Too bad congress crapped on our relief funds, I bet the red state tornado guys get the cash though, no obstruction or fillibusters at all!

What party lines? A crap neighborhood in NJ. There is no party lines. Hurricane Sandy has nothing to do with my question. Obama is not mentioned. What is Christie doing about this neighborhood?

anyone notice how they called in drones to help find Christopher Dorner?

they went so far as to label him as a "Domestic Terrorist" at one point

how much further does this need to be pushed before you end up with a situation where a man on the run is labeled a domestic terrorist and gets a bomb dropped on him?

then the state tells the people "He was a bad guy, he was a domestic terrorist! we had to do this we had no choice"

how long before the people start buying those explanations as acceptable?

it is then... when it is not questioned or really thought about that anyone who questions the government, questions the president, questions authority - whatever - is suddenly a violent domestic terrorist and should be drone-smashed

Like it or not...

The "they" here was the LAPD, who have come under massive criticism for how they handled this. Nobody further up the food chain considered Dorner a terrorist.

He put a cap on property taxes, which NJ is highest in the nation on, My taxes rise every year, thanks to school unions, fleecing the taxpayers with no kids...

He stood up for NJ citizens getting screwed by insurance companies, and congress, when anytime a thunderstorm farts in a southern state, they get the dollars no freaking problem.

But with a blue state, it is a problem...

I can go on and on. He also adresses people in open town halls, no prescreened questions, or prescreened admissions, he talks to people on the radio weekly. adresses concerns, and even solves some citizens problems instantly, using his connections.

I live in NJ. I know what he has done, and I am making more money in his term. My property taxes actually stabilzed, rather than going up, as my house value dropped.

Once again I live in NJ, and go ahead make a stinky joke, but he has turned this state around, despite partisan crap.

(by the way I am left leaning, and Christie is a Republican, so yeah, I am judging what is best, and not my political leaning.)

(Edit: always a big fan of yours AVG, great plane, and even greater person. Please do not take my statements as hostility, simply debating a pal )

What are you afraid of in the real "ghetto" crap hole? Why has Christie not cleaned up Newark? Will not help him politically no reason to address the ghetto?

Like any politician, they will not touch an inner city ghetto.

Pisses off the activists. Chicago and Detroit can be brought up as well, no politician cares about those cities.

I am not call Christie Jesus, just giving a moderate republican some creedence in a world of "Christian Sharia" tea baggers, and John "crybaby jobs,jobs,jobs" Boehner.

You keep touting Christie for 2016. Will DC improve, as well as the country, with another politician that will not touch the inner cities?

I've been to new jersey several times.

it has its nice areas, but on the whole, most of the entire state is a garbage heap.

I pray i never have to go back to that place.

the graffiti is really nice in the fall though

The western side towards PA is not bad at all. Countryside!

You must have been up north, where New York has spilled it crap over onto us.

Come down the shore, there is more to Jersey than what ya see on the stinky Turnpike.

Belmar, NJ. I guarantee the sea air, and great nightlife will change your mean opinion. Meany!
