Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) Speaks Directly...

The original title of this video is "YouTube - Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) Puts A Liberal Reporter In His Place!" I know this small sound bite may take things out of context. Perhaps Gov. Christie is a prick. I don't know, but IF he is as he says he is, then I can get support this kind of politician.



Plato said, "The rulers of the state are the only persons who ought to have the privilege of lying, either at home or abroad; they may be allowed to lie for the good of the state." While I can agree with Plato, it seems that politicians seem to abuse that privilege to the point where we can't tell if they are lying or not and are always leaving themselves a way out. It just seems cowardly, and while that it may be politically savvy, it is disgusting behavior and when it is found out, as most often is, then it only increases the disdain I have for these people.

Look just stand by your words, it's as simple as that. So, President Obama, when you told a crowd in Dover, N.H. on September 12, you said that you "...can make a firm pledge. Under [your] plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increases, not [our] income tax, not [our] payroll tax, not [our] capital gains taxes, not any of [our] taxes. I expect you to stand by it. But since you couldn't, expect repercussions, such as opposition to any of your plans because you can not be trusted, sir.
