YES … AND HE’S UNDER FIRE FOR HIS SUPPORT OF LIBERAL JUDGES
Hold up … we were pretty sure that left-leaning, Obama-loving, buffet-inhaling New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was no longer being seriously considered as a 2016 presidential candidate.
Did something change? Seriously … did we just imagine the whole George Washington Bridge scandal?
Apparently Christie and his establishment “Republican” allies still fancy him as presidential timber – which is why the Garden State’s traffic-snarler-in-chief is headed to Iowa this week. According to The Iowa Republican , Christie will visit the Hawkeye State on Thursday to “headline fundraisers for Iowa Governor Terry Branstad and Republican Speaker of the Iowa House Kraig Paulsen.”
Waiting for him? An advertisement run by the Judicial Crisis Network targeting his support for liberal judges.
“New Jersey’s Supreme Court has been one of the most activist courts in the nation,” the narrator of the spot says. “The court’s liberal rulings have wreaked havoc on state finances, driven away businesses and jeopardized jobs. Over and over, Gov. Christie promised he would fix it – remake the court with judges who respect the rule of law. Over and over, he broke his promise.”
Here’s the ninety-second spot …

Actually “activist” judges don’t bother us … as long as their activism is on behalf of the people, not the government.
The ad also makes mention of Christie’s support for the nomination of liberal U.S. Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor – who was also supported by U.S. Sen. Linsdey Graham (RINO-S.C.).
Christie has vowed to do whatever he can to help reelect Graham. He’s also tight with S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley – who rushed to his defense in the aftermath of the bridge scandal, saying his handling of the crisis “showed leadership.”
Really? We thought it showed an overweight faux Republican saying and doing whatever he could to salvage his political career …

I wonder if that caused the pilot any problems…..
I’ll bet there was a concerted effort to control the food choices on that flight.

The people are the government.
Uhhh, not for quite some time. Unless by “the people”, you mean the rich politicians at the top who stay there only so they can get richer and more powerful by the minute.
..wait… are you saying the majority of the population is not being represented??
Pretty much, euwe! We get (anymore just about every time, every election) non-choices, each just about as evil as the other, to vote for. We select one who seems to be the lesser evil, and they go to their office and represent the hell out of themselves and their cronies, the people be damned.
The most naive comment of the day. I wish it was a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
You have evidence that it’s not???
This could be seditious – how many people have you talked to about this?
And who interprets what “is on behalf of the people?”
Fits of course!
Can he beat Hillary?
“Can he beat Hillary?”
Nope. Next.
At a hot dog eating contest, maybe.
Of course he can beat her at that…Hillary stays away from the wieners, why do you think Bill had to go on the prowl in the first place?

You mean Fox is still running that crawler at the bottom of the screen with “Is Hillary Clinton a lesbian??” . . .
Janet Reno is Chelsea’s real dad.
At a hot dog eating contest,…
Miss Lindsay would beat ’em both.
Christe, Obama, and Graham—– Where is the wiener ?
What would be the point? He’s just about as liberal as she is.
2016 will probably come down to Jeb Bush vs Elizabeth Warren. No choice vs. Worse Choice.
2016 will probably come down to Jeb Bush vs Elizabeth Warren.
Oh. God. No.
That is the worst case scenario from hell but not impossible.
Agreed, however the progressive wing of the Democratic party have turned against Hillary and the O-Bot wing hates her as a matter of course. The progressives love Pocahontas (AKA Elizabeth Warren).
The Republican party has no real outstanding candidate or anyone showing leadership on a multitude of issues. There is also the rift between the “mainstream” Republicans and the Tea Party / conservative wing of the party. The Republicans need a Reagan type candidate to unite the party otherwise someone like Jeb Bush is going to primaries (likely by plurality not a majority) and either force the nomination to the convention or win by the narrowest of margins.
The better question is “Can candidate x beat Elizabeth Warren?” She’s the more likely nominee at this point.
“I’m an Indian Outlawwwwww……half Cherokee and Choctawwwww ….My baby, she’s a Chippewa-wa …she’s one of a kind….”
Cardiovascular Disease vs Alzheimers
She seemed to have her wits last night.
Looks like the governor’s had lap band surgery.

Chris Christie and his tax cutting ways “have wreaked havoc on state finances”, not the judiciary.
He has done almost as much damage as Brownback has in Kansas.
If Christie can’t moderate his diet resorting to banding his stomach and what not, he can’t moderate his politics.
There is not an executive bariatric chair to hold his fat ass. Forget Marine One chopper flights. I guess they could remove two dividers in a three seat section on AF-1. But they won’t be able to widen the hatch or escalate him up and to the hatch. Hydraulics could not lift his fat ass. Could you picture him manually trying to step up the ramp into AF-1? Me neither. To get into AF-1, they would have to use one of those Sikorsky choppers to lift him up to the hatch…or the cargo bay hatch…forget it.
Good time of the year for Giganto to head out to Iowa. County fairs going on, chances to chow down on some great corn-on-a-stick soaked in melted butter. Huge burgers, polish sausage sandwiches. Big tubs of ice cream. Big steak sandwiches. Giant mugs of beer. You go Chris, you go.
If we get lucky he will explode.
Yo, nice farm field you got there. Be a shame if anything were to happen to – you know what I mean?
