(785 posts)Look at that mouth. Does that look like he is speaking or does it remind you of some other process? Constipating anal retentive rage is pushing his words out like a sharp stool. Republicans are literally and figuratively full of old dried up shit. What can't come out their ass comes out their mouth. Christie is the perfect Freudian metaphor for the Republican Party; a morbidly obese angry white man, devouring everything in sight, afraid he might have to share and that there won't be enough for his ravenous need. He thinks even his shit has value and will try to hold on to it as long as he can... even if it kills him.

(20,776 posts)inferred that Chris Christie came across as an Angry person, not a positive, inspirational speaker to the people at the convention. His photos show that... The Republicans have many "haters" in their party. They won't compromise with Democrats in the House and Senate. They want to make it look like Obama failed his role as President, when in fact, they refused to compromise or even act, and wanted things to go their way. They are still the party of "NO!". Their only mission is to remove Barrack Obama. Tonight Christie barely mentioned Romney. Perhaps its true, that He was setting himself up for a go at the Presidency, next time around.
Smash mouth politics is in our future.
Volaris
(10,274 posts)Christie is now the GOP front-runner for 2016. And he knew going into this speech that it's a pretty solid bet that Mittens won't win this thing, and so speech-if-id(sp) accordingly. If nothing changes between now and then, I want Warren or Dean up against this SOB in four years.

NJCher
(35,761 posts)The Democratic contender was an incumbent named Jon Corzine who was the former head of Goldman Sachs. He failed to halt property taxes which are very bad in this state, which IMO was why he was not reelected.
Furthermore, he has a severe lack of charisma.
Corzine, as you may know, went back to the world of finance and headed up a a company called MF Global. This organization blew up in Feb of this year, I think it was.
Lots of missing money.

(113 posts)I agree with the Rev. Al.
Christie reads the teleprompter like he's summarizing a prosecution to a jury.
And watching his lumbering wide track frame against that moving blue background made me very queasy.

He seems to be well on his way to looking like someone we used to call "Cherry Hill Fats" (Sylvan Scolnick), a criminal from NJ, who was taken to his trial on a mail cart because he was so heavy he couldn't walk - from living the good life on other peoples' money.

Where was George
(23 posts)However had I never seen Christie before in my life I'd immediately determine him to be a butt ugly Republican. Democrats and Liberals simply do not have that bullying, mean look on their faces. And I see this same mean, nasty look on so many faces of the GOP. Like Boehner, Akin Jindal etc. Just that these others aren't quite so awful looking.
How this parasite could appeal to anyone except the certifiably criminally insane Republican is beyond me.
Beauty is only skin deep. But an ugly spirit (like the NJ Guv) goes straight to the bone. I suppose that's a good thing: When an adversary is this homely and mean looking?
Means he's absolutely un-electable. Many American people unfortunately are prejudiced against people who look so terrible. But in this case its helpful to Democrats. So
"Chris Christie for the GOP Presidential nomination in 2016"
PLEASE!

You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
