Gee, I must have missed your posts. You know, I wait all day for you to post because I'm very eager to respond to your questions.
I blame Christie for taking New Jersey down the same road of failed trickle down economics that put this nation into another Great Depression. If Christie and you can't figure out by now that making the rich richer doesn't work, doesn't create jobs, doesn't increase anything but poverty and the national debt, then there really is no explaining it to you, is there?

So recently, they've been "awash" in bipartisanship. What a coincidence with Christie up for reelection. But some of us remember what Christie is like AFTER election. Ask Sweeney about the Christie's face punching. Ask the NJEA about Christie's face punching -- AFTER Christie wrote them such a nice letter while running for governor, promising not to do everything he wound up doing! Ask poor kids who have their education and school meal programs cut about Christie's face punching. Ask seniors and disabled about Christie's face punching cuts to property tax relief, Medicare and Medicaid.

And all this while Christie gives away BILLIONS in tax incentives to record profit earning corporations like Prudential, Honeywell, and dozens more and throws away BILLIONS more on ridiculous projects like Revel Casino, which is lurching toward bankruptcy, and that hideous mess in the Meadowlands, XANADU.
Chris Christie is a typical trickle down clown and that's why I criticize him. The same type of trickle down clown as George W Bush that created this mess we're in.

You need to brush up on reading comprehension. I said give credit where it's due and place blame where it belongs. Simple. Or should I say, simple for some?

I don't do challenges but you can start by reading the links above. And the typical canard of asking an ordinary citizen how they'd govern isn't going to fly either. I'm not governor. If I was governor I wouldn't play reverse Robin Hood like Chris Christie under the guise of creating jobs while New Jersey still languishes with unemployment rates well above 9%.

You're just making up BS now. Where are my comments about Christie's weight? There is plenty to criticize regarding Chris Christie without ever mentioning his all too obvious morbid obesity problem.
Back to your "challenge" LOL:

Here's a little light reading on the corrupt governor you and the other fan boys and girls are so enamored of. THESE are some of the mistakes and outright corruption that are among the reasons I criticize this incompetent failure who is leading New Jersey down an economic path to failure.
Corruption, incompetence and arrogance are Chris Christie's defining characteristics.
Let me know when you've finished reading these examples. There are many more. And with Chris Christie as governor, you, and unfortunately the state of New Jersey, can be sure there will be many more to come.
