I’ve spent zero time in NJ, know nothing about it. I have no opinion on Christie at this point. Will see how it plays out. I see both sides of this.

[xsmommy]

I foresee your banning from FR in the future, that is just not gonna fly here.

The dems have brought out their chivvies
Like sissies with knots in their skivvies
He shut down the G-W
If you cross him he'll club ya
But to his positive side I'm not privy.

Carr: Deval Patrick should do Chris Christie dance

The clintons had Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop Thinking about Tomorrow"'
Sarah had Heart's "Barricuda"

Here is Christie's campaign song:

James Taylor's "Traffic Jam"

Is this the new Friday feature - xsgypsy fortunes? Read my tea leaves!!!

[hobbes1]

No. Cooler heads will prevail.

But how effing stoopid do we need to be when we have Dems, trying to decide our primaries, and we help them.

They only care, if they are afraid.

[hobbes1]

First rule of politics.

A Month, is a long time.

By my estimation 2016 has many of them between now and then.

Simple question, do you think Hillary! Is going to crow Ft.Lee! When the response is Benghazi! ?

[xsmommy]

Just packed xsboy off to chivy his way back to SU. Praying he has smooth sailing. We will be journeying to the frozen tundra on valentines day weekend bc it will be senior night for the hockey team.

Who’s this “we” kemosabe?

Pennsylvania has closed primaries. The only sensible way to hold an election.

[hobbes1]

We, is all of us that oppose Democrat rule, Redskin. ;-)

It’s not about voting, it’s about them trying to shape the esrly perceptions.

Sparrow and Nightingale! One of my fave episodes!

[secret garden]

Closed primaries make sense.

[hobbes1]

Should be the rule. Maybe, between 14-16 people should make that known.

It is actually 58 here, and supposed to get up to 60 or so-it is drizzly, but that is okay-at least it is not frigid for awhile...

How many can Bill Clinton chivy?
Enough to make the great case
For Hillary being the best one
In the upcoming ratty race?

After all, he promised to her
If she would stand by her man
He’d make up for all the scandal-
Or at least that was the plan

But it seems Hillary also has
A touch of the scandal brush-
Benghazi only serves to show
She’s as pure as the driven slush...

I drove a Chivy SUV for years, but now I drive a Toyota one-actually, many of my ethnic group pronounce that “Cheavy”- even if English is their 1st language-why I’ve no idea...

[hobbes1]

So, I’m on twitter...conversing with several peopke...i say....

I can answer that Question Val Kilmer got asked in Real Genius in the affirmative,

Now it wont let me respond to DMs. Lmao.

I guess hammering a six inch spike thru a board with my penis...is wrong?

[SoothingDave]

You’ve started drinking early.

Thanks for the pragmatic reference, tiger-but while I won’t hold my breath and throw a tantrum for a candidate who will do ALL the things I want, which pretty much means goring everyone’s ox but mine-I’m not sure people will stay quiet for a third time while the Karl Rovers and other GOP-E pick a candidate for us-again-especially one who just wants to be a more benevolent scolder than the Rat running- Christie is a perfect example, with some mafia panache thrown in.

I’m one of those who wants to see a candidate who understands that a free society is one where freedom means not making more laws and regulations just because you disagree with the opinions of others-period-I’ll settle for close, but not for dictator-lite-at the very least, all these silly regs and laws are costing a fortune we don’t have, and turning our social services and LEOs back into the jackbooted thugs they were in the 60’s...

[hobbes1]

Not a Real Genius fan?

[secret garden]

He’s doing a Mark Twain show now and he looks horrible.
