I have it on good authority that personal attacks are a great way to sell people on your argument :p

I gave you a thoroughly documented adult argument. You dismissed it with asshole juvenile snark. You are a juvenile asshole, a snarky lightweight who has proven himself unworthy of respect. Go whine about the lack of respect afforded your lightweight, dismissive trolling elsewhere, dear.

There's a huge fucking difference between the president of the United States taking a vacation and having to carry dozens of people with him and a "fiscal conservative" governor who wants to cut costs everywhere but wants to go see his kid's baseball game and then fly back to see fund raisers.

The fact you can't distinguish between the two is only par for the course for faux "conservatives".

More "do as I say, not as I do" from conservatives. From Reagan's "fiscal conservative" cut tax/debt bullshit, to GW's cut tax/debt bullshit to the toe-tapping guy in the MSP airport to the numerous gay scandals. It's all the same, bob allen, mark foley, ted haggard, Newt, Trump, Palin's "family values" and fiscal conservatism while almost driving Wasila to BK. But that's OK, keep excusing it.
Yes, that difference is in scale; hundreds are involved whenever Obama travels, versus one helicopter for Christi. But please do keep up your knee jerk insistence that conservatives must travel by horse-drawn buggy for political purity whilst progressives are morally free to travel in caravans of limousines and fleets of aircraft as they dispense their CAGW dogma with nary a trace of hypocrisy, because political Tourette's is SO amusing for the rest of us.

One of the truly amusing things about moonbat progressives is their belief that they are actually thinking, when in actuality you guys take the "obvious" (i.e. party-approved) position and bullshit your way backwards from there. Here's a hint: if you believe that one party has everything right and one party has everything wrong, you aren't thinking. You are simply feeling, based on that little lizard brain's instincts.

I'm not from NJ so whatever he does isn't my problem. If he were a national figure that would be a different story dear.

What an entirely ignorant and clueless statement on your part. Here, I'll cater to your ADD with just one quote, you poor dear.

Run, Chris, run!


A group of influential Iowa Republican activists dined with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in Princeton last night in a bid to get him to run for president.
The unusual trip by Iowa leaders to the Garden State to draft Christie is a sign of growing displeasure with the current crop of Republican candidates stepping forward to take on President Obama in 2012, GOP officials said.


"There isn't anyone like Chris Christie on the national scene for Republicans," Iowa energy baron Bruce Rastetter said in launching his personal "Iowans for Christie" campaign.
Besides, walls of OT text in the middle of a thread hardly get attention........ever. Well at least not the attention the wall of TO text poster will be looking for.

So sorry. I assumed I was dealing with a fully functioning adult. For future reference, please tell me your ADD comprehension limit. 100 words? 120 words? No more than 10 words and one pretty picture?

I hope to hell you don't vote. It's smugly shallow twerps like you who are the bane of our democracy, which relies on the "rational, informed citizen."

Yet here you are, trolling and drooling away, entirely unaware that Chris Christie IS a national political figure.

Pathetic.

I am sure after this you want to be taken seriously.

Christy is a NJ politician that has said many times is will not run for Pres so regardless of the media attention he receives, he is still just a local politician.

If/when he decides to run I and I am sure the rest of the nation will take a closer look at him. For now I will concentrate on those are running.

And dude, drop the name calling. Like I have said to others it makes you look childish and desperate.

You're the one who began this exchange with your 100% troll attack response:
And just like Harvey, he thinks walls of OT text are going to be read.
to my serious, sober, factually meaty and well-researched post on Christie's history of corruption, and now you want to lecture me on how to be taken seriously??

Piss off, troll.

It's going to be quite amusing watching you break down even further when Obama isn't re-elected. You can barely finish a post without spouting swears and insults.

Sir. I am really interested in those that you'd support for 2012.

Just a few names that you'd be proud to say FNE is behind this person.

I know Condoleezza Rice has been bandied about for some time..

NEW YORK (CNN) -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie announced Thursday he has reimbursed the state of New Jersey for the cost of using a state police helicopter to travel with his wife to his son's high school baseball game.

After initially refusing to reimburse the state, Christie has repaid $2,151 to cover the cost of his flights to the game, Christie said in a news conference.

Christie claimed he was using the helicopter to balance his responsibilities as a father with his busy schedule as governor.

"I'm governor 24/7, every single day, but I'm also a father," he said.

Christie, who has taken 33 helicopter flights since assuming office last January, said he has been far more "judicious" in his helicopter use than other recent governors, citing Govs. Jim McGreevey, Thomas Kean and James Florio.

"If you look at the way I use this helicopter, it's not like I'm using it as a perk of office," he said.

The Republican budget hawk added that according to the State Police, the travel does not cost taxpayers money, because as the pilots need the flying time in order to be certified.

Two that quickly come to mind, but won't run..

Scott Walker - Gov WI
Paul Ryan - WI Rep
I agree, and I'd add Rice, Cain, Johnson, Christi, and Romney to that list, with perhaps more to be named later. However my history with the GOP nominating people for whom I'll vote is not good, so I'm assuming I'll be voting Libertarian again in the general. (Not that I'll agree much more with their candidate, but at least a Libertarian vote does no harm, and supporting freedom and true Constitutionally limited government is always a safe bet.)

By Rice I assume you mean Condi. I'd hit that like the mailman hits Red Dawn's mom.

:D

I don't actually find her that attractive. I do find her to be incredibly smart, knowledgeable about the world, and tough and principled enough to defend America and our interests.

That photo!!!
That's one big ass...
And he has a huge rear end too.

iOwan republicans went to NJ to court him into running.
But only after iOwan republicans first failed to coax a sewer rat out of its hole
to run. Actually iOwan republicans tried to coax several barn yard animals
before deciding to fly to NJ. They wanted, and tried to coax Ronald Reagan before they realized they were dealing with a corpse. iOwan republicans figured something was up
when Ronnie just sat there and refused to co operate. Then his arm fell off.
Only in iOwa..... And NJ.

Which makes her HAWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :whiste:
In a way, yes. Sort of like Oprah's hot because she's Oprah. Don't get me wrong, if I were single and the opportunity arose I'd do her, not because I find her physically attractive but because I find her interesting.

One thing about getting older, you learn that there's a lot more attractive than interesting.

I didn't say anything about the truth of your argument.

I did not, in fact, vote for Christie and I agree with what you wrote.

you're just channeling Bush-era Harvey hardcore in this thread, right down to the personal insults.
