Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco[W:54]

Re: Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco

I never liked his attitude. But I have read that women voters are usually turned off by aggressive men in politics. I hated the debates between Obama and Romney. I thought neither looked like they had honest respect for the other, and I disliked them both. I just saw two assholes going for each others throats and staring each other down.


Okay. I was wrong about Chris Christie. All apologies.

Since his can of worms has been opened and we have discovered a definite pattern regarding him repetitively abusing of power, I formally withdraw my support for him.

I hereby remove my "Chris Christie for President 2016," from my signature line.

But I'm STILL not voting for Hilda. I will go fishing on election day, if it comes down to that.
 
Re: Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco

Yeah! God forbid we have a prez who takes responsibility for what happens on his watch. We sure as hell don't have that now!

Obama said the buck stops with him. Christie has said similar stuff. Obviously you hear something completely different coming out of their mouths because your a hack. That doesn't change reality though.
 
Re: Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco

C'mon, admit it; you liked Christie because he kissed Obama's ass.
No. At the time, at least, I was thinking that Christie was a new kind of Republican ready to work in a bipartisan way. Don't get me wrong; I didn't believe that Christie would give in completely to the left's way of doing things but was willing to work halfway and maintain an open mind.

Apparently he is just another politician that has messed his career up. Too bad. :shrug:

Looks to me like he became aware of a problem and took care of it by chopping some heads.

As far as his career being over, the Libbos ditched his ass the day Hillary threw her hat in the ring for prez. But for that, the Libbos would be asking why all Conservatives can't be a great leader like Christie.

Yes, the lane closures were despicable. They did not cause this woman to die.

She died, officials and emergency workers said, because of the ambulance that was headed for her home got stuck in traffic.

Thanks for finding the link that proves my point. As stated by professional EMS workers with medical training, the traffic jam caused the death.

I've already responded to that. You seem like a last word kind of guy, so if that's it, I'll take it as the end. She died because her heart stopped - not because an EMS crew got there in 7 minutes.

Thanks and I accept your surrender.
 
So when the two men were together, do you think that's when Christie told him to close the lanes off?

Hillary hasn't thrown her hat in the ring for prez. She has not said whether she's running or not. Stop lying.
 
Re: Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco

My how Christie has fallen. A month ago Christie was up 45-42 over Clinton and in the latest NBC poll Clinton has taken a 50-37 advantage. Poll below:

Just remember, though. When a Democrat doesn't poll well after some bad press, it's because leftist libbo socialism incompetent corruption. When a Republican doesn't poll well after some bad press, it's because the liberal media and the left are a bunch of scared meanies.
 
Re: Christie, Official Who Arranged Bridge Closures Were Together During Fiasco

mabye this was a bridge too far for christie

LOL, perhaps. But if the investigations prove he was unaware of it and this was done by underlings which he fired, it just might make him stronger as a candidate. 2 years to go before the first Republican Primary which is more than enough time to recoup if it is like he says or as Sergeant Shultz says, "I know nothing."

I take most polls at face value, that as being a snap shot of the day. It does not surprise me that Christie has lost 8 points from last month, Its been a pretty rough week or two. I am more surprised at Clinton gaining those 8 points. I would have suspected maybe 4 into the undecided and 4 to her or there abouts. But if Christie knew nothing about it, there is plenty of time to rebound.
 
He'll be fine. And after it becomes clear that he wasn't involved and he's been treated unfairly, the rebound will be significant.:peace

If you insist. :roll:
 
Do any of you leftist ideologues have any evidence that Christie was involved... AT ALL????

Do you have any evidence that he wasn't?

Do I personally think he was involved? I dunno. But while it's far too early in the process to convict him, it's also far too early to exonerate him. At best (for him), he's guilty of not knowing what his immediate subordinates were up to, which calls his management skills into question. It's not like this was some low-level bureaucrat who caused the lane closures; it was a pretty high-ranking aide.

It is impossible to prove a negative.:peace
