"A bully is someone who screams at teachers and Navy SEALs and has no tact whatsoever."
A bit theatrical don't you think?
Yelled at a "navy seal"? you mean one of the toughest guys on the planet? Were his feelings hurt, did he cry, or did he apologize for his irresponsible behavior?
Did CC 'yell' or was he direct and to the point using a tone that might be interpreted as a 'raised voice" appropriate for the forum acoustics and disturbance.
Did CC yell at a "navy seal" or did he take on a disruptive and irresponsible acting law student who interupted him?
CC did not 'scream' at the teacher.
BTW - our unemployment rate has not changed through his entire "reign" as he gives big tax breaks to Panasonic and Prudential. So he's a bully AND an ineffective leader.
Right, Obama took care of NJ's unemployment rate. That's why your going to vote for him.
CC did not cure Newark or Camden either. Traffic is still heavy in the morning.
glad he gave big tax breaks to large companies to keep them in state and hire residents. Good job there unless you buy into the class warfare strategy of the media proclaimed savior in the whitehouse.
glad he dumped the activist judge who incarcerated an innocent guy falsely charged with a firearm violation.
Glad CC is challenging the unions. He is setting a foundation for dramatic change. unless of course you wish to sacrifice your childrens' future to maintain an archaic system of tenure that values time on the job more than an individual's measured worth.
Teachers can't feel good about that union policy.
Of course who woukldn't want to pay protection to keep their job and then have their hard earned money go to support political positions with which they disagree.
Corzine never yelled at anyone he must be your choice for a comeback, after his trial. JC the detached gov who lied his butt off when it was first announced a truck drove his speeding car off the parkway. JC was about to conduct important state business sitting in on Imus and RU girls BB team. Yep JC is your kind of candidate, polite and corrupt or at least devious. gosh he was slated to be the Treasury secretary, you know the other tax cheat your guy picked. Tim's pretty polite and he never raised his voice.

I have great respect for public servants, but the system was completely abused.

They did't represent the tax payers at all. When you bargain, one party goes low, the other goes high, and they meet in the middle. This didn't happen, FOR YEARS. The unions went high, and the governor said "OK". Nobody was bidding low for the people...until now. And that pisses a lot of people in the public sector off.
I'm sorry, but most people don't mind Christie's "brashness" because it is a small price to pay for having someone that actually REPRESENTS their interests.
There is nothing rhetorical about what I have posted.
If your mother taught you manners, you knew when Christie's response to the vet started out "Look pal", it wasn't going to a good place. If you find uncouth speech from your governor refreshing, that's your right. It doesn't help to attract businesses. Not to mention that Christie killed TV & film subsidies.

Your new argument is that Christie's "rudeness" is keeping businesses from coming to NJ?
That damn Christie's rudeness is causing the deer to keep eating my arborvitae. lol
I'm not even going to argue. I'll just let that one hang out there on it's own.

This has nothing to do with Obama. As a true "free marketeer" and regular listener to Rush Limpballs, you like giving multi-billion dollar companies tax breaks that they really don't need when the economy is in the crapper.
Panasonic received $102.4 million in tax credits to move its headquarters nine miles within New Jersey. Goya Foods picked up $81.9 million in credits to build offices and a warehouse in Jersey City, two miles from its current complex. Prudential Insurance obtained $250.8 million to move a few blocks to a new tower in Newark.

This completely ignores the fact that these companies may very well have moved out of NJ if not for the tax breaks. It doesn't matter if they moved nine inches. Or didn't even move at all.

These companies were looking at sites in other states with more favorable tax codes and operating costs.
If they DID move, you guys would be complaining and blaming Christie for the loss of jobs.
To some people, Christie can't win no matter what he does.

You snuck that in before I finished my response, so I'll +1. .
I tried giving you reps, but it says I can't until I spread them around some more.
