With Mitt Romney’s campaign in tatters and with Paul Ryan showing himself to be little more than a lying little twit unwilling to defend his own policies, here is the next guy whose supposed to represent the best and brightest hope for Republicans in 2016 and beyond.
On ABC News’s This Week this morning, host George Stephanopoulos played an Obama campaign ad where the President says that Romney believes in “even bigger tax cuts for the wealthy.” New Jersey Governor and Romney surrogate Chris Christie (R) responded by falsely accusing President Obama of lying:
CHRISTIE: Stop lying Mr. President.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Lying?
CHRISTIE: Yeah . . . Gov. Romney’s not talking about more tax cuts for the wealthy. In fact, what he said is that the wealthy will pay just as much under a Romney administration as they pay today.
Is there a single Republican out there who does not come across as an imbecile? And is there no lie too big or too blatant for these jokers to spout at every opportunity? Romney’s plan is for an across-the-board 20 percent cut in marginal tax rates and studies have shown that no matter how many loopholes he closes in the tax code, it is mathematically impossible to make his tax cuts revenue neutral. Christie knows this and he knows that the informed know this but it doesn’t stop him from going on national television and calling the President a liar for stating the truth.
Stick an apple in this pig’s mouth and call him done.
Yes, Thursday morning it will be a new ballgame (as Christie said on MTP)…polls will shift, but not in the way he thinks. Does anyone get the impression they drew straws for “Surrogate of the Week” and Christie LOST?
After all, he spent most of his time at the Convention tooting his own horn in prep for 2016.
New polls just out are even worse (for Mittens) than they were before.
I feel mean because I want to see him humiliated, not just defeated. I never felt that about McCain. I suppose it’s his arrogance and disdain for the little people.
Christie is a bully – it is who and what he is. For people, like Republicans, who constantly need to be told what to do and who to vote for and what to think – he serves a discernible purpose. Keep them all in line.
To all others, who understand that Christie is just one of many “public servants” (paid for by the public to SERVE his constituents), his arrogance is irritating and a turn off. Especially when one sees those he has mistreated in front of TV cameras.
The evidence is there for all to see – the GOP, lacking a platform that is palatable to the majority of Americans, must resort to their old bag of tricks – LIE, LIE, CHEAT, LIE, MISINFORM, CHEAT and LIE again.
For the most part Americans are getting too smart for those tactics of deception !
I am mystified by the repubs and their confidence in Christie. I just don’t see his appeal outside of the Jersey shore. OK, so they like politicians who never hesitate to lash out in rude displays in his state (they elected the guy), but on a national stage he is NOT ready for prime time. I think he never will be. Most of the nation abhors his brand of bully politics, shouting down the competition and arrogantly declaring his every point.
I go on the record today as stating he will go nowhere nationally.
The rupublicans are so out of touch with normal people ( not tea partiers). Ann thinks that if she just yells “we love you women” that covers the women’s vote. Romney and Ryan think that just saying they have a plan is all we need to hear (” trust me’) that will cover it. We know what they are up to and most of us won’t stand for it.
If they try to sell this extremely rude NJ govener to the whole of the American people they will find out how out of touch they are.
Dinamic – just saw your link – the GOP are SICK ! –
We can’t have ANYONE with such a collective hateful, deceitful, disposition to lie, anywhere NEAR our government – this pox on America must be voted out with extreme prejudice !
Carol, tomorrow has arrived with the GREAT news that unemployment is down to 7.8%. Great News for the President, not so good for Romney, he’ll have to think up news lies for the next debate – lol !
Last night I wrote a “nasty” letter to POTUS in a word doc, then slept like a baby.
This morning I deleted it and I’m BACK…ready to make my 100 calls/day to Ohio voters!
We’re going to keep moving FORWARD, dammit…and Mitt’s LIES will come back to bite him in the ___.
He’s going to need a mighty big bubble.
Tell Christie to close the front door. Tell Romney to shut the door on his way out
Obama/Biden in 2012
I guess they really DO make gasbags that big!

My previous words don’t taste so good.
Who knew Christie would be prophetic?
