Gonna be a MSM Christie lovefest...they hope he is the next Romney/McCain...the next Karl Rove establishment GOP RINO loser.

Yup. The leftstream media will be on their knees fluffing him generously until the GOP convention and then the knives come out. What's amazing is that the RINOs keep falling for this little game. Lucy with the football.

[shalom aleichem]

Fat bastard is everywhere. Media picking another GOP nominee, and then after convention they will devour his carcass.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

In three...two...one...

Good Morning everyone!

Thanks for the thread and ping AB

Is the pain medication the reason that Rick Perry looked at me through the TV camera during one of the debates and told me that if I don’t want to support his favorite illegal aliens then I have no heart? I don’t care if Rick Perry wants to spend his own money on his favorite charity or if everybody in Texas wants to spend their own money on their very favorite charity like sending illegals to college, but Mr. Perry crossed the line from conservative to lecturing liberal with that remark. And I don’t think it was medication that caused that to happen.

The MSM is orgasmic over Christie, and they'll ask the following in their subtle and sneaky ways:

"Please, tell us again, governor, how the Tea Party will destroy the GOP and how they'll never, ever, win an election against Hillary."

"Isn't Ted Cruz a total wacko who only wants to obstruct the president and prevent his glorious transformation of America?"

sickening

Poor linda. She picked up another opponent (the fourth) this week. The primary next spring will be fun. The more the merrier. Anything to hold linda below 50%.

Good for Christie. He would not let Steffie corner him into some ‘national’ gotcha issues.

Dick Durbin

Only one member of what Greg Gutfeld called "The Periodic Table Of Idiots" during the week. Must be very lonely to be the only representative of such a fine group.

[spokeshave]

The website is simply a prelude of what is to come when people try to file claims or doctors attempt to get permission to provide even the simplest of procedures

And just wait till they start issuing orders to the doctors to match client with the care required....and prescriptions....don't forget all those complex prescription orders.

I see not just amputations on the wrong limb....but on the wrong patient.

and don't expect quick response for a broken arm:

And so you have an acute appendix....?

Mark Wattson, 35, from Swindon may have been the victim of botched surgery after he had to have his appendix removed twice

To his shock, surgeons from the same team told him that not only was his appendix still inside him, but it had ruptured - a potentially fatal complication.

In a second operation it was finally removed, leaving Mr Wattson fearing another organ might have been taken out during the first procedure.

The blunder has left Mr Wattson jobless, as bosses at the shop where he worked did not believe his story and sacked him.

Mr Wattson told of the moment he realised there had been a serious mistake.

'I was lying on a stretcher in terrible pain and a doctor came up to me and said that my appendix had burst,' he said.

'I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I told these people I had my appendix out just four weeks earlier but there it was on the scanner screen for all to see.

'I thought, "What the hell did they slice me open for in the first place?"

'I feel that if the surgery had been done correctly in the first place I wouldn't be in the mess I am today. I'm disgusted by the whole experience.'

Mr Wattson first went under the knife on July 7 after experiencing severe abdominal pain for several weeks. He was discharged but exactly a month later he had to dial 999 after collapsing in agony. Mr Wattson

Mr Wattson was readmitted to the Great Western Hospital in Swindon after his appendix ruptured.

Nurse will see you now

Sit back and enjoy your Obamacare.

Rick Perry for US Senate?

If it weren't so series, it would be funny.

Nahhh, it is funny.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration's HealthCare.gov adviser Jeffrey Zients said on Friday that the trouble-plagued federal healthcare website is improving, but that higher volumes of visitors are exposing new capacity and software issues.

“The Periodic Table Of Idiots”

Hey...I like that. Can we see the entire table?

Steffie is trying hard to get Christie to say something negative about other Pubbies. Steffie would LUV to help create dissension within the ranks of the GOP.

FACE THE NATION (CBS): Leon Panetta, former defense secretary and CIA director

Good, they can ask if he got the order at 5pm or “immediately” when the phone call came in at 3:42pm?

The TOC agent called Washington at the 'top of the incident', 342pm. At 5pm the President is already aware of the attack from 'when we received that phone call', just updated on the fire. Panetta's 'Soon after the initial reports' is 1 hour 20 minutes later, which doesn't jive with "when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure"...Will FACE THE NATION (CBS) fail on clarifying this?

Background;

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-57544719/timeline-how-benghazi-attack-probe-unfolded/

9:40 p.m. (3:40 p.m. ET): Gunfire and an explosion are heard. A TOC agent sees dozens of armed people over security camera flowing through a pedestrian gate at the compound’s main entrance. It is not clear how the gate was opened.

The agent hits the alarm and alerts the CIA security team in the nearby annex and the Libyan 17th of February Brigade, one of several powerful militias serving as a de facto security presence in Benghazi. The embassy in Tripoli and the State Dept. command center were also alerted.

11 p.m. (5 p.m. ET): Just ahead of the weekly meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Chairman of Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey, White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon tells President Obama of the attack and the fire at the main villa. The president and those officials discuss possible responses to the situation.

http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/Panetta-Benghazi-Testimony20130207.pdf

Soon after the initial reports about the attack on Benghazi, General Dempsey and I met with President Obama and he ordered all available DoD assets to respond to the attack in Libya and to protect U.S. personnel and interests in the region.

TRANSCRIPT: Presidential debate on foreign policy at Lynn University
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/22/transcript-presidential-debate-on-foreign-policy-at-lynn-university/

“Now with respect to Libya, as I indicated in the last debate, when we received that phone call, I immediately made sure that, number one, that we did everything we could to secure those Americans who were still in harm’s way;”

The thread below gives a lot of info on Obamacare and its impact on Medicare/Medicare Advantage:

Seniors lose insurance and doctors under Obamacare [Thank you, AARP /sarc]

[Iron Munro]

Hillary is 15 years older than Christie, will be in her 70th year in January 2017

That will make her 293 in dog years .

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I hope for that too.

but i sure don’t want another ‘primary circus” with those shows like last time. i don’t think Reince Preibus can handle this.

[rodguy911]

Looks like Fat Bastard Sunday. Oh well, lots of other things to bring up in the news other than why Christie refused to help Cuccinelli when asked, never a dull moment.

[Alas Babylon!]

If not let’s make one...

My list:
McCain
Graham
Durbin
Biden*
Hagel*
Shumer
Feinstein
Boxer
Pelosi
Wasserman-Schultz
Carl Levin
Peter King
Axelrod

The names on the list are chosen not only because they are idiots, but also due to the number of repeat Sunday morning appearances they make. Biden and Hagel haven’t made many appearances since Biden became VP and Hagel left Nebraska, but they really used to, as much as McCain and Graham today, so I’ll leave them on the list.

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Does John Kerry agree with his boss?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3073182/posts

“I do believe that there is a basis for a resolution [because] Iran’s Supreme Leader has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons,” Obama told reporters.
