please!

Back to the county executive: Jim Treffinger may not have thought of creating Hilltop Reservation "all by his little lonesome," but he was among the earliest (c. 1985) proponents of that idea. He was a founding member of Save the Mountains, the organization started specifically to stop Shapiro's sell out to the developers.

Get your facts straight! You sound like that buffoon Gerry C., who was laid off by Treffinger and now spends all his time seething about it. You probably are Gerry, aren't you?

No, I'm not "Gerry C" or whoever that is. I have no connection to Treffinger whatsoever. Is Corzine rich? Yes. Does he flaunt it? No, not according to people who have met him. A person interviewed in a NYT article about Corzine a few months ago said he had the presence of someone who cuts your lawn, not some wealthy guy.

Anyway, yes, Corzine is a man of the people. What else would you call a man who is jeopardizing his political career by taking on the insurance companies by proposing universal health care, the NRA for proposing stricter gun control, and even the religious conservatives for his pledge to perform civil unions for gay couples?

The fact is Corzine was the chairman of A FORTUNE 500 company!!! The man knows finances, business practices, etc. He had several thousand people working under him. Again, as I said before: if you took Corzine, and replaced his ideas with "family values," union-busting and laissez-faire capitalism, the Repubs would be falling over themselves to get him to run for office.

BTW, another Corzine campaign office just opened. Right on Scotland Road in Orange. It seems that this "parasite" is getting a lot of support in Essex County.

Back to the county exec. It's very nice that he started Save the Mountains. It's a shame that he became a D'Alessio and Shapiro clone when he got power. The Hilltop became just another pair of dollar signs for Ol' Jim.

BTW, what do you think will happen if Treffinger DOES win the seat? An interim will have to be chosen, who will probably be a weak exec anyway. In 2001, when the exec is up again, I'll bet you DiVincenzo or some other Adubato flunkie will get in. End of the Republican era in Essex County!

Face it. Corzine's gonna win the nomination and with any luck will win the seat.

And Comrade Corzine will become a Ted Kennedy clone.

And how horrible would that be? Do you want to know why Kennedy keeps getting re-elected. BECAUSE HE DOES WHAT HE PROMISES TO DO! He has yet to break a campaign promise.

Face it rabid red baiter, you cannot even spell "hypocracy." The illiterate calling the kettle black!

Yes, Corzine is a fortune 500 winner. Yes, he is a man of the people. Yes, he has class and erudition (something our red-baiting losers lack!).

IT WAS JIM TREFFINGER WHO APPOINTED PATRICIA HURT and then nixed her! Jim Treffinger used to be a Democrat or have you forgotten that? He will do anything to get himself elected to the Senate. He will go after the right-to-life fanatics and murderers to get the conservative vote.

Jim Treffinger is no match for Corzine. He does not even have the moral convictions of a Florio. He is a typical Republican prostitute. We have lots of them in Essex Co.

What happened to his promise to do away with County Government! Why do we even need a county government? We shall see what happens after June 6th.
