WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITHOUT FREE REPUBLIC?

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) is headed for a monster re-election win, which will cement his place in the top tier of presidential contenders for 2016. Even better, the loony flank of the GOP has made him into the paragon of conservative sobriety.
First, Christie took on irresponsible attacks on anti-terror policies. That incited Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) to start popping off, inaccurately, about Christie’s money grab from D.C. (In true conservative style, Christie shot back that it is Beltway pols who take more from New Jersey residents than his taxpayers get back from the feds.)
Then the gift with a big red ribbon arrived in the form of Sarah Palin’s pronouncement that Christie has too much schtick – if winning a blue state overwhelmingly is schtick, perhaps the whole party needs more of it — and is a “big government” Republican. Where she gets the latter from I am not sure. Christie cut taxes, went after the teachers union, reduced debt and reformed public employee entitlements. But forget the facts for a moment (Palin sure does): Palin, even among conservatives, and even among hard-line conservatives, is a bit of a joke and not a serious person. She was entirely irrelevant to the 2008 race, and she serves as sort of a reverse compass for political judgment. Whichever way she points, it’s a good idea to go in the opposite direction. When she declares she will “Stand with Rand,” she is solidifying Paul as the not-serious candidate and casting Christie in the role of the grown up....

Christie is grossly overrated. Kissing Obama’s ass on the eve of the election was the kiss of death

The female Ann Coulter? (sorry, I couldn’t resist ;-)
Nonfactor in 2008??? Hahahaha. She wishes.
Sorry, but the title wasn't clear, which one's the Jew?
Medved, who despises Palin, really came out against her Monday.
While the left usually just rounds her 32 months in office down to 24 so that they can call it ‘2 years’, or ‘half way’, Medved on his show, reduced her time in office to “20 months”.
I'm on my phone right now and it's hard to ping
the stupidity of these articles are getting ridiculous they need notoriety so they attack Sarah.
Its sad really.
In true conservative style, Christie shot back... “
The words conservative and Christie should not be used in the same sentence.
After his first year of law school, he left to work as a head speech writer for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Joseph Duffey,[4][5] and then for four years as a speech writer and political consultant. After political campaign work, including a position as an aide to Congressman Ron Dellums, Medved worked in advertising, and coordinated a campaign to recruit more African Americans and Hispanics to the police departments of the California cities of San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley.
Win, he may.
Republican top contender...I think not.
Should the RINOs get him in that spot, guess I’ll sit out 2016.
I don’t use “Neo-con” and Jew interchangeably, as they’re not the same thing, at all. But yes, Jennifer happens to be a Hebrew. I’m German, but that doesn’t make me a major in the Wehrmacht or a beer tycoon.
George Pataki (R)(ino) beat Mario Cuomo (D) to become gov of New York. A Republican winning in a Blue state doesn't mean much other than the Republican is probably a big government Republican. Bill Weld did the same in MA. Winning in NJ doesn't mean much other than there was probably no competition. Booker would have crushed Christie if he ran for Gov and not senate. Christie is a big government Republican in a time the country needs a small government Republican.

This whole paragraph is utter shiite muslim. I pick Sarah over Crispy Creme any day. She would be my choice as if it mattered since my primary occurs almost last I get whatever hack the east coast chooses.
No, I think one is sufficient, don’t you?
Yeah, I know, ‘Vet.
That was for the benefit of those among us who still use the equation “NeoCon = JOOOOOOS!”
Re: “Right Turn - Jennifer Rubin’s take from a conservative perspective”
That’s actually the printed title and “identifier” that the Washington Post hangs on Rubin’s column.
When the Post has to TELL you that one of its writers is a Conservative, start laughing!
Based on that logic, we should clone John Lindsay.
