N.J. Democrats accuse Gov. Christie of hurting N.J. poor, middle-class while promoting jobs bill
Someone in a position to be heard is finally saying it: The truth is to Chris Christie what garlic and crucifixes are to vampires.

N.J. Democrats accuse Gov. Christie of hurting N.J. poor, middle-class while promoting jobs bill

"It was both a call for bipartisanship and a full frontal assault on Gov. Chris Christie.

Senate Majority Leader Barbara Buono and Assembly Majority Leader Joseph Cryan called on Republican lawmakers Monday to support a package of bills intended to spur the state’s economy and create jobs, and for Christie to sign them. But they also accused the governor of hurting the state’s poor and middle-class while favoring the rich.

"Through 2010 what he should have been doing is strengthening the social safety net," said Buono (D-Middlesex). "We can help by creating jobs and stimulating the economy by helping everyone make ends meet ... No amount of (Christie’s) signature nasty and dismissive attacks, delivered with a sneer and dripping with sarcasm, will help our friends, our family and our neighbors."

Buono and Cryan also took shots at the governor because Reform Jersey Now, an organization formed to promote his agenda and tied to his closest advisers, took donations from organizations with hundreds of millions of dollars in state contracts. At a press conference Friday, Christie said the group had done more to promote transparency than Democrats had by voluntarily disclosing its donors. "He’s delusional. Or just very confused. Or lying has become, oh I don’t know ... Maybe his lying has become pathological," said Buono."

1. Here’s the thing though
The million or so asshats that voted for him? They KNEW this. And now they are lying to themselves with their crocodile tears and oh woe is me nonsense.

I’m just as angry at the people who deliberately screwed us all over by voting for this jackass in the first place. They knew that this was PRECISELY what they were voting for and wanted to send a 'big message to big gub'mint in big Washington' and all they did was cut of their noses to spite their face.

But for the record? :pals: Thanks for pointing out again that he lies, lives in a veil of ignorance, and is a selfish self-absorbed ego maniac. ;-)

And one more for the record? I hope it fails. I hope his entire agenda/plan fails.

If Republicans can want THE Executive of the U.S. to fail . . . then I should be able to hope and pray that THIS Executive fails. Turn about is fair play.

Give 'em hell Legislature!

2. I agree with you completely
The New Jersey Assembly and Senate should stonewall this fool until he retires and moves to Florida permanently.
