You don’t understand, the RINO’s have a strategy of dividing the conservative vote. We need to do the same in reverse. We need ALL the RINO’s to enter the race side by side and run to the bitter end. Ryan, Jeb, Christie, and any other RINO who can help split the so called moderate vote.

Hey Crispy Cream, how’s it feeling just to get a mere taste of “Palinization”.

That’s a liberal for you. Reality isn’t nearly as important as the fantasy.

A while back here in Michigan we had a GOP state rep pull some pretty unethical campaign crap. Basically he found a weak democrat and supported him in a race to save the seat for a stronger republican. The liberals screamed bloody murder demanding that he be charged with a crime but he did nothing illegal. The democrats do that crap in elections across the country every year.

It’s hard to square that meandering, Palinesque bleating with Christie’s reputation for candor.

My word...Sarah Palin should charge these libtards rent...

Well, Christie certainly served his purpose didn’t he?

He took unemployment numbers, amnesty and the economy off the front pages and out of the headlines.

The libs also got to call him a “conservative” and throw him under the bus.

I’d say it’s a win for them, and a win for us as far as eliminating Christie from 2016 consideration.

NEXT!!

I’ve heard about this ‘moderate vote’ stuff for far too long. The truth is Romney lost because Democrats cheated as they always do and disaffected [formerly] Republican voters just stayed home.

I also think that ‘moderate’ and the effects of a terribly bad economy, horrible foreign diplomatic situation, outright lies about employment statistics, taxes, and onerous ObamaCare rules are mutually exclusive now, too.

IOW, there are now those that can, and the millions and millions and millions of those that “can’t and won’t” do sh!t except collect a government check while sitting on their a$$. IMO, the LAST thing we need is a over-populated slate of GOP RINOs, backstabbers, wannabes and also-rans.

We have to stop places like Ethanol Subsidized IOWA and crazy individualist New Hampshire et al from determining our fate before we even get to Super Tuesday (e.g., here in Georgia where I can drop a dime on any remaining backstabbing RINOS).

Sorry, just ain’t buying that spiel.

In a statement so full of word salad it might have come from Sarah Palin,

the PDS is strong with this one...

Love the line, “uses the power of his office to take revenge on his enemies”. Where I have I heard that before...Valerie Jarrett/Obummer?

Yep, it's complicated, but you may be misunderstanding what I'm saying.

I don't want a moderate to win, I just want them ALL to run and split the vote so that Cruz can walk through and get the nomination.

It's how they've won for a long, long time, it's time for it to backfire on them.

I hope the political piranha eat him alive. there is a lot of food to go around there.

As for those other things you mentioned, they don’t have to answer for any of that and won’t answer for any of that, because we have allowed them to get away with it.

Joanie Walsh couldn’t muster much more than a “tsk-tsk” over
the Benghazi and IRS scandals. She is no doubt happy to finally
find something she can really sink her vampire teeth into. What
is that word women hate that starts with a ‘C’?

Here’s my theory - any publicity is good publicity. Christie in the first ten minutes of his press conference looked and sounded like a leader. No one except the nattering class watched the rest of the press conference but he was seen as willing to take all questions. So I think he came out of this looking stronger. As far as his politics, I don’t like some of them but if he’s the nominee I’ll vote for him to help get someone with an R after his name in the White House and if Hillary runs, to keep her out. So flame away.

I’m just not going to behave like a liberal. It doesn’t appear that Chunky C did anything wrong. Doesn’t mean I support him.

A couple years ago one of our democrats here in Michigan was accused of molesting a long lost cousin some 50 years ago. It was an evidence free rumor that popped up in the middle of a campaign. I spoke up in his defense but would have never voted for him because he was a liberal turd.

The only ones who kept hyping this bozo for President were the liberal media. Now they’ll move on to their next choice.

Somebody (not me) is going to join into the circling of wagons, but not for the greater good of the Republican Party. The Northeastern Republicans will mount the cavalry charge to provide relief for Christie, but for only one reason - so he may later on lose to Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless.

Actually, it shall make little difference if Herself or Christie may succeed the Current Occupant now squatting in the Oval Orifice, the same old practice of “settled law” (i.e., propping up Obamacare, continued “amnesty” of future Democrat voters, total suppression of the right to keep and USE firearms, extending the reach and power of the IRS, snooping with the aid of government agencies by extralegal means, and unilateral retreat in world leadership) will continue, with scarcely a hiccup, with the same appointed people staying in power, or assured of immunity from prosecution should they leave office.

Better Christies’s potential run for the Presidential nomination be killed and laid to permanent rest, than to go through the farce we dealt with in 2011 and 2012, as Romney slashed up his opponents, then crumbled like a charlotte russe dessert in a crocodile’s mouth when he faced the Great Pretender.

Chris Christie is an imposing person, given to bluster and projecting a menacing aura. Add to that his physical presence, and he comes off like the schoolyard bully the rest of the kids are just afraid to confront. But in a pair-up with Herself, the same old dynamic comes into play, “Don’t hit the girl”, which makes the fight, if there is one, doubly frustrating.

I also understand your line of thought and one might have agreed with that years ago. However, I am not so naïve to believe that the ‘decision’ won’t be made until everyone has had a chance to vote.

IMO, expanding the slate and confusing it with lying, duplicitous RINOs like Ryan (who has turned on a dime since his little foray into the VP-ship) only dilutes the true need to actually see and hear real conservative candidates early-on where they can make headway. No way in cowboy hell do I want a slate of RINO pukes running around Iowa lying as is their demonstrated habit.
