Palin says that Christie is forced to cut budgets because NJ is broke. But she points out that when she became Governor of Alaska, she cut even though she had a surplus:

Why is she dissing him?

Because she feels compelled to respond to every slight, real or imagined.

Isn’t Chris Christie pretty close to having more time under his belt as governor than Mrs. Palin?

It astounds me why so many people look up to a lazy quitter whose admitted healthcare plan was to handout $700 billion to the failed investment banks.

Remind me...Why do we hate him? I don’t know much about him, but I can’t recall anything especially bad jumping out. Is he a RINO?

I will crawl over burning coals and glass to vote for her. I am sick of the anti-America, self absorbed left and “moderates”. They make me feel like vomiting.

Have him state cleary;

“If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve.”

Let him do his job in his state, and we will consider him in 8 years.

Looks like she may have her facts wrong. Her budgets were fiscal 08 and 09:

Fiscal Year Expenditures (billions)
2000 $8.5
2001 $9.0
2002 $9.4
2003 $9.7
2004 $10.0
2005 $10.0
2006 $10.8
2007 $11.6
2008 $12.5
2009 $13.4

A) Since Christie never had the luxury of a surplus there can be no apples-apples.

B) Palin imposed a windfall tax on energy companies even though she had a surplus. At least two of those companies took their new business elsewhere.

Tough to talk about real courage after quitting.

It’s so easy to refudiate what she doesn’t say...

” I engaged in hiring freezes and reduced earmarks by 86% and vetoed the largest amounts in our state’s history. Despite having a surplus that’s real leadership and that’s courage. “

Somehow, WTC, by sticking her neck into the fray virtually every day, she doesn’t sound like a quitter to me. She has merely “reloaded”. Bob

All fat boy has done so far is run his mouth. The results don’t match his overblown rhetoric.

I love how you people lie. Include FY 2010 in your count and presto your entire point falls apart
