So "Bridgegate" Will Destroy Christie's White House Aspirations...

General General Discussion

Just for the record I’m no fan of the guy. He another big government RINO who panders to the left and is definitely “anti gun.” He’s a governor of NJ who is popular with some as a Tony Soprano kinda guy. And he seems to be vindictive and spiteful on occasion.

What is going to kill his Presidential aspirations and has the media treating him like he drowned the secretary he was banging on the side in a Chappaquiddick channel and then didn’t report it until the next day?

Allegedly the NJ Governor ordered or knew about the closing of two of three lanes on the George Washington Bridge in order to inconvenience one man, Mark Sokolich the Mayor of Fort Lee, NJ because he failed to endorse Christie during his re election.

Traffic on the GWB was as a result extremely congested for a four day period. People were incredibly inconvenienced, emergency vehicles were caught up in the shut down putting lives and property at risk and of course any business depending upon a reasonable flow of traffic suffered financially.

People have the right to be upset, outraged and angry. Especially if this was done deliberately as political payback by somebody who presumes to be a public servant.

Meanwhile Hillary Clinton, and others ignored several warnings of terrorist threats on the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks in places like Benghazi. Even most astonishing dozens of U.S. security personnel were removed from Libya in the six months leading up to the attack, in spite of alleged requests to increase personnel levels from American officials on the ground.

According to one of the key witnesses even Ambassador Stevens himself had repeatedly requested more security personnel, but was turned down.

On the night of September 11, 2012, a heavily armed group of between 125 and 150 gunmen attacked the American diplomatic mission at Benghazi, in Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and another diplomat. Several hours later in the early morning of the next day, a second assault targeted a nearby CIA annex in a different compound about one mile away, killing two embassy security personnel. Ten others were injured in the attacks.

Initially the Obama Administration, specifically the State Department and the UN reported that the incident was “not terrorism” and that the Benghazi attack emerged from a spontaneous protest against the video.

Hillary Clinton is virtually the defacto Democratic candidate for 2016.

He still appears to be the medias republican false choice the sheeple will and republicans will tell us we have to hold our nose and vote for. Like Romney and Mcain.

George Will has declared Kristie Kreme is done and Jeb Bush is the new front runner…

No one gives a rat’s ass about that bridge thing. The media, however, drives the debate and will create and fuel the fire to keep it at America’s forefront. THIS is why he will be a non-factor. There’s a reason the media is fervently under-reporting Benghazi and the IRS issues, and overplaying this bridge thing. I don’t give two hoots about Christie, I would not vote for him, but this is how the media destroys a candidate.

This may seem shallow to some, but I don’t care how smart the guy might be as I would never vote for somebody that fat. Being that fat says to me that there is something seriously wrong whith somebody that would let themselves get that fat.

And I am hearing the Jeb Bush name also, as well as John Kasich; although, I am not sure it is possible for a 3rd Bush to get elected. But in these 2 guys you have both Florida and Ohio. Maybe if they were both on the ticket - pres and vp - the repubs might stand a chance.

The next presidential election is more than two and a half years away. In the run-up to the 2012 election, a new GOP “frontrunner” was anointed on a weekly basis during the Republican primary process.

Turn the channel. All this shit will be ancient history by 2016.

Don’t worry, the Republican Party and the media will soon trot out another RINO for us to vote for…or NOT!

A lot of people feel the same way, it’s the big, I mean first thing you see.

My points exactly. The blatant media political slant is stunning.

Electing a candidate based upon what they “look like” is pretty much about the same as “voting for the black guy.” I understand your point, but if Paul Rand was actually the candidate and he was tipping the scales at 100 lbs. past his ideal weight it would be a non issue.

There are hundreds and hundreds of reasons to not vote for Christie, that he is pretty big doesn’t even make the list.

And it’s too bad we didn’t get Jeb instead of George. I’m certain he would have made a much better President. Sadly because we did have George, I don’t think Jeb will stand a chance.

11

If the last elections have shown anything, it depends on the giveaway. If Jeb Bush can out progressive democrat the progressive democrats and promise amnesty, stimulus, increase in welfare benefits, expansion of food stamps, “fairness” for the middle class, etc. and manage to lie about decreasing spending, the deficit, and the size of government, etc. he has a chance. He also speaks fluent Spanish, which means he can be on Spanish language media.

The current crop of voters have proven themselves to be irresponsible and the worst in several generations as they have the capacity to elect Obama twice; even though the policies had completely failed by the time the 2012 elections came around. Now there’s also the institutions to suppress dissent, like the IRS, DOJ, mainstream media, etc. that you have to overcome. You can’t compete with a Santa Claus politician that has the machinery of Stalin to insure victory. Today it is all about the promise of free shit.

Someone sooner or later has to introduce “race” into the equation and it was not a man of color who did, playing the “race card”.

Groan.

First, the Republicans put forth weak candiates…RINOs, unpopular candidates, whatever.

Then, the Republican Party lets the Democrats pick the Republican candidate, thereby ensuring the Dems pick the weakest candidate possible. Instead of defending the candidates and picking the candidate themselves, the Republicans let the Democrat party slander and choose.

Finally, the Republicans let the media beat the candidate up without fighting back.

And the Stupid Party wonders why it loses elections.

Contrast this to how the Dems run a campaign.

The Dems pick a candidate they feel is strongest…not necessarily the candidate is a strong/good politician as a person, but one they can push and use to maximum advantage. Obama is a great example. He’s a worthless politician but he’s got the qualities (young, hip, black, and can read a speech off a teleprompter like nobody’s business) that make it easy to use him as a figurehead to get him elected. They don’t give one rat’s ass about Obama, but he is a tool for them. They purposefully chose him over Hillary in 08 because while she was the better politician, she was the weaker person (second Clinton, white, old) so they discarded her in favor of Obama.

Then once the candidate is chosen, the Democrats unite behind that candidate and march in lockstep to push them into office.

Finally, the Dems get their allies in the MSM to quash negative things about their candidate and highlight positive, popular things.

Hence, you get a well oiled political machine that pushes a chosen person into office with ease.

Superb explanation and analysis.

Hardly! Being a black man or woman does not make you stupid. Getting that fat and staying that fat is just stupid no matter what race you are. And if Rand Paul was that fat I would not vote for him either. Not sure what Christe weighs now but at one point it was reported at 350+ on a man reported to be 5’11". That is just flat stupid and irresposible and I don’t want that person in the WH no matter what his name is.

THE LIST - I didn’t know there was an official list. I think what you probably meant to say was it didn’t make YOUR list. Sorry to disappoint you, but it did make mine.

16

I could not care less how a candidate looks or how much they weigh. This is not Dancing With The Stars, American Idol, etc. A candidate’s political and social views are all that matter to me. Christie sucks because he is a big government RINO who seemingly cares little about the Constitution.

17

Nobody played the “race card.” I only pointed out that electing people based upon what the “look like” rather than their positions on the issues is stupid.

18

It is not about “looking” fat, it is about being morbidly obese and the health issues that go with it. Obese starts with a BMI of 30. MO starts at a BMI of 40. The guy was off the chart with a BMI of 49!

You missed my point entirely.

He’s a fat pos.

Screw these rhinos.
