Did Jabba the Christie commit political suicide last night?

So the "home team", the NY Giants are playing the Dallas Cowpies, and where's our favorite KKKoch Brothers puppet sitting?

In the luxury box of Cowpies owner Jerry Jones, the most hated man in the NFL.

And yeah, that's GOP frontman (and fellow KKKoch stooge) Reince Priebus sitting behind them.

Now me, I hate the Cowpies just as a matter of principle. But if I was a governor of New Jersey (where the Giants actually play) or New York (where they claim to be from) I wouldn't be caught dead with "the enemy".

Always seeking the big money.....

Later on he was all drooly and stuff and like *gulp* "MMMmMmmphmmmmmphmmnnmmmm.....mssajones....mmmf.... ."*slurp drool*

[Zing!]

The sad thing is, there are no shortage of voters who would actually let who sat by whom at an NFL game sway their decision at the voting booth, rather than... Oh, I don't know...important Issues and policy.

[Hardrock69]

True dat. Rationality be gol-darneded.

Christie sitting in an opposing team owners box won't make much of a difference.

What Christie needs to counter (if he even wants to run in 2016, and that's by no means certain) is this odd mentality creeping through the hard right circles of the conservative party that believes since the party lost with two moderates (McCain and Romney) on the last two tickets, they should be looking at wingnuts like Cruz and Rand Paul for 2016: the belief that the party lost because their last two candidates weren't conservative enough.

The party just doesn't get it.

[Hardrock69]

Lol. It is called "Stupidity".

So if they try to win with some neo-con ass clown in 2016, they are going to be so humiliated in their defeat, their only alternative would be to disband. :hee:

Thing is there's nothing "moderate" about Christie. Just because he talked to Obama like a sane human being after his state was ravaged by one of the worst hurricanes in history (rather than demanding to see his birth certificate or whatever) doesn't negate his complete devotion to the KKKoch Brothers agenda. Christie's no different than Scotty Walker, or that fuckwit in Michigan, he just has better publicity.

The KKKoch/ALEC wing of the Republican party only appears different from the teabagging wing because they couldn't care less about gays getting married, and aren't all that concerned about overturning Obamacare because they probably own stock in the insurance companies that are about to gain 30 million new customers virtually overnight.

But of course when it comes down to basic economic policy, both wings of the party serve the same agenda.... more for the goddamned criminal 1%, at the expense of the rest of us.

Seriously, you guys want to talk about how evil one or the other party’s is/was/whatever? There isn’t a difference between the parties when you look at what went on under the previous administration and the current administration. Ummm, let’s see….

The Patriot Act – enacted under Republicans and President Ego signed The Patriot Sunshine Extension Act.

NSA looking at your internet information – started under Bush and President Ego said let’s expand it to other Governmental Agencies - drug guys look into the DEA is doing.

War – One word Afghanistan, isn’t that still going on? Other words - WMD's in Syria.

Debt - According to the Treasury, the Debt increased from January 23, 2001 to January 23, 2009, 5.7 trillion to 10.6 trillion. According to the Treasury, the Debt from January 23, 2009 to Sept. 8, 2013, 10.6 trillion to 16.73

Remember the Bush Tax Cuts President Ego resigned the Bush Tax Cuts. They expired but then President Ego signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act that reinstated many of the Bush tax cuts retroactively to when those cuts expired.

Bush attacks with drones and President Ego attacks with drones. Oh yes, they are used more and got expanded to places like Yemen, Pakistan, and Iran. Let’s not forget President Ego killed several US Citizen without an arrest, a trial….little things that just get in the way. Before anyone want to say well they were terrorist. Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was 16 and had NO ties to terrorism. He was attempting to look for his father. When asked about it the BIGGEST douchebag White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, stated that his death was justified, and that he "should have had a more responsible father."

Gitmo, Gitmo, Gitmo – still open for business 5+ years into President Egos Presidency.

There isn’t a difference except on items that keep people polarized so we keep fighting and they stay in power. You know topics like abortion and guns.

[Hardrock69]

That is because changing presidents does not equal changing governments. The players change, some of the policies never do.

[Kristy]

...they should be looking at wingnuts like Cruz and Rand Paul for 2016: the belief that the party lost because their last two candidates weren't conservative enough.

Never will happen. Cruz is far too mentally unstable to withstand any criticism and Paul thinks he is an intelligent mouthpiece for the GOP by walking the line between Libertardian/teafagger rhetoric. The GOP will most likely find a older candidate playing the same old card they do every election.

You mean like McCain fucking crowing how he wanted to invade Iran? Or Gore would have invaded Iraq? Yeah, um, no, that's not true. I think many of Obama's policies suck and he's sold out. But at the same time, you're letting those do nothing cuntbags in Congress completely off the hook in blind hatred and blame-casting on the President...
