"I'm a guy who tells the truth all the time" well, there goes another lie!

Christie campaign letter promised 'no harm' to police, firefighter pensions

"The claim that any harm would come to your pension when I'm elected Governor is absolutely untrue. It is a100% lie," Chris Christie wrote to New Jersey law enforcement officers during his campaign against Jon Corzine. The 2009 letter, and a near-carbon copy sent to firefighters, has resurfaced amid Christie's bid to overhaul public servants' pension system.
"Nothing will change for the pensions of current officers, future officers or retirees in a Christie Administration," says the "Open Letter to Members of Our Law Enforcement Community," simply signed "Chris."

"I have repeated time and time again that the pension agreement we made with our member our law enforcement community must be respected," the 2009 letter adds. "It is a sacred trust."

Christie sent a similar "sacred trust" letter to firefighters through the state, adding: "The notion that I would eliminate, change, or alter your pension is not only a lie, but cannot be further from the truth.

"No one will stand up for you more than I will."

"Do not believe the lies that have been spread about my proposals,"Christie told both groups. "Your pension will be protected when I am elected Governor."

Governor Christie is the best thing to happen to New Jersey in my life-time. He said what was needed to get help for the state. Obama said what he needed to get re-elected.

The election is over. Can we please just let this issue rest in peace?

Please consider a run in 2016. We need leadership like yours for the future of
our country.

Why is it such a big deal when one party member compliments another? It used to be called "common courtesy". There's no harm in recognizing when somebody's done a good job no matter what political party they're affiliated with!

Ok what ever feelings people have on Christie are irrelevant right now, I'm one that did not vote for him, BUT I am proud and happy with his Sandy performance, he has been there for all who has been affected. He stood up and did what is right, and that is what matters now. At least he gives kuddoes to those who deserve it even if it's a democrat, who cares.

dont worry christie these far right wingers will blame anyone but themselves for losing this election. as an independent christie went up a couple notches and i will consider voting for him in future elections. it was nice to finally see both sides working together. i didnt vote obama but the right is way to extreme. obama could save 10 kids from a burning building and they still wouldnt say good job.

didnt know the gop are cannibals too, eating their own in this example huh? boy am i glad they have been turned away at the polls, and will continue to be for quite some time now, as they are relegated to minority party status.

I do not agree with everything President Obama did or said but if Governor Christie would do half as well, taking into consideration constituents feelings and needs, not just his own, New Jersey would be a better state to live in

We have been turned into a dictatorship, not by a person but by a political party, the democrats. They have captured the minds of the less fortunate and will keep them below the poverty line. Than they will promise them benefits, etc and they in turn will continue to vote for them. In the old days you emphasized hard work to advance yourself. Today we commend those that don't work or should I say work the system. Well you get the picture.

1 - Christie campaigns for Romney all over the country, even delivering a typically nasty key not address at the convention. At the heart of almost everything Christie talks about is LESS government. Please...can anyone tell me how prohibiting people from purchasing gasoline when the need it is LESS government. It seems Christie thinks government should stay out of our lives unless it's our sex lives, our marriages, or when we buy gasoline. Hypocrisy for the sake of political expedience.
2 - There are two reasons Christie kissed Obama's ring. The first is because he needs billions from the feds (despite being the top supporter of Romney who repeatedly suggested eliminating FEMA and letting states fend for themselves.) Even Christie knows that is simply not possible. The other reason, and the most horrific as it involved using hurricane victims as props, is so he can have lots of footage for his 2016 presidential run when he will attempt to make the case he's a more moderate Republican and will use his photo ops with Obama as proof. Wake up folks...this guy is all hat and no cattle. Why didn't he have gasoline staged and ready BEFORE THE STORM??? He spent five days telling the rest of us to prepare for a monster strom on the coast. You know...where the tankers come in. Yet HE didn't prepare. Instead he waited for Obama to show up to beg for generators to be flown in from CA. Why weren't those here BEFORE the storm? Because he has a 2016 campaign to prepare for. Period.

Govenor

I need to disagree with zing. Obama showing up in NJ for one day and then leaves to campaign - really? Bush was crucified for his mishandling of New Orleans. And President Obama did what for NJ? Showing up doesn't cut it in my book, maybe yours. I think the press is covering Obama's incompetence and so are alot of other people for whatever reason. We should applaud Christie for his efforts regarding this hurricane disaster - not Obama! Shame on our President for not showing up NOW! The election is over.

WOW, a lot of you are posting. Which means you still have a house and electricity !!!!!

A conservative reaches across the aisle to work with the President and look how he's criticized and ostracized by his party.

And you want to know why nothing gets done in Washington?

Cooperation between parties should be encouraged and celebrated if you ever want to see this country improve.

Shame on all of you who've criticized Christie for this. You're the reason we're spinning our wheels while other nations soar past us.

Mitt Rummey = another check casher.....

enjoy the next four years all you check cashers .....but when bill comes due you all will cry and hurt the hardest.......

Romney was knocked off the front page nationally because of hurricane Sandy. Christie kept Obama on the front page.

Its Republicans like our Governor that made Obama get re-elected.

governor christie:
my family voted for you for governor. you disappointed most republicans.
you did not have to deny gov. romney as the presidential the opportunity to show his concern and support to the poor suffering people of our great state in our time of need. gov. christie it was so transparent that it was you that was playing presidential.
politics. did you think by denying gov. romney entry president obama was going to deny the people of our great state the aid and financial assistants of his administration?
a word of advice in the future: do not allow your mouth to write a check your body can't cash.

4 more years! Forward

Love this. Even with high unemployment the president still win. Too much angry repubs.

This is one time I have to defend Chris Christie: The man gave credit where credit was due, in the midst of a natural disaster, and all the disenfranchised families as a result of. Sometimes we have to put politics aside and actually care about people's lives. Christie did that and was criticized by his own party. Tells you that the GOP finds integrity is only good when it's politically convenient. www.firebrandcentral.com

Maybe you did, maybe you didnt, But you are tweeting JUSTIN BIEBER asking for help when YOU ARE THE GOVORNER and people are applying for unemployment might be lucky to get paid after christmas

I'm really sick and tired of all the foolishness. Does it really matter who's the president? No! This is turning into a racist issue. Everyone knows every thing Romany was saying was a lie and during the debates he only agree to doing thing cause he heard President Obama say it. We know the system was screwed up before President Obama was elected. This country gave Bush 8 years when they knew he was screwing things up and we didn't get this much feed back you'll just let him do what he wanted and just dealt with it.
Everything Obama tried to get passed for changed was denied because they knew if the was to agree it would make change but they didn't want him to be praised for the change. So what they do? Deny everything and say hey let's wait till time for re-election, get President Obama out of here allow the republican to come in, then past everything that President Obama brought fourth to make republicans look good.
We as people need to change let's start being true to ourselves and start excepting right is right and wrong is wrong. President Obama didn't take anything from us. Jobs are created by man which can come and go. Until we get out and do things for ourselves and create our own job then with it last. Mitt Romany can't put money in the people's pocket and President Obama can't take anything from us. We are in control of us! Stop putting your lives in the hands of man and take charge of ourselves.
Be blessed!!!!

Gov Christie, WHERE ARE YOU? You have not been in Somerset Count and in particular Bernards Township. Glad to see you ventured from the shore all the way to Westfield! Bernards Township has the most JCP&L power outages excluding 4 shore communities. as of 38% of the twon is without power, 10 days after the storm. Drive around town, on the roads that are open, and you will not see a JCP&L truck.
YOu said you would hold the power companies accountable, where is the action after the big talk.
Represent all of New Jersey not just the shore!

Yes! a lie he contradict everything he said. I feel everyone who voted for President Obama did it from there hearts. That's the problem we as people want to over look the 4 years ago when Bush was president and try and blame President Obama for everything. I feel he did a GREAT JOB counting everything they allowed him to do. Don't act like you never put your mind into doing something and once you got started there haven't been set backs that's prohibited you from moving forward to what you've planned. In order for things to run smoothly and the way planned you have to clean house. You can't just patch things up! You have to fix what's broken before moving foward. I believe that's what President Obama was doing for those four years. In the mean time what have you done for yourself instead of trying to gain a pitty party? So what if your taxes will go toward hospitalization. I pay taxes just like you do. I sure when your parent birth you or there parents birth them someone else dollars was used as well. Never forget what is given or gotten can be taken away and you never know if you will have to walk in those shoes.

I just read that the FEMA truck sitting in Staten Island is "closed to to weather"...THIS IS A GOOD JOB??? Christie's political life is officially over. He couldn't get elected as dog catcher.

Disasters are merey photo-ops for politicians; the bigger the disaster, th bigger the politicians, the bigger th media coverage. Christie did more than anyone else in the Country to have Obama re-elected. Christie gave him a full week of prime-time photo-ops where Obama could do what he does best - make empty promises and get National headlines on the eve of Election Day.

It is obvious that he's setting himseld up for a 2016 Presidential run. It really started with his speech at the Republican Convention. It was all "Me", "I", "Mine", etc. He spoke about Romney only for a brief moment. If Romney had won, Christie wouldn't be able to run until 2020...and by then he would be out of office, and 'out of site' too long. Now, when 2016 rolls around, he will be still on the people's mind, and he will have a good chance of making it.

Christie is doing a great job helping people out after the storm, but he is, first and foremost, a politician....which doesn't make him a bad person....

I cannot stand this fat sack of crap. This guy barely got by at Seton Hall Law School and bullies service members calling them idiots if they don't agree with him. I'm as red as they come but I cannot stand this windbag.

The timer has sounded - Gov. MeatLoaf is done

Right now you can bet your bottom dollar that Christie is somehwere with half a burger in his mouth.

Issa allegedly violated House ethics rules with anti-Obama video

Governor Christie, you are toast as far as 2016 goes. The real rulers of the GOP saw you as a traitor for not blaming Obama for Sandy. So, forget about 2016 and concentrate all your energy on being the Governor of all New Jersey and not just the GOP.
Good luck and congratulations on showing up with our POTUS.

Why when you talk about christie do the christie supporters bring up previous governers, what sense does this make? Oh we have no right to be unhappy with this governer? maybe i didnt' like corzine either. SO what.

what does previous governers matter? We can't be unhappy with CHristie on his own merits? maybe i didnt liek corzine either is that allowed?

The only thing he said that was worse than his slobbering love affair with Obama was his gushing school girl crush on the no-talent human fecal sample, gravel voiced Bruce Springsteen. I would rather listen to fingernails on a chalkboard than that commie-scum's 'music'--puke.

They came, they offered, they left !!!!!!

Much to do about nada.

The simple fact that so many liberals, including on this post are supporting Christie highlights, if still needed, which party he helped during the election. Christie is the worst kind for party member. It is normal for members of both parties, democrats or republicans, to campaign for their platform, but to pretend that you are this partisan conservative, speak at the GOP convention, and then backstab the candidate that you said you were supporting 6 days before the election is dishonorable. This, to say nothing of the validity of the compliment, when so many of us are still without water, electricity, gas, and FEMA's office is closed for bad weather! In the end, at best, he only served himself, and perhaps exacted revenge for the VP spot that he didn't get. What a price to pay.

I am an Obama supporter and a loyal Democrat. I am chiming in because I think this situation is FAR beyond the political BS that has been mentioned in some of the comments above. Governor Christie looks like he hasn't slept in two weeks....it's because he probably hasn't gotten a good night sleep in two weeks! He is working his a** off during this disaster. The proof is in the results....NJ is in better shape than NY. Politics doesn't matter. The guy loves NJ, and during this disaster, he's fighting like hell for New Jersey to get back on its feet. There will be plenty of opportunities to criticize his policies...but for now, we owe him a thank you for his efforts.

Where is the LIKE Button here for Greg?

Christies best line..."I Don't Lie"

I follow that..too hard to remember

GREAT JOB Gov!!! Great Job working with the President....

Oh brother… politicians used to deny that they used drugs or had affairs, now they have to deny that they were actually civil to a member of the opposite party. This is how bitterly divisive our nation has become!

@ Chris Taylor.... after your "political survival guide" we can all shut the hell up now and allow the decent educated spanking to take effect on the dormant minds that for some reason are extremely myopic in their view of real life.

@Chris traynor..

Ron Paul should have been the nominee for the republican party, hahahaha! Maybe then they may have had a chance. Don't be mad @ Christie, Mitt was not the right choice for the party.

I absolutely love watching/reading the blame game. I can always count on a few good laughs from it, hahaha!

If the comments in this stream represent the average mindset of our nation, we are in deep doo doo!! I never could understand how you could be so hateful towards people you don't know and will most likely never meet. I voted for the person I felt most suited for the job; maybe he won and maybe he didn't but now that doesn't really matter. We must support OUR President of the US whoever he is because he represents--period. And we must treat that position with the dignity and respect it deserves, and as the leader of the free world no matter who holds it. We as a nation have to do better--we just have to. God Bless America and God Bless these United States!
