I seldom watch "Meet The Press" anymore after determining they had become completely "left" after the old moderator passed away.
I never dreamed that Chris Christie would deliberately go on the show and attempt to assassinate Newt Gingrich's chances of becoming the next President along with the "Lefty" Mike Murphy. But he did, and it's obviously because Newt Gingrich got better figures that Mitt Romney in the Republican S.C. Primary. Why did Christie do this? Because Chris, as the newly elected Governor of New Jersey had made the political blunder of endorsing Mitt Romney before hand with the thought in mind that Mitt Romney could do more for him personally than Newt Gingrich would, should Romney become President. They had plans! But Christie's attitude and attack on Gingrich was totally selfish in the respect that he did it without concern for the future, overall health of the Republican Party in the upcoming election. Christie, in pursuit of his personal interests, threw caution to the wind.
Christie is a hypocrite in the regard that he is known as a man who says what he thinks and means what he says. Yet he pointed that out as a major fault in Newt Gingrich. Unbelievable!!
Before Chris Christie became Governor, he obtained a law degree from Seton Hall in Delaware. Being Pro Choice, he was considered a "Moderate" Republican and was active in the Republican party.
Is there something wrong with that picture??
Not only is he Pro-choice, he is also Pro-Gay and he demonstrated that in his selection of an openly Gay judge to the New Jersey Supreme Court. Appointing someone to the highest Court in the State is not the brightest selection to make when that person has a twisted way of making a bad decision like he did to be Gay! A stinky idea to say the least!
He is not a Tea Party favorite and along with Karl Rove of Fox News, does not agree with the Tea Party movement. He's a Republican "Insider" and has only been in one political campaign prior to becoming the Governor of New Jersey. He lost so miserably in that election that no one would claim to knowing him, so to speak. With Karl Rove's recommendation to George W. Bush, he was appointed to U.S. Attorney for the State of New Jersey, having little or no prior Prosecutorial experience. Obviously a purely political favor for Karl Rove who was President Bush's Chief Political Adviser.
None the less he did well while holding that job. Aside from that he was hired as a lobbyist to the Energy Industry for George Bush's Election campaign. I wouldn't talk to loud about that work.
You see, I heard Romney, in his own haste to think he would most likely be the next President, was going to chose Chris Christie as his Vice Presidential running mate. Christie, in his drunkenness of newly acquired power, endorsed Romney on that Pretense.
In fact, I think the Republican Insiders like Karl Rove and Charles Krauthammer thought the same way, but to their astonishment, Newt was forgiven by the religious Right and came out on top because of his honesty concerning the past. I say, rightfully so!
Mitt Romney, although I think is also a very capable man in defeating the "Left" establishment, made the mistake of firing the first negative shot. I think he was ill advised by Chris Christie in doing so. Chris Christie would serve the Conservatives much better by keeping his newcomer mouth shut.
It was a bad move on Romney's part. He gambled and lost. It's a pity that Religious differences need to be dragged into this fray. We already have a badly shattered G.O.P. Don't shatter it anymore.
One thing I can say concerning the Democratic Party, as deceitful and insincere as they may be, they still stick together like cow excrement to the screen door. So far it works for them as bad as it smells. Chris Christie's behavior this morning stinks very much like that. His behavior this morning has certainly made me take a second look at his ability or sincerity in aiding the G.O.P.
What's the big panic anyway? The race has only just started. Is Chris Christie going to be the loose cannon in the bunch? Just sayin'.
