Palin to Christie: Real Courage is cutting when you have a surplus – like I did

The Right Scoop ^ | March 4, 2011 | The Right Scoop

Palin says that Christie is forced to cut budgets because NJ is broke. But she points out that when she became Governor of Alaska, she cut even though she had a surplus:

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Picking a fight w chistie is stupid.

Since you ignored my links earlier, Christie was the one who picked the fight with her.

The media likes christie generally and will further hammer her over this.

Oh, so the media wouldn't hammer her anyway?

[altura]

wrong on both counts, stormer.

However, I did put you on the list as you requested.

[altura]

What name did I call you?

When did I insult you?

I’m always amused that you Palin haters always resort to name calling or insults or just plain nonsensical mutterings.

Nonsensical mutterings are one of my specialties but insults and name calling ... not so much.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

And, in spite of all the name calling (not by you) on this thread, not one freeper has addressed her lame-duck excuse for quitting.

Because we've hashed it out on countless threads with you already. And you're one of the most dishonest of the PDS trolls. You want to treat this like it's a brand new issue on each and every Palin thread. And you're the one who continues to post this particular lib talking point over and over and over again.

The stink of DU and KOS is upon you.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I note that you, like every other palinite, have totally ignored her "lame duck" excuse.

That's another one of your complete lies.

Well, I’m not fool enough to believe that Sarah, or any other human being, can do no wrong! Again, though, I don’t think that the other good potential candidates, Bachmann, Bolton, Cain, DeMint, Jindal have a chance. If things change, I’m willing to listen to arguments. Right now, PF, I would never support Romney, Huckabee, Gingrich or Trump over her, and I think that these four exhaust the domain of those who have ANY chance of surviving the nominating process. Imagine the paucity of volunteerism if Romney wins! Barf me. Bob

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Right, another cut-and-run Politico hit piece.

Now there's true and up front impartiality for you.....

What's next, more “truth” from Huffington Post?

By the way, are those pointless personal insults you frequently make, really necessary? They greatly leech all civil credibility away from any point you are attempting to make.

[Huck]

And hence, by virtue of your admission, all the PDS activity on this board.

Nah, this is just discussion. I'm talking about the actual primaries--debates and votes. Stuff that matters. Not just us chewing the fat.

[McGruff]

I don't know if you were around for Fred Thompson mania. But Palin mania started out the same way, and with mostly the same people, but it turned into Fred to the nth power. Irrational.

I would consider that a complement as would a majority of FReepers.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I fully understand your position. I also respect your thoughts and opinion. I base mine on facts and logical impartiality and express them as such.

I also do not like those same candidates you mentioned you don't like. Gingrich and Romney in particular. Here again, we find ourselves headed for another 2008 Train wreck!

I surely hope a truly Conservative candidate comes out who we can win with. That candidate will still have to be able to appeal to ALL voters, not just a few fringe fanatics. It's a tough situation we find ourselves in, once again!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

She cut and ran from the fight.

A lie of all lies...

Palin doubles down on 'death panels'

Palin to Bernanke: ‘Cease and Desist’

[Huck]

I would consider that a complement as would a majority of FReepers.

Irrationality, or emotionally-charged support for an unmotivated, McCain-supporting candidate destined for defeat?

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Your're right about that. She took JD's out here in Arizona & our borders are less secure because of it.

You mean THIS guy?

JD Hayworth Infomercial: Free money! You never have to pay it back!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

It's quite obvious why Palin quit. She was planning a Lecture, Book Writing, FOX News Contributor, Money making career that paid Millions, without all the other hassle's. She wasted no time in paying off her debts that her own actions created for her in the first place.

More lies from yet another slimy PDS troll.

[Brices Crossroads]

The governor’s smackdown of Christie really needs no amplification. It was pitch perfect. The trolls will never be pacified, and who cares? It will be the same talking points. She quit. Alaska is a small state, population wise. Yada yada yada.

My answer: I hope Christie decides to enter the race and cuts the Hamlet routine. If he does, he is going to have a lot of ‘splaining to do. Not just the Ground Zero mosque, Mike Castle, cap and tax and assorted other poison pills, but his very sordid record as U.S. Attorney in New Jersey. Until I began to read up on him, I had no idea of the extent of his double dealing with no bid contracts to other prosecutors who did him and his corrupt brother official favors.

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/26/nyregion/26christie.html

“Christie has been accused of using his office’s role in crafting deferred prosecution agreements to award lucrative federal monitoring positions in no-bid contracts to friends, supporters, and allies. Questions first arose after Christie awarded a multimillion dollar, no-bid contract to David Kelley, another former U.S. Attorney, who had investigated Christie’s brother, Todd Christie, in a 2005 fraud case involving traders at the Wall Street firm, Spear, Leeds & Kellogg. Kelley had declined to prosecute Todd Christie, who had been ranked fourth in the investigation-initiating U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) complaint among twenty traders who earned the largest profits for their company at the expense of their customers. The top three were indicted, as were eleven other traders.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Christie#cite_note-21

Moreover, his self dealing with his assistants, and his efforts to conceal it stink to high heaven. I am very familiar with how U.S. Attorney’s offices work and I have never seen anything like this in my life:

“On August 18, 2009, Christie acknowledged that he had loaned $46,000 to first assistant U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Michele Brown two years ago, while serving as her superior as the state’s U.S. attorney, and that he had failed to report either the loan or its monthly $500 interest payments on both his income tax returns and his mandatory financial disclosure report to the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission. In response to the disclosure of the financial relationship between Christie and Brown, State Senator Loretta Weinberg, the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, called on Brown to recuse herself from the task of retrieving U.S. Attorney’s Office records requested by the Corzine campaign under the Freedom of Information Act.On August 25, 2009, Brown resigned from her post, stating that she does not want to be “a distraction” for the office.”

While he was U.S. Attorney, Christie had established a business relationship with his First Assistant, Michele Brown, who was the acting U. S. Attorney when he resigned, which he concealed both on his tax returns and his financial disclosure forms, and when he is running for Governor, she is the one who decides what documents will be released by the U.S. Attorney’s office in response to a Freedom of Information Act request seeking information on his activities as U.S. Attorney. How very convenient!

I had no idea that, when the voters of New Jersey elected Christie over the thoroughly corrupt Corzine, they were choosing the lesser of two evils. And, from the looks of Christie’s record, not by much.

And there is plenty more where that came from. As little as Sarah Palin has in common with Christie politically, they are even more dissimilar ethically. So if Christie wants to enter and cut the corpulent braggadocio, let him do so. Palin will lance him like the overripe melon he is.

I’m always amused that you Palin haters always resort to name calling or insults or just plain nonsensical mutterings

LOL! you just violated the very issue you are accusing others of yourself. But even more hilarious, you did so in the same sentence! I've seen examples of denial here in the past, but man, this is downright embarrassing.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Thanks for verifying the accuracy of my assessment.

One can always gage the degree of accuracy of an opinion on these threads, by the degree of vile, vitriolic vomit regurgitated from the mouths of those who see deep personal insults as some form of domination or correct thinking.

[TXConservative25]

If you’re actually dumb enough to think candidates who that support a $700 billion handout to failed banks are actually conservative, I could really not give a crap what you think.

Once you stop lying about the facts will I then actually care what you think.

[going hot]

I was wondering. You stated earlier that the media onslought on Sarah would be relentless (paraphrased).

Then on another post you hoped a true conservative would appear, one that could beat the resident.

Question:Do you believe the media would be any less relentless on a "true" conservative than you expect them to be on Sarah?

Is there any possible candidate out there with the slightest of conservative credentials that would not be handled similar to a rabbit by a bunch of coyotes?

Palin may or may not win the primaries, that is their purpose. But whoever takes the primaries, will be processed through a shredder, and that is a fact.

CHRISTIE: ""I think if she wants to prove she's ready for this, you've got to have some unscripted moments."

Christie: Palin needs 'unscripted moments' to prove she's serious

PALIN: "Real courage is cutting your budget when you have a surplus, like I did. With all due respect to Governor Christie, you know, he has no choice but to cut budgets because he's broke. His state is broke."

The squeals and outrage around the 'net from the RINOs and PDS'ers this morning is absolutely comical. Like you said you were hoping for, Chris Christie and his big mouth needs to man up and run. Everybody needs to run. What a hoot it will be. :)

BTW, Mark Levin was thrilled with Palin's FBN remarks on Christie last night.
