Here’s what we’re up against! Losing our freedom:

I really don’t care much for NJFatboy.
But the MSM was warming up for 2016.
They don’t want to lose that cutting edge during the interim.

“McCain was loved and adored until he becomes a candidate, then he becomes a dirty old man kicking kids off his front yard. “

McCain lost it when he called Obama a decent person and tried to play up to the liberal media.

[detective]

Rush nails it. The MSM is destroying Chris Christie. He betrayed the conservatives that got him elected and he tried to be friends with Obama and the MSM. Now the Obama Administration and the MSM are trying to destroy him.

How do you like your new friends Chris?

[Still Thinking]

The Feds are looking into the money that Christie got in New Jersey for Hurricane Sandy relief to find out if there is a connection between any of that money and Bridgegate or anything else.

Cry me an effing river, Fat Boy. Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas. Bet you don't feel like hugging TOTUS or handing him another Senator for free today, do ya? Asshat.

But the MSM was warming up for 2016.

Oh, yeah. That why the Slimes published that story trying to re-write the history of Benghazi. They know Benghazi blows away her 3:00 am phone call crap. She got the 3:00 am call and blew it.

[kosciusko51]

Christie could make this all go away by declaring himself a Dem. It wouldn’t require any change in his politics...

[henkster]

A thought even more scary; the communist news/entertainment propaganda complex likes to pick our presidential candidates for us. If they are already destroying Christie, whom I didn’t want anyway, who have they picked to play the role of Washington Generals against Hilary? Someone even worse, no doubt.

[Alex Murphy]

RUSH: We announced on Friday pretty close to the end of the program that there was going to be a release of documents surrounding Bridgegate. It's 907 pages. 907 pages of documents on Bridgegate? What in the name...? I mean, how is that even possible, when nobody knew anything?

He really disgusts me. I cannot forgive him for the Obama photo op right before the 2012 election

[Sooth2222]

The 'rats are playing Whack-A-Mole.

Their problem for 2016 is that their talent gets weaker the deeper you go.

Next after Hillary -- Joe Biden???? But the Republican back bench is stronger than the front runners. (Certainly stronger than Christie now.) Expect much more of this.

[bigbob]

It doesn’t matter what “We” think of Christie or how poorly he’s handled this crisis, the fact is that the MSM will go after every Republican (or conservative, if one should emerge) candidate, and flay them skin from bone.

Bridge-gate just gave them an opportunity. If not this, it would have been something else, but this is perfect for them because it reinforces the “bully” image they’d already started to develop.

[GeronL]

Now, the fact that they are all liberals and Christie's not is also a factor, and I think it's more of a factor than Podhoretz does, but Podhoretz still has a point.

Come on Rush, do not pretend Christie is not a leftist

[Defiant]

I don't understand the notion that they are doing this because he outpolls Hillary, because in my mind, he is the 2016 Romney. Since he's from New Jersey, he's the Ramoney. Anyway, he's the designated centrist loser, who ticks off the GOP base while not picking up any democrats. And I thoroughly believe that is how it would go down if he got the nomination, it might be the end of the GOP but if not, he would never get more than 46 percent no matter how bad the commie party nominee was. If the GOP is stupid enough to pass amnesty it would be even worse.

So, the thing that doesn't make sense to me is why they are going after him now. With McCain and Romney, they were all lovey dovey at this stage. They didn't turn on them until after they had locked up the nomination. Why? Is it just a crime of opportunity? Or does someone really fear Christie? If so, I don't know why.

“The MSM is destroying Chris Christie.”

I hope they are 100% successful!!!

[Still Thinking]

Yup. That’s usually the first image that comes to mind when I think of that fat turncoat.

[bigbob]

Doesn’t matter what Rush thinks. Or you or I. Christie was emerging as the one to oppose Hillary and thus had to be destroyed.

Consider what would happen if the roles were reversed. Suppose WE (conservatives) controlled the media and had them in our pocket. Would we fail to use them to attack liberals?

[GeronL]

He was not emerging as the one to oppose Hillary except in the sweaty dreams of RINO’s

[SamAdams76]

Chris Christie is dead to me. The last straw was when he gave Obama that "arm-in-arm-aren't-we-best-of-friends" photo-op during Hurricane Sandy just days before the election. Knowing full well that he was shoving a knife into the back of Mitt Romney. Knowing full well that if there was a Republican in the White House, the Democrats would have hung Hurricane Sandy around his neck just like they did with Hurricane Katrina.
