CHRIS CHRISTIE CONFLICT

We are finding out that what some see in Christie that made him a good candidate for president turns out to be the very thing we hate in politics. He was decisive and seemed to be able to accomplish things without the usual indecision that goes with difficult political decisions. Political decisions are difficult because half the people what it one-way and the other half want it another way. In New Jersey, it seemed like the Governor had little opposition thus could make decisive decisions: therefore, was a great leader. It turns out that behind the scene Christie operated like a dictator who people feared and had a “well oiled” political machine that operated throughout state agencies and with the all-powerful “Port Authority” administration. He was able to gain great leverage and did use Sandy Hurricane Relief money to his political advantage. He was doing exactly what we do not want our politicians to do to achieve a result that we like to see; that is an irresolvable conflict for the voters. We should keep that in mind as the circle of truth is widening with the Mayor of Hoboken stepping up first, but there will be more, many more. I hope the people of New Jersey come down on the side of honesty in politics even if it gives the appearance of indecision.
