Problem is that the conservative wing of the Republican party already hate Christie.
He was already gonna have hell to go through to get through the primary.
So it's not a problem for Republicans as much as it's just the left killing off the latest "good" Republican.
Like I said earlier...a year ago they LOVED him.
But now that he is the only Republican who polls show could beat Mrs. Clinton...it's time to tear him down.
You gotta admit that the media spending so much time on this story...and at the same time spending so little time on actual NEWS happening around the world (not to mention the national scandals: IRS, NSA, Benghazi, etc.) is plain evidence of a double standard in the media.
Think about it...If George Bush had done Benghazi, Harry Reid would be having Senate hearings and investigating it right now. And it would be the ONLY thing that MSNBC would be covering day in and day out.
If Bush had been caught blatantly using the IRS to target his political enemies...Oh My Fucking God! The investigations would be through the roof and the media shitstorm would be intense.
And THEN if Bush had placed a campaign donor to head the investigation...
That's what I'm saying.
Do I think Christie knew what he was doing? Hell yes. That's what politicians do. They reward other politicians that back them, and they "punish" those that don't.
Happens in Congress and the Senate every day of the week when they vote. (but in the Senate or House the leader is "admired" for keeping his party "in line")
And I also think Obama damn well knew everything in his scandals too.
I've noticed that all the faux-liberal Democrat loyalists are quick to claim that in Christie's case the buck stops at his desk. He's the guy in charge.
BUT....with Obama, the same people claim that he couldn't possibly know what his underlings are doing.
Double standard hypocrisy.
