Politico:Christies biggest asset is his weight

[bigdarryl]

TOTAL B/S Being overweight is not an asset regardless of who you are.Only a right wing website like Politico would make up this kind of shit.http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2013/12/republican-governor-chris-christie-new-jersey-biggest-asset-his-weight-100607.html?ml=m_pm

1. Christie's weight is not an issue,

it's his Republiklan philosophy.

[enough]

2. I can see that he might appeal to the same people who hate Michelle Obama for

encouraging kids to exercise and eat well.

3. That man is a heart attack waiting to happen

11. IDK what he does in his free-time,

but for the sake of his health, he really should start hitting the gym or at least go on walks daily, in addition to cutting back on fatty food. I can understand a person being slightly chubby and maybe inheriting that in his or her family, but CC is obese, and people such as those at Politico are acting like that is fine. Whenever he talks, it sounds as though he has breathing problems.

12. Post lap band photos

He says he's halfway to his weight loss goal, but IDK. He must not have a very ambitious goal. He's still morbidly obese.

4. Politico (R) wants Christie to be their nominee.

5. the fact that he's the biggest ass will be his biggest asset in the primary nt

[Mike Daniels]

6. Two visuals are going to sink Christie if he gets the nomination

1) His rabid dog approach to handling dissent or questions from voters who disagree with his policies.

2) Sweating like a stuck pig during the summer months when the campaign hits the outdoor festival circuits.

Anyone who thinks Christie's health endangering weight problems is going to be a selling point for the voters needs to quit huffing glue.

9. I'm not sure he could survive a presidential campaign

And by survive I don't mean figuratively. I mean literally.

7. Wishful thinking

Overweight people are treated differently than people of average proportions. Whether its in the workplace, the entertainment industry, social settings or public venues, our society tends to reject and dismiss fat people out of hand.

Is it unfair? Yes, its a prejudicial stereotype, but unfortunately this type of discrimination is widespread and pervasive, and has very real consequences for obese people. Christie, like other 'successful' heavy people, will have to show himself as being far superior -- in everything! -- to all other candidates to compensate for his ungainly appearance and overcome the burdensome stigma of his weight.

8. I know how he could take off 20 pounds of ugly fat....

Cut off his head.

10. You could get that from the neck rolls alone
