Mayor Claims Christie Camp Held Hurricane Sandy Money Hostage

More smoke, I'm tellin ya this guy is dirty. It will be interesting to see if these probes turn up anything concrete. I'd have to say already a lot of damage has been done. Its getting harder and harder to believe this is all a conspiracy of vengeful political opponents creating a false narrative to bring him down. Its hard to believe the closest members of his staff operate in a rogue fashion making big moves right under his nose with no knowledge or directive from him.

Hilarious though, should be fun to watch this man fall apart while preaching to the choir about his innocence.
 
I'm a bit skeptical but I'm not from NJ so can't really speak to the finer details of the post-sandy relief.

You really think the mayor of Hoboken would make this up? That would be a pretty bold move, poking a rather large fish. I would assume she kept quiet because it might be hard to gain traction before but now that he is under investigation she saw an opportunity.

It's clear one side or the other engages in really dirty politics. The only solid evidence we have so far points to Christie's camp...
 
Lance Armstrong for years maintained his innocence. But once things start to unravel it quickly takes off.


It happened to both Clinton and Herman Cain with their sexual trysts. Once someone points them out others come out of the wood work too.


But of the rascals listed above I really wanted to believe Armstrong.
 
Yea, Christie is another Richard Nixon, but if the choice comes to either picking him or Hillary Clinton, my vote is for Christie. Hillary is pretty much the definition of Neoliberal, so Christie, despite all his faults (and there are a lot of them) is who I am going with...... Come to think of it, I would vote for Cthulhu before I vote for Hillary, since that would be choosing the lesser of 2 evils. LOL.

Why in hell are we in a nation of 315 million are we left with a choice of Clinton and Christie................................................. I want to scream but I don't have a mouth.
 
Did Christie do this before or after he murdered that nice little old lady?

I made a personal promise to myself not to vote for any politician who voted for the Iraq War. Ergo, if Hillary gets the nomination, I will not be voting for her in 2016. I also would not vote for a Republican for president if you put a gun to my head. Third party, here I come! Again.

**** it. I'm running. Vote Deuce. "I'm only an incompetent asshole some of the time."
 
I'm skeptical of these scandals against Christie. I think Christie may have miss spoke a few times but that's about it. Move on, nothing to see here except another left wing conspiracy theory...

Of course, preposterous the thought a politician would abuse his power.

That would put you way ahead of most of them.

Everybody has a voice with their vote; please choose from these options we have provided for you. Oh, and voting third party is a complete waste of your vote, so don't bother.

Pick your politician. Scrutinize him/her closely enough, and you'll see nothing but crap. They're all dirty.

Oh, please, there's no certainty either will be on the ballot. Let's save our overdramatic woe-is-me til we are sure those are our choices. Seems none of the shoe-ins in 2008 or 2012 ended up on the tickets, worse perhaps, but certainly not what was expected as certainty a few years before.

Please. The only consistency in American politics is the incredibly stupid remark about "choice between the lesser evil" and "polishing a turd." Americans are never wholly pleased with the selections, because no matter what a pocket of humanity will whine like a bunch of babies. If you don't like your choices, don't vote. That would probably be the best option, because then no one would give a damn what the naysayers think. The rest of us just move on.
 

Wouldn't surprise me. Christie wouldn't be the first NJ governor to engage in those kind of tactics -- what makes it stand out now in my mind is his efforts to look like a guy who is above that kind of thing.

As a friend of mine said of Christie recently: I don't know which is scarier, the idea that he was involved in this and thinks we're that stupid, or the idea that he built a machine that will pull stunts like this without his knowledge or involvement.

i am a liberal democrat but i am going insane over how everyone assumes that Hillary will be the candidate. we need someone new, a cuomo, a Schweitzer, or a gillibrand but just someone else.

When it comes to governing style, you won't find a whole lot of difference between Cuomo and Clinton.

hey, liberals on Daily Kos hate Andrew Cuomo for working with republicans in the state legislature on a few issues, and if there is anything we need in the white house is someone willing to work with both parties.

Voting third party is never a wasted vote. It's ironic that people spend so much time complaining about the two-party system then never vote third party even when there are candidates they like.

You might have missed my sarcasm. The people that run the corrupt two (one) party system want us to believe that third party options are a waste of time.

That's because they have absolutely no idea how politics work at the state level in New York. "Three Men in a Room" and "a few issues" doesn't constitute working with "both parties."
 
The wolves are out in force. Christie's politucal antagonists could accuse Christie of being a part of the Einsatzgruppen in Poland and the Libbos would jump on it like white on rice.

no one would make that comparison on such a false premise without prooving that the comparison is 100% valid.
