As happens at most of Romney’s rallies, protesters interrupted the candidate’s stump speech

Romney appeared at Exeter High School with a political celebrity, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

As happens at most of Romney’s rallies, protesters interrupted the candidate’s stump speech with chants of, “Mitt kills jobs! Mitt kills jobs! Mitt kills jobs!”

At another point, protestors chanted, “Christie kills jobs! Christie kills jobs,” drawing a rebuke from the New Jersey governor who accused them of “Barack Obama-induced anger.”

. . . the gangster act is reprehensible. These republicans have no shame. So, Christie is not only an asshole, he's a sexist asshole.

_____ Savoring the occasion, Christie feigned insult and said, “Really?”

As the crowd egged him on, he added: “You know, something may go down tonight, but it ain’t going to be jobs, sweetheart.”

“If she wasn’t so blind by her Barack Obama-induced anger, she’d know that American jobs are coming back when Mitt Romney is the next president of the United States,” he said in singling out one female protester.

Of course it has to be Obama induced anger, they couldn't possibly suck all on their own.

. . . it played well in the backroom among the republican elite and their ilk - such a powerful dude; that Obama guy they've conjured. Able to bend Democratic minds with that European, Muslim flair of his.

They must be frightened to death to posture this way. It's just more than their small minds can handle. It sounded like Christie was actually threatening that poor woman he singled out. And Romney standing by approvingly; apparently playing second fiddle to that New Jersey thug. Some tough guys.

Christie thinks he's Tony Soprano or Tom Kane from the tv show Boss. What a pig!

edited for spelling the wannabe gangsters name wrong.

Feet, yards, kilometers?

Dude was obese before, but he's nearly perfectly round now.

I doubt he'll be available to run for pResident in 2016.
