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.

We didn't even get a chance to miss you.

"If you feel like leaving you know you can go But why don't you stay until tomorrow?If you want to be free, you know, all you got to do is say so And when you feel cold, I'll warm you And when you feel you can't go on, I'll come and hold you It's you... And me forever Sara Smile Won't you smile a while for me"

Oh if my homeboys Hall Oates only knew when they wrote those lyrics. But please Sara[h], please don't "stay until tomorrow"; you have already stayed long enough. I swear that if it's going to be you"and me forever" I need to find MJ's doctor (the one or ones with the suped up sleeping pills) quick. Sarah, I can't stand to listen to your ass for 15 minutes of a press conference, so forever would be.....god I can't even think about it.

It's no secret that politicians are supposed to have huge egos, but this is ridiculous. This woman just will not get off the stage. I know that being the governor of Alaska is like being the long snapper on a football team. (Field, what the hell does a long snapper do? Exactly!) But the poor people of Alaska elected you, Sarah, the least you could do is finish out your term and show them that you can be an executive for four years. What's so pressing that you have to leave now? The rednecks, and Christian conservatives (Isn't that an oxymoron?) who were all over you like a teenager on You Porn aren't going anywhere. You are still it in their world, Sarah, so why quit?

Oh field, you are such a hypocrite, what about a certain senator from Illinois with a funny name? Didn't he quit to run for president? You didn't seem to be so concerned about the people who elected him then now did you? That's a fair point, but a senator ain't like being a governor. A governor really does do bread and butter things in a state. And while it might be the senator's job to insure that the state gets some pork, it's the governor's job to make sure that the pork gets put on the table if you get my drift. Besides, if Sarah had come right out and said that she was quitting to run for president maybe I would cut her a little slack. But all this secrecy around her future, coupled with that mess of a press conference to formally resign, was totally whack. But then again, it was totally Sarah.

Besides, Sarah just loves the spotlight. She got a taste of it when she ran on team Titanic and she just won't let it go. Dave apologizing to her one last time was the worst thing that could have happened for her, because it killed that news cycle and kicked her off the front pages down here in the lower forty eights.

So let the speculating begin. And believe me it has, already. Everybody is talking about Sarah: What is she going to do? Why did she quit now? Is this good or bad for her political future? Was the money she is going to get as a FOX News host just too much to turn down...... and on and on it goes. I thought I was done with this woman after his O ness was sworn in, but obviously she is not done with me.

"Its you... and me forever Sara smile Wont you smile a while for me... "

It's Ok Sarah, you can hold the smile. I am sure we will be seeing plenty of you and those pearly whites in the days to come.
