While I do not like the way Christie continues to suck up to Obama, I am amused by the reaction of PETA over what most people would do if a spider was crawling across their table

That is exactly what did it for me. Any man that does not oppose obama with his all does not get my support. -Tyr

[aboutime]

TWO NEGATIVES. OBAMA and PETA. What a waste of time, and space.

[aboutime]

I admire Christie. And I do not believe he is actually sucking up to Obama

The man is a GOV. of an Important, Struggling state, and his responsibility is to THE PEOPLE of New Jersey.


If he did any less for them. I would agree about not liking him. But I do believe. After remembering who had his job previously.
Christie is exactly what that State Needed....ten years ago.
Of course. He knows you can never please everyone. But then....Look at who Obama has pleased.....How bout You? Are you pleased with Obama?
Christie is a Politician. We must remember that.
He only does what he needs to uphold his oath. More than anyone can say about Obama the liar.

[hjmick]

Fuck PETA.

[NightTrain]

Fuck PETA.


Seconded.

[Tyr-Ziu Saxnot]

Fuck PETA.

I tend to agree with that sentiment more than I disagree with it.
PETA IS TOO DAMN NAZI LIKE IN MY OPINION. SOME OF THEIR IDEAS I CAN AGREE WITH, MANY I CAN NOT..

[Voted4Reagan]

I'd vote for the Spider...

At least he's not lifelong politician

having been born, raised and lived in NJ (prior to my divorce), I agree 100% with the above post.

I sincerely hope Christie decides to run for President in 2016.

Oh he did suck up to Obama, and the pic of the bear hug days before the election did alot for Obama

Then he went after the R's in the House for wanting cut the pork out of the Sandy relief bill. The liberal media loved it

But his actions have been dismissed due to Christie having to run for re-election in a blue state = to that I say BS

[Noir]

Things PETA should be more concerned about -

Body shaming http://www.feministe.us/blog/archives/2009/08/18/peta-fat-shaming-and-consequences/

Hyper-sexualisation of women, and associated sexual abuse
http://www.about-face.org/peta-people-for-the-egregious-treatment-of-adult-women/#.UYeGjFy9LCS

And the 1965 animals (mainly cats and dogs) that PETA disposed of by murdering them. Resulting in a 96% kill rate of animals 'taken into care'

Christie says he and Obama have fundamentally different views on governing. But he said the two men did what needed to be done for a devastated region.

"I've got a job to do," he said. "You wake up and 7 million of your 8.8 million citizens are out of power, you're not thinking about presidential politics."



Christie challenged his critics to put themselves in his shoes while dealing with the massive storm, predicting none of them would have done anything differently.
"I have a 95 percent level of disagreement with Barack Obama," Christie said. But that did not come into play while dealing with the storm.
"We saw suffering together," Christie said. "Everything the president promised me they'd do, they've done. I don't have any complaint this morning on the issue of disaster relief."



Would you prefer he'd have told Obama 'Go fuck yourself, buddy. We don't need your disaster relief money!" I seriously doubt many Sandy victims would have wanted that kind of reaction from their governor.

He seems to be pissing off the Republican party quite a bit. He might have to run as an independent
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a Clinton/Christie Democrat ticket.

His numbers are down slightly from Feb, but they still look pretty good.

http://www.politickernj.com/64737/monmouth-university-poll-christie-approval-rating-63


Currently, Gov. Christie earns a 63% approve to 26% disapprove job rating among all Garden State residents. Among registered voters, his rating stands at 65% approve to 26% disapprove. In February, his job approval rating was 70% to 17% among all residents and 70% to 16% among voters. This decline has occurred across every demographic group, but he still earns majority approval from Republicans (86%), independents (64%), and Democrats (52%) alike, as well as from the state’s public workers (54%).


Nearly 6-in-10 (59%) registered voters say that Gov. Christie deserves a second term, down just slightly from his February support level (63%). Just one-third (34%) say it is time to put someone else in office and 7% are not sure whether the governor merits re-election. The slight drop in the governor’s overall re-election support comes mainly from independent voters – standing at a still-solid 59%, but down from 68% in February.

No doubt that he is popular with the people. I was speaking more to Republican party machine. I don't know if they will get behind him for a presidential run.
I don't care how he will pull it off. I'd love to see the guy make a run. If anything, I think he'd liven up the entire campaign!

With fewer than 1,000 days before the first primary, it's time to put a new, potential candidate at the top of the handicapping heap.

Marco Rubio has held the top spot since this site's inception, but there are a couple reasons (more technically, nine) why he's losing that spot and why Chris Christie is now the likeliest guy to win the GOP nomination in 2016.

The chief is this -- with his embrace of immigration reform, Rubio is now much less likely to be The Unity Conservative Candidate who can knock off the Unity Moderate Candidate -- Chris Christie.

As conservatives splinter, Christie can sweep up the middle.


1. Christie's space is less crowded.
2. Immigration will hurt Rubio, but not Christie.
3. Christie can crush low expectations.
4. The GOP tends to nominate moderates at the presidential level.
5. The tea party is past its peak.
6. Christie meets baseline GOP litmus tests.
7. The Midwest.
8. Governor > Senator.
9. Christie is the biggest rock star in the field.

Marcus. I do think. As time goes on. Depending on the outcome of most of the investigations over Benghazi, and
the many other Obama problems that have dragged notable Democrats into the Threatened mode.
We may just see a kind of Rebirth of the Tea Party movement, and Christie may be their Number One
candidate IF....Hillary, and Biden are the first to announce they are really running.
Rubio has a good chance for the Chicano increase in Republican voters, but I still think he's too junior
at this time. Right now. I see Christie as the 1st position eventually. Just as you do.
Trouble is. There still is too much time to cover. And everything is going to depend on the 2014
votes that again decide the Majorities in both Houses of Congress.

If anyone has any questions about PETA, start by watching the Penn & Teller Bullshit episode about PETA. Then start looking into their ties with what can only be described as a domestic terrorist...

No I did expect Chris to tell Congress to take the pork out of the relief bill - but he had the gall to say their was no pork and demanded they pass it at once




As Congress (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/congress/) takes up the second slice of relief money for Superstorm Sandy, the influential Club for Growth (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/club-for-growth/) said Monday it will seek to punish the lawmakers who support the $51 billion package because it includes wasteful spending and pork that have nothing to do with reconstruction efforts in the Northeast.


New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/christopher-j-christie/), meanwhile, continued to ramp up pressure on Congress (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/congress/) to pass the relief package, saying that the proposal before Congress (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/congress/) “simply isn’t” a pork bill, and that he has been assured that the GOP (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/republican-party/)-controlled House will handle the Sandy relief legislation in a similar fashion to how Congress (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/congress/) handled federal assistance for victims of Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coast, the tornado that slammed Joplin, Mo., and floods in Iowa.


“We don’t expect anything more than that, but will not accept anything less,” Mr. Christie (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/christopher-j-christie/) said, after touring recovery efforts in Bradley Beach, N.J. “If they want to make new rules about disasters, well they picked the wrong state to make the new rules with, and we are going to continue to fight as hard as we need to.”
The dueling messages underscore the divisions within Republicans ranks over the relief package — a $17 billion bill and $34 billion amendment —- that the House is expected to vote on this week.


Earlier this month, Congress (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/congress/) approved a $9 billion relief package to fund the Federal Emergency Management Agency (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/federal-emergency-management-agency/)’s flood insurance program.
But Mr. Christie (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/christopher-j-christie/), New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/andrew-cuomo/), a Democrat, and other elected leaders from the Northeast — and both sides of the political aisle — have been waiting on Congress (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/congress/) to approve more emergency funding and harshly criticized the delay.


The funding was expected to be voted on two weeks ago, but House Speaker John A. Boehner (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/john-boehner/), Ohio Republican, changed gears and pulled a proposal after Republican lawmakers raised questions about some of the spending that was unrelated to the relief efforts.

and the pork that both sides loaded the bill down with? *that Chris said was not there*





snip

On top of the $17 billion bill, Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ) offered another amendment that added $33.7 billion to the aid package. That measure passed 228-192, with 20 Republicans (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/01/15/Sandy-vote-provides-first-primary-target-list) from unaffected areas voting for it. As Human Events (http://www.humanevents.com/2013/01/15/gop-splits-over-pork-funding-in-sandy-aid/) notes, the Frelinghuysen amendment was loaded with superfluous spending, including “$500 million for weather forecasting and to help create an ocean zoning plan–the later one of Obama’s pet projects. Also included are $10 million for FBI salaries $2 billion for road construction across the country, as well as funding for the Head Start program, roof repairs at the Smithsonian, and $150 million for fisheries across the country.”


The third piece of the relief package involved a $9 billion bill passed earlier this month for the National Flood Insurance Program.
But as with most legislative efforts, say critics, the devil is in the details. Take, for example, the Frelinghuysen amendment. According to Patrick Louis Knudsen (http://blog.heritage.org/2013/01/14/hurricane-sandy-relief-an-early-opportunity-for-budgeting/) of the Heritage Foundation:




One of the most stunning elements in the amendment is $16 billion for the Community Development Block Grant, a slush fund that states and localities can hand out pretty much anywhere they choose. The amendment contains several pages of language ostensibly aimed at restricting use of the funds, but also says they can be applied to “other eligible events in calendar years 2011, 2012, and 2013.” It’s just a guess, but events in 2011 and 2013 are not likely the result of Hurricane Sandy. This is the kind of spending that helps unravel coherent budgeting and contributes to chronic, trillion-dollar deficits.


American Majority Action (http://americanmajorityaction.org/), which emerged as an early leader in opposing efforts to pack pork into the Sandy relief package, says neither the $17 billion base bill nor the $33 billion Frelinghuysen amendment offset spending, and less than 20% of the aid they promise will be received in 2013.

and he has flip flopped on Obamacare

Looks like Chris is forgetting who helped get him elected in the first place




New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie’s reversal on accepting the Obamacare Medicaid expansion was a political no-brainer for a politician running for re-election in a blue state this year.


But the move has uncertain implications for Christie as a potential 2016 contender who is already taking darts from some conservatives over his bona fides.
