Chris Christie Reconsidering 2012 Run, Will Decide in Days
Newsmax via Drudge ^

Posted on 09/23/2011 2:56:24 PM PDT by Retired Greyhound

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is reconsidering his decision not to enter the 2012 presidential race — and he says he will let top Republican donors know within days about his plans, Newsmax has learned. During the past few weeks, several leading Republican donors and fundraisers have been urging the popular Republican governor to reconsider his decision not to run and to enter the GOP primary. These Christie supporters note that significant GOP support has remained on the sidelines of the primary fight. Many leading fundraisers have yet to commit to any current primary contender, including frontrunners Rick Perry and Mitt Romney. Newsmax has learned that the effort to draft Christie culminated in a hush-hush powwow held in the past week with Christie and several notable Republican billionaires.

Retread? Noob? Troll? is this the way you argue when you lose an argument. One poster posted a vile post against another one and I call him on it. That is all. Now you can go ahead and make another childish name calling against me.

Exactly. And I like him. Certainly no picture of health myself. My “exercise” consists of walking to the fridge and standing in a classroom with high school kids checking on their work. I need to change before I hit 30. But, he is seriously morbidly obese and considering a run for the highest office in the land.

WRONG! You think it was vile and you think you called him on it! All you did was expose yourself. Vile is what Bristol experienced and what said poster clearly and perfectly pointed out! And it's above your pay grade to acknowledge that. Don't mess with conservatives, newbie troll.

You may as well write "WRONG!" in bold letters and this way I will be really scared because I know in this case that you are really angry and I get really terrified by internet commandos. Have mercy on me please. LOL....

What does the vile attack on Bristol Palin have to do with a poster posting vile sexual stuff about another poster? Did you also notice that the mods removed his vile post # 289?

It is likely this website will lead the charge to attack any and all candidates running who can actually win, while they tank slurp from the Palin cistern at clinical proportion. It has become a dangerous pathology of disruption to common discourse ammong conservatives batting for actual candidates, and the tank think for a non candidate only serves to advance the Obama strategy to balcanize Republicans, far more than it serves to keep alive the faux politician, Sarah Palin, who remains propped up solely by fanatics, who have destroyed her chances. Even she can not pass their purity test. Certainly her most obnoxious supporters fail that test.

WTH Did You Just Say?

What the heck did you just say?

“I remember the days when folks were outing the media for the Bush Vietnam memos. It was awesome, exposing liberals at every turn. Now if you dare to say you would vote for someone like Romney if it was him vs Obama, you’re threatened as a zot. Bizarre behavior”

Exactly!!! This used to be my primary place to get the latest and best information. I was VERY impressed with the adult sharing and cooperative effort to get to the TRUTH.....and really work TOGETHER!

;-(
In some ways, that has been replaced with little more than sophomoric name-calling.

building a stupid fence is the only qualifier obviously.

The fence is symbolic, it is the attitude that goes along with the resistance that matters.

The United States is a Great Country because of the culture, Mexico is a cr@p hole because of the culture.

I, like others, have some legitimate concern about her viability in a national election

I see this sentiment expressed by many freepers. The question we should be asking is; Would it really matter if Sarah couldn't beat Obama? If Obama could beat anyone other the the devil himself, would we not already be lost to the Socialist cesspool our RINO brothers have built?

The democrats can elect dead people and we can't elect an honest person of faith? Turn out the lights then, it is over.

I totally agree !! The focus should be on defeating Obama !!

I, too, use to enjoy FR and visted frequently. But, I found out a few months ago, if you were not a Palin worshiper, then you were not welcomed here anymore. It is very sad !!

I will support anyone that is able to defeat Obama. The attacks on Chris Christie, that I have read on here today, is very troubling to me. To win the WH back, we need a candidate that will attract independent voters...and that seems to escape the good old gang here.

Before I disapear again, I leave the following from Chris Christie which makes a lot of sense to me and why I support and hope he will enter the race ---

Christie suggested to an audience at New Jersey's Rider University that the current GOP candidates are not answering the public's appetite for real leadership.

"I think what the country is thirsting for, more than anything else right now, is someone of stature and credibility to tell them that and say, 'Here's where I want us to go to deal with this crisis,'" Christie said.

Christie continued: "The fact that nobody yet who's running for president, in my view, has done that effectively is why you continue to hear people ask Daniels if he'll reconsider and ask me if I'll reconsider."

Your post at 286 was disgusting..You, sir, need to live up to your “Christian and Conservative “ description on your home page...
No, it wasn’t as vile as the statements made against Palin in an interview with the rapist..but you were talking to a FReeper...not Tyson.
I pushed the abuse button.

How long ago was that, Meg? When I checked in this morning that post had already "disappeared."

Just a question for you.

Which candidate do you support in the race?

Cheers!
