BSABSVR: However he also unabashedly appoints Muslims to things

I love how not being a raging bigot is all it takes to pass for moderate these days.

sweetmelissa31: Oval office? More like oblate spheroidal office, right?

Too many sucrose encrusted toroids, if you as me.

I don't know if it passes for moderate, but not being a raging bigot sure seems to set off alarm bells among the Republican base.

Jackson Herring: Yeah, "fat", that's what he is.

If you aren't nice, he will push that wall right over.

tenpoundsofcheese: DeaH: he is not all that different than Obama (who is right-leaning center)?

.

0bama is right-leaning center?

Now that is funny.

Thanks for the laugh

Obama is to the right of Nixon on most things and to the right of Eisenhower on just about everything except gay rights which were not a public issue in the middle of the 20th Century. And, Obama's not all that liberal when it comes to gay rights, either. That you can pretend any differently says that you are one of the following:

A) Deluded about what the current Republican Party has become
B) Sadly misinformed about our country's history
C) A sucker who fell for the "most liberalest liberal to ever liberal ever" pap about Obama
D) Knowingly passing on misinformation
or
E) A combination of the above

Christie is a true man of the people because he can scream into the faces of mousy schoolmarm teachers.

Fark that fat piece of shiat. I'm surprised nobody has punched his farking lights out by now.

Jerk and the Fat Man

Just what we need; a soulless Wall Street sleazeball to throw people out of work, and a bloated bully to tell them to STFU if they don't like it.

That image totally calls to mind Laurel and Hardy. Oh please pick Christie, Mitt. Please please.

whitman00		2012-05-01 02:27:11 PM

Wow. A lot of anger about Christie. Let's review what I said and what it means in a rational fashion:

1) the guy demonized the teacher's union.
2) the guy yells at people who are yelling at him rather than placate them.
3) the guy appointed a well qualified Muslin to a state post and told the people who freaked out about it that he was tired of arguing with crazy.
4) the guy vetoed a gay marriage bill in NJ
5) the guy canceled a tunnel project that would cost, in his mind, too much NJ money.

I DO NOT agree with most of this. However, I am not a Republican in 2012. There is not one thing on that list with the exception of the Muslim appointee that would not appeal greatly to Republicans.

The GOP establishment also likes him a lot. He's charismatic, smart, a natural politician. He pleases moderates on most issues. He drives liberals crazy.

He's never going to get liberals to love him but that wasn't ever the argument. If he loses the weight, he has a great chance at winning the GOP nomination in 2016.

2012: Vote for Mitt Romney -- he's one of us!
2016: Vote for Chris Christie -- he's two of us!

Alternatively, Flopper/Gobbler 2012!

It's "Fake and the Fat Man" and I already have a copyright on it.

Except it'll be a fine mess they would get US into if they get elected.
