NJ Dems version of bipartisanship: do what we want

Well ain't this rich. NJ Democrat legislative leaders are calling on Governor Christie to work with them to enact a plethora of new bills they say will help create new jobs in our state.

"Our Republican colleagues in the Legislature and the governor have an opportunity here. They have an opportunity to show that we stand together to help the working men and women of New Jersey," said Senate Majority Leader Barbara Buono (D-Middlesex). "They need to support this legislation. We've heard chattering in the background already raising questions as to whether or not there s going to be a partisan battle on Thursday."

Did she say it with a straight face. Because that would take more nerve than cheap veal cutlet. Hey Babs, where's the toolkit? You know, the legislation Chris Christie needs in order to lower our property taxes? Where? Languishing in committee, buried by Sheila Oliver? What, you thought we'd forget?

You don't really believe that your bogus 2% cap with more holes than swiss cheese was gonna cut it, did you? There's like 30 some odd bills in Christie's package; and he's been pretty patient while you and your cronies pretend to do your "due diligence".

But now based on nothing more than the opinion of the most lefty liberal think-tank in the known universe you want us to believe you've found the silver bullet which will cure all our ills?

ROFLMAO!

Yeah, I'm sure you're all about "bipartisanship". Not!

Sorry Toots. Steve Sweeney killed that particular meme when he decided to play brinksmanship with Governor Christie's nominations for the State Supreme Court. That little fiasco is about to blow up in all your faces. When Justice Roberto Rivera-Soto retires later this year it'll be the Democrats sitting squarely in the obstructionist's seat as the judicial vacancies stack up.

Oh, but in the interests of "bipartisanship" I'm sure you'll have some cockamamie solution to that situation too. One that no doubt involves Christie doing everything you want done. That there is the Democratic Party definition of bipartisanship in a nutshell — do what we want and someday we might throw you a bone.

Not this time Babs.

"The bottom line is that you've got to at some point take a proactive step," said Assembly Majority Leader Joseph Cryan (D-Union).

You're a laugh riot there Joey. Chris Christie took a proactive step nearly a year ago. Hello, McFly, is anybody home? Pass the toolkit kids. That would be proactive.

We did things your way for far too long. Look where it got us! So stop stalling.

Come November the entire state legislature is up for re-election. Maybe you guys should ask Nancy Pelosi how it feels to ignore the will of the people.
