Politics as usual.
I'll keep this short because most of what I would have said, was already stated by the Big Gov. Yes, I live in New Jersey and lately have had a strong distaste for the GOP, so I'm not the most impartial observer. But, Christie is 110% right, the extra 10% because of his gargantuan girth. He has handled this disaster superbly, focusing mainly on helping the people of his state recover. I can't say enough about his handling of the situation and his short speech directly after Sandy, when some asshole reporter asked him about the upcoming election. I have mocked him in the past, and though I am not fond of his in your face attitude, I applaud it in this situation. Someone needed to say something, and THIS thing is probably what most of us have been thinking for. We are red states, and blue states, but we are human beings first and foremost and should be treated in that manner. It's time for a serious third party...Issues are rarely black and white, take me for example, most of my views could be considered liberal (at least by today's definition of liberal, the term changes more than *lame host name* at the Academy Awards). But I also get down with a very conservative fiscal policy and thing our government should be small and mainly concerned with our protection. It does not matter why I believe these things or why I cannot seem to agree with any politician but Ron Paul, the reasons do not matter. What matters is my right to be protected or aided during a time of need, granted my area saw little to no destruction. But, I have family members than had homes and personal belongings destroyed...some irreplaceable. I've been down the shore a few times since than, mainly to help with the rebuilding effort in some small way. The people are in a bad way down there, a lot of the businesses are still closed...and the fact they want to make a political game out of this only brings me to one conclusion. Barack Obama doesn't care about Guidos.
