GLENN: Okay. So Chris Christie, who I believe should be the next president of the United States as long as, as long as he keeps doing what he's doing and saying what he's saying. This guy is — he is telling the truth, he is unafraid, he is taking them on and taking them down.
PAT: The other great thing is he's explaining it to the people of New Jersey. Yes, his poll numbers are still slipping, but he's out there in front of groups and in front of the press and he's telling them why he must do all these things.
GLENN: See, this is the problem.
PAT: This is what the Republicans don't do. They are not good at it.
GLENN: You don't have anybody — and this is the problem. You don't have the money, you don't have the media, you don't have the Media Matters. The Huffington Post. You know, all the right has is talk radio. That's it. When you see the forces arrayed against you that we were just doing the commercial for Freedom Works, that's what I meant by that. When you see the forces arrayed against you, it is staggering.
PAT: It's all of the mainstream media.
GLENN: Yeah, all of it. It's absolutely all of it. And they just keep gobbling more. How is this guy going to get out? You know, he's alone. It's amazing to me. You can hear Marxism from a hundred sources, but you've got to go to maybe two, three, four sources to be able to hear somebody say this.
CHRISTIE: In responding to that, you look at the context of the quote. I said that Senator Lesniak AND Senator Kean's bill on the Educational Opportunity Scholarship Act is not the final solution to New Jersey's problems in education. It's just the beginning. This is an organization that is so devoid of a publicly supportable agenda that they are now reaching for every word to take them out of context and try to make something out of nothing when in the end what they are trying to recoup from is their very clear statements that they prayed for me to die and they are still attempting to find something that I say publicly that they can analogize to that. They are now 0 for 3 in that regard. So enough with the NJEA, okay? They should get back to the agenda that town councils are grappling with right now. 58% of New Jersey's school budgets were rejected because the public is tired, tired of ever escalating property taxes, they are tired of people not being willing to join in the shared sacrifice. So let me tell you something else. These guys and women standing behind me who are working to try to get jobs and who pay for a large portion of their own healthcare and who contribute mightily towards retirement, I'm not speaking for them but I have a sense that they are tired of paying for public employees who contribute nothing to their healthcare and who are getting 4 and 5% salary increases at a time of 0% inflation.
GLENN: This guy is —
PAT: Fantastic.
GLENN: The best, the best.
PAT: Did he take it. He will not take it and he doesn't care. I mean, he knows his poll numbers are going down. He knows he's up against the New Jersey education association. Machine, machine.
GLENN: He knows that if you want to survive, if you want to survive, you have to start engaging in common sense. Look, this is going to hurt all of us. It's going to hurt all of us. But I am — you know, he is exactly right. I am so sick and tired of paying — do you know that the jobs that they are creating now, 430,000 of them, only 41 are in the private sector. That means you are paying for all of the other jobs. Why are we paying the public sector jobs almost twice as much money as you can get in the public sector — or in the private sector? Why? Don't tell me about service. These teachers stand up, "Well, we just have — we serve. No, you don't. You wouldn't be screaming about this. Service, since when is service twice, twice the pay scale as those who are working? I want you to understand I have nothing against teachers. I have something against bad teachers. But really the thing I have a problem with bad teachers is you can't fire them. My real problem is with the unions. The ride is over. It's over.

You’re right. I’ve stopped listening and watching, now I’ll stop posting about his shows. He’s such an ass clown. This will be my last post forever about him.
giggle. Thanks, I was thinking Pat Caddell for whatever reason??? crazy
YOU ALL CAN’T HAVE HIM UNTIL HE SERVES TWO TERMS IN JERSEY!
I hope when he leaves he will have broken the back of the NJEA, leading the free world will be like child’s play after that.
Its all over , Socialists of America!
The Fat Man is Singing your swan song.
Sheriff Joe as Homeland Security. Much as I like him, I want somebody with direct military command experience as SecDef. Maybe Petreus would be interested.
