Default Political mud-slinging in NJ

I'm absolutely disgusted with the state I live in. The race for senator between Tom Kean and Bob Menendez is just a mud-slinging event, they don't give any insight to what they'd like to accomplish and only air their opponents dirty laundry. Why should I vote for either of you? They are soo crooked I don't think you can elect 1 without the other or they'll fall over.

Property taxes are sky high in NJ, Income taxes are high, sales tax just rose as well as taxing things like gym memberships...WTF?

I need to find a better place to live, any suggestions?

More emphasis on the border and how the other person voted against this and that to prevent/allow illegals over h:

Bob Menendez ia under federal investigation, that's the only thing I know about him. Tom Kean has a speech impediment and his special interests groups are under investigation, sounds like voting is choosing the lesser of 2 evils.

They say voting is to make a choice, but what if there is no choice?

My proposal for ppl is for all legal voters to register to vote, then noone vote...so they see we are here and listening and we are not interested in their candidates
