So the Fat man can not lie but b o can.   :lol:


By Mark Murray and Michael O'Brien, NBC News

Explosive emails released Wednesday are casting a potential cloud over New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's presidential prospects for 2016.

The revealing conversations between state officials suggest for the first time that politics -- from the highest levels of Christie's administration -- may have played a role in last fall's controversial closure of local access lanes to the congested George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, N.J. in the midst of Christie's re-election campaign.   

Democrats have charged the closures were an attempt at political retribution for Ft. Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, a Democrat who declined to endorse Christie's re-election effort last year and whose city sits in the shadow of the bridge.

But the emails threaten to undercut the governor's strong denial that politics played any role in the closure.

He is history, just like Rubio. No chance he could survive the southern primaries.

Are libs really going after Christie for mis-using his office to punish non-supporters?

I wont shed any tears if Christie does down in flames. Rubio would be even worse.

They are really going after Christie on this. They fear him but if this is the best they get on Christie he's in good shape.

I think it's all for show, they'll find he had no involvement even if he did.
The left really want him to run, they know the base hates his fat ass.

YES. They know that, if Clinton doesn't win the Democratic nomination, Christie could win 35+ states. They have to take him down now.

He isn't a Conservative outside of NJ, the rest of the country sees him as a joke.

They've been pushing him for sometime now, but the country is sick of the Bush regime.
I'm thinking Rubio might be there fall back, but he's just a kid where experience is concerned.

After 3 decades of straight rino and their need to move further left, with the country fighting and losing it's identity, and overly bloated govt.
And there are actually people out there stupid enough to let them try failure under a new facade?

Christie is even more liberal than Bush, what in the Hell are people thinking?
