She had no advanced degree (she was nice, but not exactly the brightest bulb) and she's pulling down a BIG, tax-free pension and (practically) free healthcare.
Not a bad investment for a few quid spent on supplies (which are tax deducible), eh???
The beauty of that is you know where he stands. No waffling, lying, or dishonesty. No one is the perfect candidate. I.E we are not going to agree with someone 100%. I can live with a guy who tells the truth as he sees it. He is a man with character. How rare today

The applause you hear for the governor in the background in that video is very telling. I never thought I'd see the day, but over the course of the first eight months of the Christie administration we have seen public school teachers fall to a low level of public esteem that is usually reserved for lawyers.
The way he addressed her was perfect. She was no different from anyone else, none of the bowing and scraping teachers demand from their public servants. She was just another person, and when she didn’t show proper manners, he called her on it. Then he explained his position and his facts dismantled her unionspeak.
I dig that.
That is so true that it was worth repeating. Public employees don't pay taxes. When a government job is created at, say, $50K gross salary, the private sector pays the salary and a bookkeeping entry is made deducting some of it for withholding.
It's sort of an extra, hidden little tax on the private sector for each new government hire.
Maybe teachers aren’t all union flaks but they sure are represented by them. When teachers quit being nothing more than a DNC machine, we will begin respecting them again. For them to whine about buying supplies when we pay their salaries they can always go out into the real world and find out what else they have to buy.
Pray for America
these type things give my cynical side a wee bit of hope for the Republic to turn from the brink...a weeee bit...
bump
Christie has been spectacular against the teachers unions. Flat out awesome. But there are questions about some other stances he’s taken. I like the attitude of being both smart and unafraid to use facts to disarm the union shills - I am just not convinced he’s a solid Conservative in other matters.
Many if not all schools have incidental funding from outside sources to help teachers with material costs. PTA's. PTSA's, Dad's Clubs, etc. basically parents and community help the teachers. While many teachers do purchase the items they are reimbursed.
Thanks...
The reason for euphemism is the following: Sometimes the reality seems too brutal to say out loud. For example, the case can be clearly made for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nag but it sounds too awful to say we’re going to kill 200000 people with two bombs. Trouble is, it’s gotten to the point where ANYTHING can be used against the speaker so they say NOTHING.
Attention all sissy politicians. This is what a real leader looks like!!!
Christie needs to run in 2012...Christie/Bolton 2012!
“He’s doing a good job for New Jersey.”
Great. I hope he stays there. I have nothing against him personally. But when he steps out onto the national stage and says stupid things, he is going to be called on them. When he does those things, he affects people in other states like me.
“A ‘ya’know’ off between HRC and Caroline Kennedy.”
ROFLMAO
Why do they do it? Why do they love “ya-know” so much?
That's where socialists come from...
Why do self-appointed genius Democrats love to use
‘ya-know” so often, between every other word and in every sentence?
