Does the federal government do the exact same thing? Withhold education money, road/bridge funding unless you reduce speed limit maximums etc?

I just love trying to have a conversation about Christie with a conservative. It would be like having a sports conversation along the following:

"Wow, A-Rod suspended for a year...pretty crazy huh?"

"Yeah! But remember back when Bud Selig ordered the All-Star Game to end in a tie? He should have lost his job after that!"

Same thing...Obama and Clinton are irrelevant to Christie's current scandal(s).

The story is a lot dirtier than that and just breaking on MSNBC right now. They were interviewing the mayor who said Christie wanted her to illegally approve a development.

I'm not a Christie supporter

Clinton isnt irrelevant to the topic, because I'M COMPARING THE TWO..

Dont want to compare them, and justify why the Christie scandal disqualifies him as President while justifying Clinton is unbeatable because of hers? Dont post on the thread then..

Democrats please explain to me why shutting a bridge is a far greater issue than many of the other problems Clinton has been involved in..

Why dont you care about the Clinton scandals, but shutting down a bridge (where there actually is no evidence he had anything to do with) makes him unelectable..
Because Christie is a Republican. That makes all the difference. Democrats are above the law, and no scandal is big enough to bring them down. Besides, they are all just "phoney scandals," remember? Ipse dixit!

Clintons are far more than just "a video", and she didnt know about x, y, z...

You still havent told me why Clintons make her unbeatable, while Christies makes him unelectable..

It's not like the Democrats have never done such a thing, huh?

Yeah, Christie is a "fool" for not knowing why the bridge was closed, but Obama doesnt know about gun running, IRS, and scandal after scandal, and he's the smartest man on the face of the earth..

Liberals lack ability to think..

When there are emails and testimony specifically implicating Christie in ANY sort of wrong doing, then we can talk. Until then, you sound like a Sean Hannity type just mindlessly spinning, trying to bolster a fellow Republican. And if you are not a Christie supporter, why are you so vehemently defending him in thread after thread, and reposting that same stupid cartoon?

So when there are emails and testimony specificallly implying Christie of wrong doing, then he will be guilty, but lacking that, he's guilty... What type of thought process does one have to have to come to that conclusion?

First, I didnt at all defend him, and second of all, YOU JUST ADMITTED, there was no emails, testimony or anything implicating Christie of wrongdoing,

Why are you letting a cartoon upset you so much? Must be true..
