1 I'm developing a serious mancrush on Christie.

2 Senatoor Cristmass is a racist !!!! I be note abouts dee things...

3 I can hear the cries of racism all the way down here in SC.

4 Justice WallaceÂ’s departure also means that for the first time in 16 years, the court will not have a black justice. If confirmed by the State Senate, Mr. ChristieÂ’s appointment of Anne M. Patterson, a Morris County lawyer, will give the court its first female majority.

The diversity-fu is strong in this one.

5 Take note, Arizona!

6 What I find absolutely great about all this is that he ran as a moderate and is blowing them away as a conservative!

Has that ever happened before?

7 Wow... now this is the kind of "CHANGE" I was "HOPEing" for...

8 I hate humans. I wish they would all go away.......

9 Awesomely awesome. Now that we all can see that it can be done, maybe Christie will be the political Roger Bannister for Republicans.

10
Damn, we just might need a fat guy on the '16 ticket.

11 Seriously, can I just bow down before the awesomeness and bodacity on display in New Jersey now? Hell, my state government can't even stop waiving college tuition for their buddies' and donors' (birm) kids and Christie's out there using Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick on everything in sight.

12 Christie just isn't playing by the rules the Democrats have set up to rig the game for so long.

He's the anti-Obama.

13 This goes against America's notion of fairness.....

14 In New Jersey, governor appoints YOU!

15 Related:  NJ is the 4th worst state to do business in according to this survey of CEOs.  Christie is going to have a mighty big hill to climb if he is going to change that.

16 Looks like nobody told Gov. Christie that he's supposed to "grow in office."

17 Christie / Rubio 2012

18 I have a feeling that SZy+Y will be banned just about as quickly as coverage of the Pakastani will be banned by the MSM. Anyways, is this guy awesome, or what? It's like we have a jovial Dick Cheney/John Bolton hybrid in, of all places, New Jersey showing us the way.

19 but no matter how Christie ultimately fares in his "crusade", he has illuminated the facts of debt, entitlements, corruption.  and the press is reporting it even though they hate doing so.

20 Behold the Power of Carbs!

21

Chris Christie is proof that God does, on occasion, say "yes" to prayers.

22 The "outrage" of the MFM may bring the rhetorical environment to the point of overload. That is, the ordinary person may be overwhelmed by the constant cries of 'wolf' that they shut the media out totally.

When the left loses the effectiveness of its cheerleaders, their hegemony collapses.

Posted by: Bomber at May 04, 2010 11:49 AM (qzoN5)

Speaking of Barack the Unworthy, this what he had to say about his first year.

"Obama said that the unanimous House vote against the Recovery Act ‘set the tenor for the whole year’: ‘That helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans.’ For Obama this was the greatest surprise of 2009. ‘[It wasn’t that] I thought that my political outreach and charm would immediately end partisan politics,’ the president said. ‘I just thought that there would be enough of a sense of urgency that at least for the first year there would be an interest in governing. And you just didn’t see that.’"

The stimulus was a huge and expensive mistake and yet Zero  blames us "teabaggers" for rejecting his "political outreach and charm," for failing to recognize the "urgency," and for not recognizing his "interest in governing."

God I hate him.

40 At this point, Mike Huckabee must be feeling pretty sorry that he lost all that weight.

41

Well, Eugene Robinson has material for his next 50 dumbass columns.

42 I think the Healthcare Bill that President Obama passed is great and fatso Christie is out of control. We must support our savior President Obama. I know a lot of people support my view for the USA. Let's all get together and support me, I mean President Obama now !!!

43

#7, he actually ran as a conservative, which in this state in the past would have been a death knell. I loves our Big Boy!

just sayin'

44 Chris Christie is a threat to national security.  We have to start forcing elected officials to eat only healthy meals, like the lead-tainted vegetables produced in my garden by unpaid child labor.

And pass me some of those donuts already.  Sweet Barack, this country is mean.

45 This is how we change things for the better. We need a lot more Christies.

Gotta love him! He's my uncle Tony with a law degree. I just wish he'd stay away from the Pasticciotti & Sfogliatelle we need this guy around for another term.

Over at Gatewaypundit. Dear lord we are becoming Argentina.

Just imagine the mass withdraws and massive sell offs in stocks if the government tries this.

Lord knows i am willing to take a 10% hit to close my Retirement account to keep the governments hands off it.

"In February, the White House released its “Annual Report on the Middle Class” containing new regulations favored by Big Labor including a bailout of critically underfunded union pension plans through “retirement security” options.

The radical solution most favored by Big Labor is the seizure of private 401(k) plans for government disbursement — which lets them off the hook for their collapsing retirement scheme. And, of course, the Obama administration is eager to accommodate their buddies."

58 So far Christie has been amazing, definitely some hints of presidential potential... I am just not sure a superficial country like ours would ever elect an over weight guy no matter how good he was.

59

What I find absolutely great about all this is that he ran as a moderate and is blowing them away as a conservative!

Has that ever happened before?

i think he ran as a quasi  apolitical poltician

He's focus was on spending and cuts. Which are conservative positions, but i don't think he too often used the word conservative or republican. So in a way he did run a "moderate" and governs as a evil fiscal right winger.

good stuff.

60 I wish Governor Cortizone was back. He was a great leader and there are many more New Jersey citizen's that think the same. When I was a child growing up in Indonesia, I mean Trenton things were great.

61

The radical solution most favored by Big Labor is the seizure of private 401(k) plans for government disbursement — which lets them off the hook for their collapsing retirement scheme.

That one will never happen. 

62 Can we clone this guy? Please?

63 All the Democrats in NJ combined aren't half the man that Christie is--for real!

64 The encouraging thing to me is that the public seems to understand implicitly the trouble the state is in and may finally be willing to make sacrifices.

Case in point - for the first time in my life (26 years), the nagging "how dare you think about hurting THE KIDS by voting against our raises" schtick from the teachers' union fell upon largely deaf ears.  If he survives the obvious "RACIST!" cries that come from this, I'm not sure the left in NJ has any bullets left in the chamber (short of amnesty creating a million new Democrat votes overnight).

Never thought I'd see the day where my governor was a leading light for sensible governance.  Remember, even NJ Republicans looked an awful lot like Christie Whitman for a long time.

65 I remeber my days at the Jersey shore with Mary Jo Rotten Crouch, I mean Chewy, I mean Michelle. I wanted them to never end .....

66 @60 The superficials already got their guy in. Now it's our turn.

I'm not so sure.  I've seen a lot of things happen in the past 15 months that I never thought could have happened here in America.

68 Wow!!  Gov Christie is leading the way for all reformist governors.........if New Jersey can be saved, other blue states might have a chance.  Esp the corrupt blue states (birm) like IL.

69 Is there an I <3 Christie page somewhere cause if there's not I'm gonna start one...

70

All the Democrats in NJ combined aren't half the man that Christie is

Nor are they one-twelfth the man that Michael Moore is.  But I don't think that's what you meant...

71 That's a Rubicon, runnringrn.  Only the truly batshit crazy lefties in the Congress would even think about it.  There simply is no politically viable way to disguise grabbing 401(k)'s.

72 awesome

73 Can we please have Christie when NJ is done? We need him in CA. Desperately.

74

Related:  NJ is the 4th worst state to do business in according to this survey of CEOs.  Christie is going to have a mighty big hill to climb if he is going to change that.

Cali is number One! Woo hoo!

That said, Christ Christie is showing the template for a successful De-demunization and Counter-communization Program

75 Google "mt. laurel housing" if you want to begin to understand what he means by "out of control" for three decades.

And I still say it is too late to fix.
Fat man run amok or not.

76 We must kidnap this chubby guy and bring him back to our own benighted land...make Lisa Madigan rub his feet every night after dinner...

What happens if Christie appoints a black conservative justice?

The Commiecrats will make up phony seuxal harrassment charges against the appointee. This has happened before.

78 Another political "bunk" moment from Big Chris.  We need him, or somebody like him, in the White House for 2012.

Justice WallaceÂ’s departure also means that for the first time in 16 years, the court will not have a black justice. If confirmed by the State Senate, Mr. ChristieÂ’s appointment of Anne M. Patterson, a Morris County lawyer, will give the court its first female majority.

This guy is fearless, bucking the teachers union and now the PC notions of "diversity"!  Take note, Michael Steele.  I'm drinking this up like mother's milk. 

79 Michigan and Gullfohnyuh are SOL in the Chris Christie department. Michigan's GOP goober candidates repeat bland platitudes about cutting taxes but expanding higher education, and Cali's GOP goober candidate stacks her infomercial audience with political hacks who ask planted questions.

80 #45, compared to Corzine he ran as a conservative... In the primary, Lonegan was clearly the conservative candidate while Christie ran in sort of an apolitical way... not moderate but certainly not to the right of Lonegan

90 This proves that Christie is a racist and there will be a violent backlash. Now, I saw violence in the 70's (cues tears) in San Fran and I'm afraid we're going to see it on a nationwide level this time. (sniffle, sniffle)

97 Just to expand on The Mt. Laurel decision of '75

This required cities to have low income housing by judicial mandate. In other words, towns were judged to be discriminating against minorities through their zoning laws influence on housing density.

Why this could not apply to Gucci or BMW is beyond my simple mind to understand.

For the past three decades every town in NJ has been in a struggle to maintain some control over development while complying with the new requirement. And the real kicker was, the thing that barry has emulated, that the greedy capitalist were put in a position to enforce this mandate by suing towns to get subsidy's or relaxed zoning on their projects.

You have a nice town with mostly residential 2 acre zoning, good schools and lots of greenery? Racist! Must put high density section 8 housing in center of town right now.

Social justice. spread the wealth around. fuck the taxpayer. destroy that which we can not achieve on our own.

I don't have the numbers in front of me, but Newark gets 22K per student per year. 22K!!!!! m Most of the Abbot funding.

They basically take money from successful schools districts, )can't have that!) and give it to the ones that fail, the more you fail, the more money you get.

Fat man is gonna need a bucket.

 That's a Rubicon, runnringrn.  Only the truly batshit crazy lefties in the Congress would even think about it.  There simply is no politically viable way to disguise grabbing 401(k)'s.

 

 

I thought health care was a Rubicon.  Bastard Democrats passed it without a single Republican vote and with a majority of the public vehemently opposed to it.  I couldn't believe the lying, backroom deals, etc. that it took for these venal jerks to cram this one through.  The Dems do not care.  They know that they are going to lose the midterms, and they are on warp speed to cram everything through they can.  They are basically in lame duck suicide bomber mode. 

121 I am moving to NJ. My governor is blind. Literally.

God bless fat fucks!

122 wow, if you think back to what was talked about and discussed on here about "how people should decide who they will vote for" it seems that Christie is the kind of person you all described.   Look, he promised NJ he would pull it back off the cliff which is no small feat since it is only hanging by a thread so, yeah, the guy has to have some "unpleasantness"  come down.  I think it is just a matter of time before he fails to support some long standing republican.  Then the people of nj will know how serious he really is.  but hey, this is how it has to work.  I would think that no one in NJ is immune and so that's a good thing cause maybe everyone will hunker down, do their jobs, do what is expected of them for the people who elected them.  When you come into town with your white hat and no nonsense attitude and if people think you are "going to clean up the state" then a lot of the state gets cleaned up all by itself when people realize their jobs really are on the line. 

123 119 Rick Perry / Chris Christie 2012 = Rick and the Fat Man

No! He needs to stay in Jersey for two terms to kill the unions and demolish the Dem stranglehold on that state. Remember, he will be a lesson to other worthless welfare and union states nearby. We need him as Gov. now and then use him after that.

Actually, I agree with you, and right after I hit send it occurs to me:
We really want GREAT strong governors - Perry, Christie, Barbour, Jindal - and someone like a Silent Cal in the WhiteHouse. Screw all this focus on Washington. Lets DEVOLVE government back to the states.

125 So looking at the side bar item about the VA AG suing Michael Mann, I see;

The threshold to be sued under Virginia Fraud Against Taxpayers Act is not as high as a fraud case, Kitts said. Essentially, "all you got to do is make a knowingly false statement to get paid with government money," he said.

It would seem to me that Mann is indeed arguably guilty as we know he heavily massaged his data to get his hockey stick. How awesome would it be to see one of the two primary architects of Global Warmism going to jail for his fraud???

126 115 There's a new sheriff in town and his name's Reggie Hammond Chris Christie. Y'all be cool now.

136 O/T:  "One official told the WaPo, "Don't be surprised if you find a foreign nexus.... They're looking at some tell-tale signs and they're saying it's pointing in that direction." According to the Post, Rep. Peter King (R-Long Island), who sits on the House Homeland Security Committee, "said there was no intelligence chatter before or conversation after the car was found -- but warned that that all possibilities must be considered." And Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said that all leads are being pursued.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, "I would say that was intended to terrorize, and I would say that whomever did that would be categorized as a terrorist." The Taliban in Pakistan claimed responsibility for the bomb, but so far officials have said there's no link..

How about IRA's, are they safe or are they next

i read somewhere that 50% of americans own stock in either 401k, IRA, or just personal accounts.

I can't imagine the government could do a grab like that overtly, but we are reaching a point where they need money so badly, they are willing to do the unthinkable.

They did it in Argentina after they defaulted, if I am not mistaken.

153 o/t:  maybe ace and company had some subliminals effect on Olberman as apparently I'm told by one of his fans that he was "the only one to cover the tragedy gong down in Tennessee.  He showed pictures and everything, he really cares, no one else in the national news cares."  said my friend.  Really the grand old oprey is under water and their stadium and the uber wealthy part of Nashville.  found myself wondering last night if Al's house is underwater too.

She can't just come out and say she wishes it was a "teabagger."  In fact, she can't form a coherent sentence.  Standards (and I use the term loosely) are very low at MSDNC.

At this point, Mike Huckabee must be feeling pretty sorry that he lost all that weight his principles.

 

FIFY

156 Oops, upon continuing to read up the thread, I was crediting Dang with Lacey's post.  Sorry about that.

157 The left and their war on obesity is a war on guys that gets things done.


I noticed this when people started bitching about the weight of the Surgeon General.  A look at her resume shows she spent her evenings giving poor (black...) people free/reduced care at a charity clinic.  Lefties would prefer she spend her evenings on a treadmill, helping no one.

In lefty world, it's far better that we use food stamps for organic greens than eat at our desks 'cause there's no time for lunch what with all the layoffs--especially if we're eating bologna sammiches paid for with the bit of money we have left after the government takes their cut.

Bizarre.

I know that there has been several threads devoted to her stupidity, but when she starts pontificating about the Michigan militia, I can't keep from laughing knowing that they were allowed bail, meaning that their case ain't as strong as the feds think. Ah Contessa. Proving once again that you are only given a journalist degree after you fail Women Studies and African American Studies and underwater basket weaving.

I want to see these leftist "womyn" put into cells with Islamunist men who cooperate with us, and have a webcam recording it all. It would sell well, a leftist dupe would have some "multicultural" brainwashing knocked out of her, and a cooperative Gitmo prisoner would be rewarded with a special kind of conjugal visit. Win-win-win.

163 73 That's a Rubicon, runnringrn.  Only the truly batshit crazy lefties in the Congress would even think about it.  There simply is no politically viable way to disguise grabbing 401(k)'s.

They can disguise it in another 4000 + page bill to 'reform' wall street or something, and rush the vote.

By the time it is signed by the potus, we can find out about it at our leisure.

One of my friends is saying that what is happening there is too much rain and the rivers cresting at like 40 feet above normal.  My friend is telling us that a lot of dams in this country are in disrepair and owned privately and that it is just a matter of time before or two of those go and we have similar results.  I have to do some reserch to see if what he is saying is true.  I can't imagine that dams would be privately owned, I mean wouldn't you think they were owned by some part of the government?   And that if they are in disrepair, shouldn't that have been BO's first order of business for his "creating of jobs ot fix the infrastructure"?

Where are you?  Is it me or has the tornado season started early?  And do you ever recall Churchill downs having a track that muddy.  The funniest part was watching the reporter talk about their "ban on umbrellas" and ruining her hat.  I don't know why they banned umbrellas after how they "modernized" the place and took away all the southern charm, barely leaving the two towers you would think umbrellas would go right along with the sterile modernization.

168 I have a hard time believing that Contessa Brewer managed to graduate from Syracuse.

169 Christie loves jersey, that is it in a nutshell. He isn't a carpet bagger, he grew up here and knows the state.  Jersey has a very diverse landscape. It has farms, forests, pine barrens, shore towns, suburbs, mountians, revolutionary war history, etc etc. If you never been to jersey, all you know usually is what you see on TV , like the idiot jersey shore knuckleheads, and the sopranos, but the state is so diverse you can almost pick the scenery you want to live by. Outside of the cities jersey is a very red state. You can tell deep down that Christie loves this place, and he's tired of democrat jerkoffs shitting in his backyard. This is what motivates him, its not a job, its a quest.

People who don't know anything about fifth grade boys or eigth grade girls.  I'm sure the relentless mispronunciation of her name scarred her.

I don't.

Here's something on the 401K theft the Obama administration is considering, it's from Oct 2008.  Unfortunately the link is dead, it was to George Miller's committee on Labor & Education & it's been removed, I happened to have cut & pasted it to a friend in an email 2 years ago:

The link goes to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Labor & Education, chaired by Democratic Representative George Miller of California.  The witness who provided the most startling testimony was Dr. Teresa Ghilarducci, Professor of Economic Policy Analysis The New School for Social Research, she's the fourth link down on the page.  http://tinyurl.com/3ldgjt  Here's a paragraph from her published testimony:

Short term, I propose that since 401(k) accounts and the like are financial

institutions -- the bank about where 38% of the workforce

2 can intend to save for their

retirement -- Congress let workers trade their 401(k) and 401(k) - type plan assets

(perhaps valued at mid-August prices) for a Guaranteed Retirement Account composed

of government bonds (earning a 3% return, adjusted for inflation). When the worker

collects Social Security, the Guaranteed Retirement Account will pay an inflation

adjusted annuity, based on the accumulated funds.

She seems to be suggesting that the 401(k) system be abolished and the funds currently in 401(k) plans be absorbed by the Social Security system. 

 

174 I have a hard time believing that Contessa Brewer managed to graduate from Syracuse.


So do I!

175 Seriously breaking news....another bomb attempt times square!!

176 It can finally be told!  Christie's policies led Times Square war criminal into a life of terrorism, Mayor Bloomberg confirms.

177 Role models in predominately symbolic positions have power which is diminished by a "do what I say, not what I do" hypocrisy

You're accepting the lefty premise that unelected figureheads are "role models" for us unwashed schlubs and they should get to tell the rest of us how to live?

You also conveniently ignored my point.  Pick up a second shift at the free clinic, or go to Whole Foods and buy a whole bunch of raw stuff that needs to be chopped...what will make the world a better place...

178

Here's another link from 2008.  The publication (Financial Times) is out of biz but the website is still up.

 

401(k) plans could be facing total revamp

Lawmakers, candidates calling for rethink of DC plans, die early, lose half your assets?

I heard the news on the radio about Christie, the announcer said he was experiencing "fierce resistance" and that the Senate leader said he would not vote to confirm...

Anyone from NJ know more details?

181 I think Christie could put some learnin' on the national RNC.  We need a guy like this on the national stage for 2012.

182

I found this on KYW1060 website.

"The chief justice criticized the move.  And Senate president Democrat Steve Sweeney is stewing:

"The tragedy here is the New Jersey Supreme Court has a wonderful reputation of being independent.  Now, for the first time in the history of the state, politics has been injected into it."

The Senate must confirm the nomination to fill the seat held by Wallace, who's the Supreme Court's only black member.

Christie has said he would "remake" the court and would refuse to reappoint those justices who he sees as legislators rather than constitutional interpreters."

A wonderful reputation of being independent - says who, Bob Torricelli?

183

ummm, a mfm skullscrew to everyone

that militia actually planned the attack on cops as mentioned in 2008

hmmmm, who was the president in 2008?

184 wow good for you governor christie. i need me some more of that fat guy in a little suit. luv, luv, palin, but christie is giving me a tingle down my leg. if christie can keep it up and change new jersey by 2012, he just might be the leading conservative contender for--dare i say the presidency? keep it up christie, don't become another arnold. and for the love of God new jersey, vote in some conservatives to support your governor.

185

and i would so do christie

well, if he was a chick

and was hot

with big boobies

and long dark wavy hair

and nice legs

186

Dear Gov. Christie,

Please don't have a heart attack.  Please don't have a heart attack.  Please don't have a  heart attack. Please don't have a heart attack. Please don't have a heart atttack. Please don't have a heart attack.  Please don't have a heart attack.  Please don't have a  heart attack. Please don't have a heart attack.

187 That's a nice governor you folks from New Jersey have.  It would be a shame if anything happened to him.

188 60 So far Christie has been amazing, definitely some hints of presidential potential... I am just not sure a superficial country like ours would ever elect an over weight guy no matter how good he was.

Posted by: Drew in MO at May 04, 2010 12:13 PM (j6r2e)

Bill Clinton was not exactly svelte when he was elected

189 Chris Christie-Mitch Daniels in 2012!

Sure, one's morbidly obese and the other one is a dwarf. But they are competent and conservative.

Are the American people really shallow enough that they would reelect 0bama over Christie-Daniels simply because he's tall and thin?

190

What if he doesn't leave?

191

The National Socialists in Germany solved their need for money by sending the Jews off to the camps and stealing all their property. They didn't need all that stuff where they were going.

This crew are Global Socialists....I think troubles afoot.

192 I am loving me some BIG MAN here.. Christie is too big to fail. Christie in 2012.

193

Justice WallaceÂ’s departure also means that for the first time in 16 years, the court will not have a black justice.

Mmmhmm. And Christie doesn't give a fuck. This is what happens when you refuse to play by the left's bullshit rules. You get things done!

Christie gets it. He's breaking the entrenched machinery of the left. This is how you win over the long haul.

194 "So far Christie has been amazing, definitely some hints of presidential potential... I am just not sure a superficial country like ours would ever elect an over weight guy no matter how good he was." by 2012, people will be way past looks and speechifying and wanting the real deal.

195 Christie's the man that Arnold wishes he was...

196

Governor Christie deserves credit for his decision to replace Justice Wallace. But as a conservative in NJ, this is about the only major thing he has given us to cheer about.

His administration is filled with a number of leftists/Democrats. His budget does nothing at all to rein in spending or cut state government. In fact, quite the opposite; his budget actually increases government. And his state aid cuts are going to cause massive property tax hikes.

Christie is long on rhetoric but short on substance.
