Not Backing Down

" I want a week from tomorrow the Republican Party hopes to regain control of the governor's mentions in both New Jersey and Virginia."

" And the race in New Jersey has gotten ugly in recent weeks thanks to the very desperate attack ads."

" Police by the democratic incumbent governor Jon Corzine my next guess he's not backing down he continues to fight to the finish line. Joined now by the Republican candidate for governor in the state."

" in New Jersey -- the highest taxes higher -- New York yes highest taxes in America Chris Cristi is with -- the highest in America -- tax -- in America explained. Well listen new Jersey's combination of income tax sales tax business tax and property taxes -- makes our citizens the highest tax burden citizens and no matter what because --"

" Michael Moore by the Taipei in New York when all said and done sales income property county stayed. City about 60%. You're out there yes oh yes sixty episode 60% of people's income and -- Jersey goes the tax absolutely well that's redistribution of wealth. What did you think when the governor comes out of this -- you throwing your weight around the idea of vicious personal attack seemed to take a good humor but."

" This -- because it's silly it's beneath the office he holds. And the worst part of it is -- wishing to step up and admit I mean he admit that that's what they were try to do but the continued -- oh no that's not what we met. On the fact of the matter is you know I struggled with -- for good number years at a much oh by the way any baseball so a lot of other New Jersey incident you know. Fact readily offers the governor the governor never say when I was US attorney put all those folks in jail for seven years that he never expressed any concern about my weight that only when I was gonna run against that they."

" Right now that this is centrist think of the Philly enquirer came out today and they quoted Christie Todd Whitman the former governor of New Jersey. Actually said. That quote the Corzine campaigned as a third party candidate this rates is Baghdad. OK is urging people Corzine. They're urging people to support Chris staggered because by doing so they figure those gonna split the votes that would otherwise go to you because. Corzine's approval rating is so well explain."

" Well listen I think that's a government fatality evidence that that's what's going on. I think Chris -- you really think she can be elected governor he's not going to be but I think he doesn't take effect of matters this Chris jacket and John Corcoran is not a week's worth of difference between them. Governor Corzine's raise taxes nine billion dollars over four years Chris that it has a play -- 9000000009. Billion over four years -- the state level. They could -- has a plan now to raise taxes four billion dollars if he's elected so. I think what's gonna happen ultimately is people who want higher taxes more -- they have two candidates to choose from."

" I'd say in the state managers have look at -- some of the numbers. What when Jon Corzine became governor the unemployment rate was -- four point 8% yes. And now what's that right -- points at nine point 89 point eight associates with a neck and right there at the national average up. And the most high the high reached in -- in 33 years yes -- higher than New York higher than Connecticut higher than surrounding states Pennsylvania and Delaware. Why he's with us."

" Because our tax system is so out of line with the rest of the region and much of the rest of the country you are top income tax rate New Jersey their -- small businesses as well. Ten and three quarter percent if you go over to Pennsylvania the top British 3%. All right Barack Obama's been there campaigning for the incumbent Jon Corzine what a couple times management of the state Brady's -- under age and it's coming back on Sunday final last minute. Push the polls are pretty tight it's a very blue state that you what it listen now leading in most polls -- okay. What do you make of the fact that Barack Obama on now. Is willing to support you but they seem to have distanced themselves from the Virginia race we'll listen I think you're you're trying to make sure they get a win here. And you know the people New -- are going to be fooled. President Obama commit on Sunday he'll campaign -- Jon -- but you know what. Air force was gonna take often leave and go back to Washington he's not gonna it is the end we're going to be stuck with Jon Corzine. So people pitchers are not going to be -- people the Jersey like the president United States are not going to be fooled by this because. We're going to be stuck with Jon Corzine you think this isn't part one of these races that is a little bit of a referendum on on the president. I have to face what I really think this is a referendum on Jon Corzine his failed policies. I think the president may come to own some of that if he continues to come back to New Jersey but John corsets -- so what's failure. So much failure that the people who Jersey think what a kick out. -- attacks suspend live this what happens to a tax and spend too liberal state no way that's fair I think it is right now yes well most this is. This to me was priceless -- governor as unemployment goes from four point 8% to nine point 8% under his -- up five points -- crash. Actually set out to what his cabinet officials as deputy chief of staff deputy chief of staff come up more than event or -- it through that showed job creation. I know may be a stretch please be creative this -- say both -- fit this. We feel like -- because it's it's what little since it just typical Corzine administration forget about the truth the truth is that appointments nearly doubled under his watch. What he's trying to -- Canada people come up with something so maybe they did save you make it out save me from myself what isn't so but basically a lie and is that legal. Well listen I think -- I think the city New Jersey audio yet I think it probably is legal but doesn't mean it's right. All right as governor no one of the big debates in the Republican Party now is whether or not it's gonna be a party of Reagan and conservatism. Or those that want a more moderate voice. As governor then your prosecutors say tough on crime -- you running this campaign on fiscal responsibility you know. Are there any issues where you are quote moderate to left as a Republican. Well listen I favor some of the gun control measures we have a New Jersey bad idea was that we can we have a densely populated state. And there's a big hand -- problem in New Jersey now. I don't support all the things that the governor support -- but I think I'm going -- going -- from a law enforcement perspective -- police officers were killed. We have an illegal drug problem in New Jersey should every sit at -- every citizen in your state be allowed to if yet a licensed. Weapon if they want. In New Jersey a soccer have to -- white whose of the democratic legislature we have. There's no way the country things listen. The end of the day what I support our common sense laws that will allow people to protect themselves but are also very concerned about the safety of our police officers on the streets. Very concerned and want to make sure that we don't have an abundance of guns out there but. This and the issues in this race -- our taxes and jobs. And spending did not that stupid and it's elicit New Jersey has more than double the step in the last eight years. We've raised taxes a 110 times in the last eight years we need to turn this around -- we're gonna become appropriate. Second -- the entire northeast is and in jeopardy of having. Mass portion of the population leave because people can't afford publicity 450000. People left New Jersey the last eight years net people are voting with your feet all right. Good luck in one week -- tomorrow -- leave its mark felt I -- like you anti an articulate Greta van."
