Governor Christie held a press conference following his veto:

I think what you’re going to find is that more and more people have left the state and continue to leave the state because of the tax situation. And, as I’ve said before, you’re not going to fix this tax situation by continuing to load more and more taxes onto people who have both the ability to leave the state and the inclination to leave the state if they feel they are being treated unfairly. New Jersey does not have a tax problem. That we don’t have enough tax revenue. We have a spending and size of government problem and we need to start saying “no.� And, today is another one of those examples of saying “no.� I just don’t believe that if you spoke to a majority of people in New Jersey, they would say to you, “Yeah, you know what? The government does not have enough revenue to do the job. We just don’t send them enough money, let’s send them some more. Because, they don’t have enough. It’s not that they are spending it so wisely, they just don’t have enough money.� And, I don’t think the majority of New Jersians feel that way and I certainly don’t feel that way.

This guy is awesome.

I hear that former Union Boss turned politicians in NJ are already trying to threaten him using mob/thug/SEIU/ACORN tactics.

Many Republicans seem to have rediscovered the value of smaller government. Now lets see NJ cut spending.

Many Republicans seem to have rediscovered the value of smaller government. Now lets see NJ cut spending.

And we do that by applying pressure on the Republican party as a whole to represent our interests, not by running away from the party and creating splinter groups to steal votes away from Republicans.

Yes, to a certain degree some of the splinters groups have drawn attention to this need as well, I admit that much, but the real truth is if all these people had stayed with the Republicans and been on the inside instead of the outside, I am sure we could have stayed closer to our roots and not gone as bad off the road as we had.

The extra layer of "nasty" these splinter groups bring is counter productive, attacking someone like Sarah Palin only hurts the Conservative agenda, we need to agree on who the enemy is, not either directly or indirectly be helping the enemy tear us apart so they can stay in power.

And yes IWS, Governor Christie is a great guy for this, we will see what the long term result will be.

Again, he seems like a great guy who has an understand of how these things work far beyond most politicians, but even some whispers out of California has the people looking for ways to get the out of control spending under control. This issue of the various Government levels all believing they have unlimited spending rights to what we earn is ******* people off.
