As a Republican politician, I like Chris Christie more then most of the other names being bandied about as possible GOP Presidential Candidates in 2016. With that said however, I have always found his personal style a major turn-off (loud, abrasive, confrontational, condescending, spiteful, grandstand attention whore, etc), so I am not surprised that it may finally do him in. :2 cents:

:stoned

ADG

But if this didnt happen they would have nothing to slam him for.

Really what did she ruin? I wont vote for her because I'm tired of GOP lites that pundits call liberal dems. But Im curious what do you think she ruined?

what a dick

he should resign

yes he was sort of refreshing...doesn't talk like a robot going in circles like Romney and the other Republicans...but he's over now...he's watching his political career in the rear view mirror now...he's a slow motion train wreck...I guess Hilary will be happy to battle less gifted idiots like Rubio and Paul who are too extreme to pose much of a threat

I'm from New Jersey and live in NYC, just across from Fort Lee. Fortunately (for me), this mess happened when I was in Europe at the Amsterdam Show. So I missed all the hub bub. But here's the lowdown:

Christie is a waste of human flesh. But so was John Corzine. 99.9% of politicians are wastes of human flesh and the 0.1% that are semi-decent are so smothered in slime and bullshit surrounding them that they can't do anything anyway.

Conclusion: Politicians suck.

The problem is you have to be whore to be a politician, you have to lie. People dont want to hear the truth.

People started hating McComplain when he kept bitching and moaning about everything under the sun. They also pretty much wrote him off as any kind of serious contender the moment he choose The fruit loop bimbo from Alaska as his running mate. McCain made a joke of him self and long ago wore out his 10 mins of fame.

A threat is something he never was, as I mentioned he wrote away any chance of even making it close when he choose Palin as his running mate.

I've never thought Biden was a good choice, but he is at least 100 and 10 times better than Palin.

I'd vote for Christie if he officially defected and defeated Hillary in the primary.

I agree. McCain was a pretty good contender for the race but he really blew it when Palin came on board. Had I been an American Republican, I would not have voted for McCain ONLY because - imagine this - Palin would have been 1 heart attack away from being President of the United States. This would have freaked the whole world out....!

Come on man... no need to make this personal. Of course the Demoncrats screw up too. Clinton couldn't keep his pecker in his pants and Anthony Weiner loved to send pics of his little "Carlos Danger" to his girlfriends.. and here in Quebec the political landscape is ruled by separatists and corrupt mayors. Shit happens all over. It just happens that I have an interest - call it a hobby - of American politics, and I *think* being an outsider to your fine country gives me a different perspective. That's all.


Ouch!


I watched some of it during lunch and I agree. I think he's telling the truth when he says he didn't know. It seems really unlikely, but..

I'd offer a different reason. It's on MSNBC all day (and CNN, and alot on CTV), because its tending. Everyone is talking about it and everyone is tuning in which of course means more money for them. If Lindsay Lohan fell flat on her face and it was caught on camera people would be talking about that all day. Here's a seemingly great guy that everyone on both sides of the fence likes, who may have done something petty but that may cost him his career. It's interesting television.

I dont vote R or D but McCain fucked himself hard when he nominated that moron Palin for VP...It likely cost him the election

What makes yo uthink that?

Yes I attack the president on the the shit he does, but I have to give Christie a big hand on this one, he owned it and has already fired people.

Obama on the other hand has denied knowing anything about ANYTHING and that bitch Sebelius still has her job!!!!

her biggest failure or ruin, was her 2008 campaign. She underestimated her opponent & had no plan for after super tuesday. those subsequent caucus primaries where she had no organization cost her the presidency.

her second biggest ruin was her 1993 health care law. Her husband put her in total command of that. It was her big break, & it was a disaster.

there are smaller fish after that related to her career in arkansas, such as the destruction of the rose law firm & her investment in whitewater development corporation.

I am happy to hear what she has accomplished to compensate for all this failure.

:)

Worse than that, history will forevermore best remember him for that one brain dead decision.

vendzilla shows once again that his is fully immersed in fox news and doesnt even know that - if Christie were innocent he should have and would have fired her months ago - he owned it??? wow you are a true dumbfuck - he did nothing but deny deny deny...

the only thing you said correct is: that you have very big hands - no wonder you feel affinity for that fat fuck

Heard today that CBS, NBC, and ABC have given 17 times more news coverage to Christie and this local story then they did to Obama and the IRS targeting his political opponents.

It is kind of a double standard at play here.

When Nixon targeted his opponents using the IRS, the press was all over it.

I personally am sick and tired of all these politicians. They are all a bunch of crooks.

But the media is getting worse and worse each year.

Their JOB is to question the govt.

But they only seem interested in making one political party out to be "bad" and sucking up to the other one. (unless it's Fox News and then it's the reverse of the parties)

The IRS targets political opponents. Lies are told until the truth finally comes out.
No big deal to the media.

The Benghazi fiasco. Obama HIMSELF went on television (including on the Letterman show) and lied his ass off about it.
No big deal to the media.

The NSA spying...they stood in front of Congress and committed perjury and claimed that no Americans were being spied on.
No big deal.

But a Governor is involved in a political retribution scandal?
Hold the motherfucking presses!!!!
This is BIG news, and must be covered and analyzed over and over.

Nevermind that Pres. Obama claims Chicago (of all places...the most historically politically corrupt city in America) as his home base.

The media doesn't care about anything BUT Chris Christie and a traffic jam.

Pathetic.

Meanwhile the Fed keeps printing money so our dollar becomes more and more worthless (and then people yell about raising the minimum wage), the war continues in Syria, all hell is breaking loose in Iraq, North Korea continues to work toward a nuclear weapon...
but NOTHING is as important as a Governor VS a Mayor local feud.

:(

It's like "AnchorMan 2" coming to life.

EDIT: And oh yeah...just got a letter from Blue Cross Blue Shield: My premium is now $875 a fucking month for my family of 3
Thanks "Affordable" Health Care Act!

I am just curious why any quality citizen would take party that takes from hardworking/richer and gives to lazy over the party that does not punish people because they work harder and makes more money.

If you are loser and want a pie of what other hard working person earned you vote democrat.
If you are the one who wants to earn money and not be punished for earning more than average you vote republican.

Thats the major principle on what you should chose your party.

Bible, abortion, homo rights etc etc and other things are just minor things compared to the main principle on which a person should chose a party.

dude just leave...leave the US. Your beloved "fuck the poor" party of the rich is going extinct...fast...you guys will never ever again take the white house or any national elections because people like you are way too fucking stupid to exist - natural selection is breeding you out of existence - enjoy your grand obstruction party of assholes while you can...soon you guys will be powerless to even obstruct...buh bye

I agree to some extent. If you take society and divided it into quality people and leachers/handout seekers etc you would always have more of the latter. And they have parties that cater to them. So democrats will have bigger electorate.
Romney was correct on 47%, they are leaching orientated and always would vote for the party which is for punishing hard working and giving to lazy.

Wow, is that how you argue things?

I saw him on the news, the today show, Not Fox you moron, admit and apologize , then fire the person that was responsible.
Where is that wrong, fuck, I must be a moron magnet, I seem to get all the shit for brains attacking me!

mine mine mine gimme gimme gimee - you Retardpublicans only care about your and your fat McDonalds eating families..your ideology is bankrupt your party exists only in the backwater white trash holes of the south and midwest - you promote nothing but fear and smear and your channel (Fox) is populated with greedy evil lying hate mongers BUT HEY you want to KEEP your money right? nothing wrong with that right? Fuck all the dirty poor, brown, sick, young, old - get YOURS and keep it! hahaha

Try breathing into a bag

of course you didn't hear it on Fox - they haven't touched the story - everyone knows that...the only mention yesterday of the scandal on FOX was when Shepard Smith took 2 seconds to say "If you want to hear about the Christie office emails - then google it" hahaha thats IT - that was Foxes ONLY coverage.

You are so misinformed by Fox that you are only just now hearing about this - and your reaction that he has admitted something (he didn't) and apologized (chuckle) and you think that he has put this situation behind him? This is just the beginning of the end for Christie.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewir...ristie-scandal

the end of the political career of the Republican frontrunner for president (if he's lying) and no mention from FOX haha fair and balanced!

No kidding.
Hopefully he'll find a breath of reality in that bag... wtf...:disgust

The old saying is that when you're just starting out you're usually a Democrat.
Then when you start making real money...you turn into a Republican.
:)

OMG, No he didn't... didn't you watch any news today? He did just the opposite - he threw his own people under the bus.

That's because Robbie, The IRS did NOT target his opponents. It has been proven several times already. It's a non-scandal. It was proven that the IRS actually slapped more democratic groups than republican groups.

Robbie lives in the fact free Fox bubble too...he tries to act independent but spews bogus Fox news talking points in just about every thread....what you call an embarrassed republican - the worst kind.

If you had any idea of who I am in real life, you would understand two things:
1. I'm not embarrassed to do anything. I've done some insane shit. lol

2. I am exactly what I say I am...an ex-Democrat turned Libertarian.
I think all drugs should be legal, all marriages should be free to happen (including gay marriage) because the govt. shouldn't be telling you who you can marry, and the list goes on and on.

You'll never find a republican...much less an "embarrassed" one, that is anything like me.
I believe that people should be free...not live in anarchy of course...but free to decide how they live their lives with as little outside interference as is possible.

I'm gonna put you on "ignore" now. I have a rule that anybody on here who doesn't make me one thin dime or have the ability to make money with me, and yet insults me...gets put on ignore.

This forum may be called "go fuck yourself"...but it's still SUPPOSED to be an industry forum.

So thanks for being so elitist that you thought you could somehow pigeonhole another person. Typical bleeding heart liberal elitism I suppose.

I'll say one last thing to you before I go: You aren't even CLOSE to being what I think of as liberal. Your view points are skewed and controlled by the govt. and the media.
You are a Faux-Liberal, and the guys in Washington DC that you think are so great? They are laughing at you while they live like Kings.

Republicans and Democrat politicians are the RULING Class. And they are laughing at you.

In the entertainment business (in the old carny days), we call guys like you a "Mark".

You're the ones who can be manipulated and buy into whatever you're told.

Not trying to insult you. I hope one day when you get more experience in the world...that you will be smart enough to open your eyes. :)

But anyway, off to "ignore" with you.

I'm here to have discussions with folks who are my peers. You aren't.

One of the Christie cronies at the center of the unfolding scandal in New Jersey, David Wildstein, spoke at a government investigation hearing (sort of):



The panel cited Wildstein for contempt after he repeatedly invoked the 5th amendment, and refused to testify.

:stoned

ADG

I think you're way off base on that Mark.

Did the IRS go after ONLY conservatives? Of course not.

During Nixon's years they also went after people of both political leanings.

But did they go after Nixon's enemies SPECIFICALLY because they were his enemies?
Hell yes.

And in this last year, did they go after Obama's enemies SPECIFICALLY because they were his enemies?
Hell yes.

And now Eric Holder has appointed a fucking big political DONOR to Obama's campaign to head the damn investigation into this!!!!

Can you imagine if Nixon had tried that? The press would be all over it!

But Obama is getting away with it!

He's actually having a buddy and political crony run the investigation into the IRS!

But why is there an investigation? You seem to think it's a "non-story". lol

I guess even the Pres. and the head of the Dept. of Justice had to admit that it's very real. That's why they are doing the investigation.

But of course stacking the deck ahead of time...
If you or I tried to do that in real life? We would be thrown in jail.

Nobody but the govt. can actually get away with "investigating" themselves with their political money donor being appointed to head the investigation.

Brother, you have no idea how crooked these politicians are.

No, you are wrong, O'Reilly did a piece on it.
Quit trying to be so fucking stupid

People that were responsible for what happened, he apologized right? Someone got fired right? Did you want him to fire someone else? Did you want him not to apologize?

Where was it proven, please provide links if they exist?

Also the person heading up the investigation on the IRS scandal is a contributor of the Obama administration.

the head of the investigation is Barbara Kay Bosserman, ?a trial lawyer in the Justice Department who donated more than $6,000 to Mr. Obama?s 2008 and 2012 campaigns, as well as several hundred dollars to the national Democratic Party.?

THE IRS ADMITTED TO TARGETING CONSERVATIVE GROUPS, what part of that don't you understand?

I think he's guilty.

fuck it, the democrat and republican parties both died a long time ago.

He knew it was happening way before now. He is lying. The mayor of fort lee has been screaming for awhile.
http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf...ails_show.html

Actually it was based the on the scope of the question, the only group they actually pulled their status was a left wing group but facts dont go with the story in your head so fuck it. lol

This is a lot of nothing..just a democrat sponsored deflection from obamacare and the rest of obama's problems.
