Christie is certainly walking the walk and I have mucho respect for him calling out the socialist scum in our society. Unfortunately, it appears the NJ socialists don’t approve of his rational, sane actions - latest poll has him at 32% approval & 62% disapproval.

But borough teacher Rita Wilson, a Kearny resident, argued that 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.

I always wonder about these people who piss & moan about how much they make. Like they didn't have any idea what salary to expect when they made the decision to enter a particular field?

So Rita, if you don't like how much you're being paid, go to Med school or something.

I’ve always believed that Bush’s Presidency would have been much more successful had he more forcefully argued his positions and stopped the constant kowtowing to the dims and the press.

It’s a President’s job to lead, and often times that means going on the offensive and taking the fight to your opponents.

Listening to Christie, I’m getting that Chris Matthews tingle up my leg again . . . .

Christie is also trying to reign in the vastly overpaid cops of the state as well. Many of them make well over 100k a year plus free medical care for life. Boatloads of overtime pay much of which is unnecessary add to their booty. The final insult is they all seem to get promotions within the last 2 years before retirement for no other reason than to increase the pension payout. After 25 years they retire at 65% of pay. Most retire in their mid - 40’s and collect pensions for 30 to 40 years.

Take a gander at the towns of Springfield and Mountainside for example. Both are upper middle class communities that have virtually no violent crime.

I was thinking about the teachers of the teachers, the “professors of education” —I took a few ed classes, and a worse waste of time and money cannot be found. The “Drs” were dumber than stumps.

I don’t care who you are, that is funny!

Funny enough to make you cry. What the Left says and does could indeed be called a Comedy of Errors were it not for the harm they do.

But, thanks.

Geeze....how dumb are New Jersey residents. If they don’t appreciate Gov. Christie, I’d be happy to bring him to my state.

If she wants to make more money then go get a different degree.
