The base will NEVER support Chris Christie.

Lane-gate, Christie Helps Obama Again!

" ... Gov. Chris Christie has been one of the more vocal critics of conservatives and the Tea Party trying to limit the size and scope of the federal establishment. On the heels of his big win in the Garden State, Christie held up his bipartisan accommodation of liberals as an example for all the GOP to follow.

But then there’s the, “traffic scandal,” “lane-gate,” or whatever the mainstream press is calling it. The same press that fawned over Christie, as their preferred Republican, after his election victory, has turned on Christie.

Rush, from that article :

" ... Let Christie’s plight be a teachable moment for the wayward GOP establishment.
John McCain, the former reigning favorite of the mainstream press, can attest
that when it comes to a choice between the Republican and the Democrat, a vast majority of the press will favor the Democrat.

Christie is seen, by the press, not conservatives, as the only chance the GOP has to take the White House in 2016.
Thus, he must be destroyed, even if the press has to show rank hypocrisy to do it.
It’s no mystery to anyone but the GOP that they are practiced and skilled at doing that very thing.

So, now Chris Christie is an island unto himself.

If he had decided not to bash conservatives and the Tea Party, they would have been some of his staunchest supporters and advocates.
They would have insisted that
the press take his proclamation of ignorance of the scandal at least as seriously as
Obama’s copious declarations of cluelessness.
But now, the liberals in the press and the Democrats in office are declaring him unfit for the White House.
Conservatives couldn’t care less.

And the establishment GOP is demonstrating their typical M.O.
by running for the hills
so as not to be tarnished by the scandal.
They don’t want the press to start saying bad things about them.

But that’s the point.
The press, by and large, HATES the GOP and has kinship with the extremist liberals in government.
They will ALWAYS BASH the candidate or office holder with an (R) after their name.

The lesson for the GOP is clear:
You’ll never win over the press.
They hate you with every fiber of their being.


So why bother to try and convince them that you are not the caricature they invented for you?
Why not endear yourself to a majority of the nation?
Why not show you value principle over the Democrat’s perverted version of process?
Why not return to being the party that values the tenets that built the greatest nation in human history?
Why not be conservatives again? ... "
