Chris Christie responds to N.Y. Sen. Chuck Schumer's criticism on canceling ARC tunnel

New York Sen. Chuck Schumer this morning strongly criticized Gov. Chris Christie for canceling the ARC tunnel project that would have added a new rail tunnel between New Jersey and Manhattan. Schumer, a Democrat, called Christie's choice to kill the so-called access to the region core tunnel a "terrible, terrible decision" and urged the Republican governor to reconsider. But at a press conference in Newark to announce the approval of 23 new charter schools across New Jersey, Christie responded to Schumer's criticism by saying New Jersey would not be able to afford any cost overruns on the project. Christie noted that unless Schumer was able to contribute another $5 billion dollars, he should "mind his manners on the other side of the Hudson River." (Video by Nyier Abdou/The Star-Ledger)

@aubreyfarmer Are you also an expert in the history of Jews who have benefitted the republic? How many Jews gave their lives on both sides of the Civil War? Or the positive influence we've had on the framing of the constitution, in philosophy of John Locke?

Are you also aware of the collaboration of IBM and the Nazi regime during WWII? In addition to other american corporations such as Ford?

I think you may be intelligent, but you are filled with hate, and your hate blinds you.

@rmollot With thousands of hours spent trying to understand the enemy by reading books and visiting sites like The Real Zionist News, the Nader Library, The International Jew by Henry Ford and reading hundreds of quotes by famous statesmen, industrialists and politicians I know a hell of a lot more about Zionism, Talmudic Judaism and Kabballah than 98% of the population and that includes you or otherwise you would not be so disrespectful to your intellectual superior.Go ahead and laugh dumbass.

[aubreyfarmer]

Your ignorance and the ignorance of millions like you will be the thing that brings about the destruction of this Republic. Go to iahushua.com/JQ/436quote1.html

@aubreyfarmer the problems with America stem from our tolerance of mexicans, and arabs and africans. No nation can withstand 'multiculturalism', however being Jewish isn't a problem, the problem is liberalism and the entitlement mentality. The problem is allowing a mexican or a muslim to live here on the governments dime. The problem is a bunch of lazy whiny syncophants and academics who think they have the right to tell every one else what the constitution means. Don't hate the jews, biggot
