    Remember when there was a whole thing about congress being able to constitutionally pass laws and rules not only to reduce actual instances of provable corruption but the appearance of corruption

    Sigh

    So a recent poll still puts Christie ahead of the rest of the GOP field nationally for a presidential run. He's got 15% vs. Jeb and Rand's 14%.

    This to me illustrates the weakness of the GOP field rather than any staying power Christie actually possesses, and when the grand jury starts its business properly I bet we'll see his chances decline sharply.

    Well its also a poll for presidential elections 2 years before those elections, isn't that right President Guiliani and President Hillary Clinton?

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    For fun, somebody should ask him his opinion on the Black House just to see if he'll eat his foot or not.

    Doubtful. Unless the Republican Media Machine decides to play it on television. Otherwise they'll just make vague mentions of it as an evil liberal conspiracy to throw all republicans in jail for such silly and ridiculous things as breaking the law.

    Now if it DOES get media play, the GOP base will start hating him all the more because he'll be opening his mouth. And not just hurling insults at "liberals."

    So, Christie publicly rejects pot legalization, saying that he doesn't want CO's "quality of life".

    So...many...jokes...

    The best defense is to demand people prove you're an asshole. I guess a mirror wouldn't work?

    That had to be a planted question...what kind of pathetic waste gets up to ask a politician for pointers in how to defend the governor?

    Honestly, aren't all of the questions at these town hall things planted questions? Certainly they are at least pre-screened.

    I find very little value in these sorts of town hall events.

  • PreacherPreacher Registered User regular
    Its the open secret that they are pre screened, but they are sold on "come and meet x and you might get to ask them a question!"

    Ugh, why has "wonk" become the goto designation for anybody that deals with budgets? I can never tell if it is supposed to be a positive or negative term.

    Because in america people who care about finances in the government are about as successful spreading their ideology as masturbating is to getting you sex.

    After Paul Ryan when I see it it means the media/political party wants said person to be seen as hot shit in their specialty, in reality they're awful at that task.
