Umm, no. No Christie porn. Please just no.
Glees Mock…totally awesome.
Thanks for the warm fuzzies to start my day
Maybe you should e-mail him your photo so he could show his wife!
I am man-crushing on this guy.
He’s awesome. That is all.
Sorry but this ridiculous idol worship.
Actually, it’s just good fun. I thought that chick was hilarious, and that his reaction was the perfect combo of humility and humor.
Mock: His reaction was good, but I worry that the right in this country is no different than the left with the blatant idol worship of Christie. It is ridiculous since the only thing they know about him is his stance on unions. That’s it. His rating on the border issues by Numbers USA is very low as well.
What is this country’s problem? Why do we fall for the celebrity worship anyway?
Good quesiton Laurel. Why do people love Sarah Palin so much? i don’t get that love affair either.
Rosie: I can justify Sarah Palin before I can Christie. At least I know where she stands on more issues than Christie.
A better question, that may also requited self examination, is why do people hate her so?
I think it’s her celebrity status that turns people off so much. Too much like the Obama-celebrity thing we all seem to agree was not good.
Rosie: That is possible but not probable. We loved Reagan’s celebrity status, and have actually made that even greater since his death. He has reached legend status now.
I personally think that there is a little elitist that resides in most people just waiting to get out. SP is homespun and that irks the hell out of people. Plus she doesn’t look homespun. Somehow if she looked like HC people would dismiss her instead they attack her.
I bet money if Christie were a big fat female doing and saying the exact same things as a woman it would be so over.
Right now I am open to my vote being won. I keep circling back to Cain and Daniels. Trump has his points, and I want him to run because if nothing else he will force people to bring their A game. Trump is a competitor that plays hard ball, but as to voting for him…let’s just say I have my doubts. He does change the dynamic of the race however, and forces some energy into it.
That’s interesting Laurel. It could be a combination of all of these little things that add up to one big “unelectable” result, you know? I can only speak from my personal point of view because I can’t see past her lack of experience.
I don’t think Christie has that polished, elite-ishness that Obama has either. He seems very down to earth to me, which I think is what his appeal is. Sarah is down to earth too. So why does it work for one and not the other? They are both outspoken and say what they think. They are/were both governors, and at this point in time, with about the same number of months of experience.
The differences are that Christie hasn’t written any books about himself, isn’t a commentator on FOX, doesn’t have a reality show, doesn’t have kids on Dancing with the Stars … I’m just saying, maybe she’s shot herself in the foot with some of the choices she’s made. She doesn’t exactly exude humility, which is something I think Reagan had, despite his celebrity. Christie, while confident with his decisions and the things he says, is much more humble, as proven by his belief that he doesn’t think he’s ready to be president, yet he has practically the same resume as Sarah Palin.
And really, to be honest, it’s not the fact that she’s homespun that turns me off. I don’t like the self-centeredness of Obama writing his memoirs at his age any more than I like Sarah Palin — or worse yet, her daughter! — doing the same. It’s such a turn-off to me. And yes, Newt and the rest of those guys writing books about themselves fall into that category for me too.
Rosie said “it’s not the fact that she’s homespun that turns me off. I don’t like the self-centeredness of Obama writing his memoirs at his age any more than I like Sarah Palin — or worse yet, her daughter! — doing the same. It’s such a turn-off to me.”
Ah, but there is a difference. When Sarah wrote Going Rogue she had actually a story to tell. Like…growing up in middle class America and having expectations of her behavior. Like having to put herself through school. Like having to be self reliant. THEN…after she accomplished that, her entrance into politics…without having some big name “sponsor” her come out. Her having to work her way up the ranks of the political ladder. Her taking on big oil and actually accomplishing something.
You also need to look at WHY she wrote it. Had she been given even a MINUSCULE of fair press by the lame street media, I’m guessing she wouldn’t have written it. But they STILL persist on blaming everything from shootings in AZ to the price of tea in China on her. How exactly was she supposed to counter all that? Seriously.
And here is where I part company with the “Republican” party. She is damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t…and that’s by her own party. By the lame street media, she’s just damned.
So, really to compare Sarah and her autobiography with Obama really is comparing apples and oranges.
On Christie…when he takes a conservative stance on immigration, he might pull me onboard. While I like most of what he says, he HAS to take a strong stance on immigration. So far…NADA.
I’m curious…have you read Going Rogue? I did. First time I have EVER read an autobiography and it explained a WHOLE lot.
No, I didn’t read it Carolyn. So maybe it’s unfair of me to have this opinion of her, and I appreciate that there are people out there who have read her autobiography and gotten to know her a little better that way. However, the reality is, I am not alone. Let’s be real if we think everyone will read her autobiography before they cast their vote in 2012. I know it’s not fair, but people will vote in 2012 based on what they know about her regardless of whether it’s true or hearsay or MSM-spinned. They will know that her daughter was on Dancing with the Stars and that she had a reality show, none of which I think helps her in any way, and these are things she or her family decided on their own. I watched her reality show a few times, and it didn’t help change my mind about her at all.
You know — I don’t exactly know what it is about her, but besides the things I already mentioned, I don’t think she’s good on her feet in interviews, I don’t think she’s really well-spoken or formulates her thoughts well when put on the spot. I just don’t think she handles herself all that well when she’s unscripted.
And her taking on the big oil companies — that’s why I think she’d rock on the energy front on a federal level. It’s the big thing she accomplished. It’s what she knows.
As far as Christie — couldn’t agree more. He hasn’t taken much of a stance on a lot of stuff because he’s still busy taking on what matters in NJ right now, which is getting our property taxes back under control and getting our budget back in order. He’s nowhere near ready to run, as he keeps saying over and over again. I think he’s a smart enough man to know that if he decides to run in 2016, he will have had to demonstrate and/or make his stance known by then on issues outside of NJ, but for now, he’s busy being governor of NJ, and I think he’s methodically taking each issue one at a time, just as Mitch Daniels has been doing in Indiana.
There was an interesting article on American Spectator (yesterday, I think) about how the GOP’s tendency to nominate the previous election’s runner-up needs to be avoided if they want any chance of winning the White House in 2012.
Rosie, I don’t expect for people to read her autobiography and suddenly see the light. I expect for people who have seen what the media has done to her and have a preconceived notion because of that to read it and think…OK, I get it now.
I too watched the reality show. And I guess I had a different take. It was neither good nor bad unless you are looking for reasons to consider Alaska a destination (for whatever reason). There was very little “life with the Palins” in the episodes that I saw but rather someone sharing their love of their state. So again, I think it’s having preconceived notions going into watching the show. Did you SEE the “reality” show aspect? I guess the only episode I did was the Kate Gosslin one and IMO that debacle was all on Kate. How stupid can you be to not like the outdoors and take 8 kids to not just the outdoors but the rugged outdoors and be shocked…*SHOCKED I TELL YOU* at being…well, outdoors. Wet. Bugs. HORRORS.
/end snark
Bristol is her daughter and she’s not running for office. She had a tough couple years and is trying to figure herself out. While in the lime light. I guess I see a degree of hypocrisy from hearing that some politicians “get” the opportunity to compartmentalize their short comings because they have the ability to do a job (so…Newt/Giuliani/Clinton/Boehners’s extra curricular activities that are NOT part of the job) but here we get to judge Sarah Palin NOT on completely on what SHE does but on what her KID does. She can’t do the job because her kid is on Dancing with the Stars? Sorry but to me that smacks of hypocrisy.
Again, I think that all the media has to do is plant an idea that one candidate is “unelectable” and next thing we know, they’re out of the running. I refuse to give the media that kind of power. But I think most people will.
Ironically, I absolutely loved her when she first splashed onto the scene as McCain’s running mate, despite Tina Fey’s and the MSM’s attempt to convince me that she was stupid. I sure didn’t think so. But she just hasn’t done anything of late that impresses me, and her short time as a governor just isn’t enough experience to be running for POS, in my opinion.
But I do understand what you’re saying about the hypocrisy. Perhaps if she had enough of a resume and list of accomplishments and came across more knowledgeable in interviews, her daughter’s actions or her reality show wouldn’t be much of an issue. It’s always a package deal with all these candidates — they just have to hope the substantial stuff they’ve done far outweighs any negatives. If that’s not happening with Sarah, then maybe she just doesn’t have enough substance. Food for thought.
I’m not saying I’m right about this — I’m arguing how I FEEL about her. That’s how I feel, and nothing she’s done of late has changed my mind.You know, two days before the election in NJ, Christie was down by I don’t know how many points (substantial) and had already been deemed “unelectable” by our left-leaning newspapers. No matter how hard they tried to convince NJ otherwise, he got elected. I think he was able to overcome the negative media spin because of who he is and how he presents himself. Sarah just can’t seem to get past the spin.
Christie and porn…eeessch, not an image to start the weekend by.
Christie will never take a hard stand against illegal immigration as they are pouring into New Jersey by the thousands each year, and Hispanics represent the state’s largest minority group many of whom are registered and organized… For the time being he doesn’t have a choice….Very difficult to be a true social republican in the north east…that’s why they are a vanishing breed in national party leadership. They (we) are not given a chance to evolve our…unique and valuable experience to the next level by developing of a broader conservative philosophical calculus (“Social Truce” would be an earnest example of this). No, instead we just get cut off at the knees– “oh soft on immigration”, “soft on abortion-next!” ….a shame, besides not necessarily being true, it’s and not smart if want to win elections, and to indignantly declare “I don’t care about wining election where my core values are concerned!”…is fool hearty when SUPREME COURT JUSTICES hang in the balance–lol….If he gets re-elected, watch how Obama flips this court over the next 6 years and then see how sacrosanct you feel.
No worry though, Conservatives are going to learn the hard way, because Bo IS going to get re-elected and that will be their lesson; that a viable political party in any republic MUST be flexible. Remember Clinton’s great admonishment directed at progressives when he unseated old man Bush: “Hold your nose at the polls” while pulling the right lever. And they did and progressives are remembering this now, because not only do they want a reelection, but they want the 20 year political re-alignment that they think is owed to them by changing demographics and the fact the republicans had one until W dropped the ball. That’s what’s at stake, A 20 year run on the executive branch sidelines, it’s simple; the American people are in the center, and the extremes have no business ( and I know it feels powerful to do so) grand standing a litmus test unilaterally across the entire scope of party to determine it’s leadership. This is true for any party
On Palin, how quickly they forget the crowds, money and excitement she generated during the mid terms. In spite of getting embarrassed in her home state by being out witted by a write in, it’s still hard to separate the Tea Party November sweep of congress from her, and I still maintain, if she decides to run, and I will lose respect for her if she doesn’t, she can take the nomination. Do not forget the Republican national convention in 08-her entrance on to the national scene was electric, she has legitimate star power and gives a great speech, it’s when she is off the podium she has problems. The hard, technical stuff she can do, like running a state, it’s the easy BS stuff she struggles with, like giving freaking interviews, however mind boggling that is, it does not delete her winning record in Alaska as an effective administrator, just like Daniels. She’s NO Dan Quayle, no question there is a lot of anti female stuff–a form of female rac– no, too strong….prejudice!, fear and maybe some good ole crabs-in-the- barrel hating going on around her. If Palin get’s in she should play the gender card because is should be addressed- besides, as a tactic, it worked effectively for Hilary in 08.
Trump is entertaining running because he knows, for the time being, there is no one out there and he wants great influence in the party. Trump I think would love to be the next chair.
I actually think that insufferable megalomaniac (a fair synonym for presidential candidate) may get in.
Long winded, sorry…call it a north east republican’s lament.
Crispus: “it’s simple; the American people are in the center, and the extremes have no business ( and I know it feels powerful to do so) grand standing a litmus test unilaterally across the entire scope of party to determine it’s leadership. This is true for any party.”
I think you’re correct. I don’t define myself as conservative or republican, but if I have to align with either party, then I’ll go with the one which at least says it’s fiscally responsible and wants less government, which is why I’m here and not over at HuffPo. When I see people calling viable candidates RINOs because of one single thing they did that didn’t toe the conservative line, I think those people are as out of touch with the majority of Americans as the hard left-wingers are.
I haven’t forgotten Sarah’s crowds or her ability to raise money, nor have I forgotten BO’s ability to do the same or the “electricity” generated when his momentum got going. Or the fact that he could deliver a great speech to a crowd but stutters his way through an interview when he doesn’t have his telepromter. And I don’t know how you can compare <2 yrs. of being governor (much of which was spent on the campaign trail) to Mitch Daniels' years of accomplishments as governor.
Crowds, money, excitement, star power, electricity …. your words to describe Sarah Palin, but how well that describes our current inept, inexperienced president. Both of them would make hellavugood campaign managers though, I'll give you that.
Ah…now isn’t THIS interesting; timely AND so apropos :
She’s becoming Al Sharpton, Alaska
Look at who is taking shots at her. Look at WHO is controlling the narrative.
Tell me that Will, Krauthammer, et al DON’T have their own agenda. I find this statement VERY telling:
“When populism becomes purely anti-intellectual, it can become unhealthy and destructive,” said Krauthammer.”
I see people are still ceding their own personal power to the media. In that case no matter who runs we are guaranteed to still have BO.
As to CK, I like the guy but he is not infallible. He flatly stated BO would govern from the middle. I have as yet to see that.
As to moderates, you split the baby in half. Call Christie a NE moderate Republican all you want but let the record show those are the losers. As to the border, there is no room for moderation. Seal the damn thing!
Carolyn, you do a wonderful job of putting my feelings and ideas on these topics into words. I am no nearly as good with words are you, but my candidate is Sarah Palin. But on election day the choice for every single voter is going to be Obama (assuming nothing changes) and the Republican nominee. And too often, on this site especially, I hear people ceding their support according to the current MSM talking points. So far Palin has drawn the majority of their attacks, but everyone needs to understand that if she choses not to run or if she goes down early in the primaries, the attacks will escalate on who ever is left in the race. And the left is NOT going to play nice…they will spin, exaggerate, use push polling and flat out lie about ANYONE to keep Obama in office. So we need do our part and let them know RIGHT NOW, that we are not going to stay home this time. Not even if they should succeed in getting another McCain on the top of the ticket, because if you think Obama has been bad for the country so far, just wait and see the devastation he will rain down if he is given four years without re-election hanging over his head!
Christie is too Left on illegal aliens and The Second Amendment, unfortunately. I’d be happy to make him a budget chief or negotiator of some kind, though.
Palin is too polarizing now to be elected President, imo. Plus, I simply don’t think she’s Presidential material. I’m mostly pro-Palin overall, but not for President.
Krauthammer, while generally on target, made me wary when he said we don’t need to worry about what goes on at Bilderberg meetings.
If anyone hasn’t watched Herman Cain’s CPAC speech yet, go check it out on Youtube. “Stupid people are ruining America.” Ahahaha. He’s considering an election run, and he gives good speeches, but his views on specific issues hasn’t been easy to find so far.
