For those that think we should not criticize wrong doing in the Christie administration because it will lead to Hillary, you are wrong both on moral and strategic grounds.
We cannot act like Democrats who seek to whitewash everything done by Obama, because we act on principle and we have to stand for the law and the Constitution, that’s what we should be about.
Moreover, what we say matters in calling out Democratic wrong doing because the media is complicit in covering it up. Yet, what we say as to wrong doing as regards Republicans matters almost not at all, as the media will track down, blow up and exploit any wrong doing by any Republican, no matter how small. What we say matters not strategically, it does matter what we say morally.
If, with the election over two years away, you believe that he is the best and there are no other choices, then yes, we are truly in trouble if that is all we have. Strategically, the media was setting him up to be the candidate in order to knock him down.
I’d rather be right in every sense of that word. Right, done right, is embracing, as was Reagan. Reagan never allowed the Left to pigeonhole him, as the Left has done to present day Republicans with the “evil white male racist women haters club” refrain. That refrain sticks, not because of truth, but because a lie repeated often enough, not properly refuted, stays.
We have over two years, we need to get on the horse now and pick the best candidate out there….

FORT LEE – Emergency responders were delayed in attending to four medical situations – including one in which a 91-year-old woman lay unconscious – due to traffic gridlock caused by unannounced closures of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge, according to the head of the borough’s EMS department.
The woman later died, borough records show.
In at least two of those instances, response time doubled, noted EMS coordinator Paul Favia, who documented those cases in a Sept. 10 letter to Mayor Mark Sokolich, which The Record obtained.
On Sept. 9, the first day of the traffic paralysis, EMS crews took seven to nine minutes to arrive at the scene of a vehicle accident where four people were injured, when the response time should have been less than four minutes, he wrote.
It also took EMS seven minutes to reach an unconscious 91-year-old woman who later died of cardiac arrest at a hospital. Although he did not say her death was directly caused by the delays, Favia noted that “paramedics were delayed due to heavy traffic on Fort Lee Road and had to meet the ambulance en-route to the hospital instead of on the scene.”
Emergency responders also were late in getting to a third medical emergency that first morning of the lane closures. It took Favia nearly an hour to arrive at a building where a person was experiencing chest pains “due to standstill traffic on Route 46 East. The Mutual Aid ambulance coming from Palisades Park and paramedics coming out of Leonia were also delayed due to the excessive traffic,” he wrote.
Delays in emergency response times continued the next morning when a call that should have taken three or four minutes to respond to took seven, Favia wrote. In that instance, a man was experiencing chest pains.
