Social Security is meant to be – to make sure that no one who’s worked hard and played by the rules and paid into the system grows old in poverty in America. Chris Christie Read Quote
I don’t disagree with ending Congress’ retirement program. I’m a governor; I don’t have a retirement program in my state, and I don’t disagree with that. Chris Christie Read Quote
We have got to stop worrying about being loved and start worrying about being respected. And that’s exactly how I’ll lead our country. Chris Christie Read Quote

The job of a leader, the job of a governor, the job of a president, is to get the people in the room and bang enough heads together and rub enough arms and cajole enough to have them put the country and the state’s greater interest ahead of their own personal partisan interest. That’s what we did in New Jersey and that’s the model for America. Chris Christie Read Quote

That’s the right direction, Mr. President, not the wrong direction. Chris Christie Read Quote
I’ve always said there is a boulevard that exists between compromising your principles and getting everything you want. Now, we should never compromise our principles. And I never have. Those are the things that people vote for you on, that’s the core of who you are. But there’s always a boulevard between that and getting everything you want. Chris Christie Read Quote
Well, let me tell you, after three years of Obama, we are hopeless and changeless, and we need Mitt Romney to bring us back, to bring America back. Chris Christie Read Quote

We pay a price when our political system cannot come together and agree on the difficult but necessary steps to rein in entitlement spending or reform our tax system. Chris Christie Read Quote
