Chris Christie’s… NAZI JERSEY!

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  June 16th at 04:30 PM  | 

Today’s let’s-urinate-on-the-memory-of-Nazi-victims comes to us courtesy of  Communications Workers of America International Vice President Christopher Shelton, who seems to be having difficulty telling the difference between murdering millions of people in literal carload lots, and ending public sector employees’ ability to collectively bargain over how much of said people’s work-offered health insurance policies has to come out of their pocket.  And by ‘be having difficulty | Read More »

Chris Christie’s Time to Run

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  May 27th at 12:25 PM  | 

Let me put an editorial note here that this is not in any way, shape, or form an endorsement of Chris Christie. It is, rather, my assessment of his chances for the Presidency should he choose to pass on 2012. The governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, claims he has no intention of running for president in 2012. I believe that 2012 is the only | Read More »

From the diaries by Jeff. In the aftermath of the New Jersey Planned Parenthood sting, the question as to whether NJ Governor, Chris Christie, would take appropriate action against the organization has been answered.

The Party is Over

By: Ben Howe (Diary)  |  February 2nd at 09:45 AM  | 

“I am sorry that I’m the guy that has to be here at the time when the party’s over.”  That’s a quote from Governor Chris Christie in response to a state employed police officer who was angry at potentially losing future raises as well as being asked to contribute more to his health benefits in order to close huge budget deficits in New Jersey.  The | Read More »

Anatomy of a Hatchet Job

By: Mark Impomeni (Diary)  |  January 16th at 06:30 PM  | 

Newark Star-Ledger columnist Tom Moran has an op-ed today that very well may be the most disingenuous editorial thus far written on New Jersey Governor Chris Chrtistie.  Titled “The Anatomy of an $11 Billion Myth in New Jersey,” The piece makes wildly inaccurate claims about Christie’s fiscal year 2011 budget, falsely alleges that Christie has made false claims about his budget, and attempts to pin | Read More »

Rothman chief of staff arrested on child solicitation charges.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  November 24th at 09:00 AM  | 

Yesterday the report came out that Bob Decheine, chief of staff for Rep. Steve Rothman (D, NJ), had been abruptly fired.  This came as a bit of a surprise, as Decheine has been a notable figure in NJ Democratic politics: he was a senior adviser to the Obama campaign in 2008, and as Rothman’s CoS had just shepherded his boss to another win in Congress, | Read More »

Education Reform and New Jersey

By: Ben Domenech (Diary)  |  August 27th at 01:19 PM  | 

I’ve said that Chris Christie losing out on $400 million over four years in federal grant money on Education could be a blessing in disguise–and I wanted to explain why that is. So this week Education Secretary Arne Duncan announced $3.4 billion split between ten “winners” under their Race to the Top program, with the overwhelming bulk of the remaining pool of money (yes, that’s | Read More »

Steve Rothman (D, NJ-09) hates video cameras.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  July 15th at 10:30 AM  | 

Today’s “Whoops.  Somebody was recording that?” moment will be brought to you today by Rep. Steve Rothman (D, NJ-09): ‘Portability’ in this context refers to the ability of people to take their health care plan with them if they lose their jobs – a feature not found in Obamacare, and one of four supposed deal-killers for Rep. Rothman.  As you can see from the video, | Read More »

According to RCP, we’ve got primaries in California, Iowa, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Virginia.  The news has been dominated by California’s, Nevada’s, and of course South Carolina’s – but they’re all important, so if you’re a voter in that state, hie yourselves and any reliable Republican voters within reach to a polling station.  You can let the | Read More »

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

By: Lori Ziganto (Diary)  |  June 6th at 05:45 PM  | 

Bada Bing, New Jersey’s Governor Christie does it again. This time, calling out the horrible and corrupt teacher’s union, NJEA. (video after the jump) Each time he speaks, I’m even more impressed than the last time. Every speech is chock-full of delicious common sense and straight talk. He started off his tenure as Governor by saying “No More” to the excessive taxation levied on New | Read More »

I Sure Hope Rita Wilson Isn’t A Math Teacher

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  May 26th at 03:55 PM  | 

RealClearPolitics has a video circulating of an exchange between Governor Chris Christie and Rita Wilson, a school teacher in the Rutherford School District. The teacher demands more salary, telling Christie, “if she were paid $3 an hour for the 30 children in her class, she’d be earning $83,000, and she makes nothing near that.” Christie told her that teachers go into teaching knowing the salary. | Read More »

You know what’s a great antidote for a rotten mood?

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  May 13th at 09:25 PM  | 

Because I was having one: long story, but it involved wondering what I’ve been doing lately. Then I see this: Gov Christie calls S-L columnist thin-skinned for inquiring about his ‘confrontational tone’ (See also: Hot Air, AoSHQ) …and I realize that one thing I’ve been doing lately is helping people like Chris Christie get elected. You’re welcome. Moe Lane PS: No. Get your own. Crossposted | Read More »

In Praise of Governor Chris “Kratos” Christie.

By: Martin Knight (Diary)  |  May 6th at 03:19 PM  | 

In the four months since Chris Christie was sworn in as the 55th Governor of the state of New Jersey, he’s earned himself a few nicknames and prayers for his death. “Governor Krispy Kreme” or Governor Bully by his Leftist detractors on most NJ websites where they congregate. A liberal Newark Star-Ledger columnist prefers the double-entendre of Governor Wrecking Ball. Admirers, including George Will, have | Read More »
