The Media’s Chris Christie Hysteria: How to explain the national frenzy over a traffic jam

Anything (not a natural disaster, flooding etc.) that remains in the news 3 or more days consecutively is no longer news but an agenda.

Yah, well, conservative apologists for Christie need to understand that we really can’t raise too much of a stink about the IRS harassing our guys when one of our shining knights operates with all the ethics of a carrion eating hyena.

The word grock is defined as “To understand intuitively or by empathy; to establish rapport with.” A throw away line from a Robert Heinlein story.

I never was a supporter of Crissy. These big city eastern types are much too liberal and socialist for my western point of view. Give me Palin, Tancredo types.

Pro-Amnesty, Muslim judge appointing Chris Christie shouldn’t be defended just because an “R” is next to his name. I couldn’t care less if this hurts him. He’d just be yet another RINO to lose a Presidential election (you can’t out liberal liberals). I’m focused on defending actual conservatives.

[Political Junkie Too]

How many people died in this traffic jam compared to Fast and Furious or Benghazi?

The MSM is touting one 91-year-old woman who was caught in the traffic in an ambulance after a heart attack.

The MSM line is that she was unresponsive, and later died in the hospital. The MSM is playing up this woman as a traffic-related death who might otherwise have survived if she reached the hospital sooner. At 91, I think she was already dead and just needed an authority at the hospital to pronounce it.

I'm not fan of Christie or any of the other self-hating liberal Republicans, but the simple fact is that if Christie had been a Democrat this would not have mattered.

The libs hate all Republicans--even the disgraces who side with them.

I was once told that the John Birch society was too far left for me.
