I’m at a total loss for words. Total. UPDATE! It gets even BETTER!

RESIZE: AAA

Watch this performance and you will be too.

1. $24,000 per pupil??????????????????????????????? WTF!
2. Pretty much all single syllable words.
3. Think anybody doesn’t know exactly where Gov. Christie stands?
4. Remember, he may be the Governor but the Legislature is dominated by the EvilParty™.
5. How can we get him to oversee spine and testosterone implants for the rest of our Governors.

Did I mention, wow.

And the most powerful part of this clip is that he’s repeating it every day on every subject.

Wow.
_____________________________________________________________________________

OK, one day later and in case anybody can’t figure out the first video Governor Christie clarifies his position.

Got that: “But we don’t win this fight, there’s no other fights left.” at 4:07.

          The man has got a vein of steel in his backbone that I can’t help but admire. He’s direct, straightforward, genuine, sincere, extremely articulate, witty and passionate to the hilt. I respect those qualities in a person.

    Dr Cox, can you PLEASE write some more of those prescriptions so we can get more GOP leaders like Chris Christie?

    • Raven

      If he can send those prescriptions to every GOP lawmaker in PA.

  • lineholder

    I wish more of our elected officials understood the reality of it.

  • DaveWT4

    … but I think we are going to have to draft Christie in 2012.

    If NJ voters were truly serious about cleaning up the state, they would have tossed the Democrats in the NJ Legislature.

    We’ll see if NJ’ites have any stones on this one. Even this guy can’t stand alone…

    • TheSophist

      We’re trying to give Christie the support he needs. Believe me, some of us even here in NJ are trying.

      And DaveWT4… sorry, you can’t have him. We need Christie in Trenton to finish the job.

        I hope it’s top-notch……..

    • mbecker908

      My point is that Christie is providing the leadership necessary to actually CUT government spending and take on – and beat – the unions and he’s doing it with a Dem legislature.

      This guy is the real deal. He is the absolute definition of leadership. He’s the ONLY politician I’ve seen in my lifetime who really practices bipartisanship in a good way, and that includes Ronnie who got his stuff done but sold the farm on other stuff to do it.

      • aesthete

        Considering that he had to deal not only with a Dem majority in the Senate, but most of his own party, which was in opposition, and adding the consideration that no one had tried classical liberalism as a model for governance since Coolidge, I can’t really blame him for selling the farm on some domestic issues to finish off the USSR. He still put social democrats and socialists on the run, to the point where they’re still unable to publicly articulate an admiration for even democratic socialism without being castigated. Certainly, Obama did an about face on his Marxist sympathies as best he could, and most liberals will loudly protest that they’re “for” the free market even as they do their best to destroy and marginalize it.

        Now his inept VP candidate, and later his son, OTOH, deserve all the criticism they get, and then some. When Clinton does a better job than them on domestic issues, well, it doesn’t paint a pretty picture.

        • reldim

          Republicans controlled the Senate from 1981 to 1987. They picked up 12 seats in 1980 to take a 53-46 (1 independent) majority. They improved to 54 seats in 1982, and to 55 after a 1983 special election in Washington. They dropped to 53 after the ’84 elections, and only lost control in 1986 when they lost 8 seats (most of them seats they had won in 1980).

          • aesthete

            Thanks for the correction. The Democrats maintained a majority in the House of Representatives throughout Reagan’s term, and as you note, had complete control of the legislature during his last two years.

  • texasgalt

    the hierarchy of the teacher’s unions in the plain, unambiguous language that Christie used in this speech. They *are* nothing more than greedy, selfish, power-hungry whores who don’t give a rat’s hinder about the kid’s in their failing schools.

    I am *convinced* that the path to more minority inclusion in the GOP is through social issues and school choice. We should be hammering the ‘education establishment’ on a daily basis in this kind of clear, in your face language and building bridges to the minority communities through two words:

    School Choice.

    All day…every day.

    • mbecker908

      Whores work hard for their money and provide a quality service that is price controlled by the free market.

      • eburke

        That was totally uncalled for. I don’t know what I was thinking.

        My apologies to whores everywhere for the demeaning way in which I compared them to the jackels that comprise the echelons of the teacher’s unions.

        (I hope PETA doesn’t come after me now for demeaning jackels…sigh!)

      I *heart* this man! :-)

      A lot of conservatives have been making the same point for a very long time…but, no one has been able to deliver the message as well, much less define the issue in such understandable terms.

      Brilliant!

  • aesthete

    If he’s even half as good as he seems from here, I’d be happy to host him in AZ after he’s done in NJ.

  • d_lamar

    to clean up the mess there. Because he’s the guy, and may be the only guy in America who seems to have the guts to take on the enemies of this country.

    We conservatives have to get this guy drafted to be our next POTUS.

    I hope he has body guards by the dozens.

    • Raven

      And making some really gutsy moves.
      Chris Christie is taking on the Unions
      Jan Brewer is taking on the Feds and the Mexicans and the Drug Cartels and the Illegals. Oh, and the Bradys

      • mbecker908

        She had nothing to do with 1070 before it was passed by the legislature and for the week she sat on it, nobody knew if she would sign it. She’s read her lines OK since then, but on every other conceivable issue she’s a squish of the first order. She “balanced” the budget in AZ (which has the second worst imbalance in the US) by raising taxes, borrowing against future state lottery revenue and using TARP funds. She would go into a meeting with unions with wet pants.

        At the end of the day, her “taking on the feds” is all smoke and mirrors because the day (July 29) the law takes effect there will be at least a dozen suits filed and at least one of them will get a stay put on 1070. She’s done absolutely nothing v the Mexican Government.

        If you’d like her up in Alaska, just in case you miss the feminine touch, you can have her.

        • Raven

          A year ago, Jan Brewer was your typical spineless Republican. This immigration bill was a “Come to Jesus” moment and she had to have looked over at Christie and said “I can do that, too.”
          She hasn’t put one foot wrong since signing that bill.

          If Christie weren’t there, no way she’d have signed it. No way she’d have promised to sign the 2nd Am bills pending in the House and Senate in AZ. No way she’d have told her AG that he is not going to be involved in the defense of an immigration bill he doesn’t support.
          But he is there, and she’s taking his example to heart.

          As for her “not taking on the Mexican government…”
          WTH do you think this immigration bill and the enforcement of it is?

          • Raven

            You might also want to look, mbecker, at what she is doing within her department of education. It’s been slipping by under the cover of all the fuss about the immigration bill (as have the gun rights bills), but even if the immigration bill gets held up, the regulations she has put in place won’t be.
            This is a changed woman in charge of AZ.

  • redneck_hippie

    here, if I hadn’t already done so a while back. Those who missed it could probably find it with their favorite search engine.

    • lineholder

      The first time I saw it I thought “Oh, no, she didn’t” and LMAO!!!

  • Jack_Savage

    When conservatism is proclaimed proudly, without apology, we win – witness Exhibit A.

    I pray the good people of New Jersey have the courage to go all the way with this man. They definitely showed courage when they elected him.

    • constitutionalconservative

      I’m so tired of Republicans crawling around abjectly repeating liberal nostrums because they are worried that the MSM is going to call them names. We are right on this issue substantively, and it is a winner politically. Why isn’t every Republican officeholder in the country following the Christie line?

  • Raven

    Anyone looked into what Jan Brewer was like a year ago?
    She looked at Christie and said, “Hey, I can do that!” And Arizona has received some good moves from her and their legislature since.

    • Scope

      with her vocal detractors. Hope you are ready to defend.

      • Raven

        If they’re still upset after dialing that number, they can try:
        1-900-BOO-HOOO

        A year ago, Jan Brewer was your stereotypical spineless Republican. Today, not so much.

        • mbecker908

          knows absolutely nothing about that which she pontificates about.

          • Raven

            What happened to you, mbecker?

          • mbecker908

            But frankly Scope, when she comments about anything she’s not directly involved with, is an ignorant poseur.

            I’m not even particularly upset with Brewer. She’s done a good job of reading her lines – kinda like somebody else we know – and I heartily approve of her performance. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s just performance art. There simply is no “there” there.

            She was an OK SoS. It’s an admin job that requires no political leadership and no real will to fight. Our budget – and especially the education department – is a total disaster. Next time around there will be no TARP funds to shore up education, the “temporary” sales tax increase – Prop 100 – will be on it’s last leg and there won’t be more lottery funds to mortgage.

            Unfortunately for Arizona, given her performance on 1070, she’s going to get another term, so we’ll see how this nightmare works out.

          • Raven

            I expect her to.
            If Christie folds on anything, I expect she’ll collapse.

            Gov Christie to Teacher?s Union: ?You Punch Them, I?ll Punch You?

            which refers to a video but seems not to have the link right?

            I think mbecker is just getting stressed from the political grind……..Happens to the best of them. It’s usually just temporary.

    Teachers’ Unions will always represent teachers at the expense of students and country. Go Christie.
