Chris Christie bridge-lane closure "scandal"
« on: January 09, 2014, 12:55:51 PM »
If y'all haven't heard about this by now, I don't know how you missed it.  Rush said earlier that more airtime has already been spent on this than was spent on Benghazi.

To recap:  In September, a Christie staffer, a Port Authority official and a couple of other Christie-associated people colluded in orchestrating a four-lane road closure on the GW Bridge into Fort Lee, NJ/NYC, causing massive traffic jams for days, in retaliation against the Mayor of Fort Lee for not supporting Christie's re-election bid -- and then they lied to Christie when asked, denying any involvement.

This led Christie to go blustering about in his usual manner, committing several faux pas especially now that the truth is out. 

Where we are right now is the Usual Suspect Republicans and some "conservatives" have begun slobbering over Christie's "masterful handling" of the situation -- Presidential, donchaknow; the Usual Suspect Democrats are out for Christie blood, on the other hand.

Boehner: Christie remains presidential contender

Ya, whatever.

Republicans could use this opportunity to take a harsh stand against road closures, just to spite a people, if some leader doesn't get everything he wants.  Maybe rub low information media's noses into the obvious double standard they're taking on the subject.  Monkeys could also start flying out of by butt.

Put Christie up for president in 2016= another Democrat (most likely Hillary) in the White House.

Leave Christie in Jersey.   In a state as blue as New Jersey,  Christie works as governor.   As president for the whole country.  Not so much.    He is too RINOy at times.   Voters have demanded a true conservative and haven't gotten anyone in 2008 and 2012,  and Christie 2016 would be yet another failure of Republican "leadership".   

On the subject of "Bridgegate".   Its one of those things when Democrats do it,  nobody cries foul.   Its a play straight from their playbook.   I imagine Democrats pull these kinds of stunts on a regular basis in the NYC area.   But when a Republican does it,  all hell break loose.     Should they have done it?  Of course not,  only Democrats can get away with this type of sleaze.  Frankly Republican stink at trying to be Democrats.

I hate it when I find myself defending my enemies.

So far, what I've heard and read about this I must side with Crusty. Should it turn out that he is lying I hope that they crucify him.

That said, even if this is true, the level of severity of this "offense" doesn't rise to what Øbozo commits on a daily basis.

There is that.  I don't know if he's lying or not, iow, I don't care.

They put him up as the R nominee, there's no way I'm voting for him.  None.  No nose holding and no vote, period.

This current hoohah is nothing compared to who he really is, who Romney's vetters know he is; he's anti-2A and pro-muslim; he appointed an activist 'slim to a NJ court.  What else they discovered is slimy, but these two things for me are enough.

I will not vote for an anti-gun, fat-ass bully boy RINO Republican. I won't stay home, but I will vote for any other constitution candidates.

Yeah.  Not defending His Bloated Highness, but he missed a golden opportunity to sucker the media and give Obamian answers to this scandal and skewer them when they go apesh*t...but he like Obama is a Ruling Class jerk, so that thought would never have entered his mind.  The duplicity of the media is stark, sickening and infuriating...but when has it not been so these past 40 years, hmmm?

I'm having a hard time caring about Christie, the media, Dem's or Pubbies...they all deserve my wrath!

What I would love to see is an independent voice stepping forward who will do battle with all our enemies...but candidates are coming up short...

Back to tending to my own business...
