In reply to the discussion: Chris Christie Hits Back At Rand Paul Remark On Sandy Aid [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)44. Between him hugging PBO and this, I'm starting to like him:
"I find it interesting that Sen. Paul is accusing us of having a "Gimme, gimme, gimme" attitude toward federal spending when in fact New Jersey is a donor state and we get 61 cents back on every dollar we send to Washington. Interestingly, Kentucky gets $1.51 on every dollar they send to Washington," he said.
"So if Sen. Paul wants to start looking at where he's going to cut spending to afford defense, maybe he should start looking at the pork barrel spending he brings home to Kentucky."
That should go VIRAL.
My new one for answering Dittohead Teabaggers:
'You say minimum wage, unions, worker rights and certain people voting are bad for business. Good news, there's a tried and proven economic model that will suit you fine, then.
It's called slavery. Great for business, it was. Keep on voting for those selling that stuff and you and your kids will get there.'
They all end up looking like this, though...
And then there's the need for a dust pan to clean up the brain matter...

I am guessing Ms. Clinton would agree with Gov Christie on government spying. I would hope not,
