Christie does not lie

All Reoublican's lie!

Chief - Uninformed and arrogant is no way to go through life.

Whatever, Are you kidding with that statement? If you ever hooked Christie to a lie detector machine. It would blow up. This guys lies through his teeth like all the rest. He's a smock.

A SCHMUCK!

another dopey Obama supporter/voter

another dopey Obama supporter/voter

He isn't the president yet! This guy is doing better then anyone we have had in many years. I am a Dem but I well vote for him. He hasn't done anything bad like other ones have. Knock it off. Let him finish what he started. You voted for Obama and he is not cutting taxes. He is going to flush us down the can.

Bill Clinton was about to be impeached out of office with the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Her blue dress dont lie.

@Really?: the President didn't raise taxes, Congress did. The POTUS does not have the authority to raise taxes, that power lies with Congress.

Really? - It's ironic how the electorate holds Republicans to their campaign pledges but that barometer does not exist for their Democrat rivals. I'm not aware of a single campaign promise achieved by President Obama in his first term...in fact, quite the opposite.

Really? - Therein lies the problem. Presidential elections are no different than some of the dribble reality shows on TV these days. Folks "like" someone so therefore he, in their mind, is qualified to be president. No objective measures are part of that decision, it's simply they enjoy the candidate's face time on Letterman so let's have him be the leader of the free world. Experience and performance criteria mean little to Americans. They vote for the candidate with the best public relations staff and the candidate who "owns" the mainstream media. I'm not specifically talking about Obama/Romney here either. I'm speaking more about the discerning ability of the average American and his/her ability to think critically. A presidential candidate should never have a rabid fan base. He is not a football or baseball team. He is an employee of the voter and I simply wish we would be more prudent with our hiring practices.

@Donna Griffin: well stated. But wishing for the American voter to be able to think on their own is wishing for the impossible. The average American idiot knows nothng about politics, but can recite from memory every finalist of American Idol for the last 5 seasons. Ask them who their local, state, or federal legislators are and they will not be able to answer.

@Really: Point taken. No harm intended to the American public.

Really??? - I have a difficult time "accepting" the demise of a once great nation particularly because I love my children. I think that the financial and educational futures we are handing off to the next generation are immoral. Settling for mediocrity and the acceptance that Americans are, by and large, superficial and ignorant is a scarey proposition for me. Clearly, however, I am in the minority. I've always said that we get the government that we deserve. With freedoms eroding and public education failing our children at the rapid pace it is, I can assure you that the country we see today will circle the drain at an accelerated rate.

Really?? - I am a firm believer that a nation's educational system is the single most important determining factor in laying the groundwork for its future. Ours is failing and failing rapidly by any international objective standard. Add to that the fact that there are more Americans per capita collecting public assistance (Social Security, Unemployment, Food Stamps, Medicaid, Housing, etc.) than ever in the history of our nation. I cannot help but think that an optimistic, "cyclical" future is what is in store for 20 somethings fresh out of college. If we continue to pay people not to work and have little expectations that they must find work, we will bury our nation quicker than any foreign enemy could ever hope to. Those pulling the cart are outweighed by those sitting in it. It is a mathematically unsustainable formula.

Why? What has he done so far for New Jersey??????

He has done a balanced budget, by getting rid of all the waste in government, and he honestly cares about the people of NJ

Charlie- every governor has balanced the state budget. It is a constitutional requirement. He used the same type of one shot quick fixes as other govs have which he promised he would not do. As far as getting rid of waste in government he has not. He has put his cronies in high paying jobs to pad their pensions, Scharfenberger and Halfacre for two local examples. So he is a liar and really the only thing to his credit to date is how he has handled the hurricane situation, so far. At least he was in the state this time, not like the blizzards when he and the lt. gov. were far away.

07748 - A budget is also a federal constitutional requirement and we are without one for nearly 4 years. So much for the rule of law.

Why? What exactly has Gov Chrisco done?
Can Gov Chrisco give us his opinion on his education transition team member Mike Ritacco and the look the other way law firm?

Thankyou. We all need to help REALLY. There are meds out there for it (REALLY)

Yea and he will keep raping the working man. Like the Police teacher's and Firemen. This fat bastard is no good. Has any body seen any refund on their taxes? Thats what i thought.Don't be fooled.

Corzine lost billions of dollars. Mc greevy quit in a gay scandal, those democrats haha

Most of the people aren't blabbing online about how fed up they are with our Governor. We'll see what happens when we count the votes next year.

Christie has stated that his distant familial connection to Genovese crime family leader Tino Fiumara never came up during his Federal Bureau of Investigation background check for his position as a U.S. Attorney; he told The New York Times in 2009 that he had assumed that investigators were aware of the connection.[25] During his tenure as U.S. Attorney, Christie recused himself from his office's investigation, indictment, and prosecution of Fiumara for aiding the flight of a fugitive.[25] A 2011 commentary on MarketWatch identified Fiumara as Christie's aunt's husband's late brother and said Christie has dismissed the relationship as a "private matter

I'd like to know what charlie is snorting. You want to talk about thieves, take a trip to Ocean County and see all the Governor's "Buds" who are double and triple dipping on the public dime, but he never seems to mention them when he goes on his tirades. How about all the evidence of corruption by elected officials that was sent ro him by folks in OC that he conveniently ignored when he was the Federal Prosecutor of NJ?? To me that makes him even dirtier than the regular criminals we are surrounded by in Ocean County.

Cory Booker can't even run Newark, Him governor would be a disaster.

so what? the 19 or 25 percent of his minority race will be enough to put him over the top? He's not a solid democrat so that definately won't be a sure thing. especially how christie's tough guy image, and that's all it is, wins all the powerless' vote. either way no citizen is gonna win till we topple the very core of our ancient and totally flawed system of government. it's set up to rob the people with one vote to elect a puppet for big money factions fighting over how much they/we can take from each other earned or not. somebody smart better think of a new system when this one collapses completely tomorrow.

The Obama Zombies got us 4 more years of the wrong man in the oval office, with in three years Obama will have destroyed the economy, Having Booker as Gov will mean little If the Booker Zombies send him to Trenton it will be no great loss! The country will be a mess how could he make things worse?

I agree, Tyrone.

cant just vote because of race, Look at the mess obama has caused, because of people voting solely because of race 16 billion in debt and counting. and businesses afraid to add employees because of an unwanted health care system.

You tell them T

True..Between him handing jobs out to his cronies....Under his administration their has been a large increase in employees under him.

Wow. That koolaid must taste good.

It is amazing how Christie has so many of you fooled!

TILL 2016 when he well be president. Thank you gov.

I dislike Chris Christie intensely. I find him rude, crude and out-of-control. While I will admit that he did a reasonable job handling the storm (unless you live somewhere other than the Jersey shore) he has raped the municipalities. We were supposed to have had a 2% cap on property taxes. I have not found a single town where that has happened. My taxes went up 5.4%, while we do not have enough firefighters to even start fighting a fire until mutual aid arrives. I would like to know where all the money is that Christie skimmed from municipalities and state agencies.

You can't say Christy like OBAMA, he doesn't give anything away. Iknow. I have tried for things I really need and was turned down.

It is also the law in Washington and when did that happen last????

I agree with everything you are saying, except I will never support teachers, administrators or anyone who works in the school system. The system is broken, lies and full of corruption and a heck of lot of dishonesty to spread around. From the Unions, to the Administration, to the Teachers...everyone knows what is going on. The entire system needs an overhaul.

Christie, Do us a favor and get on that.

Why cant that city organizer they call a president, or should I say a dictator balance a budget as required by law? He is incompetent

The responsibility for a budget that will be accepted by the Senate and signed by the President rests with the House of Representatives. A simple majority of the House does not get to decide for the nation.

Finally somebody with a brain.

Right--Giuliani was SO hated by NYers that Bloomturd the ldiot Mayor had to switch to the R party to get elected in the overwhelmingly Dim NYC, ldiot.

Wrong! Christie ROCKS!
And, he will get votes and lots of them from NJ.

call Rex Ryan he might lick Fat Boys toes
again what has he done? 2% cap?
I did like the fact he called out the republicon rubes in Washington

Didya see the Bush Brownie video?

Just like every other politician...You always find out once they are out of office and all the dishonesty comes rolling out.

How about a flat tax , but no god forbid the filthy rich pay their fair share.

Barney

did you have your head in Mc Greaveys lap during the Bush yrs?

"learnet"????? Mc Greavey????
It's time you learn something!

Tom Kean governed during the good times.

Christie has national presence.

I still think the best Governor was Tom McGreavey.

He was boning the guy from Israel on New Jersey taxper's dime, remember?

did you miss the Bush years?
2 unfunded wars? Medicare part d? Katrina?

Yes I miss the Bush years! Way better than four more years of a socialist agenda.

The fears of the '70's have come true. Big brother is now here and after four more years of Obama it will be even more devastating. We now have many similar conditions the sure seam like the U.S.S.R. of the '70's. Maybe after Christie gets re-elected Govenor again, he will run for President.

The majority who got Obama re-elected were the takers.  Just like what happened to the U.S.S.R, Europe, the Roman and the Greek Empires. The takers kept taking and the payer's run out of money, then the government will go broke. History is repeating itself once again.  We need someone like Christie to save us!

Really??? You are right, it was the takers and the liberal elite who supported Obama's socialism. 

Due to the actions of the current socialist agenda of Obama and his economy killing regulations, i have had an opportunity to visit Europe, Africa and Central America. Had plenty of time, due to the lack of work in this country. It amazes me how Obama's headed in a direction, the rest of the world is trying to get away from.

We need someone like Christie to save us.

Anonymous.. there is one thing to get a person a job, its another to make sure you keep it... Tell me Obama hasn't done that either ( oh wait 1/2 his family is living at the white house) with secret service protection, chefs cooking for them all etc, all the perks him & his family usually have, he has a entire tribe there ....

@truth - the best comment by far - also, Christe is the first gov. in a very long tine to dig in and take on all the special interest takers. If he is not re-elected by a landslide I would be skocked.

@truth. Are you really making a comment about the President's mother-in-law living in the White House? You can't possibly be such a small minded person.
I know people chose to move away from their families and friends of a lifetime to move here and let UPS be the contact with their grandchildren, but you're seriously begrudging one widowed grandmother to be with her family? What a sad little person.

You should see the movie, "Lincoln." Many great chief executives -- including Republicans -- have appointed political "cronies" to achieve a greater good.

He has added the most jobs to his administration. He has no problem giving him and all his cronies raises but he will turn down an increase in minimum wage that so many NJ residents need. This is a corrupt state that will never change. I can't wait to the day I can get the hell out.

I hear, nothing like kiss your your bosses ass to make sure a job gets done ... because if he didn't it would have taken at least a week before FEMA even got down to the Jersey shore... sometimes its best to know your place & know YOUR power, & when sometimes ya have to bit ya tongue ( even if your Chris Christie) to go threw the right channels to get something accomplished. D OR R thats they way it needs to be sometimes ...cuz at the end of the day if both parties are not working together NOTHING get gets gone or resolved

may it would have been better your way & NOT have the help come in?

@Rufus - I think your leaning WAY too far to the right pal. Christe is doing a fine job and this in a blue state. I will bet you 98% of the people reading this never even heard of Lonegan or Sabrin. You need to be realistic.

When has this state ever run a conservative for any major office? A lot of people referred to Bret Schundler as a conservative, but many forget that he was a Democrat at one time ... not only that, he was torpedoed by the faction of his own party that favored Bob Franks (including then NJ GOP Chairman and failed U.S. Senate candidate, Joe Kyrillos). All I know is that the Republican Party in this state has been running left-of-center Republicans for major office for decades, and they have either lost (i.e. every single person they picked for U.S. Senate) or proven to be big government hacks just like their Democratic counterparts (i.e. Chris Christie Todd Whitman). Most people base their opinions on politicians on irrelevant things ... they don't notice that living in this state isn't getting any easier, they notice that he's a Bruce Springsteen or a Mets fan just like them. He might have a more appealing personality than most of the Democratic Governors this state has had in the past few decades (one possible exception being Dick Codey), but that doesn't make him superior in any way to the rest of the bunch. Same policies, cloaked in different rhetoric: that's all there is to it. Lonegan did very respectably in the last primary, considering the margin by which he was outendorsed and underfunded. Sabrin, if he actually gets the opportunity to present his ideas with being given the blackout treatment by the media, could also have a decent shot at getting elected.

Christie has stated that his distant familial connection to Genovese crime family leader Tino Fiumara never came up during his Federal Bureau of Investigation background check for his position as a U.S. Attorney; he told The New York Times in 2009 that he had assumed that investigators were aware of the connection.[25] During his tenure as U.S. Attorney, Christie recused himself from his office's investigation, indictment, and prosecution of Fiumara for aiding the flight of a fugitive.[25] A 2011 commentary on MarketWatch identified Fiumara as Christie's aunt's husband's late brother and said Christie has dismissed the relationship as a "private matter

@clark - been watching a few too many mob movies? You do realize Christie was a former prosecutor who put many wiseguys away.

LOL I have lived in brick for over
14 years My ROAD IS NEVER plowed... in fact 2 years ago a elderly man had a heart attack & died because the ambulance couldn't even get to him, we THOUGHT after that they would start blowing ... that didn't even work. doesn't matter who the Gov, or Prez is...

@ really... NO S**T I was answering to someone( GJD) else that made it a point to bring up that Christie was not ending his vaca short when we where getting hit by a snow a storm..& complaining .. It was just a ridiculous comment to make, 1) what was he suppose to do? Change the weather??? Or travel during a blizzard??

For starters, If you have any memory at all, you should remember that it was indeed our state highways that saw no snow treatments, or plows for quite a long time. I'n not talking about my street or your street, cut me a break. And yes it should have been just that simple, call DPW and get those guys moving; a very simple phone call and yet it did not happen, that is exactly my point.... Also, its NOT about the 38 other states not having medical pot at all, its about (try and understand this) taking over 2 years to to materialize the medical marijuana program here after it was passed. Let me try it another way to help you understand, Corzine passed it, Christie sat on it and than drug his feet. Not one of the 17 other states in this country took two years to form a medical pot program after it was passed, not one...Do you understand that? If not, just try and read this post again, but slower this time...

agree Jose, entitlements are what people too lazy to work expect.

What is allowed to be purchased with foodstamps has nothing to do with the President,this one or any of those in the past.Any food for human consuption can be purchased with them.Since foodstamps is supposed to be a nutrition programs for poor people,I agree that foods that contain little or no nutrtion should be allowed to be purchased with them.But,it's been going on for years,since I worked in a supermarket in the 70s,and probably before that.The BMWs that recepients drive away in may very well be those of their employers who pay them in cash,off the books.That,too,has been going on for years.

Don't know if there is really any truth to what I found out...But, Florida is trying to pass (or have already passed) into law that all welfare recipients must pass a drug test to receive benefits. I hope NJ follows suit on this one! Oh boy...watch the exodus from down south to up north!

that why people that own homes & pay taxes & go to work there taxes are going up TO support people like that.. the Obama-program... People will NEVER learn to walk if someone is always carrying them.

marylou,
Those BMWs could very well belong to food stamp recipients. Obama did away with the resource limit for food stamps. The program is now based only on income. If they can show no or little income by hiding it then they can collect food stamps. Before they were required to dispose of some assets and spend the money on necessities.
I wonder how many votes that got Obama?

Really?

Donald you ARE entitled to recieve your just due as you have contributed to it...it's those that have NEVER contrbuted that arn't "entitled" to a damn thing.

Donald, I thank you for your service and if anyone is indeed entitled (not in the pejorative sense) to be rewarded for their citizenship it is you and other veterans and serving military. There is indeed good government service/benefits and bad, as there is good and bad government as a whole. I think when people speak of the "the entitlement class" I personally don't take it to mean anyone collecting anything from the government. Certainly a soldier returning from a tour of duty in WW2 was helped by the GI bill but that in turn was a good investment in the future of this nation...as our zenith in the 1950s-70s can attest to the results. It is the welfare class that has come to rely on government for its very existence that is the target of their ire. Romney unfortunately used the generic "47%" as his concern which unfairly scoops everyone not paying federal income tax regardless of circumstance into the category of listless ward of the state. To me the "productive class" is not merely those who earn enough to pay federal income tax. It is anyone who is contributing to society in a way that does not demand we subsidize ad infinitum their lives. A college student on the way to earning a masters in engineering or a hard-working post high school or college worker in an entry level position in any company, a soldier walking the wall on our behalf, or a senior who HAS worked his/her whole life are not the same as a 40 year old able bodied man in line for a disability check.

Donald, my father has passed,but was also a vet raising 4 kids in the late 60's & 70 my parents worked hard owning 1 car, there where many nights my Mom packed us all in the car to take my dad to one job then the other. as his normal routine, just to support his family he also after serving in the navy in the 60's full time became natl. guard later in life. It was not a easy life,many 4 day a week spaghetti dinners & hot dogs between, our" vacation"was going down the shore to our grandparents house. BUT my parents NEVER took a hand out NEVER thought of it, my Dad(& Mom) worked hard to have a home & to raise us. Bcz my parents where married & worked they didn't qualify for reduced lunch even for us, Nor any type of help for college... My dad taught us, IF YOU DIDN'T pay for it its NOT YOURS, & NOTHING handed to you is worth having ... & "a day your not working is a day you shouldn't eat" these are works I still live by & are teaching my kids,....Iam not saying to take away things that you have paid into,.. NOT to people that have never worked hard a day in the adult live... NOT for someone that gets rent paid for & utilities paid for, free medical, food stamps, welfare, free lunch for there kids, etc.. But yet some how can afford new cars & 100$ sneakers for there kids, basically bcz they are NOT married claiming the fathers income( SSI checks)& cash paid jobs JUST so there is not confusion PAYING into it Fine, NOT just taking & lying to get it is what I was talking about

@ really Correct.... !!! if the Gormt is support the kids anyway let them go to foster parents that will take care of them... IF YOUR A DRUG ADDICT you should have kids & If you do they should be taken away!!!

Not welfare, unemployment. Already passed, they spent over 400,000 and no one failed testing. Knowing Rick Scott, he probable invested in testing labs before the law was passed. Man was CEO of a healthcare company that committed the largest Medicare fraud in history and they make him governor.

Tim O C, you're hitting it right on the head with your 11/27 comments. Someone replied to my previous post that "It must suck to live in Ocean County". Hey folks, don't kid yourself. The corruption here is supported by both sides of the aisle in Trenton, as it would be in any County if it is to their monetary benefit. It's very frustrating (and alarming) to see both "R" and "D" citizens being stepped on and abused by the thugs in power, and then having their cries for help ignored by those (of both political affiliations) who are charged with enforcing the law (at the local, county, state and federal level). Mr. Christie partook in such practice when he was the federal attorney. I'm hoping that someday the people wake up and realize that this "D" and "R" opium that they are smoking is nothing more than a tool for those in power to keep them under control. We're all being abused and ripped off by the crooks we keep putting back in office.

but Christie has stated that his distant familial connection to Genovese crime family leader Tino Fiumara never came up during his Federal Bureau of Investigation background check for his position as a U.S. Attorney; he told The New York Times in 2009 that he had assumed that investigators were aware of the connection.[25] During his tenure as U.S. Attorney, Christie recused himself from his office's investigation, indictment, and prosecution of Fiumara for aiding the flight of a fugitive.[25] A 2011 commentary on MarketWatch identified Fiumara as Christie's aunt's husband's late brother and said Christie has dismissed the relationship as a "private matterhes mobbed up

@ Timmy lol get a hold of yourself
what exactly has Gov Chrisco done?
the folks on Lacey rd found a way around Chriscos 2% cap but I bet you voted for them? or did you write in Boss Hog?
Unemployment rate under Chrisco up or down?

really??? that's funny. lol. I didn't suggest assassinating government leaders. I said mob leaders running our government through many means and I did so to stress a point. The fbi has a tape of one such man where he comes out and suggests that he will get his way, against the good of the people for his profit alone, or he will put a gun to any of his rivals head and blow their brains out like they do in north jersey. remember that tape? and the fbi and your beloved governor did absolutely nothing to get this man out of nj politics or it's bussiness. I think he's in the insurance rackets. lol. and you call me psycho for suggesting doing onto these types as they would do unto us all that wanna stop this thuggery? it is you who is being silly and psycho. I don't advocate violence, but doing nothing as an alternative is totally stupid. Apparently the fbi in nj is incompetent or corrupt or both.

He only pussy foots around things when it comes to him and his own corruption. Or he will just totally ignore a question or blow up if he does not like the question.

I assume you are one of the "mindless lemmings" from Lacey who vote by letter rather than by what the candidate stands for. You can ignore all the unlawful acts committed by Christie's "friends" here in Ocean County, and hopefully you never end up as one of the innocent citizens that get harmed as a result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time when these "thugs" are looking to pad their pockets further. To reiterate what I've said previously, those who are charged with enforcing the law, and choose to look the other way when their cronies commit serious crimes, are more guilty than those that commit the crime in the first place.... that's your buddy Chris Christie.

LT Guy, apparently you are very ignorant; about lemmings, they are rodents and while I am sure Lacey has rodents this particular mammal is not a native to this region let alone the town. Lemmings are usually found living in the arctic regions in tundra biomes, not Lacey township NJ. (For more information see wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemming) I vote the way I feel comfortable with, D,R,I TP it really doesn't matter to me, When I vote I have usually spoken to EACH of the candidates I had access to, and I do go out of my way to take the time to meet with them personally and ask them my questions.Is it possible they lie, cheat and over promise to get into the office they desire? Yes absolutely but it is also likely that as voters we might just be expecting more of them than can be delivered given the environment they have to work in. Government is an ever-changing climate I personally think we need to have more real regular people in office, younger and less career politicians in government.
