LOL, liberal spelling & typo nazi in action, is that the best you can do? I didn't even mispell his name in my first reference, obviously the second was a typo. It would be too much to expect you to actually address the topic at hand though, typical liberal deflection.

Deflection? IF you'd clear up your NeoConfusion you just might realize the"topic at hand" IS NOT Christie or Christy (whichever you happen to be using at the moment) and how he'd fare in a debate with Obama. Your hypocrisy is truly the one consistent trait of the NeoConfused.

I think it is important to clarify the context in which the obesity comment was made (see above).

That said, I find obese and extremely obese people to be a matter of national concern myself. I'm truly sorry if diabetes or another health condition has led to your obesity, but if it is simply self indulgence and an inability to stop eating CRA@,then stop.


Simply put, there are many adults in the US who are digustingly FAT and many children who are OBESE as well.

This would sound perfect on a Fox news soundbite, with its typically attractive (and slim) talking heads, discounting the fact that many of this stations viewers are probably overweight and more obsessed with notions of "liberal fanaticism" than they are with their own health and weight (as well as more obsessed with the next Fox news 'scare-cast' than they are interested in their own kids homework and potential fatty kid syndrome).

That is like saying skinny people have severe emotional problems because they are obsessed with weight or vegetarlians are not getting enough protein so they must all be anemic.

Nita
Those leaders aren't fighting, they don't have physical jobs. You've lost the context of the thread.

Well, was she giving a speech to the National Institutes of Security?

Again, this post is out of context. We want fit soldiers and Govt agents.

I'd say we want fit wives too (to lower the divorce rate), but that is also out of context.
