Poll: Polar Vortex Dwarfs Christie Controversy in Public Interest

The Chris Christie witch hunt is on in New Jersey, as national and New Jersey Democrats attempt to skewer the Republican governor over "Bridge-gate." Yet, no one really cares - at least not nearly as much as they care about the polar vortex that hit last week.

A whopping 18% of Americans are closely following this story - and 60% say they haven't changed their opinion about Governor Christie, according to a new Pew poll. Six percent even think more favorably of him these days.

It just shows you that people don't care much about a local "scandal" involving traffic jams in an area that happens to be dominated by Democrats, who already don't like Christie. The only ones who seem to care are in the liberal media.

translation: If Christie would be willing to do the sort of stuff he did to the Mayor of Fort Lee to the Iranians and the ChiComs, most people think he’d make a pretty good President.

IMHO the Liberal Vortex is more consequential to us than the Polar Vortex. The former will do far more long term damage to the country than the latter.

Christie will never make a good president. His ego is similar to Obama’s. They both talk about themselves constantly.

Yes, but that local traffic jam was responsible for the death of a 91 year old woman who couldn’t get an ambulance!!!! And what’s amazing to me about the dems and the press that screamed about this “poor woman” is, they would otherwise have no regard for her. 91 is “throw it away” time for dems.

Obama ordered the IRS to oppress and audit American citizen conservatives and Republicans: yet the media and government say that is not news.

this is just one out of thousands of abuses of Power this socialist tyrant Obama has committed. If Palin or a Republican were president the media would have drummed them out of office for a number of fake scandals by now

Obama ordered the IRS to oppress and audit American citizen conservatives and Republicans: yet the media and government say that is not news. This affected the election as the IRS didn’t allow 500 conservative groups to form in time for the election. so Obama rigged the last election. and still the IRS is oppressing conservatives. We don’t live in a free country anymore

(I know you are being sarcastic. I'm just filling in the gaps)

Bridge closures (or certain lanes of bridge closures) and traffic jams happen all the time, all over the U.S. I am certain they have caused deaths (especially traffic accidents that occur because of the sudden backups). No one ever mentions those. I wonder why ?

I also wasn't aware that 'aides' in the governor's office 'scheduled' highway construction and bridge repair.

The family said she was already dead. Other people probably died of the four day lane closings too. I bet somebody is dying right now.

I agree with you 100%. For most of the great unwashed out there though, the fact that he might be willing to give our adversaries the occasional knee in the groin is seen as a positive.

Oh that's so pre-global warming. They have to spice it up to make it sound like something new. Right now I have some pressure differential gas flow going on outside. I think we're all doomed.

Socialist Obama, Socialist Hillary, Socialist Christie.

ALL THE SAME.

Republican die-hards and operatives are out in full force to rally the troops.

Cuz if we have ANY Republican elected, America will be saved and rise again to glory !

Of course this is false. Socialist Christie will simply keep helping the financial elites of new world order accomplish their agendas.

He loves to help both muslims and homosexuals (???).

That = the UK-US mega-corp/CIA/MI6/foundations real goals: new world order, one world government, ram their products down the worlds' throat, keep governments spending and borrowing.

Christie is the Preferred Republican Candidate of the Carnegie Foundations, Rockefeller Foundations - and all the other foundations they support and manage. If George Soros had to chose a Republican for President it would be Chris Christie.

Christie is a liberal whore.

He fooled me into voting for him cuz he mouthed off to some union people. How foolish of me. Never again. I had no idea about new world order at that point.

Ahhh, I smell the coffee, it's time to go pour myself a cup.

The Obama Vortex is real, like a black hole.

Things get sucked in and never to be seen or heard of again.

MSM never reports on it for fear their relatives that are employed by the Administration might loose their jobs.
