New Jersey Corruption

Senator Menendez in New Jersey will be indicted for corruption in the upcoming weeks. Wow, New Jersey and corruption, that's a new one! Welcome to federal prison Mr. Menendez.

Bernie Madoff will save him a place in the executive dining room at Camp Fluffy.

Maybe they know that lawyer from Fort Lauderdale that stole millions or billions??? Forgot his name. But the good ole Senator was hooked up with a doctor from Florida. Florida always has to get in there. Every time I watch American Greed on TV its like every 3rd show is spotlighting someone in Florida.

Here, in Illinois we are batting at a .500 clip. 4 of our last 8 governors wound up in prison

For a fascinating, eye-opening expose of the corruption involved when casinos first came to Atlantic City, read "The Boardwalk Jungle" by Ovid Demaris.

You think that's bad? Senator Leland Yee is under indictment for Gunrunning and Racketeering and still got hundreds of thousands of votes. And he was a huge anti gun proponent!
He was purchasing guns from a terrorist organization then selling them in the states. They included automatic weapons as well as shoulder fired RPGs, and the morons of this state still voted for him after the details came out... months in advance. He got near 10% of the vote, in the primary, AFTER he had dropped out!

Not only is corruption rampant in my state, so is idiocy.

That seems true everywhere. Most of the voters reading about corruption don't want to stamp it out, they just want to get in on some of it.

New Jersey. Atlantic City, the streets of Camden, Passaic County, the west side with world PGA headquarters and though-bred horse farms, the south-Wildwood and the north, multi million dollar homes in Alpine and Cloister and Franklin Lakes. Edgewater with 'Yo-Han' Plaza and all those great diners and eateries. Oh, let's not forget about Bloomfield Avenue and all those bodegas where one can find numerous detectives and politicians walking out with a little more than a sandwich in those paper bags.

And a tad bit of corruption:

Term limits.
No professional lifetime politicians.
Lifetime politicians accrue power.
Power corrupts.

Oh Lord, If I only had time to write a short book on what I seen on Bloomfield Avenue..................................
