Dems Invade GOP Primary

In case you haven't read the New York Times lately, here's what you missed:

"Allies of New Jersey's Democratic governor, Jon S. Corzine, are
so worried about his re-election prospects that they are going to start
spending and advertising heavily - in the Republican primary. ...
Mr. Corzine's allies plan to attack the Republican they consider more
formidable, former federal prosecutor Christopher J. Christie, in an
attempt to knock him out in the June primary, according to people
briefed on the matter."


The article makes clear that Jon Corzine is afraid of his record and afraid of a candidate like Chris who has a plan to cut taxes, slash wasteful spending and make New Jersey a place where opportunity thrives. The only option Corzine has is to attack because he has nothing else to stand on:

"It is unclear how much Democrats will spend attacking Mr. Christie
in the primary. There are no limits on how much donors can give
the Democratic Governors Association, and it is free to take
money from all comers, including corporations and unions...
It also received $100,000 from Mr. Corzine himself..."

For hard-working taxpayers all over the state, the message is clear: Governor Corzine and the Democrats will spend a fortune because they are afraid to face Chris Christie in November. Chris Christie has a solid, conservative plan to get New Jersey working again; he will cut taxes across the board for all New Jerseyans while budgeting responsibly and eliminating wasteful and inappropriate spending. As even the Times notes:

"Mr. Christie has based his campaign almost entirely on his
credentials as a corruption fighter, having obtained convictions
of some 130 New Jersey politicians and public employees, and
promises to bring the same forceful leadership to tackling the state's
fiscal problems."

For a long time now, New Jerseyans have been worried about the direction of our state. We are facing the highest tax burden in the country, our unemployment rate is 8.3% (and growing) and we actually repel business growth and job creation because of the anti-competitive policies in place. Instead of proposing solutions, Jon Corzine, DC Democrats and others have teamed up to attack the one candidate in the race who has real, conservative answers to our state's fiscal debacle.

Don't be fooled! Join the Christie team. Click here now!
