Question: Do you think this scandal will be Watergate for Chris Christie?

At first glance it looks bad

:lol: Puh-leeze. Politicians do that stuff to each other all the time and the masses have an extremely short attention span.

Chris Christie's "Watergate" is that he's a closet Democrat.

From what I heard on the news today, not only were thousands of people inconvenienced, but also a lady being rushed to the hospital due to a heart attack had died because of Christie's vindictiveness.

The way I heard it, she was 91, and was dead when they got to her, they only needed to get her to the hospital to be formally pronounced dead.

Mark my words, this is Chris Christie's Chappaquid ...dick.

He'll never be President.

Hillary is moving into position without much difficulty. It may be her destiny to become President.

I did not know her age. Still, the potential for loss of life was there, had there been someone else needing to be rushed to the hospital.

Imagine if the press had been as intrigued about Bengazigate, IRSgate, NSA overreach, Fast & Furious, & Obamacare chaos as they are right now about Christie.

I am not a Christie admirer, but his demeanor is a refreshing contrast to how Obama handles has handled Benghazi, the IRS, the NSA - but aren't we all so tired of this?

Regardless of which party you belong to, it seems our country has an elite establishment that is above the laws. Use the IRS to help win the election, take revenge on the mayor by causing traffic jams, taxpayers, peoples' lives are just a means to an end. It's all just a stupid game to them.

As for Hillary. Hmm. Other than what difference does it make, I still did not hear what Hillary has to say about four dead people.

With or without apologies, most politicians should likely be flogged or executed at the ends of their terms for crimes against the people. America deserves better.

Both sides are happy to see him go.

It's a shame too, I always liked the guy.

However, he overstepped the mark in his recent acceptance speech, when he said this ...

Quote:
But on October 29th of last year, that job changed. It’s no longer a job for me. It’s a mission. You see, a mission is different than a job. A mission is something that’s sacred. It’s a sacred trust that was thrust upon me and you on October 29th of last year.

And that mission, that mission is to make sure that everyone, everyone in New Jersey who’s affected by Sandy is returned to normalcy in their life. And i want to promise you tonight, i will not let anyone, anything, any political party, any governmental entity or ANY FORCE get in between me and the completion of my mission.

He is a bully, plain and simple. All you have to do is watch him talk and you can tell. Maybe this would be missed by some people with Asperger's but I can't for the life of me understand why people seem to think he is a good guy. He is clearly not.

If he even makes it to the presidential elections it will be a sickening display of ignorance by the American people.

People are convinced his bullyishness is a sign that he speaks his mind and is a straight shooter. Of course, it means no such thing. On the contrary, it just means he's an as**ole.

The first time I heard about this, I was thinking who the hell is this guy and why should I care?
I looked for something that really mattered and found that congress now has a bill that will approve the fast track authority for the Trans Pacific Partnership. Yep, we've been distracted again.

Never underestimate the stupidity of a Republican. Yes it will. He is finished.

^^^
And as Christie is so far the only major contender for the Republican presidential nomination who isn't a right wing loon, I dare say the Democrats may very well retain the White House in the next Presidential run without him as competition.

I have yet to see a viable candidate in the Republican ranks, besides Chris Christie.

I also think this scandal has the potential to taint the Republican party as a whole.

They're only good for one thing .... snarling everything they touch.

It's odd how there's so much outrage over this traffic jam thing. Where's the same outrage over Benghazi or the IRS scandal or the NSA spying scandal?
