— Ace Good stuff.
| Gov Christie calls S-L columnist thin-skinned for inquiring about his 'confrontational tone' |
This flies directly counter to what I was saying earlier about politicians profiting from fudging their positions in order to pander to that segment of the polity who wish to be spared the intellectual and moral burden of making decisions.
Maybe Christie has decided that segment of the population isn't going to rouse itself from its slumber anyway so might as well just speak bluntly.
Will it work? Hey, I've got a some sort of scientific curiosity about stuff. Conventional wisdom says that it's usually the other kind of politician -- slippery, evasive, platitudinous, gray, poll-tested and blow-dried -- that prospers, but who knows. I'm open to contrary evidence.

well hell, we certainly don't want a politician to be honest about his intentions and his tone?
hell Obama has tone and sneers , flips birds, heckles americans without any honesty at-all.
I prefer honest, maybe with a little tone.

I have really taking a liking to this rotund gov., so I hopped on over to my evil FB to add him as a friend. FB then told me I couldn't because he had too many friends. He only has 3500+. WTF?

He's not fucking around. What's amazing is that Christie been saying since day one: "I'm not fucking around."
But these assholes in the media don't believe him. So in that video he finally has to (pretty much) say, "I'm not fucking around. I'm here to govern as the state's governor."

If a liberal is pushing a policy with aggressive rhetoric, he's being "passionate". Conservatives are "confrontational". Liberals "raise questions", conservatives "attack". Liberals are "concerned", conservatives "raise fears".
One of their key tactics, and I've waited for someone to call them out for years. I kind of wish I lived in the other state that elected a Republican governor in 2009. Although, McDonnell is kind of playing good cop/bad cop with our new AG. Ken makes liberals spew obscenities, can't wait till he runs for Governor.

Schwarzenegger, to his credit, tried to be no-nonsense in the beginning.
He called the CA legislature 'girly men.'
And then caught hell, backed down, and became a pussy.

It's fine for them to associate the Tea Party with ball sucking and terror and racism, but they pretend we're psychos for simply stating our mind.
Chris Christie is a heroic governor and I hope a few politicians snap out of the haze. Voters don't actually like this squishy shit. None who you want voting for you, anyway. Let's win elections for an actual reason, like Chris Christie did, or just stay out of the real leader's way.

I think the era of blow-dry, focus group pols is ending. People are paying attention and are not going to put up with obfuscating when we are nearly insolvent. Their children's future is at stake and people are not listening to the excuses. They want action.
Dan Coats was interviewed yesterday and one thing he said he noticed is that when he did town hall meetings in the 90's he would get 10-15 people in the room.
Now every town hall in Indiana ends up with 500-600 people. I was encouraged that he sees the difference and understands that we do not want reaching across the aisle to accomodate the democrats.
Sometimes there is a change in public sentiment which comes very quickly. A good example of this is the difference between public attitudes in 1976, when Carter was elected, and 4 years later, when Reagan became president. I still believe a lot of the attitude change was winning the Gold Medal in Hockey at Lake Placid. It's easy to see the difference....all you have to do is notice that Alan Alda, who was a hot star on MASH, suddenly ended up in character roles, and no one watches MASH reruns. The humor isn't relevant any more.

The people of California would love him. The Democrat controlled legislature and their Republican machine party enablers, not so much.
Out here, we are stuck between the Devil and the 'deep-blue-sea'. The Dems gerrymandered all the districts, with the Republican party's help, so everyone got a safe seat. We are now in a positive feedback loop of spending and we will not stop until there is no money left. Only an outside force could change things here.

Dear Governor Christie,
Hi, it's me again: the problem. I just wanted to let you know that you're tone is setting a bad example for the children. As adults, we need to show the children how to resolve issues as adults.
As adults, we don't argue and call names. We don't act ignorant and bigoted. And we don't lie to advance our agenda. Children need to see their leaders act responsibly and not play the blame game. Shouting and acting like a lunatic is no way to govern, Mr Governor.
When you stand there all fat and blubbery in front of the microphone and lie about 'taxes' and 'too much spending' and all that other crap, it sends the wrong signal to the children.
You wasn't elected to push a Republican agenda or help your white friends. You were elected to run state services. Stop giving the legislature a hard time, Governor, and let them do there jobs of making laws. And stop being mean-spirited to state employees. The people of New Jersey didn't elect a tyrant, they elected a governor. Try to be a good governor...for the children.

But seriously, he actually acts a lot like Obama with all the "I Won" and "that's what they sent me here to do" stuff. But the major distinction is that Christie didn't hide his true beliefs from the New Jersey electorate like Obama did to Americans and Christie doesn't try to hide what he believes and wrap himself in a post-partisan cloak because he knows he's not.

That would be absurd and I don't want people gritting their teeth and thinking they have to settle for a Rino just because he blasted a douche reporter.
You get to support a clear thinking leader who blasted a douche reporter and deserves some credit for his actions on the judicial nomination front. A lot of credit.

How did this god of a man ever get elected in blue state NJ?
Because many property owners were / are still pissed off. And I'm guessing many were also aware of Christie's work in prosecuting scumbag politicians. As if on cue, 26 douchebags were rounded up a few months before the election. This included the Hoboken Mayor who was in office for all of three weeeks. All for bribery and corruption charges. That might have resonated with angry voters, although Hudson County still managed to vote for Corzine. Always against their own interests, what a shock.

Okay, I just read Tom Moran's blog on the S-L and I can confirm he is a mewling pussy.
I read his post about the Supreme Court thing. He starts out by saying that this guy Wallace, who Christie is not re-appointing - is a close ally of the State Senate President. And then he says Christie is injecting politics into the courts.
Seriously?
Christie shoulda come out from behind the podium and just beat him down like something outta Goodfellas, then said, "No, that's confrontational. You mewling pussy."

Remember when they mocked Christie's fatness but it was okay because they were Democrats and then Christie laughed it off and turned the tables on Corzine and then when Imus asked Christie how much he weighed, Christie said, "Five-hundred fifty pounds" and said he was gonna be a fat winner on election day?
Remember that?

Enough is enough -- I have no desire to wind up like Europe, begging a certain group to "be nice" to me while they strip every freedome, everything away.

I'm looking forward to how my gov, Deval Patrick, will try to unsay the stupid comments he had re: Arizona law and illegal immigrants after the 2 illegal pakistanis were arrested in Watertown today.
He told us (today) to be vigilant and aware of our surroundings, hmmm, almost sounds like he's advocating profiling or something.

Christie: That veto pen does more than your Prius. Your party wasted billions last year. How much'd you waste? You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a shit. Good non-confrontational reporter? Fuck you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna govern here - close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cocksucker?

Laura,
I pass by the Eastchase area when I drive our youngest to her school, then go to Whole Foods Market (she and I have Celiac Disease, so we have to eat Gluten-Free food; thus I have to brave the vegetarian grey people.....).
We live near downtown, a couple of miles south of the hospital district. Close to EVERYTHING - it's really nice; we've been here since '84, and in the same 100+ year-old house since '85.

OK, I get him on Sunday mornings.
Somebody ELSE had sex with him the previous evening, so he's all happy and cuddly in the AM, we have some coffee, AWESOME brunch with biscuits and cream gravy, sausage, eggs, hash browns. Then a trip to the shooting range for some killin' o' stuff, and that's where you and I make the switch. Deal?

I'm gonna cook this guy two of my famous meatloaves.
I think he would appreciate it.
Usually, I cook one for guests, freeze the other one, cuz' when I make my meatloaf it's an enormous pain in the ass.
(Mostly because growing up, my mom made pretty shitty meatloaf and pork-chops, so I started out teaching myself how to cook on those two items and they have kind of become a specialty.)
But worth it.
I'll also send him along some of the porcini gravy to go with it.
Not that my meatloaf needs any gravy at all, being so succulent and flavory and all but the gravy over a fluffy bed of mashed potatoes really seems to go along with the meatloaf.
He's gonna have to mash his own taters though...

Side comment from the video: It was funny to see the people surrounding Christie laughing when he opened up that six-pack of "I'm the Gov" and as he continued to pop tops, they kept laughing.
His may be great but the whole clan around him are probably like-balled.

Works for me.
Actually, decent mashed taters is kind of hit or miss with me (Spuds from a box growing up, didn't even know I liked mashed taters until my 20's) so, having a guest who is likely to really appreciate a good meatloaf usually means that they can take care of the mashing part while everything else is getting got hot to the table.
Oh, not to say that my mom was a terrible cook.
Some of the things she made when she got out her "recipe box" were incredible but she was busy working most days and had to keep to a pretty tight budget and also grew up in a different era (Re: Spuds from a box. As the oldest girl-child in a family with 12 kids, I realize now that she must have spent more than her fair share of time mashing actual potatoes. Spuds from a box must have seemed like a technological miracle to her when she was the matriarch of her little family of four. Thus, I was never served "real" mashed potatoes at home. Ever.)
I just got pig-headed when I got my first apartment and figured out that no one could make more dry, tasteless and unappealing meatloaf than the one I grew up on, and yet, people professed to like the stuff.
So, I can't help you in making a decent meatloaf.
I can only teach you how to make an amazing one.
Which, to be honest, 2 or 3 of the ingredients would have been way outside my Mom's food budget, if they were even easily available then, when she was cooking for us kids.
I'm telling you, my offer to cook Gov. Christie some meatloaf is a tribute!
(And those staffers laughing at the reporter, behind him, they can share.)

175 He just showed other Republican politicians how you deal with the MFM.
And that, folks, is all you need to know. That 98% "fringe" of the American public that are actually proud Americans wants to see some conservatives with principles kick the living shit out of the media, instead of the other way around!
In all the fucking hand-wringing soap-operas about the fucking victim class du jour that the fucking media orchestrates, nobody seems to give a fucking rat's ass about the real people of the United States, the ones who pay fucking taxes and make it fucking work. We are at best taken for fucking granted, often played for suckers, but lately just fucking ignored. Fix that, you fucking idiots: this is not fucking rocket science, capice?

I find that very heartening.
They are genuinely laughing as if they know this guy.
They are laughing not so much at him putting down the reporter but in an "if only you knew about him" kind of affectionate way.
What I find heartening about this, is that some of those people in the background are the kind of dill-weeds who would have shown up on that podium behind the Governor of NJ, no matter who ended up being elected.
I can sense that they are all pretty psyched, when it comes to this dude and that is interesting.
Hmmm.
He must be one helluva leader with his team.
They are on board.
Even the dill-weeds!

I saw one pernicious hobo interviewed on my local newz 2 nights ago about the need to continue La Raza studies for school-children in Tucson along with some sort of bull-shitty quote about how "they can't locate my soul" as if he is some sort of curandero.
Fuck him!
That opportunistic, cultural leach!
I don't care if he's a fucking PHD in Victims Studies from the UofA!
He's a hobo in my book!
Oh, and BTW...
Why the hell is the UofA, the overlord of all fucking Tucson?
I mean, I know that they have the reputation of not being the the complete joke that other AZ Unis are but they are still pretty much a State school, aren't they?

OK, that was pretty good, but it would have been even better if after Christie had spoken his piece, he had grabbed the reporter's head and crushed it like a grape. You just can't go wrong beating up smarmy lefty journalists, especially ones trying to smear conservatives.

I think there are times, when a large number get scared that the thing may fail, or a severe hit taken, or realize the falseness of the establishment--then this bluntness is no liability, but an asset, for there will be those in the populace who realize that bluntness is the only way to break through (uninvolved but intelligent people osmose a lot about how politics normally works, and what the "conventional wisdom" is).
This is why those who went to town halls last summer quickly became vociferous themselves, or were so out of the box--they had no faith a humble request to "look at the matter" was going to result in anything but the pols doing exactly what they wanted to do while, behind a lying smile, saying that had "listened".
So, getting back to the implied question--Governor Christie will do just fine, because the people who realize that continuing as before is not an option will beat down the shallow idiots for him. Because they realize they have serious skin in the game now.
The entire liberal ediface needs to be pushed, and pushed hard, and all fronts.

Time to put the reporters i n their place. They have a legitimate role but too often they're either ankle biters or ass kissers. The Gov told the little press wienie that he'd better bring a pair to the next discussion or shut up. The Gov would probably respect a reporter with a pair who stood up and had back at him. And they'd have a discussion; and it might be confrontational; and something might be learned on both sides as a result.

I think he hit just the right tone. Sometimes when pols go into chiding reporter mode they come off as imperious ("How dare you question me, you prol?!"). Christie came off as a self-confident man who has his priorities straight and knows exactly what the people elected him to do.
I hope he can right the ship in NJ. He sure does seem to have national politics in his future. Frankly, even the weight thing might not hurt him after people become more and more weary of Nanny Obama telling them what to eat, how to exercise, and what tv to watch.

Cornyn isn't tough. He "called out" Limbaugh to play to his base. He risked nothing by his actions, nada, zilch; he changed nothing. And as to being unfit 'cause he won't be invited to foo-foo events inside the beltway (hope you were being sarcastic) the PEOPLE will invite him in if he keeps this up.
Hey, twerps, stop posting the stupid ads for shoes and handbags and trips or we'll sic the governor on ya! Gov. Christie keep throwin' you weight around - its why NJ elected you!
