"All"? Wow, are you a die-hard Republican or what? Dude, the guy blocked off a whole town's access to the highway simply because the mayor wouldn't endorse him as a candidate. Christie is political toast now. Stupid mistake. And it was so ham-handed: "Uh, we was doin' a traffic study." I mean, Jesus Christ - come up with a better excuse than that. You don't block off lanes to do a traffic study.

Your polls all pre-date this revelation. Watch for those numbers to change.

No evidence christie himself was involved.
Nothing but idle chatter here..Move on.

I dunno.

Obama shut down WWII memorials, open air parks and sicked the IRS on his political enemies and was able to claim he didn't know anything about it. Obama was also able to claim he had no idea that the Obamacare website was total junk a day before it went live.

It will be a true test of media bias if they hold Christie more accountable for a Jersey highway than the actions that took place under Obama listed above.

Meanwhile, in other news parroted from various reliable, predictable right wing talk shows....

Anyway, Christie is about the only Republican politician I'd probably be ok with as President if we had to have another Republican. I doubt he will win though seeing as he's not bat Sh%t nutty like the other likely candidates who will pop up over times running on grossly outdated and inappropriate platforms

Funny - as if every Lefty web and news site aren't running 24/7 with the "Christie Scandal"? My bro in Europe emailed it to me before I was even up this morning.

Funny how this report comes within hours of leaks of Robert Gates' new book that is totally critical of Hillary, Obama and Slow Joe Biden.

I'm not sure you know the definition of evidence.

bgamall4 says

This is the way I look at it. Obama was responsible for the Sandy Hook Hoax,
and all the above mentioned. The Republican Party was responsible for 9/11
conspiracy and all the above mentioned.

Oh Dear Lord in Heaven!

socal2 says

Obama shut down WWII memorials, open air parks

Uh, nope - the Republicans did that. Don't you remember, they had a hissy fit because they couldn't destroy healthcare reform, so they shut down the government? It was in all the papers; can't believe you forgot already.

socal2 says

Yes, and those things hurt him politically. His popularity is at an all time low. There are consequences for your actions, as there will be consequences for Christie's actions.

Republicans wanted to delay the mandate because any halfway informed individual could have predicted the total nightmare of Obamacare's implementation and core premise and its effects on our economy.

Obama was forced to delay the individual mandate himself just a few short weeks later when faced with reality. All the painful portions have been delayed or pushed out past the election, Obamacare is nothing but shit sandwiches here on out.

So who again shut down the government and instructed parks dept to spend time and labor roping off open air memorials?

I know Republicans are blamed for everything even though they only controlled 1/3 of the US Government for nearly the last decade - but that is largely due to our media being hopeless liberals.

I think most people will wise up.

Wow, you Rushbots really live in an alternate universe, don't you? The government shutdown was 100 PERCENT the Republican party's doing. Here's a clue: If you don't want the government to shut down, DON'T SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT. You can't do it and then try to blame the other side - that's total crap and you know it.

I think it was a mistake for Obama to delay the individual mandate. He's caving to pressure from the Republican obstructionists, but it's not helping him.

Homeboy says

First - it would be nice if the media were reporting on these things BEFORE the last election. Doesn't do us much good now when Obama's main domestic program was sold to us with lies.

Even our hopeless media are forced to admit the obvious when forced to look at reality.

In America - the President is not a dictator. He has to negotiate with Congress, particularly on domestic spending issues. Republicans only control 1/3 of the government. How can the Democrats be absolved of any responsibility with their majorities?

Besides - Obama ended up doing exactly what the Republicans asked for (delay the individual mandate) just a few short weeks later.

Sure wish Obama wizened up sooner and avoided this shutdown drama. I understand why he didn't - thinking it was good politics for him. He probably knew Obamacare was going to be a total mess and had to gin up his base.

@Topic. Funny how you seem to absolve Obama from responsibility for the shutdown, IRS intimidation, Obamacare etc.......but Christie is personally responsible for highway lane closures?

Personally, I won't be surprised in the least if Christie was directly involved, seems par for the course for New Jersey politics. But I also believe Obama had personal knowledge of the IRS hassling his political adversaries.

bgamall4 says

He controls the leaders and exactly which way things will work out. And he knows conspiracy. Northwoods was the prototype of 9/11 conspiracy and Northwoods was declassified real planning for a false flag.

Plus he controls aliens, time travel, and the satanic underworld. Thats how he went back in time and planted false flags about his birth in Hawaii newspapers. I read that Sandy Hook was filmed on the same film set as the fake moon landings. What have your sources found out about that?

Straw Man says

but closure of two lanes of traffic in some little town in New Jersey is suddenly a huge, career-ruining event?

Traffic jams prevent veterans from reaching war memorials, asshole.

Straw Man says

No, dumbshit - closure of two lanes of traffic is not a career-ruining event. Endangering the public and preventing first-responders from getting to their destination on time, for no other reason than to get revenge on someone because he didn't endorse you in the election, IS a career-ruining event. And WTF does the size of the town have to do with it?

You continue to miss the point. Politicians ought not harm the public at large because of a silly personal vendetta. And if he's capable of that kind of behavior as a governor, people certainly aren't going to want him as president of the U.S.

bgamall4 says

But Sandy Hook was an obvious conspiracy made evident by poor actors with method acting skills not good enough to reflect reality.

No, that you made 7 wrong projections that Romney was going to win, then have the balls to claim OTHER people are making wrong projections.

By the way, I'm still waiting for that quote showing where I made a projection that wasn't accurate. Yeah, you got nothing.

Complete fabrication. The shutdown was not about spending at all, it was a ploy by the Republicans to try to coerce Obama into de-funding ACA.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/house-passes-bill-funding-government-defunding-obamacare/

House Republicans advanced a bill on Friday that would continue funding the government at current spending levels for nearly three months but would strip money appropriated to fund Obamacare, following through on months of threats and inviting the prospect of a government shutdown if the Senate, as expected, does not accede to the House's decision before an Oct. 1 deadline.

Your line that it was about "spending issues" is complete bullshit, made up after the Republicans got their asses handed to them on their failed shutdown ploy. They lost in the Supreme Court. They tried to repeal ACA 42 times and failed. So this was yet another attempt to repeal ACA by de-funding it. They thought they could take the government hostage and blackmail Obama into agreeing to repeal ACA. Your version of events is fiction - pure and simple.

socal2 says

Besides - Obama ended up doing exactly what the Republicans asked for (delay the individual mandate) just a few short weeks later.

I don't know where you're getting your news (maybe you're just making it up as you go along?), but this is an even bigger lie. They were trying to de-fund the ENTIRE LAW, not just delay the individual mandate.

socal2 says

Sure wish Obama wizened up sooner and avoided this shutdown drama. I understand why he didn't - thinking it was good politics for him. He probably knew Obamacare was going to be a total mess and had to gin up his base.

Well I certainly hope you enjoy living in your fantasy dreamland where you can imagine that's what happened. The rest of us prefer reality.

socal2 says

@Topic. Funny how you seem to absolve Obama from responsibility for the shutdown, IRS intimidation, Obamacare etc.......but Christie is personally responsible for highway lane closures?

Wow - three lies in one post. When did I "absolve" Obama from responsibility for the IRS scandal? As for the shutdown, please read the article. Clearly the shutdown was planned and executed by the Republican party. If you don't understand that, you are completely divorced from reality.

socal2 says

First - it would be nice if the media were reporting on these things BEFORE the last election. Doesn't do us much good now when Obama's main domestic program was sold to us with lies.

So you think there was a massive media conspiracy to refrain from reporting on Obama's statement until after the election? But then, somehow, the same media that conspired to keep the truth hidden suddenly blasted it all over the front pages for months?

Hmmm....ask Bgamall to save some of his Thorazine for you.

Another Republican Executive that doesn't know what's happening right under his nose?

Rhymes with another Republican abject failure on 9/11.

I guess the sad part about this whole bridge thing is that if it sinks Christie's chance to run for President, then that leaves mostly nutty folks instead. Hence the GOP will get stuck with yet another totally unelectable candidate. I say this as a liberal. Yet I feel that electing someone like Christy would possibly do more good for the country than electing another Democrat. Why? Because if a more moderate Republican were elected then this would have the effect of resetting the GOP and getting them out of the socially conservative funk they've been in for years. Long term that could mean more meaningful debates with more actual, useful legislation.

Well, I think you need to understand that the South is also changing, perhaps faster than the rest of the country. All of my family still lives there and what's been happening now for the better part of 20 years is that not only has there been a lot of companies moving there, but also people from primarily the Northeast, looking for cheaper housing. I'll also say that as a kid growing up in the South, we were taught in public schools to be accepting of others and that certain things like racism were NOT ok in any way. I think this was hammered home in part due to the history the South has had. So even as a kid, those who were intolerant were typically seen as in the wrong. The South to me as a Southerner is in many ways similar to the overall demographic change sweeping the country where intolerance, ignorance,and so on are increasingly giving way to an increasingly educated public. Those who are intolerant are falling in numbers.

I also don't think the entire GOP demographic is socially conservative and leaning to the far right. Most I believe are more moderate and rational. And so electing a moderate Republican-aka- what used to pass as mainstream Republican 30 years ago- would help to push out the more extreme end of the current GOP. This would be good for us all and more accurately represent what the country's population wants. The sideshow circus of the GOP is coming to an end.

At this point, it all really doesn't matter who did what anymore....

Simply put, if we the people do not eliminate everyone from both parties, we will all be broke and our rights as individuals will be a distant memory. There may be under 10 people in both parties total that have any moral compass and people here are arguing which party is better when the correct answer is neither. That's why the average American citizen is being robbed blind by the corrupt as we speak, because most of us have the word "sucker" written on our foreheads and are too ignorant to understand the game and how it's played. Maybe we all need to lose everything in this country to wake the hell up....

Could there be a bigger nothingburger?

Its very revealing how eager the demtards are for ANY distraction from the mess that is this Obama presidency

Straw Man says

OK, fuckwad, I accept this as your prediction that Christie career will be ruined by this. What happens if he gets the GOP nomination?

I suppose it's possible he could win the nomination; after all, this is the party that ran Sarah Palin for VP. But if he becomes president, then I will have been wrong.

errc says

I'm not sure which scares me more - that Christie endangered the public for no other reason than to exact petty revenge, or that you don't see that as wrong.

Straw Man says

This means nothing: dems ran a male version of Sarah Palin for VP instead of choosing much more capable candidate from the primaries lineup.

You're kidding, right? Biden ain't that great, but he's fucking Einstein compared to Palin.

Straw Man says

You can't seriously say that a politician who is nominated to run for President by his party had an unsuccessful career.

Oh, I can't? How is being nominated a "successful" political career if you lose the election? How's Ross Perot's political career going these days? But honestly, I doubt Christie would even win the nomination. The other candidates will undoubtedly use this against him to successfully paint him as a thug who has no business holding public office. Candidates of the same party don't have to be nice to each other in the primaries; it's going to be all about winning the nomination.

Hey I looked at Fox News front page, and clearly this is a big NothingBurger where Aide Nobody went off the reservation. No fact checking or investigative reporting is required, because the Christie PR machine will supply all the news you need.

Straw Man says

Don't pretend to be another Gary Anderson: Ross Perot is outside of the two-party system we have.

So? The point is, he ran as a presidential candidate. The fact that you ran as a presidential candidate does not mean you had a "successful career". A successful career requires having a JOB, not simply applying for one.

Biden smarter than Palin, lol. Did one of you dull blades really just suggest that? Too funny. Biden is the scummiest of politicians, and I always thought the dems liked his face in the spotlight because of the sympathy he draws from being a retard

errc says

You clearly didn't get what we were saying above. See, we Democrats don't want Christie to get booted out of the running because the way we see it, he's good insurance to hopefully keep anymore conservative nut wings from getting the nomination.

socal2 says

And Obama delayed the individual mandate just a few weeks later - didn't he?

Not really. The individual mandate was only delayed for those that had their existing insurance policy cancelled. That was never one of the proposals the republicans made during the government shutdown. For other individuals the mandate is still in effect with a March 31 2014 deadline to have insurance or pay a penalty on your 2014 taxes.

Lets see, Obama delayed the emloyer mandate a whole year(earlier last year) and delayed the individual mandate for those getting totally screwed by Obamacare a few weeks after the shut down.

But when Republicans requested the individual mandate be delayed like Obama did for the employer mandate - it was considered treasonous and worthy of Obama and the Democrats to shut down the government.
