One Californian to Chris Christie: Fuck You

[Auggie]

Quotes from the convention:

"Don't give up on the fact that California can be governed," Christie told the adoring crowd. "You've seen it governed before. California once did have great governors, like Gov. Pete Wilson," a Republican who served two terms from 1991 to 1999.

"We've just given California away to the public-sector unions, to the masters of huge spending and huge government. It doesn't have to be that way."

"California made a bad choice with an old retread," he said of voters' election of Brown, who had served two terms from 1975 to 1983, to a third term in 2010. "I cannot believe that you people elected Jerry Brown over Meg Whitman," who lost the race by 13 percentage points and is a California delegate to the GOP convention in Florida this week.

"I don't want to be insulting. ... Jerry Brown? He won the New Jersey presidential primary over Jimmy Carter when I was 14 years old. And now I got to sit at the National Governors' Association with this guy and have him come up to me and say, 'Stop telling people that I want to raise taxes.' He said, 'I'm going to put it on the ballot and let the people decide.' "Yeah, that's leadership, isn't it?"

Putting it "on the ballot" is called Democracy, you fascist.

Go fuck yourself.

3. A bit off topic however I want to know with all the talk lately of bullies

why isn't Christie recognized as such? He's pushy, condenscending, rude, insulting, obnoxious and.... should I go on? He's has no place on a public stage. I don't know if I can stomach his upcoming speech tonight but I need to hear his words, as he says them, to evaluate the inevitable spin that will immediately follow delivery.

7. "Christie wants to distract from his massive failure with a windstorm of rhetoric"

Well said, Gov. Brown's spokesman!

Christie blows, that truth we hold self-evident.

8. the whole point, their entire message is

they don't want a government of or by the people.

Privatise it ALL!

They want a full blown plutocracy.
"We've just given California away to the public-sector unions, to the masters of huge spending and huge government. It doesn't have to be that way."
They feel that it is THEIR money, and WE have no right to spend it.
unions
government
both are nothing more than a collection of people who have banded together for a common goal.
and that scares the living shit out of them!

11. California isn't perfect ...

we have our faults (no pun intended) but our progressive agenda is very much alive and well. The prospect of that spreading nationwide, as you say, scares the living shit out of them.

9. Leadership? Like putting marriage equality on the ballot, Christie?

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/25/nyregion/christie-wants-new-jersey-voters-to-decide-on-gay-marriage.html

Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey said Tuesday that he would veto a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, and he challenged the State Legislature instead to put the issue on the ballot for voters to decide.
