Governor Christie of New Jersey is quickly becoming known for intrepid straight talk, and willingness to reject common liberal premises. The best quotes from the above video:
“My argument is with the union, who [sic] collects … $730 a year from every teacher and school employee in the union in mandatory dues. And if you don’t want to join the union, here’s your option: you can be out; you pay 85% of $730 to be out. It’s like the Hotel California ….”
and
“… most governors have said, ‘I’ll be upright, not bleeding.’ I said, ‘You punch them, and I punch you.’”
