I like Christie because he has the balls to tell the idiots in his party that they are ****ing idiots.
 
Christie had nothing to do with Romney's defeat. I'd be genuinely surprised if even a hundred thousand votes were changed by his actions.

Of the votes changed, I'd have to think most of them would be in New Jersey anyway. They certainly couldn't have comprised the entire 5.4% margins Romney would've had to make up in Colorado or Pennsylvania anyway.

I think Gov. Christie will be running for president in 2016; he realizes that a far out right winger can not win a general election, so he is showing he's presidential material with his comments.

It's a shame that the new breed of reuplicans can't see it that way.

You really think that Democrats will nominate him?

He's a Republican and the Republicans would be foolish not to nominate him in my opinion. The Republican need a good honest center-right candidate if they want to win the WH.

That was an attempt at humor, yes?

I hold a faint, perhaps forlorn, hope the GOP comes back to the mainstream of politics and I also believe it is painfully obvious that neither extreme wing can get elected, the Dems couldn't back in Nixon's day and the TPs couldn't get any of their myriad of clumsy candidates past the primaries and so warped the party platform the survivor was damaged goods.

No idea who can be a strong moderate and carve out the middle for a victory, but I doubt Christie sees jumping ship as the winning strategy...
 
Another thought I have about Christie is that if he does become president, he'll have the nicest titties of any president since Taft.

Gentlemen do this.
Do we have a shortage of gentlemen here in the USA ?
 
The sad part about all of this is that so many people immediately attempt to classify a guy as a traitor or moderate when really all said guy is doing is expressing his honest opinion. I think it shows just how polarized of a country we live in.
 
if he ever had asperations of running for president on the republican ticket he can forget about it now. Maybe he and Colin Powell could run as scum sucking liberals on the democrat presidential ticket in 2016.
 
I like Christie. He is truly a moderate republican. It is honorable, not a shame, that he is willing to work with the president.You'd think that the Washington republicans would take a look at his popularity numbers and follow suit. Apparently not, sadly
 
I dislike his political position but i applaud him for not being afriad to speak out against his party.
 
I heard Chris Christie eats 2 boxes of crispy cream donuts a day, Can anyone confirm that?

If so I think we need to get Michell Obama on that right away......

For the next phoney photo op these 2 have they wont look like such an odd couple strolling down the beach together.
 
He's realized he's not getting any further in his party, so he's feathering his bed by puppying up to the opposing party. The first to go roundheels like this always gets a few treats, and those will help him with re-election. So, he won't be nominated for higher office, but he figures at least he can keep this one and get a few perks as payoff.

Remember, this is a Jersey politician we're talking about. Most likely his motives are not what most of us would call pure.

The best I can say about this post is that it is odd.
More truthfully is that it is silly and childish.

Christie has become a Democrat, without the honor of switching parties.

How so? Support of the president does not mean you are a part of his party. Beyond that, parties are ridiculous labels that ain't growth and progression just as President Washington created it would

Well...

1. After giving the keynote nomination speech for Romney, he turned around and declared Obama is "doing a great job!"
2. while also then boycotting all Romney functions.
3. He then went on to condemn ALL Republicans in Congress,
4. declared he supports further expanding the size of government, and
5. Opposes gun owner's rights,
6. while appointing himself of the president's children in his view that
7. politicians like Obama and himself and their children deserve protect via firearms that no one else should have for themselves or their children.

Name anything about him you would define as Republican or supporting Republicans.

He has very good reason to speak against his party. They are failing tremendously in both winning votes and the hearts of the people. He clearly wants to distance himself from the bad. Don't forget he also spoke against the president in early 2012
