To hear Democrats tell it, Mitt Romney woke up on Saturday morning and announced Charles Darwin (on acid) as his running mate. Obama surrogates’ narratives were uniform and sadly predictable: “Paul Ryan is a radical,” they said, who wants to take away your grandmother’s social security check… if he doesn’t push her off of a cliff first. Some went so far as to suggest that | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted from SaveJersey.com He was, then we weren’t sure (again) as Mitt finalized his VP pick. But now that Mitt Romney has confirmed the great Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) as his vice presidential running mate, Save Jersey has confirmed with a source close to Governor Chris Christie that he WILL, in fact, deliver the keynote address in Tampa Bay. A formal | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com I still don’t think it’s going to happen, Save Jerseyans. I’m not even sure that I’d want it to happen. But history often makes the man, and this could be Chris Christie’s time. All indicators (published and whispered) suggest he’s at least in the “final four” of veepstakes contenders; possibly better than that because I firmly believe Tim Pawlenty’s name | Read More »
By Charles Measley | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com I enjoy signing up to Democrat e-mail newsletters, Save Jerseyans; it gives you perspective as to what their upcoming attacks and extremist proposals will look like. Yesterday morning, Barack Obama’s New Jersey campaign sent out an e-mail saying that Gov. Chris Christie is on Romney’s short list for VP (I hope he is!) and that our Governor’s name has recently | Read More »
Of all the absolutely shameless, crappy and downright evil affronts to democracy perpetrated by Obama/Holder & Co. covered at SaveJersey.com over the last four years, I think this latest atrocity truly takes the partisan cake. I’m pissed, Save Jerseyans. It is obvious? I really hope so. And over what, you ask? A lawsuit filed by the Obama campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party back in | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com On April 20, 2010, a massive explosion at BP’s “Deepwater Horizon” site killed 11 men and injured 17 others in the Gulf of Mexico. What followed was the largest accidental marine oil spill in world history, giving rise to profound ecological challenges and an economic disaster for the Gulf States’ already fragile economy. Objectively bad, bad stuff. But notwithstanding | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Almost as obnoxious as liberal attempts to turn a tragedy into a political football are the concerted efforts to blame Batman himself for inciting violence. Talk about “passing the buck,” Save Jerseyans! It’s a little ironic, too, because Batman voluntarily takes the fall for District Attorney Harvey Dent’s death in the “Dark Knight” movies’ universe. Why? Because before Dent lost his mind | Read More »
Excited NASA scientists watch in awe as the Moon Landing unfolds on July 20, 1969. By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com We’re all focused on the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado this morning, Save Jerseyans. Rightly so. 12 Americans are dead (including a 6-year old) and 50 more are injured after a 24-year old man allegedly opened fire in a crowded Dark Knight Rises midnight | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) didn’t get the veep nod yesterday in Cincinnati, Save Jerseyans. That doesn’t mean it still isn’t very likely to happen sometime soon. One prominent Republican politician is pretty sure that Portman will emerge as Mitt Romney’s pick. You might’ve heard of him? A reliable source close to Governor Chris Christie tells Save Jersey | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Sometimes you can’t make this stuff up, Save Jerseyans. It’s been reported that President Obama’s supporters plan to use the Batman villain “Bane” from this summer’s new movie, The Dark Knight Rises, to attack Governor Mitt Romney. You know, because Mitt used to work at “Bain” Capital. The lack of originality from these folks is stunning, isn’t it? I | Read More »
By Dale Glading | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com The day that George W. Bush decided to keep Dick Cheney on his ticket for a second term is the day that Barack Obama became the odds-on favorite to win the White House in 2008. Don’t believe me? Consider the following… Dick Cheney, a man whom I admire and a person with one of the most extensive public service | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com “Nobody knows nuthin’” to paraphrase Peter Clemenza from Godfather: Part I, Save Jerseyans But all indicators suggest Mitt Romney’s vice presidential running mate announcement is close. Very close. We just don’t know how close (three days versus three weeks). Or who it will be. A little harmless speculation to keep your brain turning? Exhibit A: U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), who | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com President Obama will announce his support for a one year extension of the Bush tax cuts this morning… but only for those earning less than $250,000. Big whoop. Think about it, Save Jerseyans: The “rich” sure ain’t what they used to be. Consider a pair of spouses who own a family business and jointly file as earning $250,000 in | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Is there something in the water up there? Governor Chris Christie may’ve accrued 5M+ YouTube views, Save Jerseyans, but you can’t truly be considered a modern American pop culture icon until you’re featured on TMZ.com. Congrats, Big Guy… you’ve arrived! Allegedly, he went toe-to-toe with a man on the [in]famous Seaside Heights Boardwalk last night and put the MTV ‘Jersey | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com The ObamaCare backstory gets worse all the time, Save Jerseyans. We can never really know what happened in chambers. That said, emerging anonymous accounts seem to comport with what we can plainly observe about this repugnant capitulation to unconstitutional, unrestrained big government by Chief Justice John Roberts. It was supremely political. Be assured, I’m not leveling this charge simply | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Thanks to Chief Justice Roberts’s ObamaCare decision, Save Jerseyans, it may no longer matter how broadly the Commerce Clause is construed by jurists, scholars and legislators. As of last Thursday, the U.S. Congress can regulate interstate commerce by imposing “taxes” on both acts and omissions via the suddenly-unrestrained federal taxing power. The real difference in layman’s terms? Until now, | Read More »
Cross-Posted From Brian McGovern at SaveJersey.com, New Jersey’s #1 Conservative Website. Conservatives are understandably upset by what happened yesterday at the Supreme Court. Conventional wisdom was that the 5-4 decision would fall on the shoulders of Justice Kennedy and that he would likely side with the more conservative members of the court to strike down ObamaCare’s individual mandate as unconstitutional. Well, most of that was correct. | Read More »

By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Mother’s Day is an opportunity to shower the women who gave us birth with candies, flowers, presents and affection. They deserve it! God knows mine does for putting up with ME, Save Jerseyans… But in a larger sense, where would our society, or an society for that matter, be without strong matriarchal figures to hold families together? After all, | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Great news! This morning, Governor Chris Christie issued what he described as a “prudent” veto of New Jersey’s pending health care “exchange” legislation. You can read the legislation’s Assembly text, A2171 (titled “S1319″ in the Senate) right here. Governor Christie’s veto message can be found here. As I said back on April 19th, Save Jerseyans, “It’s always a bad sign when a | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Pre-Christie New Jersey, to be specific. How do I mean? France is just the latest spot on the map where “rich” folks are responding to socialist economic policies with their feet. Even before it became official that French socialist Francois Hollande would win the final stage of yesterday’s French presidential election, defeating centre-right incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy, the specter | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com The late great Chuck Colson passed away last month at the age of 80. He was best known for two inextricable acts: (1) having been indicted and convicted for conspiring to cover up the Watergate break-in, and (2) helping pioneer the contemporary evangelical movement in America. Governor, Pastor, and now “spiritual advisor” Jim McGreevey is attempting to turn over a new | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Here’s what you need to know about today’s new jobs report, Save Jerseyans: The U.S. economy added only 115,000 jobs in April. That’s down from 154,000+ in March 2012. Both statistics objectively stink. Depending on whom you ask, and as I’ve communicated to you before, the U.S. economy requires anywhere between 90,000 and 150,000 new jobs per month just to keep | Read More »
By Matt Rooney | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Ever on the move, New Jersey’s favorite conservative governor will travel to Washington, D.C. tonight to address America’s leading libertarian think tank. Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) is slated to deliver the keynote address for the Cato Institute’s Milton “Friedman Prize Ceremony” at the Washington Hilton beginning at 7:00 p.m. The award’s 2012 recipient, dissident Chinese economist Mao Yushi, is a vocal critic of China’s | Read More »
By Brian McGovern | Cross-posted at SaveJersey.com Everyone knows that to become President of the United States a candidate needs to collect 270 electoral votes, this is the lowest majority you can have to take the White House. So what happens if no one gets there. Or worse, what happens if both candidates get exactly 269 electoral votes? And what is the likelihood of that | Read More »
