"Today is a very good day for Chris Christie

Late Thursday night, WNBC -- the NBC affiliate in New York City -- reported that a federal investigation into the closure of lanes on the George Washington Bridge had turned up no link to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. The nine-month investigation has "thus far uncovered no evidence indicating that he either knew in advance or directed the closure of traffic lanes on the span," according to the report, which cited federal officials......"

Damage already done. Southern Republicans, who already wanted him to fail, are too stupid to understand the results of an investigation. I mean, those are the same people who asked John McCain in a town hall why Obama was an Arab. That's the mentality of the people he has to win back, and he's just a fat ass New Jersey yankee liberal in their feeble minds. The fact he's probably the only viable Republican with a shot of actually working with Democrats in Congress to begin moving the country somewhere, ANYWHERE again is lost on them.

Republican candidate prerequisites:
-White
-Male (unless a batshit crazy former beauty queen)
-Protestant (preferably Baptist)
-Red state resident (preferably between South Carolina and Texas)
-Has a wife they pretend to love
-Nice hair
-Loves to wear cowboy attire when not in plush home or office
-No real military service, but token guard or ROTC experience a plus
-No well-documented arrests for cocaine or gay prostitute patronage

Its that condescending attitude right there ^^^^that most southerners dont like

and the fact that they are smart enough to recognize another big government big spender republican when they see one

so in that respect they are much smarter than the average New Jerseyite or Delawarian

[93henfan]

Ooooh. Touched a nerve.

Delaware is an interesting state, btw. If you take away the 50 square miles of niggras upstate, you're left with a red state that could easily be broken off, floated down to Georgia, and reattached. The accents would sound funny, but everything else pretty much the same.

Spoiler: show

Adnd I don't really think Southerners are stupid.

NINE FUCKING MONTHS to determine whether he ordered lanes of a bridge closed. THIS is what our tax dollars are paying for. Is it any wonder our country borrows 33 cents of every dollar from China?

Not offend, just shows one's true colors. ANd the level of immaturity.

Oh wait.

You said "liberal".
Whew!!!
For a minute there I thought you were talking about me.

Interesting editorial on Christie:

"George Will: Chris Christie lays the groundwork for a 2016 presidential run

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie could be forgiven if he had chips on both shoulders as big as those shoulders. This year, the first of his second term, has been overshadowed by often partisan investigations, more protracted than productive, of the involvement of several of his former aides — he fired them — in the closing of some access lanes to the George Washington Bridge.

Nevertheless, Christie today radiates serenity. His critics, including many Hillary Clinton enthusiasts, hoped the past 12 months would be for him a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year. He has, however, thrived.

He won two elections last November. One was for a second term as governor, in which he received 60 percent of the vote, including 57 percent of women, 51 percent of Hispanics and 21 percent of African Americans. The other election — which was, in its way, harder fought; his rivals included other potential presidential aspirants — was to become chairman of the Republican Governors Association.

In this capacity, Christie has been crisscrossing the country, campaigning for and distributing contributions to Republican gubernatorial candidates. And campaigning for other Republicans. He carried over into this year $50 million the RGA had in its coffers; he has presided over the raising of at least another $50 million; by Nov. 4 he will have perhaps raised upward of another $10 million. By then he will have been in more than 30 states in 11 months.......

Republicans must ask each potential nominee: What brick can you remove from the Blue Wall? It is built from 18 states and the District of Columbia, jurisdictions that have voted Democratic in at least six consecutive presidential elections and have, together, 242 electoral votes. To sharpen the question: Who can take his persona and message to, say, Philadelphia’s suburbs? In a sense, Christie already has, twice. Running for governor required advertising on Philadelphia television.

He is a pro-life governor elected twice in a deep-blue state to which he has delivered $2.35 billion in tax cuts and in which the government budget is now less in real dollars than it was in fiscal 2008. To those who fault him for his positions on this or that, he amiably says: “If you’re looking for someone you agree with 100 percent of the time, go home and look in the mirror, because you’re it.” And, he adds, if someone says he agrees with you completely, “He’s lying.”

He may, however, have taken a judicious step toward accommodating one passion of the Republican nominating electorate. In July, he established a commission “to review the effectiveness” of New Jersey’s student assessments, “including the Common Core State Standards.” This could be a means of stepping away from the Common Core, support for which will be a huge impediment for any Republican aspirant.

When asked whether he might be a wine that will not travel — whether his occasional pugnacity might not play nationwide, or seem presidential — he laughs, noting that, during his recent trip to Mexico, journalists traveling with him seemed puzzled by his sedate, diplomatic manner. He asked them, “Do you think I have only one [golf] club, a driver, in my bag?”

During a 2008 Democratic candidates’ debate, Barack Obama said icily, “You’re likable enough, Hillary.” He is not so much anymore. Is she? Christie’s strength against her might be the variable that explains most presidential elections: likability.

Also, Americans often elect presidents who conspicuously lack the perceived defect of the preceding president (e.g., Jack Kennedy’s youth contrasting with Dwight Eisenhower’s age, Ronald Reagan’s strength correcting for Jimmy Carter’s weakness). Christie, who exudes executive authority, is the antithesis of today’s bewildered incumbent floundering from the disappearing “red line” regarding Syria to the HealthCare.gov debacle to the Veterans Affairs scandals to the no-one-tells-me-anything surprise about the Islamic State to the Secret Service that cannot lock the White House’s front door.

Christie the zestful political combatant is also, and first, a father, with two of his four children, 14 and 11, at home. This will influence his decision about 2016. But so, he says, will this: His wife, Mary Pat, does not want him sitting in the back yard, years hence, harboring regrets about a road not taken."

Christie's been to Iowa a couple times recently to campaign for the Republican governor and congressional candidates. He's coming back in two weeks for the governor's birthday bash and will be giving a speech. I'm going to the bash and I'm looking forward to hearing him speak.

It hurts your feelings because it's true.

Obama: Like Reagan, a reduction in government employment, low tax rates on top earners, but with better deficit reduction numbers, no amnesty of 11 million illegals, more bombs being dropped, and black.

Obama called Reagan a "transformational president."

Oh well, at least Reagan didn't bring us the ACA.
