NJ Governor debate on now..

[SummerSnow]

(R) Chris Christie. (D) Barbara Buono



I think he is getting a 2nd term

[Mr.Bill]

1. How many times has he said

SHUT UP! so far?

That's pretty much his whole act.

[Graybeard]

2. He defended using words like 'jerk' and 'stupid'.

He said being honest is sometimes uncomfortable for some. He said telling it like it is was the way he was raised by his mother.

So his mother called him a jerk? Just askin'.

[Graybeard]

3. Buono: Christie panders to the RW.

It's the way you are running for President by harming NJ residents.

Veto of sensible gun control, veto of Planned Parenthood, veto of same-sex marriage. All issues to pander to the right wing extremists.

[Graybeard]

4. Buono: It's time for you to man-up for your dismal record.

She says Christie always points fingers at others when shown his poor performance on the economy etc.

[Mr.Bill]

5. Exactly

What's the unemployment rate?
Has he lowered taxes? (isn't that what Republicans are supposed to do?)
Is average income up or down?
What has he done to fight corruption in his state?
How many new jobs?


etc.

[Graybeard]

6. Christie: Do you regret raising taxes 154 times?

Typical Republican exaggeration and double counting about tax increases. Buono answered the important thing is who is being taxed.

She says Christie raised property taxes by 17%, raised bus fares and tolls, all more hurtful to the working class.

[Graybeard]

7. What do you like about your opponent?

Buono: He's good on the late-night shows.

Christie: She's a good mother and dedicated public servant.

A pretty decent answer from Christie for a change.
