Would make me as happy as to see that dreadful Keshishian woman rode out on the rails in disgrace.

Well done.

Chris Christie in a rare politician that exceeds expectations. He is grabbing the bull by the horns and doesn’t really care about making enemies of the NJEA (as if they would ever support him anyway)

And he’s right that the dialogue stops until there are serious consequences to those who forwarded around that email.

If a kid in the NJ school wrote that email about a teacher? Almost certainly expelled..

If a member of Christies staff wrote that about a union member?

N/T

It’s like the crap about the Virginia slavery thing. Like what, anyone who was “offended” was ever going to vote Republican anyway?

is Republicans with backbone.

When we stand up for our principles, the people stand with us.

When they clearly announce theirs – or implement them – the people run from them.

This is your brain on drugs; any questions?

They make above average pay for working nine months out of twelve and get every single holiday known to man off. They get benefits like they were members of Congress and yet any sacrifice for them is off the table.

Keshishian was not used to someone standing up to her as she probably makes her union members tremble at her very presence.

plus their teaching salary with full benefits, annually, year after year.

The idea comes from the long ago era when both politicians, union leaders, and teachers made below-average wages.

Today, the NJEA president can rake in up to $500,000, and legally receive his/her teacher’s salary, plus increments, raises, and benefits.

Whadda joke, and then she has the bad manners and immature reactions of a teenager when meeting with the governor, who was elected to straighten out the fiscal miss in NJ.

I really like this guy.

Tough times require tough choices based is sagacious, well reasoned alternatives. They do not require Mehl im Maule behalten, negotiations which obfuscate your principles or require yielding to opponents when it is politically opportunistic.

NJ is in the hole for about $11 billion on a $29 billion dollar budget. While the state lost over 121,00 private sector jobs, municipalities and teachers hired over 11,000 people. Teachers contribute nothing to their health care while the state contribution is generally over $500k. Teachers also contribute about 0.03% to their pensions, while the state picks up the rest, which is generally in the millions of dollars- but it’s for the children.

This country just spent $6.5 trillion dollars last year under the Democrats and President Obama. We now have a health care entitlement that will be the financial coupe de grace and add trillions of dollars to the deficits and destroy our system. But really, live with it Mitch and pals, or print those “Repeal and Replace” bumper stickers and ride the tea party wave into our next election instead of directly, forcefully and righteously addressing the issues- taking no prisoners.

Go Governor Christie. Show them how New Jersey does it. Righteously.

Christie, Ryan, Rubio, stand out because they all display so much integrity in a political landscape littered with political reprobates.

None the above named resort to talking points, they create their own. They speak from where they are at to their audience, or so it seems they try to avoid insulting the intelligence of voters without becoming arrogant about their own.

What Christie understands is that teacher unions are not about children, but adults. They are not about education, but working conditions and benefits.

They contrast with Palin because they are becoming known nationally in lower levels of government (kind of in a Rudy G way).

…by trailing her to her office like that.

Normally the MSM gives the Dems cover to slip away.

into his office nor allow them to see any of his cabinet. If they have business with the State, they can pursue that business through collective bargaining processes, not political processes.

All Federal and State Employees whose salaries are paid by the taxpayers should be banned from union membership. PERIOD!

a president in the White House to do the same thing for the country…

Nicely done Gov. Christie. A republican who has a spine. I love it!
