Governor Christie: They Said It Couldn't Be Done

[MrBlukat]

I moved out of NJ 4 years ago to Illinois because of the high property taxes. I sure do wish Christie was in office then. I would probably not have left.

[veritasis1776]

Wasn't the $11 Billion shortfall based on fully funding everything: fully funding the pension payment, fully fund the school formula,and fully funding all homestead rebates back to the original funding formula?

Has the pension system been funded at all?

[Kazakor]

I can't believe I am about to say this, but here it goes: I wish I lived in New Jersey. Yep, Gov. Christie has accomplished the impossible. I am so inspired by this man's intelligence, courage and integrity, that I am jealous of the people who live in his state because they have the opportunity to be led by the only politician this country has who deserves the respect and admiration of the voters.

[ThePete65]

No we need him in NJ

[evanroo27]

I am not from New Jersey, but what he's doing, is really working up there. I truly commend the state of New Jersey and Chris Christie for what they are doing. He is a far cry from Corzine, that's for sure!

[kfuzzman]

Christie is the best thing to happen to NJ. I am in a union and work at a water utility plant and would gladly give up my job for the private sector if there was a position. There is dead wood in the unions. Christie, cut the pensions and benefits if you need to save NJ. I just want my kids to have what I had “A chance at the American dream”.

[the82spartans]

ZERObama says we can't secure the border because its too big.

I wonder if Christie has the 'YES WE CAN' attitude for 2012? Hmmmm.

[asphyxiafeeling]

GO CHRIS CHRISTIE! PLEASE CONSIDER RUNNING 2012! AMERICA NEEDS YOU!!!!

[LtPylon]

Can New York hire Governor Christie as a consultant, please?  New York can't seem to figure out that the road to a solvent, responsible state government is wiser spending, and not taxing the living crap out of residents.

[Halo4Lyf]

@LtPylon New York will correct itself eventually. Unfortunately, that correction will probably be a total collapse of state and many city governments, probably a few months after California goes tits up.

It's kind of like what a paramedic friend of mine once told me, "Everyone stops bleeding eventually."

[johnsmithvideo]

Chris Christie is AWESOME!

[johnsmithvideo]

The governments do not have a revenue problem, they have a taxing and spending problem. Finally, someone is going against New Jersey's Democratic establishment and fighting the taxing and spending policies that have plagued Trenton for decades.

If the Democrats fail to put Cap 2.5 on the ballot, they will suffer an embarrassing defeat at the polls.

GO CHRISTIE GO!

[TheLibertariansUnite]

I already called my Assemblyman Chivakula in District 17.

They Ask for your Name, Address, and what your concern is.

Tell them you're in favor of Christie's 2.5 cap and that you want it on the ballot. If they ask why like his secretary asked me, tell them Sweeny's is a piece of shit, it's no good, there are too many loopholes.

[sugarkang]

Fucking facebook this shit and get the word out.

[redcarpeg]

It is with great pleasure that I exercise my freedom to Like what Governor Christie has to say! Now, if I can just vote in a Governor who will do the same...

[sugarkang]

We need you in CALIFORNIA

[gitfiddleplayer01]

I live in Cali, you have to respect a guy who serves the people and not himself. What a great example of what a public servant is. Governor Christie is a leader, we need men and women who will put the voters first.

[tolynette]

God speed, Gov!  N.J. is very fortunate to have you!

[luisman2008]

TO BE VERY HONEST TO ALL OF U...I'M A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT FROM CALIFORNIA WHO SOME OF U MIGHT THINK THAT I MIGHT BE AGAINST THIS WHOLE THING, BUT NOT TODAY. THIS CAP 2.5 THAT GOV. CHRISTIE HAD JUST SIGN MIGHT ACTUALLY BE GOOD AND PROMISING. SINCE I'M SUPPORTING FOR JERRY BROWN FOR GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, I THINK HE SHOULD FOLLOW THIS TECHNIQUE. IN GENERAL I THINK ALL GOVERNORS ACROSS THE U.S., DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, WHETHER LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE SHOULD TRY THIS PLAN OUT.

[TrayWiks]

@luisman2008 Very noble, you are absolutly right.

[starVol]

What a difference when compared to this arrogant Barah Obummer character. One is competent, the other is Childish and arrogant.

[BeantownJim]

good man! come fix mass!

[Cactusifyable]

Anyone who opposes Cap 2.5 is an enabler. They're enabling Trenton's addiction to our tax dollars.

[snakeoil24]

Governor you are a really good guy. You have guts and are very good. Looks like we have our new Ronald Regan

[TheAmericanRifleman]

2A victory on Monday and this today. It's shaping up to be a nice week before the Independance celebration.

[saclover]

what gives here ??? an honest politician ??? sweet

[TheLibertariansUnite]

WE LOVE YOU CHRIS CHRISTIE WE SUPPORT YOU 1000%!!!!

IF THEY DON'T PUT 2.5 ON THE BALLOT THE DEMOCRATS WILL BE ANNIHILATED LATER!!!

BLAME THEM FOR ANY PROPERTY TAX INCREASE, KEEP THE PRESSURE UP, AND EXPOSE THEM AS THE TRAITORS TO THE PEOPLE THAT THEY REPRESENT.

[Flamesdupont]

I wish he would move to Fla and be our governor

[RussPaladino]

You Rock!!! Come fix NY next. PLEASE!!!

[Raycheetah]

Congratulations, NJ! =^[.]^=

[wow0909wow]

He is a man who speaks the truth, who operates from a system, who knows we cannot give away the store becuase it "feels good". A system needs rules to work. Bravo Gov. Christie. Support Meg Whitman in CA - she needs to operate as you do.

[tjdev1ous]

Your the Man!

[NWsubmom]

Please Gov Christie run for President in 2012!

Please SAVE AMERICA before Obama destroy's it.

[kmg501]

Go Christie! Now hopefully people are doing their part because everyone must speak up to get this done.
