Amen to that! And with these numbers it's something that should be doable because the people will back the vote in Congress.
God bless Governor Christie, the Republicans should learn from him.
For several years now, I've been wanting electoral Republicans to take a confrontational approach to the media. Meaning:
1. Don't be afraid of them. Never pander to them.
2. Firmly take issue with them when they're out of line
3. Make fun of their bias when it's exposed.
So far, Christie seems the only one who's recognized how to deal with them.
The fact of the matter is a.) Republicans will never be able to neutralize the media -- much less make them allies (are you listening John McCain?) and b.) the alternative media now provides them with a channel that will actually root for them in media confrontations. It's what we want to hear.
Polls indicate that the journalism profession is held in even less repute than the legal profession -- or politicians. And even the moderate/independents recognize that the press has an agenda. How can a Republican lose in this environment...unless they curl up like an armadillo?
From your keyboard to our Representatives mouths!
Several national columnists have written that almost every politician in the nation, Republican AND Democrat, have their eyes focused on New Jersey. If Christie succeeds in defeating the public pigs (read: unions), then they know the national public will catch on.
Christie also does something different from other politicians - he answers the question he is asked.
He also tells it like it is.
Bump!
“The Lifetime Marriage Tax
Annual penalties actually understate the depth of the anti-marriage bias in the Senate bill. The bill’s wedding tax is perpetual. Penalties against married couples add up year after year as long as the couple remains married. Some couples who remained married throughout their adult lives would face cumulative penalties of over $200,000 during the course of their marriage.”

That was beautiful, it's a shame we don't have more elected officials like him. It wouldn't surprise me to find out she is an NEA official of some kind.

Believe it. We have over 160 school administrators in this state making over a quarter million dollars per year. We have over 8000 administrators/teachers earning more than $100K.
In my kids' K-3 school of less than 450 kids, the principal earns $153K. Out of 40 admin/teachers there, 38 earn >$50K, 20 earn >$60K, 8 earn >$80K. This is for 9 MONTHS WORK! There is no more slop for the trough." From the YouTube comments in re Chris Christie & the angry 'teacher'
