Hail to the bully.

Chris Christie will win the New Jersey governor's race comfortably tomorrow. Why? Because people in New Jersey, like the rest of the country, value perception over reality.

I don't live in New Jersey, but I really need someone who supports the good governor to tell me what he has done for that state that earns him rock star status. (Sorry Shaq. Stick to dunking basketballs. You don't know  anything about politics.)I know he is good at bullying people, (he would get Richie Incognito's vote)but can he really govern?

I mean the facts tell me that he hasn't been all that.

Here is what Catherine Haig writes:

"Republican Chris Christie, current Gov of NJ, will be throwing his big pants into the 3 ring circus that promises to be another fiasco in the ruining of America – the 2016 race for the White House.

But be aware, the people in NJ were LIED TO BY THEN ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NJ, CHRIS CHRISTIE who became NJ Gov. on a list of lies like no other candidate before him.

Talk about corruption – Chris Christie embodies “THE BIG BULLY” Theory as if he wrote the theory himself.

These are what Chris Christie promised NJ: He promised not to raise taxes or allow property taxes to go over a 2% cap however it was a SOFT CAP which allowed Municipalities to skirt the percent and ours went up to 8% giving us a whopping $6000 dollars a year to pay for what exactly? We don’t have kids, we are gay, we have two dogs and a house that is valued $65 thousand dollars lower than what we paid for and now we have to pay $6000 a year in property taxes?

How is that not raising taxes, GOV Christie?
 
....New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie largely avoided factual claims in a Republican convention keynote address that was heavy on generalities, opinion and platitudes. The pugnacious former prosecutor exaggerated a bit, though, when he bragged about his accomplishments as governor, and he repeated the common but false claim that the president’s health care law interferes with the doctor-patient relationship.
  • Christie said he delivered “three balanced budgets with lower taxes.” Actually, he cut the state Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income residents and the popular property-tax rebate program for renters and homeowners. It’s a matter of interpretation whether those are tax hikes or spending reductions. A proposed 10 percent income tax cut hasn’t been enacted.
  • He said he took on public-sector unions to reform a pension system “headed to bankruptcy” and “saved retirees their pension.” That’s accurate as far as it goes. But the state is not fully funding the revamped system, and the pension liabilities gap will begin to grow again.
  • Regarding teachers, Christie said he ended “the guarantee of a job for life regardless of performance.” That’s correct. Christie worked with a Democratic Legislature to make significant changes to the tenure system — even providing a path to fire tenured teachers with negative evaluations.
On state taxes, Christie said “we have three balanced budgets with lower taxes.” First of all, New Jersey, like many states, requires a balanced budget. But did he balance the budget “with lower taxes”? He did sign into law some business tax incentives, but broad-based income and sales taxes have not changed. He has proposed lowering income taxes by 10 percent across the board, but that measure has yet to pass." [More]

Throw in the fact that he is against things such as proper gun control and same sex marriages, and I think that he would be right at home with the Tea Party wing of his party.

 “What do you want? I’m tired of you people,”

Governor, I truly wish that they were tired of you.

  2. OMG...me and SETPHEN agree...

    Im in direct opposition to Christie because I live and own property in N.J.

    This guy has systematically prevented NJ"S Medical Cannabis program from being implemented he way it was intended to. He is in the pockets of Big Pharma, and the Prison Industrial Complex . Poperty taxes have continued to go up with nothing to benefit from it. I live in Trenton where they have literally turned it into Camden by laying off over 100 cops because of budget problems. He plays lip service to reducing the prison population with drug programs, but is quick to shoot down any form of decriminalization for drug gangs most profitable product cannabis.

    Hs in the same category as O-bomber on this issue..

    Oh, and make sure you slap Shaq's picture up on the "House Negro" of the day award. He certainly deserves it by comin out for Cristie... He is definitely...most Un Clean

    Now this doesn't mean Im on your side in terms of O-Bomber or anything... We are still in disagreement on who he is, and what hes about...

    I still need you to WAKE THE FLUCK UP ... on that note...

    I know... I know... Im White Right?? LOL

    come on Field ..

    Did he tell them they could keep their doctor and their healthplan if they wanted to?

    Did he tell them no one who made under $250,000/year would see their taxes rise?

    Did he say that if he got a trillion dollars in stimulus spending, unemployment would stay below 8%? How about the one about how he would, if elected, end deficit spending?

    Did he tell them he would have the most transparent administration ever? That he would end domestic spying? Close Guantanamo?

    Your criticism of Gov Christie reminds me of the same shit Obama has done to Americans. It's funny that you never list the lies and failed promises of Obama, which is damn near 'everything' that has come out of his mouth.

    Amazingly, you haven't mentioned the O man's multifaceted lies. In fact, you have endorsed every one of them...which are far greater than Christie could ever dream up.

    Mr Field, you are a big shameless hypocrite...

  12. I wish I knew. I wish I knew what any of these politicians have ever done to win the admiration of the public to the point of reelection.

    We're a country of over 300 million people. Politics in general should be a one-term-only volunteer stint where pools of vetted people are nominated to run for election should they choose. It shouldn't be about careers. It shouldn't be about power.

    But we have fought incredibly hard to become saddled with the exact system we deserve.

    The Field Negro appears to have developed a respect for the truth. Well I'll be.

    You're right about Governor Krispy Kreme. Never trust anyone who is that fat. Pudgy people, okay, but not someone who is a boatload of dysfunction.

    I hate to break it to you, but skinny motherfuckers can be dishonest too. That President and his staff that you worship so much sure do lie a lot:

    • Both Eric Holder and Barack Obama stated that "Fast and Furious was a program begun in the Bush Administration". That was a lie. The Bush Administration had, in fact, shut down any efforts to track illegal shipments of guns to Mexico because it was a dangerous and untenable undertaking.

    • Hillary Clinton, Susan Wright and Barack Obama all stated that the attack in Benghazi was caused by Islamist spontaneous reaction to an anti-Islamist video produced in the United States. We know now - and they knew then - that the attack in Benghazi was a well planned effort by well armed Islamic extremists with connections to Al Qaeda.

    • The President assured us that "..... the IRS targeting of conservative groups like the Tea Party..." was an isolated instance of rogue IRS employees in the Cincinnati office. We now know that the senior levels of the Administration (e.g., the Treasury Department General Counsel, the Deputy Secretary of the Department of the Treasury, and the Office of the White House Counsel) were acutely aware of these plans to target these conservative groups and were worried about these

    • The President and the National Director of Intelligence reassured the American people time and time again that the phone calls and emails of Americans were not being monitored and recorded as part of our intelligence programs. We know that to be false and, further, we now know that our electronic spying is international in scope and technologically sophisticated.

    Then of course there were all those false promises regarding Obamacare.

    You can respect the truth or Obama, but not both.

    Obama at 39% Job Approval

    It's not a new low -- he had some bad months mid-2011 -- but it is a recent low.

    Furthermore, I think this time it will stick. Because his personal favorability is now also underwater, at 49%.

    BTW, if people give Obama personally a 10% bump over his policies, how can anyone make the case that opposition to Obama is fueled by racism? If anything, he seems to be getting a break for his race here.

    In any event, fewer and fewer people seem to like what he is doing to the country. With the news each day about his Gigantic Lies in Service of His Gigantic Incompetence, this stuff is going to hang around long enough to make an impression.

    The old take was that, no matter how bad Obama was doing, he was a Nice Man who was Trying to Do the Right Thing. His serial lying and new round of serial lying to explain his past lies obliterates the Nice Man who Is Trying to Do The Right Thing narrative.

    He's not just a failure anymore; he's a dishonest, shifty politician who lies to the American people -- and hurts them! -- to get what he wants.

    And then who, having lied about just about everything, also fails.

  27. Good luck with the tea party types. Christie would have to backpeddle faster than an NFL cornerback to explain many of his positions such as helping Sandy victims and gasp, working with Dems. He would never survive a primary. GWB did the passionate conservative stuff almost 20 years ago, that act wouldn't work today. Say hello to candidate Ted Cruz.

  30. Maybe FN can explain how his "racism and guns" theory applies in this situation.

    Tanya Mount says she is being targeted by the administrator at her daughter's school after a meeting between the two several week ago.

    "I feel like a criminal. I want I want to be heard. I want a public apology," says Mount. On Wednesday, Mount says she was handed a notice from Richmond County Board of Education police.

    "He tells me that were going to issue you a criminal trespass warning," says Mount. The notice banned her from McBean Elementary School where her disabled daughter attends.


    http://www.wrdw.com/home/headlines/12-On-Your-Side-Banned-from-childs-elementary-school-for-Facebook-picture-229770981.html

    (Like good white democrat newscasters always do, if the story is about a black person they bring on a black reporter.)

    Instead of teaching, school officials are looking up the parents facebook pages. Only in government schools would that be tolerated.
    If only the school had enough power they could have done like FN dreams about and thrown her into Guantanamo.

    Something else about Christie made me have some reservation. Then I remembered. I read an article some months ago about the Hurricane Sandy Fund of $32 MILLION..which Christie put his wife in charge of. Seems like 4 months after the hurricane..not one penny had been paid out. BUT..she did manage to hire a friend w/no experience in running a charitable at an annual salary of $160,000.

    #######

    By Shannon Mullen/The Asbury Park Press

    The Sandy relief fund chaired by New Jersey first lady Mary Pat Christie has raised more than $32 million so far. But four months after the superstorm, none of that aid has reached storm victims yet.

    In an interview, Mary Pat Christie pointed to the logistical challenge of starting a charity from scratch, the relief fund's focus on addressing long-term recovery needs, instead of short-term relief, and her own "methodical" approach to putting the proper resources and safeguards in place, as reasons for the delay.

    It was never the intent for the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund to quickly provide monetary aid directly to storm victims, she noted. Instead, the plan was to lend support to reputable nonprofit groups that will be providing victims with financial assistance and other services in the months and years to come. The relief fund plans to distribute $1 million in grants this week, with another $5 million to follow several weeks after that.

    "I have taken excruciating steps to make sure that we give the money out in a really judicious way," Mary Pat Christie told the Asbury Park Press.

    "You want accountability, you get accountability when you go through a methodical structure," she said. "So, in three years when I'm still distributing money at Hurricane Sandy Relief, ask me if we're doing enough."

    Mary Pat Christie's defense of her charity's performance, however, comes on the heels of the pointed barbs her husband, Gov. Chris Christie, has hurled at the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Speaker of the House John Boehner, among others, for what the governor sees as inexcusable delays in helping the state's residents, businesses and communities still reeling from the Oct. 29 storm. Christie famously called Congress' holdup of Sandy relief "disgusting."

    The deliberate pace of Mary Pat Christie's 4-month-old charity contrasts with the Robin Hood Foundation's rapid turnaround of the $67 million raised by the 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief.

    To date, Robin Hood has awarded more than $50 million in grants to dozens of nonprofit groups, with nearly 40 percent of the funds earmarked for relief efforts in New Jersey.
    The foundation expects to commit almost all of the remaining concert money by the end of the month.

    Mary Pat Christie's former chief of staff and director of protocol, Cam Henderson, who had no prior experience running a charitable foundation, has been tapped to serve as the fund's executive director, at an annual salary of $160,000. The average compensation for top executives of nonprofit organizations with budgets between $25 million and $50 million in 2009 was $309,466, the charity noted.

    I'm agree on this because today there was a lot of business in our place but some of them goes to a bankruptcy case. They will find a great lawyer to solve their case like this. That's why Bankruptcy lawyer are the best career to choice.
