I know I know .here we go again right? All the talk is about how Chris Christie will be the best GOP nominee because hes the most electable.
Weve heard this before. We heard it with John McCain in 2008. We heard it with Mitt Romney in 2012 and now we are hearing it with Governor Christie.
But theres a crucial difference. No disrespect to McCain or Romney but Christie has pizazz. He has more chutzpah in one finger than McCain and Romney do combined. Thats important.
A lot of Tea Party conservatives are going to focus in on the purity of Gov. Christies record. And for sure, that record should be explored. But just remember this: You can make the conservative case for Christie, too. Its not like hes Jon Huntsman folks.
Plus, Christie may just be the perfect political figure to run at a time like this because Washington is dysfunctional and Christie doesnt do dysfunctional. Hes got no patience for it just like the American people.
That match of the hearts could very well be Christies biggest asset. Put another way (or as Chris Christie might put it), he doesnt take any crap. And Americans seem ready for someone with real bravado thats serious about breaking through the political clutter to come up with real solutions.
He’s a liberal socialist that can win the Presidency with only democrat votes!
George Soros will be secretly funneling money to a Christie Republican primary campaign for the nomination, just like Soros did for McCain and Romney.
Yes, the Rats try to select the Republican nominee that they want to run against.
Palin/Cruz: 2016
That is the first time that I have heard Betsy McCaughey’s name mentioned as a political candidate, but it sounds like a good idea to me.
The 2014 election is going to be all about Obamacare, as long as Republicans can hold off all the distractions of immigration and social issues.
Then 2016 will be all about Obamacare, as well. Obamacare is Hillarycare redux and Democrats are already talking about Elizabeth Warren instead of Hillary.
He’s certainly more consistently liberal than either of them. If fact, I’d say he’d be the best DemocRat in the Presidential race, if the Red Team nominates him.
I thought that if Romney won, he might bring on dictatorship a little slower than Obama. Christie could easily bring it on even faster than Obama.
If the Red Team nominates him, I’m voting for Hillary. She might be more conservative on some issue some time than Big Chris. Plus, she doesn’t claim to be on my side.
Here’s the best I can say about Christie. He has a few conservative inclinations, and I wish he’d cut his teeth in a conservative climate instead of that liberal northeast cesspool. It has infected him, and I know of very few who’ve ever recovered unless I’m allowed to count Ronald Reagan twice.
Because he doesn’t speak Spanish?
Wasn’t that pic a week before Romney’s defeat? Some team player even for a Rino.

Screw the open primaries. If Dunce Priebus won’t ask state GOP committees to get rid of them, they’re no better than the traditional smoke-filled rooms.
corruption (kəˈrʌp ʃən)
n.
1. the act of corrupting or the state of being corrupt.
2. moral perversion; depravity.
3. perversion of integrity.
4. corrupt or dishonest proceedings.
The fat guy has no respect for the second amendment. NO ONE gets my vote if he doesn’t respect the second amendment.
As someone who voted for Mr. Christie the first time, I take exception that this guy is any different from the other two previous candidates. Unknown to me, Christie is up to his ears - according to recent reports - in the Madoff disaster and has been the subject of a defamation suit (probably from his days as AG). Please, people, read the New Jersey papers to keep up on this guy. That’s the only way to know what the elites are up to.
Chicken feathers are more nourishing than pine bark or beach sand.
Mr. Brody, eat chicken feathers.
Get rid of primaries altogether and go strictly with caucuses.
That pair looks like Laurel and Hardy
Right on. Will NOT get sucked into a RINO candidate ever again!
He is out-—no matter what!!!

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.
Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.
Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.
Lets start that conversation by acknowledging we arent going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.
If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...
This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.
Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.
...by softening its edge on some volatile social issues and altering its image as the party always seemingly "eager to go to war... We do need to expand the party and grow the party and that does mean that we don't always all agree on every issue" ... the party needs to become more welcoming to individuals who disagree with basic Republican doctrine on emotional social issues such as gay marriage... "We're going to have to be a little hands off on some of these issues ... and get people into the party," Paul said.
