Christie’s Waterloo
NY Daily News ^ | 1/8/13 | NY Daily News Editorial Board

Posted on 01/08/2014 5:54:15 PM PST by jimbo123

In the best possible light, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie built a top staff of lying thugs who threatened lives and safety to serve his political ends. If not, Christie is a lying thug himself.

Emails and text messages among his close aides made public Wednesday documented that in September they gleefully engineered George Washington Bridge lane closures to punish the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee for failing to endorse their boss’ reelection.

Local officials say the gridlock they caused delayed ambulances in responding to four calls, including one involving an unconscious 91-year-old woman who later died.

I don’t think I could vote for a continued Linda Senate Seat.

Isn’t he a red state Republican? They can be bad too, but I think it’s more predictable in the blue states. Republicans there, in the minority, can’t help but bed down with the dogs if they want get anything done.

If you were a business, and lost money due to late deliveries because of the lanes shut down....I believe you could establish a case in court, and sue. Winning? Maybe fifty-fifty. But once a single guy wins...the floodgate gets open. I could see fifty million paid out over this stupid act of immaturity. To think this was a tactic for political use? You’d think you were in Bolivia or Peru.

MSNBC is covering this 10 times more than they followed ALL of Obama’s scandals.

Go ahead and keep those blinders on. Keep blaming the GOPe losses on people who can’t support a Party that continues to shove Democrats down our throats, Democrats in disguise who will destroy this country just as much, just more slowly - then wonders why they keep losing elections. Enjoy your vote for Jeb.

Man, Christie sure could use a little help from Obama right now.

I have to admit, that made me laugh pretty hard.

Since we detest Chicago Thug Politics now, why would we ever accept a GOP-branded version of the same. Good riddance.

Enjoy your increased insignificance as you find that losing is just that, losing. Making you a loser all together. I chose to take at least some joy in mild victories. At least we can try to stop the bleeding. Don't be an ignorant twit. No way Romney would be anywhere near as bad as Obama. So thank you for sitting out the 2012 election so Obama could win reelection. You really showed those RINOs. Like I said I wouldn't vote for Christie in a primary, but would certainly vote for him in a general if for no other reason than to deny Hillary her chance to further destroy the country. Feel free to lead a pure political existence while giving further aid and comfort to those you purport to fight against. You are amongst their greatest allies. p>

So thank you for sitting out the 2012 election...

I must conclude that you are not too bright, and apparently the only exercise you get is jumping to conclusions. Either that, or I didn't realize you knew what I look like and were standing at my polling place in 2012.

Ditto.

Decent people should distance themselves from Governor Soprano.

Hillary does not have the chops to pull off something like this.

I suspect Cuomo.

A little internecine warfare among Mafia brothers.

Michael versus Fredo.

You would be incorrect about my intelligence. As far as Did you vote in 2012? If you voted did you vote for the only opponent of Obama that had a chance to win, Romney, or did you vote for a third party nobody?

If you voted for Romney, thank you for the attempt at turning Obama out. If you voted third party or not at all, Thanks for nothing. My children and yours appreciate the tyranny by default. . . As for intelligence. I find that as I get older I find less and less that I understand and more things cause me to feel stupid. If that is lack of wisdom or lack of intelligence, I am guilty.

As far as who I voted for, that’s none of your damn business. If you wish to jump to conclusions again and assume I voted third party, I can’t help you.

But if the GOPe shoves another Democrat down our throat in 2016, go ahead and blame the purists again for “sitting out”. Apparently that’s easier for some people to swallow than blaming the GOPe.

All I can say is, get off your but and get a Conservative elected in the primaries.

Who did you wish to win the GOP primary in 2012? Did you volunteer for that persons campaign? How many doors did you knock? How many phone calls did you make? How much money did you give?

Someone actually voted for Romney. They where Republican primary voters. They decided who would be the candidate. I did my best by making calls for Gingrich. I also gave money. I thought he would be a good POTUS because he always had all the right enemies.

Unfortunately, Romney won the primary. Once he won, fair and square, he was the only person that we had to stop Obama. He wouldn’t have been perfect by a long shot. However, to say he would be as bad or worse than Obama is outright stupid.

Nobody shoved anybody down any ones throat. He was voted in by the majority of the primary voters. To throw your vote away on a third party or to not vote at all because you are too upset that the bad old GOPe didn’t do everything you wanted them to do makes you a foolish child.

Way too many people stayed at home. If as many Republicans voted for Romney as voted for McCain, we would be in a much better position.

Better position to do what?

More Bush bank bailouts? Increase the size of gov? Increase government spending? Secure our borders and start deporting millions of Mexico's criminals? A better position to create multi-hundred billion dollar new government programs like the dog and pony shows at all our airports?

A tiny example? After 8 years of Bush, we find the illegal alien population in the U.S. skyrocketed by "millions" during war time yet. Patriot Act? Bank bailouts? I could go on.

It was the Republican party who gave us what we now have..

Not everyone out here is suffering from battered tax payer syndrome, where they get repeatedly kicked in the teeth, lied to and gang banged, and come back for more.

Lardass Christie has the full and slavish support of none other than House Weeper, John Boner. That has to tell us everything that we need to know.

Frankly, I wouldn’t vote for that Rotund RAT to be dog-catcher even if the country were overrun with Chihuahuas.
