But the media wants to start its narrative now for 2016, so we're going to be assaulted with this shit until our ears bleed.

Perhaps Saturday Night Live should do a skit on that.

How Giuliani and Christie are in a room, each are talking but neither are listening to the other.

All you hear is:

"9/11" "Sandy" "9/11" "Sandy" "9/11" "Sandy", etc.

9. Christie is a jerk.

Nov 2013

He told the folks in New Jersey that he wanted to cut taxes, yet he actually raised them on the middle class as one of his first tasks in office. He selfishly wasted millions on a special election because he didn't want a high Democratic voter turn out for Cory Booker at the same time he was running for governor.

I was appalled when he screamed at the teacher to do her job. So disrespectful. He WORKS for HER, he should show her respect.

The man is a CONSERVATIVE, nothing middle of the road or progressive about him. He's a typical politician.

I'm waiting for the "Christie smoking crack" video--you know there's something hiding in this jerk's closet.

Yeah, definitely sick of The Chris Christie Show on the media 24/7.

RATINGS!

Added plus (in the case of Christie) for MSM: it's in their best interests because he promotes and protects the corporate agenda.

That Rush, Hannity and other rightwing radio host are a little disturbed that the media is trying to pick their Presidential candidate for 2016.And they are starting to focus on Christie's record and saying he's a RINO rethug

We can watch and enjoy as they all show their asses. The losers of the elections threw little tizzy fits all over the place. We don't even have to do anything except get out of the way while they destroy their party.

Maybe Christy will take on Rush. Imagine that screamathon!

wasn't vetted by Their Media...and in the Republican world, they are the cats pajamas, or perhaps that's past tense now.

Seems they may have already found his "47%er" audio speech, however. And no matter how he tried, Mitt couldn't shake that. These guys are going to have to start meeting in caves or secret underground tunnels or something. LOL

Thanks to another DU poster...

With a modicum of Democratic support. The media would have us believe that Democratic support for Christie is some really unusual thing. Big deal.

Just like Arnold, Christie will flame out.

Even posing naked...go figure.

Same as I see Christie...Joisey boy right out of Casting Central for Jersey Shore TV show...less some weight.

Both very macho which doesn't impress the national donors or the Independents that have to be convinced they can lead.

He provides the Teabags with enough lip to keep them excited, but he wears thin real quick like for everyone else. By 2013, he'll start putting his foot in his mouth and won't make it to the final lap.

His ego will trip him up.
