Chris Christie: I Will Punch The Teacher’s Union ‘In The Face’ Because They ‘Deserve It’
Well, it certainly appears that Chris Christie doesn’t want any teachers tovote for him, doesn’t it?
The New Jersey Governor and 2016 GOP Presidential candidate said in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper that the national teacher’s union deserves a “punch in the face” because he claims it has become the most destructive force in America’s education system.
Tapper reminded Christie that he had once advised people to punch bullies “in the face” during his first term as governor. So Tapper’s next question was:
At the national level, who deserves a punch in the face?
Christie replied:
“Oh, the national teachers union. They’re not for education for our children, they’re for greater membership, greater benefits, greater pay for their members….READ MORE at LiberalAmerica.org

Fat f*ck continues to say more to ensure he gets a top ten spot on Thursday and isn’t forced to sit at the kid’s table.
F_cons August 2nd, 2015 at 18:26
The kids table isn’t big enough and the chairs aren’t strong enough
Tommie August 2nd, 2015 at 15:44
Sounds like something a bully would say to something he disagree with!
Larry Schmitt August 2nd, 2015 at 16:02
If we talk about who deserves what, I believe he would get a kick in the balls.
F_cons August 2nd, 2015 at 18:24
Sorry but the recent picture showing his camel toe proves his only possible target is in his polluted mind – not somewhere you could actually reach
Suzanne McFly August 2nd, 2015 at 16:26
Well in all honesty, I don’t know how many teachers would of ever voted for him anyway. It is a win-win for him to say this, that says a lot about the republican party more than anything.
StoneyCurtisll August 2nd, 2015 at 16:36
Calm down Christie, I hate to see you blow a gasket…
He must be out of breath just making that comment..
allison1050 August 2nd, 2015 at 18:19
lol
StoneyCurtisll August 2nd, 2015 at 17:12
Jaba the Jersey has his..
And he will be damned if anyone else gets theirs.
labman57 August 2nd, 2015 at 17:18
Christie is just trying to ride Walker’s coat tails by vilifying organized labor and public education.

I’m a devoted lib, but I really like this guy.
tracey marie August 2nd, 2015 at 18:07
Bullies appeal to you and speaking like a thug not a polititian is something good?
No way out August 2nd, 2015 at 18:49
Ne’s not a bully…he’s got that Italian thing going. He’s not going to win, so big deal.
tracey marie August 2nd, 2015 at 18:53
No, he is a bully. I am Italian and I and my family do not threaten to punch people, call them filthy names in public like that guy does.
No way out August 2nd, 2015 at 19:23
No..He said something like that once. Filthy names? Get over it. I like him, you’re within your rights to not like him.
Chris August 2nd, 2015 at 20:01
Nice troll job.
Sure, you’re a “devoted lib.”
And, no, you won’t get another response from me.
bpollen August 2nd, 2015 at 20:18
Kinda like saying:
“I believe in integration but I have a real man-crush on George Lincoln Rockwell.”
No way out August 2nd, 2015 at 20:27
Yeah…just like that
bpollen August 2nd, 2015 at 21:02
I certainly thought so, and so said.
Chris August 2nd, 2015 at 20:32
Exactly.
No way out August 2nd, 2015 at 20:23
Good. Hey tool chest, I’ve been a democrat longer than you’ve been alive. KMA
tracey marie August 2nd, 2015 at 23:40
filthy names, he has cursed, threatened, yelled at veterans, women and anyone else who does not agree with him. He is a loud mouthed bully, nothing more.
bpollen August 2nd, 2015 at 21:01
You apparently are real iffy about what a bully is. Screaming at and insulting those who disagrees with you, or creating “traffic problems” in retaliation if members of the other party don’t back you, these are not the behaviors of “Italians” (real cultural bias there) and ARE the behaviors of a bully.
BigDumbWhiteGuy August 2nd, 2015 at 18:12
Why?
allison1050 August 2nd, 2015 at 18:16
You trying to confuse him even more or just looking for a chuckle this afternoon?
BigDumbWhiteGuy August 2nd, 2015 at 18:21
I’m just curious how someone who describes themselves as a devoted lib could be anything other than utterly repulsed by the Mafioso slimeball.
allison1050 August 2nd, 2015 at 19:11
Amazing isn’t it people just won’t allow you to get bored. So when No way says “not sure” I’m not at all surprised by that non-answer that’s what I call sitting on the fence.
The Original Just Me August 3rd, 2015 at 05:28
Asking an Idiot like No Way a question, is like going to the Zoo and just standing there in front of the Baboon cage. You have no idea why you are there because you just can’t understand why they are doing what they are doing.

Not sure, he reminds me of a conservative close friend. I like him, not his politics necessarily.
whatthe46 August 2nd, 2015 at 19:03
so you like liars and crooks?

Yes…I guess so. My buddy is right, the far left is as twisted as the far right.

I hate the extremes. you’re a perfect example
whatthe46 August 2nd, 2015 at 20:37
sure.
bpollen August 2nd, 2015 at 22:07
Am I to understand that you not only don’t understand what a bully is, but you also misunderstand what “extremes” and “perfect example” mean? And who the hell is this “far left” whose twist you disapprove of? Got a specific example in mind, or is it just a gratuitous and non-sequitur insult?
The Original Just Me August 3rd, 2015 at 05:22
You just HATE period.

That is a true definition of Propaganda.

I have known some 5 foot or so tall teacher’s union members who I would put MY money on in a fist-fight with Christie.
TKList August 2nd, 2015 at 20:49
The problem with public unions collective bargaining is that they monetarily support and elect the people they are negotiating their contracts with, which makes it a conflict of interest.
Jenjen August 2nd, 2015 at 21:06
Isn’t that the same with pretty much all lobby money??
TKList August 2nd, 2015 at 21:22
No.

Which is an exact description of businesses that makes political donations. Particularly federal or state or municipal contractors.
TKList August 2nd, 2015 at 22:37
Government contractors can not make political donations, that is called bribery.
bpollen August 3rd, 2015 at 03:48
On the contrary. Otherwise, why would Obama be pushing rules that disclose federal contractor political contributions? Federal contractors are prohibited from contributing directly, but they can contribute to SuperPACs… Additionally, according to the FEC “It does not apply, however, to personal contributions by employees, partners, shareholders or officers of businesses with government contracts; nor does it apply to separate segregated funds established by corporations or labor organizations with government contracts”
TKList August 3rd, 2015 at 04:00
That is federal not state.
bpollen August 3rd, 2015 at 04:48
And you said “Government contractors can not make political donations, that is called bribery.”
So now you really really didn’t mean government contractors, you meant OTHER than federal contractors? If you were excluding federal government when you said “government contractors” then you should have stated that.
22 states, including mine, “generally prohibit corporate contributions but allow contributions from corporate federal PACs* or separate state PACs set up to specifically comply with the state law…” In other words, all you gotta do is contribute to, or create your own, 501(c)(3) organization.
Some states and communities have various “pay-to-play” restrictions for local contributions within their purview, but I don’t think any absolutely prohibit the use of 501(c)(3) “charitable organizations.”

DAH ! He is just Union bashing like any Solid Republican.
The Original Just Me August 3rd, 2015 at 05:19
You have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about. Put down the Propaganda Minister’s Propaganda Sheet and try to educate your self on real world knowledge.
The Original Just Me August 3rd, 2015 at 05:09
You need to step into the real world. the Supreme Court declared Corporations are people and Corporations ARE government contractors.
The Original Just Me August 3rd, 2015 at 05:07
Right on the MARK !
The Original Just Me August 3rd, 2015 at 05:06
And just who should they vote for. They have to vote for some politician because that is who runs and funds the Education System. What a Hair Brain Statement. Teachers should not be allowed to vote in your world ?
The Original Just Me August 3rd, 2015 at 05:13
Hey lame brain, Unions are made up of people and people are allowed to vote any way they like regardless of what idiots like you think. You would take away the Voting Rights of WORKING PEOPLE ?
Scott Smith August 3rd, 2015 at 16:13
The problem with the oligarchy is that they monetarily support and elect the people that will pass laws that help them out. There, is that better?
TKList August 3rd, 2015 at 17:26
To remove money from politics you have to get rid of what attracts money to politics.
Which is the convoluted tax code and excessive regulation.
The voter wants regulation and taxes on business and the rich, which causes business and the rich to spend money on politics to influence taxes and regulations. Blame the voter.
Excessive regulations and a convoluted tax code are the seeds of an oligarchy; they are the sperm and egg.
If you count on the government to do it or over regulate it, it will be hijacked by special interest groups (Unions, Financial Industry, Oil Industry, Farmers, Defense Contractors, Multi-National Corporations, Religious Groups, Environmentalists, AARP, etc.), so it invites more corruption than solutions. People are given a false sense of security. A very good reason to keep government to a minimum and one of the reasons the Constitution is set up to constrain it. This regulatory capture also increases the barriers to competition, further hurting citizens/consumers.
Blame the voter for the existence of lobbyists.
First step to a solution:
Support politicians that promise to get rid of laws and regulations that are obsolete or ineffective, instead of the ones that promise to enact more laws and regulations.
Second and third steps:
Repeal the 16th Amendment, abolish the IRS and the tax code, and enact the Fair Tax. Less money will go into politics because there will be no tax code to manipulate. There will be much less for the special interest groups to hijack.
Reduce regulations to the minimum necessary. Less money will go into politics because there will be less to manipulate. There will be less for the special interest groups to hijack.
Fourth step:
Pass and ratify an Amendment to the Constitution to require a 60% supermajority in the House to pass any new legislation and a simple majority to repeal any legislation.
Choose limited federal government. Stop making millionaires out of our politicians and lobbyists. Stop increasing the power of connected corporations.

Does this Rattle Brain ever wonder why Unions always vote Democrat ? This guy is NOT running for President. he is running for Right Wing’s Nut Case of the Year Award.

Another fine example of why people shouldn’t vote for this loud mouth tool.

“I Will Punch The Teacher’s Union ‘In The Face’ Because They ‘Deserve It”
This statement should be the undoing of Chris Christie. It personifies how he manages conflict: by confronting it with violence rather than reasoning and negotiation. If you think we have too many terrorists and too many wars now, just elect this guy President and he’ll stir up more conflict and make more enemies that you can handle.’
