Gullible indeed.

What? Governor Chris Christie, darling of The Tea Party, Republicans and yourself - a liar?

This is the guy you've touted for months as the best governor ever - possible president - real straight shooter - and now you take a media story over his own word?

You're right....gullible indeed.

Imagine if the Gov of Ca (or a lot of other states) had a clue like Christie Cali wouldn't be such a basket case.

Got a quote for your claim I called him the best ever? I call BS. I have lauded his work on the budget, but his judicial appointments and some social issues (gay marriage for example) not so much.

Think Christie actually talked to any of the workers chased off by the union thugs?

Think the media investigated before printing the story?

OT: Been quite a few issues with that of late. See the media running with the story about the NYSE having three feet of water in it....as a result of some dude in NYC putting out a tweet about it.

They are actually thinking about charging the guy criminally for his tweet (yet the media has no blame at all).

Relative to J Florio and the corrupt J Corzine a very accurate description that I still stand by.

Well they talked to the folks that were bullied, even interviewed them on the radio station cited in the links. So I would say yes.

Think they drove up from Ala then to Va to make some union guys look bad for fun? Think you would want to spend that much time driving one of those trucks for nothing?

Really?

Sometimes the simple explanation is the best explanation.

The right wants so hard to believe this stuff, they oft seem very gullible.. but of course the news report has much more veracity than the information from the NJ Governor's Office or the utility itself..

Quote:

Jersey Central Power & Light spokesman Ron Morano said in an interview with News 12 New Jersey that JCP&L has welcomed all out-of-state crews.

"We have not turned away any help," he said. "Absolutely not."

report published by The Star-Ledger this morning says major utility companies in New Jersey say they are welcoming any and all out-of-state crews helping to restore power, and have not refused any non-union contractors.

A Jersey Central Power & Light spokesman said crews from throughout the nation were now working in JCP&L’s service area, including from California, Idaho, Kentucky, Florida, Michigan and North Carolina.

Unfortunately, too many will automatically believe any news or bloggers blurb that fits their internal narrative, and denounce, disbelieve, and doubt anything that runs counter to that narrative. This is America today and partisanship over-rules common sense and skepticism too frequently.

Just out of curiosity, do you really find it so hard to believe that a politician would lie to keep from looking bad? Really?
