Chris Christie Rocks on Taxes

[Conan71]

Nope.  Got it from my own wittle bitty eyes and ears.  

If you look around, a position like Christie's on Park51 is pretty out of sync within the GOP these days, or at least the people speaking publicly for the party.

Can you think of anyone else who's come out with Christie's opinion?  

"Given my last position, that I was the first U.S attorney post 9/11 in New Jersey, I understand acutely the pain and sorrow and upset of the family members who lost loved ones that day at the hands of radical Muslim extremists...

We cannot paint all of Islam with that brush. ...We have to bring people together. And what offends me the most about all this is that it's being used as a political football by both parties."

What is so objectionable to Gov. Christie's approach?  You seem to think all Repugnicans look like this:

[we vs us]

I don't think anything's objectionable about his position in the least.  I think it's eminently reasonable.  I think that the people driving the Republican Party are demanding more and more purity of belief as time goes on.  This is why you see McCain being more and more tin-eared and crazy-sounding, why Arlen Specter switched parties, etc etc.

Meh, that's Olbermann, Matthews, and Madcow logic.  Let me guess, you consider that Beck, Limpbaugh, and former Gov. Palin are driving the GOP, right?

Why bother with facts when you can attack someone's appearance?

Are you attacking me or Schultz?

Christie REALLY rocks on education reform. Looks like he wants to do away with longevity tenure and make teachers pass reading and math tests. The shock, I mean, teachers being able to read?

It's interesting that his version of reform focuses solely on teachers unions.

Funny, I thought he was focusing on improving the quality of teachers, unless of course you have no problem with illiterate people that cannot balance a checkbook educating our nation's children.

Work on solving the biggest problem first. Put too much on the table and no one will know where to start.

What do you think we have computers for?

Going after core personnel isn't a lot on the table?

Perhaps I should have said important problem rather than biggest.
If you want a cool drive (in the summer) to a vacation destination and your car has a broken air conditioner and no gas,  fixing the air conditioner without adding some fuel to the tank won't get you to your destination.

If your kids aren't learning in school, it's probably not the color of the paint in the hall causing them to not learn.  If the core is rotten, get a new core.

(CNN) -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie killed plans for a new train tunnel to connect his state with New York's Manhattan island Thursday, saying billions of dollars in possible cost overruns made the project "completely unthinkable."

I wonder if it was a good thing or a bad thing in the long run.  Bummer they have already blown $600,000,000.

We sure could use that money.
