which said we should look at his republican lieutenant governor who will really be running the state while Christie only poses for photo ops.

And we should be celebrating him as a centrist and man who can reach across the aisle, up until he get's nominated... Then we let Hillary destroy him and watch as the xtian base stays home.

but that doesn't distinguish him much from the rest of the conservatives. He fits right in there. He is not moderate.

When he shoots off his mouth (his only weapon) that is really all he has to offer. The photo op with Barack Obama of a Republican Governor showing concern for his State was so unusual it leads the media spin he must be complex like a fictional gangster. At the end of the day Christie still has a lot he needs to hide and he is still a bully. When he does fall it will be ugly and in court, too bad it will not be in an election.

That's the real and scary truth. I fear the wolves in sheep's clothing more than dumbfucks like Paul and Cruz who say, "Vote for me! I'm a wolf!" Remember the "compassionate" candidate who stole the election 13 years ago? Another phoney posing down the middle.

12. He vetoed NJ's minimum-wage bill.

Both the Senate and the Assembly passed a bill to raise NJ's minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.25 and tie it to inflation, and Chris Christie vetoed it. (It's being voted on today -- if you're in NJ, remember to vote YES on Question #2!)

That should be enough information for any liberal out there who still thinks Chris Christie is a moderate.

I am really amazed that she gets as little attention as she does, but hopefully her appearance in the Christie vs. Teacher pictures will encourage people to find out more about her.

I THINK THIS WOMAN CAN HARDLY WAIT TO GET HER HANDS ON THE PUBLIC ASSETS OF THE UNITED STATES AND FIRE-SALE THEM TO WALL STREETERS.
