Chris Christie's Govt Shut Down Story: I'll Open A Beer, Order A Pizza & Watch The Mets!

[MikeyMacky]

If this guy wants to be president he needs to lose A LOT of weight. He is morbidly obese and in danger.

[PoliticalIncorrectly]

Love the guy's style, but he loses points in my book for being a Mets fan.

[makisunn]

This meatball's a friggin genius. Can you imagine what would happen if Christie lost a few pounds? He'd be a god. Somebody make a movie about this guy right now.

[makisunn]

Why isn't this guy president already?

[Cappello101]

Ahh god bless my governor. He's a real vivid voice in politics. If decision for presidency is a no go, I pray that if were around in the next 4 yrs that Christie runs.

[bboucharde]

Dream Team: Ron Paul leads the ticket with Christie as VP.

They would go through every federal agency AND the Federal Reserve with a searchlight, a hatchet, and a firehose---The stinking scum bureaucrats would be scurrying out of the woodpile like dirty little rats.......

[MrOrganazized]

This man is nothing short of a hero. The only true leader left in American politics.

[ls033189]

@MrOrganazized Him and Ron Paul

[LcccCops]

The great communicator ...Christie 2012

[maeflower25]

@hinodecho69

Actually, I'm very liberal (and a NJ resident) and I think that Chris Christie is hilarious and refreshing.

[JoeDaWg82]

Can we just go ahead and clone this guy? Every state needs a chris christie. Too bad he s the exception and not the rule.

[AirJawz]

Chris Christie for President

[hinodecho69]

Liberals listening to Chris Christie are like spoiled adolescents dealing with the first adult who tells them the truth - they can't handle it.

[SupaNami]

Chris Christie is the best thing since Iphone .... he's the one that will bring NJ back to it's high times .... i would love for him to run for Pres ... but he needs to get NJ back ... he's a great Gov... and tells it like it is to the bias media ... LOL NBC CNBC CNN ABC CBS LMFAO ....

[heith123]

Tell the President we ain't given you anymore MONEY! Cut, cut, cut, cut! Christie is the man!

[YanksR5]

chris christie new name is governor fat fuck.

[ObamaIsAMarxistTowel]

@YanksR5

so, nothing about his ideas just a personal attack!

what an intellectual argument!! (LOL!!)

you must be a liberal

[godmathias]

@YanksR5 well governor Fat Fuck really knows his shit. California could use a Governor Fat Fuck.

[CSUTAMTAM]

I WANT A CHRISTIE WITH MY PIZZA AND BEER!

[longlivecrow]

As a straight male, I would kiss Chris Christie on the mouth.

[ARGrandma1]

Look at that smurky, evil, marxist look on Obama's face. If we don't stop him, everyone will pay 100% of their income to the government, just like Obama Sr. wanted to do, and we we'll be controlled by the government, communism.

[cuttock]

@ARGrandma1 Shut up you silly old bitch.

And it's "smirky", not "smurky" you were aiming for, not that either is even a word. Retard.

[EGarrett01]

@cuttock

You don't need to insult someone to make a point. Try to grow up a little.

[TheConservativejim]

we need a governor christie in every state in this country, and in the whitehouse. your the man gov. christie!!!

[mixmastermeeks]

Chris Christie will be president if he doesn't die of a heart attack.

[GinoCento]

This guy is an asshole.

[GinoCento]

This guy is an asshole.

[Krivaka]

If this guy was anti-war I'd like him a lot more...Maybe if he would take the federal reserve out I'd be happy...

[mikereynolds4444]

classic how scared the left gets about these great Americans.

Also, no surprise how they all revert to hateful comments about his weight because they can't think of any of his principles or beliefs to attack.

Thank God for men like Christie, who are fighting for the average American, to stop this ridiculous government monster we've created.

[crosseyedwillie]

You guys that are saying this do realize that he has 34 people in his administration that make 6 figures. And... his Lt Gov is being inplicated in a double dipping scam. She is right now being investigated.

[tmac9938]

@crosseyedwillie pennies, in a pool of billions. irrelevant.

[duncan7599]

Looks like Christie Creme is getting cocky. This is one ugly,fat, arrogant rich pig that made over 4 million dollars last year while he guts everyone elses pensions and jobs. I made the mistake of voting for him last election but I wont make that mistake again.

[Spartacus217]

He doesn't lead by example. He's a stroke/heart attack waiting to happen. His medical bills will be astronomical.

[corinaldi]

I would like to see his ignorant ass go to war and protect this country for free!!! There are men and women dying for this country with no pay, now tell me what is right about that. This is sick and unacceptable. I'm ashamed of the way the American people are viewing this shutdown, as something that is good for the people. This shutdown will ruin lives and change life as we all know it.

[rhm51]

@corinaldi You must be toally dependent on the govt. This country desperatly needs to wean itself off the public teat and develope some self reliance. We used to stand on our own two feet but now we cant take a shit w/o the govt holding our hand and then wipping our ass for us. The govt can never provide prosperity for us......only we can do that for ourselves. Shut it down for a while and you will see that the world doesnt cease to turn on its axis.

[beatlemania100]

@rhm51 yeah lets just NOT pay the military. That sounds like a great idea. Its pathetic that this country allows people as stupid as you to vote.

[rhm51]

@beatlemania100 if you bothered to read a newspaper, you would know that govt shutdowns are attended by certain exemptions like the military, social security checks etc. Christie is treating the Dem's in his legislature like the petulant children they are, who if they are not given what they want they will "take their marbles and go home". Your calling one stupid who knows more than you amuses me.

[srdeftone]

A true leader!

[thejoshfromtexas]

I'm do glad the Obama Hype is over.

[beatlemania100]

@thejoshfromtexas hes gonna win re election you idiot

[beatlemania100]

OBAMA 2012

[NWsubmom]

@beatlemania100 OBAMA SUCKS!

[makaveliagain]

Run for Perez. You rule!

[sharinganclan213]

It's a Jersey thing.

[MrBlukat]

Awesome

[ajs2984]

who is the guy in the last 7 seconds talking to obaba?



[bstnrdsxfrk]

@ajs2984 Paul Ryan, a US Representative from Wisconsin.

[dallasdawg2010]

Watch, we have yet to see what affect his policies will have on the state of New Jersey. Not only did he not negotiate with unions, he bullied and badgered the working class of that state. What will this fat ass, sleep apnea, I don't give a damn savior of the Repubs do when it comes to a national crisis? You can't bully everyone. You have to talk to someone. He claims he's not ready yet, but so far he hasn't demonstrated true national leadership. beware of the man behind the curtain. More2come

[thelucrative]

the only private individuals who make their living in the real world that promote this kind of insanity are "uber" liberals like Arianna Huffington and Sean Penn. 60% of $10 mill+ a year is still a nice chunk and they are getting ahead and have more than they need. but those making $400K or even $600k are not making some kind of cash cow after 55% or 60% is sucked out to go to you unionized tenured teachers with your 3 month summers and bankers holidays. so dont tell me about struggles. ..

[thelucrative]

these liberals are clueless. $400K w/ a raised 11% state income tax, plus a combined 40% federal income tax...plus social security plus medicare...plus your net money paying taxes every time you pass a dollar...your $400k is easily widdled down to $150K. 60% of your money dissapears. 2 kids.. mortgage, cars...college...in NJ? that is not rich. plus if you are a business sub S, sole prop or LLC...where do you reinvest your profits? ohhh, liberals have never left the safety of the gov tit

[kefluv]

This fat blowhard would rather the ENTIRE government shutdown than raise the taxes on those making 400k/year by 2%? He would rather fire cops, fire fighters and teachers (aka useless money-hungry over-paid public workers) than raise taxes on the struggling 400k+ CEOs and Hedge Fund Managers?

And this guy is supposed to be the next great conservative hero?

[meemoonses]

@kefluv Go ahead and raise the taxes on the "rich" then try to keep them from moving to a low tax state. Perhaps you will lie down on the street in front of their moving vans? Ask the people in California. Where are their "rich" people going? Anywhere but California. Reality intrudes;deal with it. Firemen and police hirings are a local,county,property tax issue. The gravy train is drying up and it is amusing,and predicted,that liberals would immediately justify endless spending increases.

[bush1tman]

@kefluv I appreciate recognizing firefighters as overpaid, money hungry and useless. I know alot of them that are. And you forgot vain and arrogant. The two most accurate descriptions.

[kefluv]

@bush1tman Firefighters are "overpaid, money hungry... useless... vain and arrogant."

Thanks. Now I know what conservatives really think about those heroes who died on 9/11 while conservatives sat safe in their beds (or in a 'undisclosed location).

Sarah Palin made 12 MILLION dollars after she QUIT her job. Dick Cheney made millions on Halliburton stock while bankrupting the country. But to conservatives, firefighters (90% volunteer) who risk their lives daily for 44k/year who are 'overpaid'?

[bush1tman]

@kefluv Thanks. Now I know what libs think about people who make money based on their own efforts while firefighters sit around and collect pay for doing nothing, practice their golf games 5 days a week while collecting $75 grand a year plus lifetime benefits and cannot be fired. No one said anything about 9/11 firefighters on that day but you. So you have no idea what I think. And you don't want to. There was alot of fucking up on that day including people who tried to leave tower 1......

[bush1tman]

......after tower 2 was hit and were stopped and forced by fire officials and police to go back up to their offices only to be stuck by the next hit. And radios not working while firemen were ordered up stairways, clogging them up only to die along with the rest of the victims. That in no way takes anything away from many brave firemen who were trying their best to do their jobs and lost their lives on that day. That is still a tradgey. You piece of shit.

[kefluv]

@bush1tman You call people who risk their lives for a measly 75k/year, lazy because they ONLY risk their lives when there is a fire? So, according to YOUR logic, during times of peace Marines are lazy and overpaid too?

How many stock brokers (who make $50M/year) die in the line of duty? How much golf does the CEO of Exxon ($22M/year) play? Does the former CEO of a health care provider deserve a $1 BILLION pension?

'Lazy' FFs works for 25 years for a 50k/year pension, yet, I'm a 'piece of shit'?

[bush1tman]

@kefluv Well I suppose that my "Logic" would translate to Marines being lazy and overpaid. Except most marines do a basic training, and take an MOS for 2 years and maybe reserves. Their pay is not equivalent to NYC fire fighters and they have no pensions or pertetual health care so your argument is not all that convincing. You obviously hate anyone who is paid alot of money that does not get it all from a union. You sound broke and bitter.

[kefluv]

@bush1tman So the radios not working was the fire fighters fault (even though they complained publicly about it), not MAYOR Rudy Gulliani's (who had been warned about the problem since 1993, but refused to do anything about it)?

I respect those who might one day risk their lives to save mine. You calling me a 'piece of shit', only makes me feel better. When your house catches on fire and your children are burning to death, remember to tell those fire fighters how lazy and overpaid they are...

[bush1tman]

@kefluv I didn't assign any blame to the radios not working but it was definitely someone's fault and inexcusable. And innocent fire fighters died because of it. I guess the union didn't care enough to make sure it was corrected because after all it is necessary for the union to blame the hand that feeds them for everything. And fire fighters in my town are all volunteers. My tax money pays for the chief and the firehouse and the fire trucks. So if my children are burnt to death........

[bush1tman]

......I'll have a law suit if they don't show up because they have something personally against me. And maybe if I have the time I'll look you up to have an outlet for my anger.

[bush1tman]

Oh and one more thing. You ask how many stock brokers die in the line of fire? I don't know but the brokerage firm Cantor Fitzgerald lost 658 of it's employees on 9/11 in the 101st to 106th floors. The company was wiped out. Just a little FYI for a little Ward Churchill channeling piece of shit like you.

[kefluv]

@bush1tman The FF unions complained about the lack of radio frequencies for YEARS and Gulliani did nothing.

BTW, Marines do get pensions (20k-35k/year after 20 years) and free SOCIALIZED health care for life (VA).

Also, I don't hate anyone getting paid a lot of money (union or otherwise). But you on the other hand, seem to despise ALL union workers (even if they risk their lives to save others). YOU are the one calling people 'lazy', and complaining about them being 'overpaid'. YOU sound bitter.

[bush1tman]

@kefluv I don't mind private sector unions even though most are corrupt. For example it was ok with me when Pan Am workers struck their company out of business putting all of them on the street. The problem with public sector unions is that they are corrupt and cannot be put out of business as long as they can buy politicians. And they have contempt for those not in unions who make 1/2 what they make on taxpayer dollars. You discount my personal experience so you make assumptions.......

[bush1tman]

.......I don't mind military lifers getting pensions because they serve the country against threats from abroad and not individual states. Lately with diversity mandates the military is losing it's sanity. I don't mind private corruption as much because the law has no conflict of interest in taking it down, usually. But I do mind corruption in public sector unions because there is no check against. And Wi students are failing while their teachers demand more pay and benefits. Then shut down.....

[bush1tman]

.....the government when they don't get it. Something is wrong but you are too partisan and angry to see it.

[kefluv]

@bush1tman I might be partisan (on the side of educators) but I'm not angry. YOU are the one calling people 'lazy', 'pieces of shit' and 'overpaid'.

BTW, I DO mind corruption (both private and public). Public corruption (if caught) you go to jail (Tom Delay) or lose your political office (Richard Nixon). Private corruption (if caught) you get to keep most of the money you stole (Bernie Maddoff's Family) and almost NEVER go to jail (AIG, Bank/America). And WE always pay the consequences.

[bush1tman]

@kefluv Wow hahaha are you a naive little boy or what? Live a sheltered live much? LOL

[xleax]

@kefluv What did Bank of America do?

[kefluv]

@bush1tman I love the fact that you think the unions are what destroyed PanAm. Not the raising cost of fuel, or the 1988 Lockerbie bombing and the lawsuits that arose from that bombing, or that they bought a large fleet of new Boeing 747s (when there was a lower demand for air travel), or the MANY other financial missteps made by management... Nope, it was the unions.

BTW, the unions are fighting to KEEP their benefits (not demanding more) and those 'failing' WI students were #2 in SAT scores...

[thelucrative]

RECORD DEPTS??? can you even spell BUDGET? i don't care what republican or democrat has done in the past at this point. i would vote Christie in if he had a damn U for "Unknown" next to his name. The spending spree is done in this country. it has failed. it has been tried by democrats & weak republicans alike. get beyond your partisan tunnel vision and realize that what Christie is talking about is reality. the credit cards need to be burned, nuked & launched into space for a millennium

[meemoonses]

@thelucrative These kiddies cannot fathom a state mandated balanced budget. Any idea of a "budget" escapes them. States can't break their budgets and cannot print money. One hopes that a kind conservative will lead them away from the wall they just hit after they have sobbed and wailed themselves silly. Perhaps they could get jobs as professional mourners.

[meemoonses]

I think,but can't prove,that there is a sincere belief in this country that the government has gone too far and needs a slap. Shut it down.I live on SSA, but unlike our liberal friends who whine and cry for MORE,MORE,MORE, I lived within my means.I paid my house off years ago.I have some savings.I have good credit.I can go 6 months without my SSA check and not miss a meal.Stop the deficit spending now or STOP...period. I'll toke me a bowl and watch some AC/DC.

[MrProudRepublican]

this guys in lala land......... As a republican look back at our last republican president they ALL LEFT WITH RECORD DEPTS!!!!!!!!!

[elijahablaze]

i will be soooooo happy when Christie becomes our next president, replacing the communist vermin who is currently the president. Christie has GOT to select the best, most-electable candidate. is it sarah palin ? i love sarah & all she stands for but i dont know if voters are confident with her totally. maybe jim DeMint, Marco Rubio or pawlenty. as long as Christie selects the RIGHT running mate, he's a lead-pipe cinch lock to be the next us president ( thank you Jesus)

[dallasdawg2010]

@elijahablaze Does the fact that a black man and his family occupy the White House really hurt you so much that you're willing to accept anyone as president? You love Palin so much that you would be willing to overlook her lack of political intelligence as long as she's saying what you want to hear. This is your opportunity, go ahead and say it, GET THAT NIGGER OUT OF THERE. Using Demint already shows where your heart and values truly are. This is coming from a South Carolinian.You Racist.

[meemoonses]

@dallasdawg2010 I have lived in South Carolina almost all my 62 years. Your bigotry against us is noted and typical. Nobody hates like a liberal.

[dallasdawg2010]

@meemoonses I applaud your right to free speech, and I defended also. As a retired veteran, I returned home seeing a lot of the old ways returning and so blatantly flaunted by only one particular political party. I served under four republican presidents and one democrat, and every time I believed the right man was at the right job at the right time. I responded to the comment of someone who places unqualified and uncaring people like Palin and Demint on a pedastal based on their actions. So FU

[dallasdawg2010]

@meemoonses By the way bitch, liberals aren't calling Obama Muslim in an effort to instill fear amongst we tax paying Americans. Liberals aren't questioning his legitimacy as president by questioning his his place of birth. Liberals aren't trying to change laws to make it impossible for this sitting president to be on the ballot for the election. You're 62? Liberals aren't trying to increase the age for or privatize that social security you're gonna want in 3 years.

[meemoonses]

@dallasdawg2010 Your bigotry matches your temper.

[dallasdawg2010]

@meemoonses U are absolutely right. For my intolerable behavior, I apologize. I guess my passion for the issues as I see them overwhelmed the way I was raised as a southern gentleman. I have no excuse for my lack of civility. Bigotry comes in many forms. Yours is the one Americans must be aware of. You call a person a bigot, but you ignore the bigotry of those in politics you like. Walk the walk. If the repubs privatize social security, be first in line to give your check to Wall Street. 3yrs.

[meemoonses]

@dallasdawg2010 I called you a bigot based on your slurs against those of us in South Carolina. We are not all racists and I thank you for the apology. You have no idea who I like or don't like though I will tell you that I would never support anyone who is an avowed bigot. You may claim these are secretly bigoted but I am reminded that you have characterized ALL people in my state as sufferers of that affliction. The above clip is about New Jersey, not me, SC, bigots, or social security.

[dallasdawg2010]

@meemoonses I did not call all South Carolinians racists. Just Demint. I'd also like to include Joe Wilson in that category. Wilson screamed "You lie!" Not only did healthcare for the undocumented not occur, it was not included in Obama's healthcare law. Joe tried to explain away the reason for his outburst by saying that he worked as an immigration attorney. No where in the SC bar association is Joe listed as taking part in any immigration litigation.HE LIED. But you'll ignore that.

[dallasdawg2010]

@meemoonses Ok, it's about New Jersey, but the writer I responded to wants this man as president and Demint to be his running mate. Christie has no civility or toleration those who disagree with his bullying ways. Demint is a backward thinking, son of confederate veterans, bastard who stole his last election(wink,wink). This is my state too. We've overcome too much to fall back now. SC can be a mecca for progress, but the good old boy network won't die. Will U let them invest your check ?

[meemoonses]

@dallasdawg2010 I voted for Clyburn because he has done a good job for Colleten Cty. I reponded to what I saw as a slur against we here in SC and I would not interject myself into a disc. with others. I sold my business and retired years ago. I am already receiving SSA. I have no fear that my SSA benefits are secure and have no complaints. I know of no serious ambition on any pols' part to "privative" SSA. Obamacare will ruin Medicare. 20 mill+ patients without added med staffing = disaster.

[dallasdawg2010]

@meemoonses You say that I'm a bigot, but you have yet to answer the question I posed to you. WILL YOU TRUST THOSE YOU ELECT TO PRIVATIZED AND INVEST THE SOCIAL SECURITY YOU WILL RECEIVE IN THREE YEARS? a simple answer will do, yes or no. Don't try to distract from the question I asked you. Because if you are from SC you're an American, and it is about you. Your participation is required for the question I asked you. I've received your judgement, now lets see the courage of your conviction.

[meemoonses]

@dallasdawg2010 " I've received your judgement, now lets see the courage of your conviction." // A little patience? It takes little courage to express my convictions. I didn't come here to get in a fight. I'm filling in time while I work on a few chess games and answer questions at Yahooanswers (dot) com.

[dallasdawg2010]

@meemoonses LOL! Ok, I'll back off. Greetings from Columbia, and have a good night.

[dallasdawg2010]

@meemoonses Answer me. Will you give your check to Wall Street when Repubs you elect to office privatize the social security you expect to receive in 3 years? These so called repubs/tea bag partiers don't care about us. Those who retire from one profession after 23 years and working another profession for 25 more years, will truly reap the benefits of a FOR PROFIT CONGRESS and FOR PROFIT PRESIDENT if Repubs get control of the White House and all of congress. Keep it the way it is. Make 'em work.

[breakeranointingman]

@dallasdawg2010 how can you make such a blanket generalization that all of us south carolineans are racist ? your no different than intolerant nuts from either side of the political aisle. im proud to be from s carolina & IM DEFINTELY NOT PREDJUDICE AGAINST ANY RACE

[dallasdawg2010]

@breakeranointingman No, not all of us from South Carolina are racists, just the two, Demint and Wilson.

[meemoonses]

@dallasdawg2010 I have seen no evidence that either of these two you mention are racists. Perhaps you can enlighten us? (Calling Obama a liar and Demint's opposition to his legislative programs are NOT evidence of racism)

[heirtoruin]

Why won't more politicians be like this guy? When was the last time you saw people so enamored with such a straight talker?

[dalekyarng]

Please.. Why cant this guy be President instead.. it is sooooo refreashing to the truth.. he has my vote.

[doggy8kitty]

Just love this guy, he distracts the feeble minded left with his appearance while discussing real issues with people that are either the problem or are affected by the problem.

Fecal Matters dot com had an entire article dedicated to his personal appearance and called it political news so I'm not at all surprised to see him walk right over anyone standing in the way of his basic economic plan.

He is great to watch, like a new show that just came out, one or two new broadcasts a week.

[doggy8kitty]

This guy knows his math. Someone should tell Obama we found him a tutor.

[Aeschylus]

I ♥ this guy. Would that California and New York State each had a Christie!

[walkingisboring]

The end of the video was classic.

Obama's stupid grin is everywhere.

[jbpnw]

He has to much common sense for the average Obama/Democrat supporter.

Sure would be refreshing to have someone like him running things right about now.

[wldbil4utoob]

I wish there was 100 more like this guy in the nation's capital!

[ReachDeep1]

This guy is just straight awesome. 

[NWsubmom]

I think the republicans should call the Presidents bluff and SHUT ER DOWN!

Look the government was shut down for several days due to the HUGE snow storms in DC.

Did we DIE?

NO!

[phuture101]

@NWsubmom Lmao! It shut down in the HUGE snow storm? LOL!! Really you thought that was a shut down? Really? Lmao! WOW! No when they shut it down you will really know! The Military not paid, Medicare, SS, Post Office, i don't think you people really understand if the government shuts down! Becareful what you wish for

[NWsubmom]

@phuture101 IT was shut down before in the late 90's and we didn't DIE.

[beatlemania100]

@NWsubmom you are soo stupid. You shouldnt even be allowed to vote. A government shutdown means that the military would not get paid, and businesses all over the country would shutdown. It has nothing to do with a snowstorm you idiot. I feel bad for people like you who know nothing about government. The republicans are trying to end medicare so they can give tax breaks to the rich. You cant just cut 100 billion from spending and not go into a bigger recession. Get out of this country you fool

[NWsubmom]

@beatlemania100 DId you know that the republicans wanted to make sure that IF the gov did shut down the military would still get paid? Of course you did not. Because you get all your limited information from the mainstream Obamamedia. Businesses wouldn't have all shut down you numbskull. Only certain gov offices.

Not the post office, teachers, garbage collectors etc. Only NON-essential gov workers you TOOL!

OMG!

How STUPID can you get?

It is YOU that should not be allowed to vote!

IDIOT!

[beatlemania100]

@NWsubmom Nope. Show me one bill the Republicans proposed to pay the military. 800,000 people would not have gotten paid if the government had shut down. Essential or not, 800,000 people would not have gotten paid. Have you no heart? That is terrible. You are so selfish. If it doesnt hurt you it doesnt matter right? Pathetic

[hookem0886]

@beatlemania100 I think it's really funny you getting all bent out of shape and calling people idiots and stupid about something you don't know anything about.

[mikereynolds4444]

@NWsubmom

You are awesome...keep it up!

[ph03n1xamb1t]

@NWsubmom

Quite possibly the most retarded comment.

[NWsubmom]

@ph03n1xamb1t You should know.

And BTW no increase on the debt ceiling EITHER.

We need budget cuts, not a raise on the debt ceiling.

Now shut up and go back to watching WWF.

LOL
