The Arrogance of Horsepower

New Jersey pols unsafe at any speed. Giuliani, the anti-Reagan? Religious choices. Plus more.

(Page 7 of 13)

p>Just minutes after apologizing for setting a bad example, and promising to set a better example in the future, Corzine departed the hospital and was clocked doing 15 MPH over the speed limit on his way home! You are absolutely right about the trooper who caused the first accident, but how about laying some blame on an arrogant governor who could stop those troopers with a single word, but chooses to B. S. the public instead. br> -- Jim Kolocotrones /p> p> I think we should look to the Guv on this one. Do you really think that he was not setting there saying hurry up I am going to be late? Also he was NOT wearing his seat belt so his injuries were a given. I do agree about one thing, tickets and big fines should be passed out on this to both the trooper and governor. Anyone that does not wear a seat belt is an idiot, but then he is a Democrat and they all know what is good for me and don't practice what they preach. br> -- Elaine Kyle /p>

The flow of Liberal Elitist hypocrisy is never ending. Several years ago when Jon Corzine was in the Senate, he sponsored a bill, along with Rep. Gary Ackerman (D, NY) in the House, that would force every state to ban the use of handheld cell phones while driving. If a state failed to enforce the proposed ban, it would lose some federal highway funds.

The arrogance of these two, from New York and New Jersey (one of whom has chauffeurs), is remarkable. Jon Corzine would use the power of the Federal government to prevent a regular guy on a lonely stretch of road in Montana from calling home to say he will be late for dinner.

p>Mr. Peters rightly focuses on the trooper, but Jon Corzine is the chief law enforcement officer in the State of New Jersey, and he should be criminally charged as well. br> -- Tom Dykers br> Goochland, Virginia (a.k.a. Flyover Country) /p>
