in one of those deep fry vats,
and be served on a stick.

16. Fascists HATE Unions
It's like the Mafia and competition -- cannot be tolerated.

The NAZIs Hated Unions, too.

BTW: A hearty welcome to DU, VeryConfused!

3. Christie was on "Today Show" this morning ... AGAIN
Getting fluff ball "questions" from Matt Lauer who has relentlessly promoted Christie (but Lauer relentlessly shills for ALL things Repubican)

10. The media loves this guy
because he helps them sell the news. Shame how the media puts profit ahead of doing their jobs

21. Someone has to... his parents obviously didn't
Can you imagine growing up to be something like him without an estranged family life? Maybe all these Republican asshole governors have the same problem.

5. Amazing that even when Republicans explicitly take credit for destroying ways of life for thousands
Edited on Fri Jun-24-11 08:17 AM by Brickbat
of people, those people will find a way to blame socialists, welfare moms, The Debt, Democrats, unions and others. It's pretty impressive, really, when you think about it.

19. Dear New Jersey voters:
Edited on Fri Jun-24-11 04:24 PM by Brigid
Please recall Gov. Christie. Or, if state law does not provide for this, at least vote him out of office next time you can. x(

22. A recall is next to impossible here
You need 25% of ALL registered voters to sign the petitions. Christie won in a low-turnout year and 25% of everyone would be more than everyone who voted for the jackass.

Lardass is my governor and the best we can do this year is to elect REAL Democrats to the legislature this fall and start looking NOW for a good candidate to wipe the floor with him in 2013.
