[NJ Blue Collar]

I live in JC and many of the gang-bangers and thugs carry (illegally, I presume), so I really don't have a problem with other people carrying, as long as they are licensed and go through some sort of qualification test (written and practical).

My biggest beef w/ the GOP in NJ is the sprawl of yuppie McMansions, that hurt the enviornment and destroy natural space. Hard-working Blue Collar types are forced to live further and further from their jobs by the McMansions. That and all the union jobs are leaving the state in favor of Wal-Mart. W/ Schundler in particular, I don't like his big business "I love corporations" philosphy. Like you said, he's a big RW phony.

I was sitting on the parkway in bumper-to-bumper traffic and I saw this bus that says something to the effect of getting rid of parkway tolls and SCHUNDLER in big letters.

I bet a lot of fence-sitters noticed. I think that our party should pre-empt Schundler's crap and if not get rid of the tolls (and raise the gas tax to compensate, or perhaps put a small tax on the purchase of new SUVs) the state should re-vamp the tolls to be like the Turnpike.

Take good ideas away from the gop and leave them with their winger-ness.
