'OH I SURE DO': Romney Thinks Christie Is Telling The TRUTH



Hmm,...should I believe Romney?....hmmmm,.....thats a difficult choice...... ....thats better!

Here comes Mitten's kiss of death....







Mitt Romney on Wednesday said that he believes New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) when he says that he did not know and was not involved with the closure of lanes on the George Washington Bridge last year.

"Oh, I sure do," Romney said on CNN's "The Situation Room" when anchor Wolf Blitzer asked if he thought the governor was telling the truth. "Chris is a friend of mine. Chris is a straightforward guy. When he tells you something, you can count on it."


Romney also hinted that Christie still has a chance to become the GOP presidential nominee in 2016.


"I'm counting on Chris and believe that he, if he decides to get into national politics, he'll do very well indeed," he said.

He apparently did an extensive vetting of Christie and his people concluded that Chris couldn't survive a Republican Primary.

Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney decided he could not pick Gov. Chris Christie as his running mate last year in part because the governor’s background was "littered with potential land mines," according to a new book.

by claiming that Jeep was moving its production to China. When Romney was caught in his lie, he stood by it, and even repeated it in ads that ran all through Ohio during the 2012 campaign. Romney made his own jobs numbers, claimed the president took Detroit to bankruptcy, claimed Obama raised taxes on the middle class, and flat out made things up during the first half of just one presidential debate.

Mitt Romney is a compulsive liar, who seems to lie just to lie. Yet, he told CNN that he thinks Chris Christie is telling the truth. Apparently, Mitt didn’t see Christie’s 2 hour press conference. All the governor did was duck, dodge, weave, and avoid facts. I guess in Romney’s mind that passes for flat out truth telling.

When Mitt Romney is your character witness, you’ve got a lot of problems.

Compulsive liar Mitt Romney singing the virtues of his honesty was probably the last thing that Chris Christie needed.

Chris Christie is telling the truth alright, and Jeep is moving to China.
