Chris Christie on Collective Bargaining
This guy is sharp. No doubt about it. If you ask me, he’s the best chance Republicans have to knock off Obama in 2012. He’s not going to run, but for what it’s worth, I think he’d win.
Being a guy who made a name for himself tackling the New Jersey teachers’ unions, you might already have an idea of his feelings on collective bargaining. But Chris Christie has a way of turning the predictable into a pleasant (and often humorous) surprise.
During NBC’s Face the Nation, Christie described his philosophy towards collective bargaining as ”adversarial.” It’s pretty sad that he needs to make that clarification….because the very nature of “bargaining” necessitates adversarial behavior. Governors aren’t supposed to just hand over taxpayer money for union benefits. They’re supposed to be on the side of the taxpayer, and they’re supposed to fight to get the best possible deal for the people who aren’t able to take advantage of exorbitant public sector benefits. They’re supposed to BARGAIN. These sweetheart deals have become so commonplace that the Left now believes bargaining is a basic human right . Well, Christie had something to say about that one:
All these rights are legislatively created. They didn’t come down from tablets at the top of a mountain.
Classic. Here’s the whole interview:
Before fawning over Christie as a candidate for president, I strongly suggest you check his record concerning moslem terrorists
That’s the most idiotic comment I’ve ever seen on the hayride. Congratulations.
Actually, John, there is a problem there.

Yeah, sorry, I don’t buy that at all. To insinuate that Chris Christie is buddy-buddy with terrorists is not anything I’m going to be a part of….and I don’t quite understand why anyone else would want to either. That’s just me though.
Look, I like Christie a lot. He’s as good as you can get on fiscal issues.
But he does have a fairly well documented problem with coziness toward
Islamists.
That’s an issue that politicians on both sides of the aisle have struggled
with at times. Christie is by no means the only Republican with a black eye
where this is concerned.
It’s definitely a weakness of his, and one he needs to account for and shore
up.
Christie is a fat bully!
Though Christie is very confident that he might as well win under the presidency if he will run on the election, many are still in doubt about this issue. And as I’ve watched the video, I think all that he was talking was just a matter of explaining and how he foresees the future. And it is not good that the teachers will be ruined; the teachers must have given prioritized and not those who have just taking advantage for the taxpayer’s money.
