Christie backs Romney for President

[JSt0rm]

Vote Cain/Perry in the primary, weaken the GOP chances? You are a devious one.

() I would never

 

[senseamp]

He's the only serious candidate. Plus he's a RINO, which is nice. He'll implement liberal policies, but GOP will get the blame if things don't work out. Win win situation

 

[spidey07]

and what you will you do when Romney gets the GOP nod?

I'll donate to him and go door to door to encourage folks to vote anybody but Obama. you have no idea how motivated Americans are to get rid of this president.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Also, you said that Perry would be the next President. Changed your mind already? :awe:

That would be one of Spidey's stupid bets I would actually take him up on. I just don't believe Perry can be President.

 

[spidey07]

yes. hate. it flows.

Yes. It is the emotion that our country has for this president. Along with anger these are the most powerful emotions that makes one act.

See you in November.

and if Ron Paul gets the GOP nom?

\regardless of what I think of Mr. Paul, he's been the most constant in his political views...
\\and i love his wife and her amazing fish sticks....

 

[spidey07]

Actually it's not. Anger is.

 

[JEDIYoda]

Ron who?

 

[zinfamous]

Rino backing Rino. Fuck 'em both.

you wouldn't know a republican if you pulled one out of your ass.

 

[Ausm]

What's to think about?

IMO, it's a big benefit to Romney. He'll get use of Christie's organization in the NJ primary.

Well considering that my thought process originates from the left, I thought it would be interesting to see what Right Wingers thought about this.

I agree and Romney is possibly more liberal then Obama is which I find extremely hilarious.

This is true. I have major problems with some of Ron Paul's positions, but I have to give him credit for consistency and principle.

When that starts to make him attractive as a candidate I just think of Kucinich and Krugman and I get over it.

Chris Christie just cut the legs out from under the Tea Party and their queen, Palin. That hive will start swarming.

I didn't realize that she was in this race or that there was named Tea Party candidate either. Kinda makes your comments irrelevant, but what else is new.

Romney probably gets the GOP nomination. Christie just makes it easier for some others to swallow.

Because Palin thinks she is a queen maker in the GOP. She said so in her exit interview. The "title" of President wasen't big enough. Right now the Tea Party has the most influence in the GOP. She wanted her endorsement to carry the most weight and Christie stepped all over it.

I'm predicting she will cause trouble by either endorsing or threating to endorse someone else to stir up trouble and shift more attention to her.

Wanna prove that ridiculous statement?

Whoever she endorses is going to lose. Probably it will be Backman, and who gives a shit. The two can go start a sewing circle for all I care. Both are fucking idiots. Her endorsement means nothing at this point except to foaming at the mouth conservative women who already love Bachman just because she is a woman. Some similarities to last election here.

+1.

A politician's endorsement is his most valuable asset, and Christie's may be the most valuable one in the GOP. Him giving it out so early is huge news. I'm a bit surprised he endorsed so early, but clearly Christie sees the handwriting on the wall-Romney is the inevitable nominee.

To me the real question is whether the GOP/teabagger rank in file will follow their GOP obligation to "get in line" once the nomination is sealed. The GOP's main strength (by far) is it's consistent functioning as a monolithic block. The Paulbots excluded of course, I assume they will go back to whining in their basements when their guy ends up in the single digits-again.

 

[KGB]

Oh I'm working alright. Doing much more than this board does in terms of activism and donations and talking to my co-workers, friends and neighbors. Not a day goes by in my office where we don't discuss politics and what we must do, and we act on it.

Keep talking liberal, see you in November. Hell, just today I made sure some friends, family and co-workers were eligible to vote in the primary and if the weren't then they need to do it now and spread the word.

You have no idea just how motivated my cubicle is to get rid of Obama.

Yeah...

Of course the Tea Partiers will follow along. Did all the Hilary supporters vote for McCain last time around? Don't try to act like the GOP is the only monolithic block here. Also, far more strength comes from the anti-Obama mentality rather than the pro-tea, pro-paul, pro anything mentality.

He has a point though. Obama, Reid and Pelosi have united Republicans like never before. Besides that, Republicans only have two major groups, fiscal conservatives and social conservatives, with a (relatively) minor social freedom libertarian types (Paulbots if you will) group thrown in. Compare that to Democrats who have gays, blacks, Hispanics, union workers, public union workers, unskilled workers, professionals, government employees, professional students, the professionally unemployed class, hard-core Marxists, even their own libertarians - it's literally a party of special interests thrown together largely because of a common need for political power. Compared to Republican unity, achieving Democrat unity is herding cats, with each cat having its own direction to which it will cling.

He also has a point about Christie declaring this early. Usually a politician with Christie's current star power waits to make sure he picks a winner, and just as importantly someone who can and will reciprocate the political favor. Just points to how unusual a politician is Christie.

I thought Palin said she wasn't running and was going to focus on her modeling career.

lol. he is the Right's version of Kucinich. I like that guy too, but his craziness turns me off.
