How many NJ natives, now living out of state

[GP6971]

are following this? Me, I'm loving it. Going to rub it in to my cousins still there. Of course, being repukes, they'll just offer up excuses.

[SummerSnow]

1. Hubby is from Jersey and he cant stand Christie

[GP6971]

2. My cousins still in Jersey love him

Even though their homes and cars got wiped out in Sandy and they still haven't seen any aid. I say WHY??????

[rocktivity]

3. This current Jersey girl is counting the minutes until the next Rachel Maddow show

and hopes that Christie-Gate will become more fun than a barrel of Bon Jovi concerts!

5. Me too! n/t

[pangaia]

4. Former Teaneck-ite here....

Fort Lee side is all too familiar....
I even lived there when Palisades Amusement Park was still around !!!

[GP6971]

6. Me too!!!

Went there a couple times a year. Grew up in Ridgewood

[pangaia]

15. We played each other in football.

"Cheer, cheer for old Teaneck High,
You bring the whiskey, I'll bring the rye.
Send the freshman out for gin,
And don't let single sophomore in.
We never stagger, we never fall,
We sober up on wood alcohol.
When we fight we fight like HELL!,
For the glory of Teaneck High.
FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT..."

(Sung to the tune of the Notre Dame fight song)

Every H S probably had the same songs.

Wish I could remember what I am supposed to do tomorrow as well as that....

[GP6971]

16. We sure did

Always tough games......65 through 68

[pangaia]

22. 58-61 for me--a little ahead of you..

[The empressof all]

12. Best French Fries in the whole world at Palisades...

I have never found another like them....and it's been close to 50 years of trying

[pangaia]

14. Oh MAN!! oopps WOMAN!! ?

I had forgotten. I can smell them.. now..
The only ride I ever threw up on was there- the Tilt-A-Whirl !!
Hot dogs....
Sorry about that...

As an aside, after I read Doris Kerns Goodwin's "Wain Until Next Year,"
I could smell the pedestrian tunnel between the parking lot and the sand at Jones Beach!

[GP6971]

17. I know the general contractor that dismantled

Palisades Park. Boy was I pissed when I found that out!!!!!! Nice guy though.

[GP6971]

18. So true. n/t

[Berlum]

7. This outrageous abuse of power has Repuke written all over it

It is a typical expression of degenerate Republicon "values" -- as we have seen all to often.

Anti-Christie doubling down on the lies is also standard Repulicon OCCULTIST strategy.

IOKIYAR, of course. the Repubbie fanbois lap this lying crap right up -- they relish it.

[LiberalEsto]

8. Me, for one

I'm a former NJ newspaper reporter and I think this is hilarious.

[winter is coming]

9. My favorite moment thus far:

The mayor of Fort Lee, on Chris Hayes' show, saying that Wildstein needs a good ass-kicking.

[Cha]

13. "There I said it"! Now what New Jerseyian wouldn't

Like that?!

[GP6971]

19. He did say it very professionally.

I wonder if he has contacts that can do it for him. I doubt it.......he seemed just too down to earth and honest for something like that.

[tabbycat31]

10. Jersey girl (and voter) in NC and following this

My permanent address is in NJ and I vote there.

[The empressof all]

11. I was totally frustrated earlier in the week

My NJ relatives hadn't heard word one about this and they watch the local news. I asked if it was getting a lot of air time and my sister hadn't heard a word. I think she probably voted for that asshole but at least has the common sense not to tell me the truth...

I haven't called her today to find out what she thinks of him now...

There are many that I know living there who will just consider this hard ball politics, stick their fingers in their ears and vote the Republican ticket no matter who runs.... Idiots.

[FarCenter]

20. According to United Van Lines, lots more people move out from NJ than into NJ

It's mostly due to taxes.

There are a large number of people who spend 183 or more days elsewhere each year for tax purposes.

[GP6971]

25. I saw that study also

As well as the one from Atlas Van Lines

[Bjorn Against]

21. I have only spent a couple hours in Jersey in my entire lifetime...

But I am still watching this very closely because it is a fascinating story.

[GP6971]

27. It is a great political story

What's great about it is that has legs.....like a centipede

[SirRevolutionary]

23. Glued to MSNBC

I'm loving it too. Moved to VA from NJ a few years ago, and I'm going to harp on about this to my cousins, aunts and uncles until I'm blue in the face.

[a la izquierda]

24. I have been.

My hubby and I grew up there and most of our families still live there, and are Republicans

[RKP5637]

26. Gone from NJ. n/t
