Did you guys see this story yet? This is hilarious:

Second Christie Pal Resigns In Political 'Revenge' Traffic Jam Scandal

Did Christie retaliate against the Dem mayor of Fort Lee for refusing to endorse him, by ordering the closing of the GWB?

I guess we'll find out. The NJ DA is issuing subpoenas...

Of course he did. In true Progressive fashion, he used his power to punish his enemies.

So do you just label everyone you disagree with as Progressive?

Even a GOP governor that is favored in a race for the 2016 presidential election?

I would not label that as a Conservative live & let live move.

Progressive... Yes.

Christie is denying a WSJ report that he called NY Gov Andrew Coumo and asked him to stop the investigation from the NY side of the Port Authority:

Christie on Cuomo Port Authority call: 'Categorically false' | NJ.com

Anytime a pol says something is "categorically false"... you KNOW its true!

This gonna be fun, watching this play out. Christie kind of made an ass out of himself last year, screwing over his party's presidential candidate. I bet there are a lot of Republicans, especially potential rival candidates, rooting against him.

Progressivism is a general political philosophy based on the Idea of Progress that asserts that advances in science, technology, economic development, and social organization, can improve the human condition.
Yeah, it's kind of hard to not be a progressive when using technology that came about after 2,000 years of progress made from high tech industrial processes...instead of banging rocks togethor. That we have progressed out of legal traditions keeping women, minorities, and the poor from being part of the political process. That we progressed out of children working in dangerous conditions. That we have progressed medically out of dying of simple infections and broken bones. That we have progressed out of education, safe food/water, and safe housing is only for those with money.

If these are terrible, it's your decision I guess. Wage a war with those progressive conservatives in name only in order to get them out. Go to opposing the progress of the human race as it has been moving for the last couple thousand years.

It is your choice, and be proud of standing up for your beliefs.

OMG, I can't imagine the GWB ever being closed, how long did that disaster last?

Progressive control and micro managing with the threat of punishment, is the total opposite of individual freedom. The very fundamentals this nation was born upon.

Progressive policy, is a cancer to the US Constitution. They call it compromise.

I kinda glanced at the story. I don't know what happened, but it is just not believable to me that an elected US governor of a state would be so pathetically petty in such an obvious manner.
