why is the republican party so in love with

[DesertFlower]

chris christie? he seems nasty.

[NightWatcher]

1. Fat, white, blowhard, ignoramus....He IS the average republican

[RKP5637]

2. +1000 +++ n/t

[SpiralHawk]

6. "Ouch. Shut up kid." - Krusty the Khristie (R)

[dtexdem]

9. Yeah, they're just in love with themselves.

And they just know that they are the only ones in society who count.

[marked50]

15. You anwered your own question-nt

[Rhiannon12866]

3. Probably because he seems relatively sane

Compared to the other extreme loonies they've got. :crazy:

[Siwsan]

4. I doubt he's up to the stress of the job.

He looks far from healthy, and can't seem walk and talk without sounding winded. One can only guess at his blood pressure reading. If he'd get the nomination, I'd pay way more attention to the running mate because I'd suspect the rethugs of using him to shoe horn someone else into the White House.

[DesertFlower]

5. i can't imagine him climbing up

the steps onto Air Force I. he'd probably have to be lifted.

[lunatica]

7. Because he's mean but hides behind being jovial and down to earth

[DesertFlower]

8. he was really nasty to a woman who

asked about him sending his kids to private school. told her "it was none of her business".

[lunatica]

10. I saw that. He told her what he did was none of her business on the air

[DesertFlower]

11. can you imagine him dealing with

foreign leaders?

[peace frog]

12. He's Donald Trump minus the rug

[spanone]

13. they are choosing their guy, they are NOT going to let that up to the teabaggers

[JoePhilly]

14. 1) He's not Romney, 2) He's not one of the other GOP candidates.

If he jumps in, after the initial BOOM, he will fall like Perry is doing.

[PA Democrat]

16. They are drawn to authoritarian personality types. n/t

[rustydog]

17. There you go, you nailed it. Koch Brothers love him and want him in 2016

[Johonny]

18. he voices the middle class anger

he simply picks the wrong target to direct it at. But unlike other candidates he does voice the anger.

[meow2u3]

19. Christie bears a striking resemblance to John Wayne Gacy

The only difference is that Christie gets away with his thuggish behavior, and that his targets are women. Gacy targeted teen boys and thus ended up getting the needle.

[Raine]

20. He's a smart-mouthed bully, I see no appeal in that

but Raygun was a smart-mouthed bully too and they're all in love with him. x(

[gordianot]

21. Christy can say mean shit and ACT tough without a Texas drawl.

He is still a fat ass bully who is really a panzy.
