BridgeGate

[777 fixer]

And yet, Barack was a state legislator & Senator for a state that is consistently in the top five for crime, highest murder rate, and can't seem to catch all the thugs committing the crimes. And from firsthand experience, the schools, roads, weather, and taxes suck far worse than they do in Louisiana.

 
Illinois does not consistently rank in the top five when it comes to crime nor does it have the highest murder rate.  That title belongs to Louisiana.  As far as schools go the facts point out rather clearly that Illinois schools are better than Louisiana schools.  Poverty rate is much higher too.  I'll give you roads, taxes and weather.  Which is probably little consolation if you dirt poor and have to send your kids to a crappy school.  Weather, I don't see how that relevant.
 
Who do think has more power to affect policy in a state?  A two term governor or a state senator?

We would be in our second term of President McCain if the electorate had not heard of Sarah Palin.

 
Not the electorate, the people who destroyed Palin were the leftist media.

Losers point fingers and blame others.

Yawn.

What's funny is that the media has focused more investigative effort during the last 48 hours on this than they have the IRS scandal or Benghazi combined.

And Christie has actually held people accountable, something that hasn't been done in either of the other two examples.

He also took an hour's worth of questions from the press about it yesterday, again, something that has yet to happen on the other two examples, healthcare.gov, Fast & Furious, etc...

It's nothing more than a convenient diversion from the ongoing failures of this Administration, like the dismal unemployment report that just came out yesterday, or Obamacare enrollment numbers & demographics which don't come anywhere near to supporting the program's economic business case, the stories about people being turned away from hospitals because the insurance companies have no record of supposedly-covered people actually having coverage...

...or maybe it's just an "easy" story for CNN et al to sell. Benghazi's a messy story from a faraway place. Traffic jams? Everyone can relate to that...
 
 

 

Why assume it's the Republicans setting up Christie, two years ahead of time no less?

Christie is definitely more of a threat to whoever was nominated by the Democrats. Especially independents on the east coast. The media is extra-empowered right now to shoot down anyone who might stand in the way of a three-peat.

If/when they knock off Christie, watch for them to square off on Scott Walker and Bobby Jindal next.

I don't see Paul Ryan on the ticket for anything other than his current job until 2018 (should he decide go after Tammy Baldwin's Senate seat) or possibly Governor, should Walker get elected to higher office.

I doubt Ryan runs for Governor of WI.

IMO, he much prefers chasing the glory that the D.C. stage provides...

IMO, where he can do more good for the "Country" vs. doing good, for just one state!

Maybe I'm not the only one who thinks Hillary could be behind Bridgegate?

Watch out the Black Helicopters are coming after you.
 
You people really are way out there.
 

 

[eolesen]

So, you're saying Hillary didn't make the cover of Time because of past practice?...

 

[700UW]

You will need to ask the Editor and Publisher of Time about that.

 

[eolesen]

You're the one saying it's all a conspiracy, not the editorial board of Time.

Are you sure about that?

I don't doubt President Obama's US citizenship as well as Ted Cruz.

"Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, when his parents were working in the Canadian oil business. His mother, Eleanor, was born in America, while his father, Rafael, is a Cuban who didn't become a U.S. citizen until 2005.

Under U.S. law, a child born to an American parent gets automatic citizenship even if the birthplace is beyond U.S. borders. Canada, like the United States, also gives automatic citizenship to anyone born on its soil."

They didnt question Cruz's citizenship, just his Constitutional ability to run for President. Arnold Swarzenager is a citizen, he can't run.

Maybe I just missed it but did anyone get killed during this say like Benghazi and Clintons lack of action?
