And they're even using a sneaky method to do it. First the problem as reported by that conservative rag Slate: The article goes on to point out the problem: Here's the sneaky part: Liberals may hope that these sorts of shenanigans will result in the Supreme Court stepping in on the whole...

It's not a big story or a huge scandal but IMO it's an indication of the contempt in which Chris Christie holds the electorate. Not only did he lie outrageously but then doubled down even though there is clear evidence of the lie. :mad: I guess this is the new normal thanks to the example set...

This is so messed up.

Democratic Senator (NJ) Menendez lost his attempt in the Court of Appeals to have charges of bribery and corruption dropped. For those not following, they were trying to hide behind Senatorial privilege, essentially denying the charges without offering any evidence and saying "... but it...

He's got Bridgegate. He's got Sandygate. Now he's got the Mayor of Jersey City saying all meetings with the Governor's office were cancelled within an hour of announcing he couldn't support Christy's reelection campaign, none of those meetings were rescheduled until a few weeks ago, and Jersey...

So, seems like our round mound of loud sound has gotten himself in some trouble. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/christie-aide-bridge-documents For the uninitiated, The George Washington Bridge was inexplicably closed down for four days after the mayor of Fort Lee declined to endorse...

Partisan Republicans are livid that Christie didn't just name a conservative Republican outright, which he could have done. Instead Christie called for a special election on Oct. 16 with a primary on Aug. 13 although he will appoint an interim senator to fill the seat until then (no word yet on...

In honor of him being on the Daily Show, he seemed to handle himself in a few traps and did okay, not good, but the best he could do. The few of you who read my posts and don't assign team politics know that I am an extreme economic liberal who has no home in the current Republican Party. I...

Chris Christie in hostile interaction on Jersey Shore No, he didn't slap Snooki. I didn't embed the video, you'll have to go to the link. I may be overweight, but I don't look like a Macy's Parade blimp. He looks like a walking heart attack or stroke. I wouldn't want him as VP; he might not...

The interview. Damn, the US really has interesting politicians sometimes, differing from the usual array of lawyers and businesspeople. Now if you could make Neil deGrasse Tyson your president...

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who recently appointed a gay man to the New Jersey Supreme court, has now come out in favor of a referendum on whether to legalize gay marriage. Although in the past, he vowed to veto gay marriage if passed, this would sort of take the issue out of his hands...

Except it turns out he only exposed himself. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/06/01/981069/-Chris-Christie-defends-using-state-helicopter-to-attend-sons-baseball-game?via=blog_589703 DDabCGkWVRA Now is this the same intrepid Son of a Galt who yelled at a teacher that she was too greedy and...

NJ Pro-Union protestors: "Gov. Chris Christie is a dictator who may shoot people!" "Christie is like Khadaffi...and turning into a dictator!" "We could be shot!" "Union Busters are terrorists!" Hl0uOhm_fek in case the above vid doesn't work, here's the direct link: Didn't they get the...

There are three big elections today that will inevitably be termed a referendum on Obama and the Democrats, although of course that's something of a stretch. The elections are for Virginia Governor, New Jersey Governor, and a special election for New York's 23rd congressional district. What...

In October, the New Jersey State Supreme Court issued a ruling that under the state constitution, all citizens, including the LGBT, are entitled to equal rights and protections under the law, including all of the rights and protections of marriage. They ordered the state legislature to amend the...

Oh yeah, and the Lotto machines will go dark as will two race tracks. Is this Corzine's leverage or is he a financial idiot? And all this in the middle of a flood disaster as well. The hell with these people. I am glad it gives him "no joy."
