I understand your logic. I think it’s reasoned. It seems to me we should simply reject the media until it wants to look at some real scandals.
Traffic-gate?
What about:
Fast and furious Gate?
Benghazi Gate?
NSA Gate?
Jobs Gate?
Spending Gate?
Obamacare Gate?
I mean, every one of these is more important than some traffic jam, and yet what does the press focus on.
And we’ll let them get away with it.
I guess if you have C-R-I-S-T somewhere in your name and Bowbama reaches around to scratch his arse, he’s gonna poke one of them in the eye. Chris Christie or Charlie Crist...could it be a death knell for Christie like it was for Twinkle Toes Crist?
If anything, I suspect he was always angling for a spot as the U.S. Attorney General in a Republican administration -- a natural position for a former Federal prosecutor. Maybe he sabotaged Romney's campaign in his own small way after finding out that someone else was being lined up for the job.
If that sounds outlandish, just consider this: Bridget Kelly, his staff member who was fired the other day after these e-mails and text messages came out, used to work for another former Federal prosecutor and liberal Republican from the Northeast who may have been given serious consideration for that role: Rudy Giuliani.
It has to do with how Christie handled an emergency, assuming he's telling the truth. Once he was assured that his staff wasn't involved, a governor who cared about people would've said "I don't care what the cause of the problem is, let's do everything we can to get that trafiic snarl taken care of". Nobody's brought up the bad governing conclusion that comes from believing Christie.
Of course we should let it be used to destroy Christie. Conservatives are sick of the RNC and their friends in high places choosing candidates conservatives don't support, then saying it's our fault they lose. They've shown us they'd rather lose elections than cede power to constitutional conservatives. Christie, their current fave, was a real bad choice, and not just because he doesn't support any of our issues....by his own admission in this situation, he's a lousy governor. If the ptb try to give us Jeb Bush or Paul Ryan or someone else who isn't a constitutional conservative, we should be just as thrilled if the dems and the media destroy them, too.
With any luck, only Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Rand Paul and the others who stand with them will be left when primary season comes around.
Christie's grope-fest with Obama was the straw that broke the camel's back.
He was a questionable choice to begin with but his exuberance at strutting around with Obama
coupled with his lukewarm support of the Romney candidacy confirmed his status as a big RINO.
IMHO he has definately lost any chance at winning the Tea Party and Constitutional conservatives.The Boys In Blue
Right. You know it had to be bad for them to play the CC card now
Funny that's what Mary Landreu's been doing lately
Obama’s wearing lavender...and you know what that means.
Yes...look at his keynote speech for Romney, it was a keynote speech for Christie. .
Well..., I wouldn’t argue against that point. It’s entirely possible that’s all he was looking for. I do think popularity rising as it did there for a while, he may have been seduced by it. Your point is reasoned.
I wouldn’t want to vote for Christie. I might just sit it out. Course look what we have in there now. It would be hard to sit out again. I did vote Romney holding my nose, but McCain was too much of a turncoat for me to vote for him. No freakin’ way!
Look, I’m not saying Christie has done good here. I think he may be problematic on this issue. It’s still a traffic jam vs major nation and international scandals.
Which deserve air time? Christie, for this? Nah. Sorry, this media should be laughed out of town on this one, and I think there very well may be more shoes to drop on this.
Where was the tenacity and follow-up on Obama malfeasance?
LOL, OM- don’t tell me she’s got more sense than Christie.
Ouch!
I wrote this ignorant sack of blubber off when he went berserk over criticism of a muzzie judge he had appointed:
“Ignorance is behind the criticism of Sohail Mohammed,” he told a reporter asking about the complaints that he may be inadequate to be a judge because he defended Muslim Americans who were wrongly arrested post-9/11. “He is an extraordinary American who is an outstanding lawyer and played an integral role in the post-September 11th period in building bridges between the Muslim American community in this state and law enforcement,” Gov. Christie argued, adding that he was “disgusted, candidly, by some of the questions he was asked… at the Senate judiciary committee.”
But it was a follow-up question on the fear of Sharia Law that set the governor off. “Sharia Law has nothing to do with this at all, it’s crazy!” he cried. “The guy is an American citizen!” He concluded that the “Sharia Law business is just crap… and I’m tried of dealing with the crazies,” adding with disgust and frustration that “it’s just unnecessary to be accusing this guy of things just because of his religious background.”
Christie will not be forgiven for setting up the pitch for Obongo to win in Autumn 2012. NEVER. EVER! Traitor.
“Christie vs Hillary, another histerical first, two chicks in a race.”
Chins vs Cankles.... Moobs vs Pantsuit.... Captain Cellulite vs Madam Menopause
So much funny, so little time :)
I agree with you, AC. The trumped up story about Crispy wanting to run for POTUS comes from a plant, aka the media. When has anyone heard Crisp say he wanted it? AG sounds more like a position(other than spooning Bam) that he may like.
Hilary will be president without having to run for the job—Mark my words—she will be appointed!
That walk and love fest with Obama—ONE WEEK before the election was a stab in the back—He is a modern Benidict Arnold to the Republican Party. He should be drummed out of the RINO Republican party. We have enough traitors in our ranks. Not that I was a big Fan of Romney—he would have endded Obamacare with a stroke of the pen. Now we have more pain, more suffering and more entitlements—as well as three more years of mis-rule—Even Hillary would be an Improvement!
