I don’t know, guys. I just don’t know.
“We didn’t have a political strategy discussion. I said, `Congratulations on your win last night, Mr. President,’ and he said, `Thank you,”’ Christie told reporters today at a National Guard Armory in Franklin Township…
Asked if he’s spoken to Romney since his loss, Christie said: “No; we exchanged e-mails last night,” Christie said. “We haven’t spoken on the phone yet.”
One of Romney’s biggest fundraisers told WaPo (anonymously), “A lot of people feel like Christie hurt, that we definitely lost four or five points between the storm and Chris Christie giving Obama a chance to be bigger than life.”

I think Christie had four motivations:
1) to plump himself for reelection,
2) to create an opening for a 2016 presidential run,
3) to keep Obama from patching things up with Christie’s reelection rival, Corey Booker, and
4) to get even with Romney for having snubbed him for VP.
His very simple reason for waiting for what was the last minute as far as his opportunity to strike at Romney is that Romney’s campaign was giving him the funding and excuse to campaign around the country, ostensibly for Romney but really for himself, until the storm Sandy sucked up the last week before the election.
Don’t argue, guys. We’re on the same team.
We’re all pissed right now - stunned, actually - at the debacle that occurred - and what will be coming down the pike at us.
Let’s figure out a way not to get f***ed again, and how we’re going to put the screws to these people before they can wreck the country.
I agree with wifey !
Crist part two !
He
Has been
Plotting that Judas turn
For awhile
Christie will become Jon Corzines next body servant..
You cannot get much lower than that...
“another fine mess you’ve gotten me into with my party”
I hope Tubby Turncoat runs as a Democrat in 2016
“...to keep Obama from patching things up with Christie’s reelection rival, Corey Booker,...”
You know what - I never even thought of that. FuBO DID have a blowup with Booker about his going off the plantation, now that you mention it...
As for his 2016 run, I think we can safely say that he’s finished as far as conservatives go; the RINO bluebloods may try to resurrect him, but again, we need to start figuring out - NOW - how to stop both sides from f***ing us over again.
This is a battle in a larger war; we need to remember that always - in the same way that it took Pearl Harbor, Bataan, Corregidor, the Phillippines, etc., to get the surrender document on the USS Missouri.
I know it’s hard to see that right now - but it’s DEFINITELY how the other side looks and has looked at this struggle for control. What was Mao’s saying? Three steps forward, one step back?
They see the long field. They make a gain, then sit on it and exploit it, regroup, and come back for another. If they get defeated, they wait and try again. And in the meantime, they have multiple other attempts going on - so much so that we find ourselves concentrating on one or two things and getting the sh*t kicked out of us on twelve other fronts.
“Our” side has RINOs and spineless fools that we keep electing, hoping that just because they have an “R” after their name that they think like we do. They don’t. I think Christie - and as FredZarguna mentioned, Specter - are perfect examples.
We want to crush the other side; they want to go along to get along.
It may indeed be possible that Christie was just looking out for “his folks” in Jersey. But it sure as hell didn’t come off that way, and in the face of an election with such monumental consequences, I am of the mindset ANY damage, even the slightest, became magnified and Murphy’s law kicked in.
That’s about it...I do hope that when he settles in for the night, each night, as disaster looms on this country, he has a chance to think about the part he played in it, and how history will view him for it - there’s a certain Revolutionary War “hero” who sold out too, and he’s not remembered as the Hero of Saratoga (which he was) - he’s remembered as the guy who gave the keys to the defense of America to the enemy at a desperate time, all because he didn’t get his way.
He’s a disgusting fat body.
Your Bush republican party. Your divided against itself and what were once its principles republican party.
Tell me again the number of registered republican voters who stayed home? How many more have left the party altogether? Why is Ron Paul so interesting to so many younger Americans? What do they say are their reasons, not what you think they are?
The rinos have tried everything but principles and learning how to fight.
My advice? Get the first and the will for the second comes naturally. Get the first and the army to fight with will join you.
We have the will and the principles, just no one for us to join. Maybe you in what was the GOP should join us.
Stick a fork in this porker....he’s done.
How do you say Colin Powell in Italian?
For those who are clueless about what defines character.......Christie is a punk.
Hey, hows that new storm doing over the east coast? “...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.”
I’m glad we got to see the true Chris Christie... TRAITOR!!!!
Chris Christie - Chode.
LOLOLOL I don’t think he needs to get plump....and of course he’s mad he didn’t get the vp pick....he’s full of hate and revenge.
lolololol
He can fall off the face of the Earth for all I care. I will never support him or attend anything that he attends.
He’ll switch to Dem because that’s his only path to the White House now.
in a crazy, retarded way, that will be the only way we will ever get a person who is not a marxist in the white house.
as a matter of fact, if i thought republican politicians were clever, (which sadly they are not), i would say the se this whole thing up to be like a psuedo manchurian candidate.
