The Democratic controlled legislature in New Jersey, which currently recognizes same-sex couples in civil unions, is under pressure to pass a bill authorizing gay marriage before Gov. Jon Corzine ends his term in mid-January. Republican Chris Christie, opposes gay marriages. I hope you report on what promises to be a battle royale in coming weeks.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788931352232874850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-30417500009129990462009-11-07T02:38:52.044-05:002009-11-07T02:38:52.044-05:00Republican Victories mean the GOP ( grand old part...Republican Victories mean the GOP ( grand old party) is a transcendent party.mdealshttp://www.mdeals.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-26728326584067629182009-11-06T10:20:46.288-05:002009-11-06T10:20:46.288-05:00Robert, great news!

He may look intimidating but he is basically a shy and retiring type!<br /><br />The only time he gets brave and puts his ears down and yowls and hisses is when he's safely ensconced on top of a desk or couch and That Dog comes in and barks at him. If he has the upper hand, he will act brave!Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-59700852254153126032009-11-05T12:19:43.137-05:002009-11-05T12:19:43.137-05:00OK.

So we do need more job creation and for people get back their confidence about the future. Obama has an uphill battle on that because if he decides to try another stimulus package of any kind, he'll meet some stiff opposition on both sides because of the runaway deficit. That and if he sends more troops to Afghanistan, will be bad news for him.<br /><br />Fran, that's exactly what I've been doing all summer, every weekend!

I had no idea things were so tough there. It's little wonder Corzine was the victim of the "throw the bums out" mentality.<br /><br />At some point very soon, the recession will cease to be "Bush's recession" and will rightfully become "Obama's recession." The election was a year ago and people have been patient but Americans are hurting and they want results.<br /><br />If the Obama administration doesn't start creating jobs -- good paying American jobs with health benefits and retirement, I think and I believe, Obama's going to have a very difficult time making his case to the voters why they should reward him with four more years as president.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788931352232874850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-5628550603950058432009-11-04T18:53:17.202-05:002009-11-04T18:53:17.202-05:00Glad you posted this because I am of the opinion t...Glad you posted this because I am of the opinion that way too much chest pounding regards this is going on on the right.<br /><br />I hope you don't mind if I quote you on my blog.jadedjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16569736113526368917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-84166744888880394372009-11-04T14:58:53.269-05:002009-11-04T14:58:53.269-05:00If the GOP is now transcendent, does that mean the...If the GOP is now transcendent, does that mean they are no longer off the hook or what up?<br /><br />I don't need to tell you Baxter, than any outcome is good for the Republicans.

Sad though. <br /><br />I agree this has nothing to do with the President, no matter what the pundits would like to say.. it is so ignorant they seem to think it is all about him.. did they do this to Bush.. I really don't remember, because I tended to ignore things then...lol <br /><br />Sorry, for your fate with Christie, but you will survive.. I made it through Baby Blunt and he was a terrible nightmare.. hopefully you will fare better since you have a good Congress behind him, we had a Republican Congress too.. that was what hurt us so badly.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16344077085109588258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-71546687337134466962009-11-04T10:42:10.788-05:002009-11-04T10:42:10.788-05:00Well we can cry in each other's beer I guess. ...Well we can cry in each other's beer I guess.
