Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Chrissie’s finished.
That’s more like it, Christie!
I was in a union for 11 years - never again. If the union leadership spent half the time working that they did trying to “get back” at management, they might have earned half their pay. I have a few war stories to tell from those years, but suffice to say that the utilities from the south that were given the ultimatum of joining the union did the right thing by turning back.
If they're protesting my help in NJ then I'm not going in there...period.
“Chrissie’s finished.”
Christie will beat any challenger; he represents NJ taxpayers well. Even libs know that without him NJ just becomes a mini-California, with massive numbers of people reaching their hands into an ever-shrinking public till.
I posted this yesterday on another thread:
“I have two sons pulling up to 22 hour shifts, one guarding downed power lines in Monmouth County, the other trying to get the phone system up at the Seaside Heights police station. One got his home’s power restored yesterday in Toms River, and one is still without power in Lakehurst.
They have put up with no heat, no gasoline, no showers—yet they get up each morning to do their best in the face of utter devastation.
We live in southern DE, and we got through Sandy with very few problems.
This afternoon we were in Dover, DE, and saw a fifteen truck convoy from Chain Electric from somewhere in Mississippi heading north
Well,I lost it, knowing they were on the way to help my sons and so many others in NY and Nj who need them so much. God bless them for coming to help, it was like watching the Cavalry come to the rescue.
Even the Mafia and the unions know better than to piss off millions of Jerseyans.
When I heard about this story this morning, I emailed Gov. Christie, sent the article to Fox and Friends, called .congressman ,Chris Smith’s office, called Senator Frank Lautenburg’s office and even called Sen. Jeff Sessions of AL’s office to investigate this.
NJ needs all the help they can get, and let me tell you, they are grateful,for all of it.”
The union goombas aren’t ‘fessing up, but they got caught.
And Christie will have none of it.
It’s hard to be in charge when a disaster hits. People will associate failure with responsibility, even though there were few intervention opportunities.
Well, Christie has jumped the shark as far as I am concerned as a trustworthy national Republican figure. His overt sucking up to Obama over Sandy shows he is all flash of light and no thunder when the rubber meets the road.
thank you my friend. my feelings exactly.
You don’t know what your talking about.
You don’t know what your talking about.
Own it Christie. Dispense with the CYA, apologize and vow to prevent it from happening again, rather than coming across sounding as if you’re calling Decatur Utilities liars. There is audio, you know. Played on Hannity. You have national political ambition. Southerners are very willing to help people in need. But, we also have long memories.
Do the honorable thing rather than besmirch the honor of others.
Give your mom and dad a big hug from me. I am sorry their home flooded. We almost suffered the same fate here, but were spared.
I know your hometown has suffered greatly. We cannot believe the pictures from Brick, Seaside Heights and the barrier islands in Jersey.
NJ folks are the best, and you are at the top of the list.
God bless you and strengthen you.
Obama didn't help NJ one bit.
I heard it yesterday - wish I could find it on the 'net. It's presents the exact impression of union leadership that I have gotten over the years. The membership - not too many problems with most of them, but the union leadership - bunch of communist morons IMHO.
“You have national political ambition.”
I seriously doubt that; a governor has more power than a representative or a senator (a chief instead of one of many braves). There is nothing to indicate Christie has any appeal outside of a high-tax socialist toilet (where he is needed to fix things); too much of this country doesn’t have the problems Christie is designed to fix.
“We cannot believe the pictures from Brick, Seaside Heights and the barrier islands in Jersey.”
The aerial shot of the bridge connecting to the washed-out section of the islands (basically splitting an island in two, and leaving one shattered home on a tiny island in the middle) is incredible. The burned homes in Mantoloking are something else as well...
