Republican Chris Christie Said WHAT About The Republican Party?!
Being a democrat from New Jersey, Governor Chris Christie hasn’t exactly been my favorite person in the past few years, but I’m starting to like him a little bit more post Hurricane Sandy. During the hurricane, Christie gained a lot of respect from me and other democrats for his swift action and the way he handled the situation. Now he’s gaining even more of my respect for fighting on behalf of those still effected by the storm and taking a stand against his own Republican party. If you didn’t think Republicans were mad at him for his praise of President Obama post Sandy and right before the election, you’re certainly going to see how mad they get about his remarks. He might have just hung himself when it comes to running for President, which he has expressed in the past, with these remarks. As you may know, the Republicans in Congress are a big reason why the relief bill for Hurricane Sandy victims has not been signed or even voted on. During a recent statement Christie brought up the fact that it has been 65 long days since NJ/NY/CT have seen relief from the storm despite the fact it only took 10 days for relief post Katrina and 30 days for relief in Florida post Andrew. He also let the Republican Party know why many Americans hate Congress, why some of us feel betrayed by those that “represent” us, and how the party turned it’s back on us. Read more on what he said below.…
