The liberal mainstream media keeps telling us that Christie is the only republican that could win a national election. They did the same thing for us with John McLame.
Dewey was called “ the man on the wedding cake” because of his appearance. Christie could be called the man who ate the wedding cake.
Because a larger percentage of voters could not even name his opponent!
We suddenly find Time Magazine credible? What happened to “The MSM is pushing Christie on us!!!” Now they’re damning him and it’s believable?
What is interesting and what is never mentioned is for years the voting public has been voting (in their opinion) for the lesser of 2 evils. And what do we have today? Evil in control of our nation. There is no significant difference between Dem’s and Pub’s except the names. If this was not true we would not be in the current huge mess. And this situation has been in effect for 100 years or more. It is time to nominate a very conservative person as the Pub’s leader. Perhaps, if Goldwater had been elected in 1964 in lieu of Johnson we might have never reached today’s mess. But that huge defeat has had the Pub’s on the run ever since. Wake-up America and Americans’ before the sun sets on our Nation.
I tweeted this to Lara M. Brown, PhD. She was bragging on Christie after the election and when I disagreed she responded to me. Surprising. She said “He is a real contender. I am an analyst and it has nothing to do with party.” Or something like that. I told her Christie will turn out just like Dole, McCain, Romney (forgot about Ford).
It will be immediate for the media to attack him if he is nominated. So much fodder.
America ain’t Joizey.
Just about any Republican who can get the nomination is likely to be called a RINO (unless they've been given immunity, as Reagan was), because any governor or senator from a large state has probably had to make compromises to make it as far as he or she did.
Any Republican who loses a presidential election is likely to get called a RINO and (a loser) because they've had to make such compromises to get as far as they did, and because there's an interest in claiming that they were anything but a true conservative (unless this is absolutely deniable, as was the case with Goldwater).
Any Republican who wins the presidency is going to be called a RINO who doesn't do anything to decrease the size of government (unless, like Ronald Reagan, they've been given an immunity), even though there are real limits to what any president can do to reduce the size of government.
I'm not saying that Christie should get the nomination or that McCain and Romney weren't moderates. I'm just tired of this guy hitting people over the head with weak arguments and half-truths. There is no sure-fire way to elect a Republican president, especially nowadays, and no guarantee that Lord's favorite strategies will work.
Whatever Christie's faults, comparing any candidate to Reagan is going to make that candidate look bad. The implication that this is still Reagan's America is something else that can't be taken for granted either.
The press is hoping Christy gets nominated precisely so they use this stuff against him.
Romney was already the new Dewey.
