— Dave in Texas With the veto pen, all over a tax increase. When he moves, he slices like a f'n hammer.
Go read his letter, it's so good. My favorite excerpt:
The citizens of New Jersey have seen their taxes go up one hundred and fifteen (115) times over the last 8 years. Today, I act so that it will not occur for the one hundred and sixteenth (116th) time. After the dual failures of out-of-control State spending and the inability to curb a 70% rise in property taxes over the last 10 years, the supporters of this bill want to continue down the path of ever higher taxes, which has crippled our stateÂ’s economy and led to even more job losses. I'm on an integrity kick. Do you know where I'm coming from with integrity? Do you like your jobs? Well do you?
Kind of a rush post, busy day at work, I mighta messed up the quote.

I wouldn't go that far, but I'd at least want to have Christie's babies if that were biologically possible. The reasons why Rush has a man-crush on this guy are so obvious.

From the text of Christie's veto:
"As I have publicly stated on numerous occasions, New Jersey does not have a revenue problem; it has a spending problem."

"What took you so long ?" asked Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak.
Christie sat at a wooden desk emblazoned with the seal of the state of New Jersey and swiftly signed vetoes.
Even Christie's staff are teh awesome. They've learned well from their master.

How is that a tax "cut?"
Coupling tax increases with a "rebate program" is not a tax cut in itself, jackass.
And what does that have to do with Christie's veto? He just stopped hard-working, productive taxpayers from getting yet another shaft via the NJ gov't.

So here's the deal. For the next 6 months lay low. Above all, don't make yourself a lightning rod by vetoing bills. Instead, every other sentence should be "unemployment is at 9.9%" and that should be followed by "we need to promote private business in order to create jobs". There, that's the plan for the next 6 months.No more wise cracking over the budgets and taxes.

Dopey...like BlackOrchid said above, the rebate was restrictive to income levels, marital status and zip code and amounted to no more that 300-400 bucks per houshold. It probably cost more to implement the program than it benefited in any kind of stimulus. The only thing it was useful for was a talking point and a campaign slogan to dupe dummies like yourself.

Those "targeting" property tax rebate ploys are crap. They just exist to pander to a selective voting group while screwing everybody else. And as Gov. Christie pointed out, once "temporary" tax increases are passed, they get extended for all eternity.
If the Dems in NJ were serious about cutting taxes, they'd pass a bill to immediately cut property taxes 20-30% (at least) across the board, regardless of income. Now that's a bill Gov. Christie would sign within 2 minutes.

Posted by: Maureen Dowd at May 21, 2010 08:08 AM (CfmlF)
so he should sign tax increases or just let them become law without his signature?
In the fall, the demonrats and drive-by media will be running ads saying 'look, he pledged to reduce spending and cut taxes, and instead has raised them'?
That sounds like advice that the DNC would give.
Chris Christie's message rings true with a great number of people. There is no laying low - this guy is doing EXACTLY what he said he would do. Now it goes back to the NJ legislature. The ball is in their court and they eat the shit sandwich if they override his veto and raise taxes and/or spending.
This is EXACTLY what Conservatives need to be doing.

The libs here in Virginia have been trying this on McDonnell. Kaine in his last budget had all kinds of tax increases, McDonnell said no. Now he is getting rid of state government waste and the libs are pissed. Whenever there is a "protest" against any spending cuts, it is always just the NEA, VEA, and other teacher groups protesting, and that is it. The TAXPAYERS are not protesting, just the pigs that suckle on the teet.

Rush reading that 61% of people think latinos are discriminated against, 52% think blacks are.
Right on cue, latinos pass blacks as the most discriminated against poll.
From what I see, the blacks discriminate against the latinos more than the white people do.
Actually, I think that white people are the most discriminated against, so there.

Just really hit me, after reading this, and the last couple of Rand threads...
Some of you are quite willing to appologise to the MSM for doing or saying the RIGHT thing... instead of just sticking to Principles.
If'n you, and the rest of the Rights, were not so fast to appologise, it would take much of their ammunition away.
Posted by: Romeo13 at May 21, 2010 08:35 AM (OlHjR)
So here's the deal. For the next 6 months lay low. Above all, don't make yourself a lightning rod by vetoing bills
Respectfully, he should do just the opposite. He should underscore the tired, counter-productive tactic of attacking sements of the population to benefit ploicymakers and entrenched pressure groups. He should seek out those 16,000 people who would have been unfairly singled out, and ask them on how to increase job opportunities. If successful, he can prove that he got that money, and more out of those 16,000, and he didn't have to be a thug to do it. Because that's what governors do. it's what Obama might have done, if he was willing to listen to someone besides Bill Ayers and crapdragon.

Rand Paul on ABC this morning:
"I've just been trashed up and down and they have been saying things that are untrue. And when they say I'm for repealing the Civil Rights Act, it's absolutely false. It's never been my position and something that I basically just think is politics."

Rand leaned into that punch when the entire topic is purely hypothetical and skewed to play right into the hands of the libs in that it was about their one topic: racism. It's hard for me to see how you can make that out as smart no matter how hard you squint. I dislike ahistoical navel gazing since it requires one to answer the meaningless question of if things were different, how different would things be?
But, just in case it comes up, I would like to put on the record that I would have supported the Declaration of Independence.
P.S. I have strong libertarian leanings but you've got to pick your fights. Rand chose to die on the Civil Rights Act of 1964 hill.

Posted by: alexthechick at May 21, 2010 12:48 PM (8WZWv) Fatal 3-truck crash shuts 26 miles of NJ Turnpike Published: 5/21/10, 12:25 PM EDT
CHESTERFIELD, N.J. (AP) - A fatal accident involving three trucks closed a 26-mile stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike's northbound lanes in southern New Jersey for nearly eight hours.
State police say the crash involved a box truck, a dump truck and a tanker carrying 8,000 of kerosene and occurred around 1 a.m. Friday in Chesterfield, south of Trenton.
Turnpike Authority spokesman Joe Orlando says officials believe the box truck rear-ended the tanker.
Orlando says the box truck driver was killed and the tanker driver injured.
Orlando says the highway reopened at 9 a.m., but one of the three lanes will remain closed until workers repair guard rail and clean up the fuel that leaked from the tanker.
The turnpike is a major connector of New York City to points south.

I'm not apologizing to anybody for anything. The fact that he allowed himself to be bushwacked by a vicious harpy like Madcow does not speak well of his intelligence. Nor does engaging Madcow in a discussion of a long dead issue. When asked about his position on the CRA of 1964, he might have responded by asking her what her position was on the Compromise of 1850.

As I said in Gabe's thread. We are always looking for someone who will fight the leftists punch for punch...and Rand is doing just that not unlike our boy Christie. Did he pick the right fight, maybe not but we have to go toe to toe with these statists. This dust-up will pass by the time Djou wins tomorrow and we'll be discussing yet another outrage conjured up by the MFM. Rand will get himself in trouble if he goes in the direction of his father ie. isolationism, defense cuts, jabs at Israel blah blah blah.

It's the double standard that republicans seem to just accept.

I like Chris Christie. Interesting how his weight is such an issue that it has to be part of the title of a post. CNBC is having one of their big specials on OBESITY this week and MO is ratcheting up the rhetoric on her obesity campaign. Pretty soon I'm expecting them to jail anyone who has an extra millimeter of fat on them
Aha! Michelle's the Obama administration's secret weapon to take down Christie. Have him arrested for crimes committed against the scale. He's a bad example for our fat children, he must be removed from office so they don't equate being fat with posessing power. He will be impeached based on his BMI. Oh, and the irony of having the big guy taken down by the First Wookie and her fabulous toned arms...

The ABC host repeatedly touted liberal spin, prompting the Republican to mock, "Where do your talking points come from? The Democrat National Committee. They also come from Rachel Maddow and MSNBC."

Yeah, that blue, off the shoulder, boob squeezing gown seemed a trifle "un-First-Lady-like" to me. I don't ever recall seeing a picture of a FLOTUS wearing a dress that pinched up a cleavage. And her arms looked shiny/greasy like they were lubed up with something. She looked like a bruise, black and blue.

Dennis Miller had a caller this week who hit the nail on the head. After the first Obama official admitted he hadn't read the AZ law, you'd think they'd all be ordered to read the damn thing or at least not admit they hadn't read it. Nope. After Holder, Big Sis and two add'l ijits said they hadn't read it. The caller thought they were going for plausible deniability.

- "rise" (as shown by their insane drive to global warming, and then renaming "warming" as "change")
- "property" (dems only know of common property, and even that, to dems, is really owned by the government, which is nice enough to allow some people to use it)
- "10 years" (dems have no sense of history, at all)

Brewer's failing us on the tax front. Supported Prop 100, which passed due to the propaganda they spewed about it being "for the children and our safety!!!eleventy!" Last time they did this, the money was mishandled and didn't go where they promised, so why do it again? To line their wallets. (Go ahead, ask me about the firefighters....)
Christie probably would not have stood for this shit.
