Raddled face. But that's just me. He's just a pimp poseur to me. I wish I could really articulate my outrage right now. This will have to do. And yes it's about his weight. He has confused his girth with muscles and machismo, thus the al pachino impersonations. He acts like Tony soprano. My sister could slap him into the last century.

For the life of me, I can't understand why any Democrat would want to vote for this major mistake's re-election.

He was swept in with all the other Teapublicans and since then, has been as Teapublican as the best of them! He's done more damage to New Jersey than Jon Corzine has, but he gets no flack for it. He disrespects women, the equal rights of the LGBT community, and anyone and everyone he comes into contact with if they dare oppose him.

Democratic members should be in full attack mode against this guy, but they remain "mum". I don't get it.

That's the one (and only) thing that I can admire in the Republican Party - when they smell just a droplet of blood in the political water, they go into a frenzy against their opponent. Democrats appear incapable of doing the same - unless, of course, it's against a Progressive.

but I wouldn't take that bet. He did attend the Koch Brothers meeting in Colorado. Whatever else he does, he has the backing of the .001%.

And most Americans don't realize that, or why it's the biggest reason to oppose Christie and his ilk.

This teacher is a Facebook friend of mine and she bravely followed Christie's campaign bus today and was the only one at the rally who didn't support him. She isn't even sure who took this picture. She found it on Twitter.

But if there is a video, I will be sure to share it.

He is a big man to be barking at a women like that. It is so out of control and uncalled for. Teachers do their jobs and much more. What a bad attitude for him to have with a teacher! I admire her for her fortitude and I hope this will not intimidate her in any way.

Why isn't Christie doing HIS job? You're an elected official, Sir. A public servant. It ought to damn well be your obligation to act with some level of humility - as well as with some respect and courtesy for the people YOU are supposed to be serving. No, Mr. Christie... the question is... why don't YOU do YOUR job? Why don't your ignorant colleagues? Is it, perhaps, because you're bringing in over 170 grand a year by not doing much beyond grand standing, fundraising (read: begging for handouts!) and insulting decent people?

Do YOUR job. Asshole.

the thought occurred to me to vote for a Republican for President (like he wants to be), I would never, ever, vote for someone who feels it necessary to yell at people. That is not effective leadership. The only time yelling IS effective leadership is when the building is on fire. Then it's ok to yell at people!

Down South, we still have large numbers of racists who will pull the lever for the (R) every time no matter what. We also have millions of religious fanatics who only vote for Republicans (think of the fetuses!).

But why in the Devil's Hell do these Northern states (who should know better by now) keep electing Republicans to statewide office?

I'm baffled.

I understand why I'm stuck with asshole (and former Democrat) Nathan Deal.

Buy why Christie? Why Kasich? Why Scott freakin' Walker? Why that asshole in Michigan? (Michigan, c'mon!)
