Chris Christie: The Heartless, Smug, Bullying Embodiment of the Republican Party

This is a great article. One of these days people in NJ have to realize what a jerk he is. I eagerly await his 2016 hopes going down the drain. No person deserves it more. The article is below. It also says how his right wing extremist policies are costing jobs.

not that the people are his boss, which is the reality with all politicians.

Christie has been begging and bullying Bruce to play Atlantic City for the opening of another Casino. Christie claims he has seen over 100 Springsteen concerts and is one of Bruce's biggest fans but the way Christie acts you can guess that Christie has never actually listened to the words of a Bruce Springsteen song.

Which is why he might well be Romney's VP pick: The GOP has given up the pretence and now just looks for the nastiest person it can find. They'd vote for Jack The Ripper if he had an (R) after his name.

Same thing that has happened with Romney. Yes, I want President Obama to be principled, but I would never want him to be as arrogant and dismissive of people as Christie.

Although Rick Perry and Rick Scott are certainly way up there. Fuck the tea party.

In almost every public appearance I've seen him in, he comes off as an obnoxious, rude oaf. Yet some people apparently find that endearing.

After I saw him lose his temper on camera, I realized that he might have decided against running for president because he is self-aware enough to know his bad temper and rude behavior would not play well on the national scene.

He is a really nasty man.
