"I thought he was something very different. This week I found out he’s cut from the same corrupt cloth that I have been fighting for the last four years.”

Hoboken mayor, Dawn Zimmer.

2. my first thought was

this thread was about Obama

I mean, why would anybody think Christie was either honest or moral in the FIRST place?

This is often what non-voters say about ALL politicians.

I was trying to talk politics with one of my fellow temps about fifteen years ago. He seemed like a pretty smart guy, but he said he didn't vote. Why not? Answer - 'They are all a bunch of crooks.'

I said, maybe that is true, but some of them will increase the minimum wage, and some will not. Christie, of course, vetoed tax increases on the rich and then signed a budget with tax increases on the poor.

That right there seems both dishonest AND immoral, irregardless of what he did with Sandy's bridge over the river Kwai. So I am not sure why Delta Dawn could not have seen that BEFORE he was re-elected. Dude never was gonna take Jersey to that mansion in the sky.

5. because his office has prosecuted the corrupt (previous) mayors office. which is a big thing.

4. Observations from the Smokies

Seems like this guy was getting away with quite a bit before out-polling HRC.

6. Welcome to DU

enjoy your stay

10. Thanks

I appreciate your hospitality.

7. So your point is what? He should continue to "get away with quite a bit"?

[notemason]

12. No

Not at all Winky, was appalled to read he was ahead in the polls. Just my own form of comic relief to observe what followed.

[WinkyDink]

14. Funny; I inferred from your post that you thought it was some Team HRC attack. You know, the timing?

8. Toast to us, but RepubliCons love thugs and criminals...

They elect them whenever they can.

9. Let's hope that there will be a senate hearing on this

and the repukes in congress will have to weigh in and not protect him.

[Zorra]

11. Christie, like Bush, emanates bad, dark things. How any Democrat could be clueless enough to be

deceived by either of them is puzzling to me.

The first time I saw photos of Bush, and Christie, red flags went up and stayed there.

13. Incredible any Democrat uses the words honest, moral and Christie in a statement, after Tampa:

His opening sentence...

"First of all, to all the numbnut librils watching tonight,
we're gonna take a baseball bat to ya."

Chris Christie: Wall Street lobbyist for Bernie Madoff

Did she turn a blind eye to what Christie believes in, or the morals of his party? Did she not hear of the Koch luncheon where he outlined his plans to hurt the people of New Jersey for the super rich? Or is she afraid of Chrstie?

Her statement calls into question her crediblilty or attention span, IMHO.
