You know Christie is on the right track if he has the panties of the leftist whiners crying all over the blogs.

Precisely.

He has called out the unions, the teachers' union specifically, and his own party. I love that he is willing to call it as he sees it sans the potential reprecussion on his career. He not only talks the talk but walks the walk. Sure wish my state Governor did the same.

I'm not a construction contractor, I never said "construction". I am an HR consultant contractor. I don't need you to use smaller words, I just need you to spell properly and use correct English; this seems to be a challenge for you, though.

Now if you want to keep spending money you don't have maybe you should move to California. His approval rating continues to rise so the people of your state like what he's doing, not all of them seem to be as ignorant as you are. Once he's done the state will be in a better position and you can elect someone else but until then you're stuck with him so deal with it.
His approval rate doesn't "rise", it is sinking. By the time he's done our state's homeowners will have lost value in our homes and will continue to have outrageously high property taxes, as he is trying to push off everything from the state onto the local municipalities. All he does is blame and point his finger. He's not popular in NJ and he's a big fat blowhard.

And you have no place to talk about NJ, you know nothing - not a damn thing - about this state. You should be more worried about your hillbilly state and the corruption that's right under your nose.

You don't have to live near NJ, the fact is that the money we pay to the Federal government is redistributed to hillbillies in red states like yours. I don't expect you to understand that, it's clear you're ignorant about how things work anyway.

As for the tunnel, nobody will build it, and the state is giving up $6 billion to save a couple billion, but he IS issuing bonds for $2 billion to widen roads that don't need widening. This is the kind of stupid f'ing moron that stupid f'ing morons like you are in love with.

He didn't call out (and isn't calling out) any unions OTHER than the teacher's union. He backed off the police and fire unions. He's just posturing and the teacher's union was the easiest target. He sure as heck isn't getting involved with the Longshoremen who stopped working down in Camden.

But what would you or any othere non-New Jerseyan know about any of that??? The National Republican party needs a hero and the best they can do is an obese liar that people know little about who they can lie about.

As I said earlier, if you like him, you can keep him, but you have to feed him and clean up his poop.

The tolerance of the left never ceases to amaze me. Who cares how much the guy weighs or what he eats? Who cares if someone made a typo. Only an ingoramus incapable of forming a cohesive argument would feel the need to lecture about proper spelling and typing.

Christie is awesome and I wish that he was the governor of Illinois, an equally corrupt state. Sure, cuts will hurt temporarily until people adjust to the fact that you can't continue to spend money you just. don't. have. You should be THANKING Christie for caring enough to make these difficult decisions on your ungrateful behalf.

Only 8 months in he has lost $400 million for our state and is poised to give up BILLIONS more. It's put up or shut up time for him, already. He is very unpopular in NJ already, even though it's supposed to be the "honeymoon" period. If another election were held anytime from tomorrow on he'd lose.


If you love him, you can keep him in MO. But you have to feed him. A lot. he'll like MO - he'll be like, "Show me where to get BBQ, show me where to get ice cream, show me the all-I-can-eat buffet, show me all the food places so I can stuff my fat gullet, and as payment I will tickle your ears with all the things you teabaggers love to hear."

How can you lose it if you never got it in the first place?
If you have to rely on the Federal dole to run your state, your not doing a very good job as a State elected official.

Why give the Federal Government more control over what States can and can't do? No State should be beholding to the Federal Government. NONE!
They are their own Sovereign Nations, with common ground, not a mommy and certainly not a bank.

These are the same fools who consider the elimination of a tax cut a "handout". How you can hand something out that you never had?

Overall I'm proud of NJ, things are actually starting to look up and any politician who angers the leftist like their new governor does is good in my book.

Welcome to logic 101 with Liberals, we can't keep him because he's not our governor... he's YOUR governor because the people of your state elected him, it's not our fault you can't see that what he's doing might be tough but it's what needs to be done.

Because it is OWED to us. Like a paycheck. When you work and then your employer doesn't give you a paycheck, you LOSE that paycheck. Now, if you lose it because you forget to cash the check and it expires, then you LOST that money. The $400 Million was owed to us, it was there for the taking, it was our money to begin with (as much Fed. money is).

We have to take what we can get BACK from the Fed. government because Red State Republicans who have dominated Congress have the nation set up so that all the money New Jersey pays in Federal taxes gets redistributed to to their poor, ignorant, backwards states, like those in the South.

NJ is OWED so much money from the Fed gov't that whenever we can get some BACK it helps even things out. Our other governors recognized this and didn't miss out on such opportunities. This Fat Tub O'Lard thinks it's all "Obama's money" and doesn't want it because of that reason. He is a freaking Retard and a fat Tub of crap who cares nothing about NJ.

Who's giving the Federal gov't control? I'm talking about taking money BACK from them. And just so you know, the United States of America is a sovereign nation; every state in that UNION is subject to the UNION. That's something that can't seem to get through the thick ignorant skulls of southern anti-American rebels.
