Today in New Jersey, Chris Christie was confronted by a teacher while he was campaigning. She asked him why he calls schools "failure factories". He screamed at her "Why don't you people do your job!"
The exchange was captured in a Kodak moment. Please help this picture go viral.

(96,793 posts)Can you imagine Christie in the White House? Remember that horrible principal who walked around with a baseball bat? That's what we would get with Christie in the White House - a loud mouth with a bat. Gag me.

Barbara Buono is a true Democrat and I hope, sincerely hope, New Jersey Democrats will vote for her over that loudmouth bully who's been making New Jersey suffer with very REAL Republican policies and obstructionism.

(40,656 posts)Raddled face. But that's just me. He's just a pimp poseur to me. I wish I could really articulate my outrage right now. This will have to do. And yes it's about his weight. He has confused his girth with muscles and machismo, thus the al pachino impersonations. He acts like Tony soprano. My sister could slap him into the last century.

She's another Cow of Bashan, most likely.
They deserve each other, but we don't deserve to suffer under either of them.
Watching these fascists take over is like being flayed alive.
They make me both sick and terrified.
BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)For the life of me, I can't understand why any Democrat would want to vote for this major mistake's re-election.
He was swept in with all the other Teapublicans and since then, has been as Teapublican as the best of them! He's done more damage to New Jersey than Jon Corzine has, but he gets no flack for it. He disrespects women, the equal rights of the LGBT community, and anyone and everyone he comes into contact with if they dare oppose him.
Democratic members should be in full attack mode against this guy, but they remain "mum". I don't get it.
That's the one (and only) thing that I can admire in the Republican Party - when they smell just a droplet of blood in the political water, they go into a frenzy against their opponent. Democrats appear incapable of doing the same - unless, of course, it's against a Progressive.

FoxNewsSucks
(10,429 posts)but I wouldn't take that bet. He did attend the Koch Brothers meeting in Colorado. Whatever else he does, he has the backing of the .001%.
And most Americans don't realize that, or why it's the biggest reason to oppose Christie and his ilk.

(5,756 posts)I hope the Dems have the video of that and use it. If not, it's up to us to find the video and make it viral now and during the primaries for 2016. I know too many friends who think he's actually a nice guy.

(96,793 posts)This teacher is a Facebook friend of mine and she bravely followed Christie's campaign bus today and was the only one at the rally who didn't support him. She isn't even sure who took this picture. She found it on Twitter.
But if there is a video, I will be sure to share it.
The Wielding Truth
(11,415 posts)He is a big man to be barking at a women like that. It is so out of control and uncalled for. Teachers do their jobs and much more. What a bad attitude for him to have with a teacher! I admire her for her fortitude and I hope this will not intimidate her in any way.

(2,983 posts)Why isn't Christie doing HIS job? You're an elected official, Sir. A public servant. It ought to damn well be your obligation to act with some level of humility - as well as with some respect and courtesy for the people YOU are supposed to be serving. No, Mr. Christie... the question is... why don't YOU do YOUR job? Why don't your ignorant colleagues? Is it, perhaps, because you're bringing in over 170 grand a year by not doing much beyond grand standing, fundraising (read: begging for handouts!) and insulting decent people?
Do YOUR job. Asshole.

Dyedinthewoolliberal
(15,574 posts)the thought occurred to me to vote for a Republican for President (like he wants to be), I would never, ever, vote for someone who feels it necessary to yell at people. That is not effective leadership. The only time yelling IS effective leadership is when the building is on fire. Then it's ok to yell at people!

(10,624 posts)Down South, we still have large numbers of racists who will pull the lever for the (R) every time no matter what. We also have millions of religious fanatics who only vote for Republicans (think of the fetuses!).
But why in the Devil's Hell do these Northern states (who should know better by now) keep electing Republicans to statewide office?
I'm baffled.
I understand why I'm stuck with asshole (and former Democrat) Nathan Deal.
Buy why Christie? Why Kasich? Why Scott freakin' Walker? Why that asshole in Michigan? (Michigan, c'mon!)
