The Sorry NJ GOP

British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli once said the purpose of the opposition is to oppose. So why doesn't the New Jersey Republican party oppose more effectively and often? The reality is that elected Republicans in the state legislature are a part of the establishment that enjoys the perks of public office that they and the Democrats put in place over the years.

A lot of what he says isn't wrong.

I always thought the NJ GOP was a sorry bunch. I'm just glad that someone other than a dem noticed.
