You slay me. It always makes sense that when you have no real intelligent criticism to make to fall back on personal attacks.

Thanks Paul for explaining why you rely so much on personal attacks. You have nothing intelligent to say. But we all already knew that about ya ;-)

LOL!

Please stop, Ric, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard.

"putting my money where my mouth is, that will have to be a lot of money considering how large his mouth must be" (Ric).
I assume that was a reference to his size...was wrong about that being a personal attack?

Now exactly where did I do that?

Paulie,Paulie, Paulie, I just love it when a guy like you claims to be intelligent while you actually believe in Creationism. LOL! The religious right wingers of the Republican Party are even worse; they actually are running Mitt Witt, a Mormon moron, for president. To think if the party ran a half witt against Obama, they would surely win the election. Instead they run a Mitt Witt!

PS. Like most Creationist, do you still also believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny?

You're a real class act, Ric. It's tough to follow your stand-up routine. Have you ever in your life made a cogent argument about something you believe in? It's hard to tell from your posts. Have a great weekend!

Ric,
I am rather sure that JFK, Jimmy Carter and other promenent Dems were or are Creationists.

Rick,

JFK = Catholic = The vast majority of American Catholics may accept the idea of Creationism as presented in the Bible, but they do not reject any and all SCIENCE - even if it may contradict the Bible stories. As a matter of fact they usually go out of their way to link the two by reminding us all that the Bible is not to be taken "literally" as some other folks (Christians) take it. Or by crediting God with the "science" behind it all.
Jimmie Carter spoke about his take on Creationism vs Evolution several times in print and TV interviews. On Larry King he said:
" CARTER: I believe there's a supreme being, God, who created the entire universe, yes. And I am a scientist, as a matter of fact, as you may know, I studied nuclear physics. I helped to develop nuclear submarines. So, I believe in science. I believe we ought to explore the far outreaches of space. We ought to make sure we understand everything we can about the particles that make up the atoms.

I think we ought to discover everything we can about science. It ought to be accepted as proved unless it's discounted. I believe still in a supreme being. But, I don't believe that we ought to teach religious matters in a science classroom, because I think that the two ought not to be related. "

So there you go- it's not the creationist beliefs that I'm concerned about... it's only when its paired up with an ANTI-Science belief that it gets scary.

I love him too. He brings the worst out in liberals. They show how small and envious most of them are. He's great.

Pothead,

Did you ever hear of "jobs"? Once people earn money, what they do with it is out of your control. You buy pot...Atlantic City residents buy beer, drugs, prostitution, etc. It's a free country.

Because he prefers the all you can eat buffets of A.C.

Christie has now officially kicked off his "paid day off at the beach" program. You will see him all over this summer just like last summer, when he really should be at work fixing that budget that he has lied to everyone about. Can't wait until he is elected out of office.

None of the above, now or ever. I have worked in the private sector all of my life, never been in a union and have never broken a law, not that it is any of your business. I am entitled to speak my mind like anyone else. I just have a strong dislike for this loud mouth, low class bully that believes he is superior to the rest of us. His only concerns are for himself, and not the state he is supposed to be governing.

Project Moonbeam,

You seem a pretty average democrat...can you explain you and your fellow comrades near fetish reaction to Christie's weight? Why is this anyone's business than his? Corzine was bald as a billiard and I don't recall Republicans demanding he wear a rug...what gives? Could it be that on some level, as with other areas of envy, you covet his food? Democrats always seem more interested in what others have or are doing rather than focus on their own miserable lives. You are pissed that he has access to a helicopter which every governor has had. And you're even annoyed that he was able to go to Disney World.

Sounds like you live such an impoverished life that the governor brings out your jealousy. Also seems that "klan meeting" is more your cup of tea...some place you could skulk off to and plan an overthrow of Christie. Better hope you can recruit a lot of members because he's pretty heavy.

What is it with liberals that whenever they have no cogent argumant to make, which happens to be all the time, they go for the personal attacks? As if libs had a cogent article to make; for instance, look at the standard bearer...trashes Bain Capital but takes money from Bain executives with nary a blink, a wink, or a nod.

LOL! Kinda ironic reading your complaint about teachers taking a free ride and at the same time you laud your husband's work as a teamster. I really do not know if the teacher's union or your husband’s teamster union is the bigger mob run union in the state. I do know both unions bleed the state dry.

I guess we now have to debate which union is more corrupt? I don't like these facts: Christie is a bully; His "friends" are double and triple dippers and no stopping them; When you disagree, you are called an idiot or moron, no debate just name calling; He can't seem to add; He overstated revenue, yet that is someone else's fault not his.

My father was teamster. I know all about the teamsters. Teachers aren't paying union dues? Please! Talk about biased.

Oh, Ok, that makes sense. Chrisite was actually doing the pilot a BIG HUGE favor. LOL! How do I sign up for the free helicopter rides? I also want to help the pilots out. I need a ride from my home to ShopRite and back. LOL!

Michael, You are exactly right, I have seen 2 NJ State Trooper Helicopters land at the Ocean City Airport, the pilots and crew get out, lock the helicopters, and go into the diner, have breakfast, and go fly away. The best part about them flying the Gov. Christie to the ball game is that he reimbursed state for use of police helicopter. So the pilots got some flying time not on the taxpayers dime. Win-Win.

Yes, I was so impressed when the BIG guy reimbursed the state for his wasting of taxpayer's money on that wasteful helicopter ride. The fact that he did not reimbursed the state until the press took him to account for stealing state funds does not exonerate the BIG guy. His reimbursement actually confirms his taking that helicopter ride was morally wrong. What part of logic do you not understand?

Michael, Are you sure about Christie reimbursing the residents for the helicopter ride? Because I can prove you are dead wrong. 1st of all you are correct he did "CLAIM" he would reimburse the state but did he? NO! He scumbag made his wife pay for her share $1,300+ and he made the Republican National Committee pay $900+ of his trip. The reasons he gave where He was forced to use the helicopter for security reasons but he made his wife pay her share as she could have driven her own car since when leaving the event she needed her car anyway, (someone else drove it there for her to use later). Those where "His own words" He also made the RNC pay for his continuance portion of the flight from the game to his fund raiser, since in "HIS WORDS" he was attending the fund raiser to support the RNC so they Paid for his transportation to the event.

Funny thing if he knew his wife should not have been in the helicopter and that the RNC should have paid for his flight since they and not the tax payers of NJ were benefiting from his appearance, why was he not criminally charges with misappropriating tax payer funds? After all his intentions were to commit fraud he just happened to get busted then he thinks it's ok just because he "Paid it back" No theft is theft as the former Attorney General and now present Governor of the state he should have been held accountable instead he wasn’t even forced to pay restitution, others paid it. His actions are a complete fraud.

Here is another example lets see how Michael defends this abuse of the Helicopter. this was reported originally by Bloomsberg News

Wow N/A, reading comprehension is not a strong point for you is it? I'd like you to show me anywhere that I stated the Gov reimbursed the taxpayers for the helicopter ride. you may have me confused with Justin, but I guess that really doen't matter to you. Facts have never been one of your strong suits. This seems to be a recurring theme that you tend to accuse me of writing things I didn't write.

You are so wrong - again.
I am actually a republican. I am not a far right tea party republican. I am a centrist. One of the recent presidents I greatly admire is Richard M. Nixon. He deserves much credit for setting the stage of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Watergate was a stupid thing but not enough to tarnish Nixon's great accomplishments.

By the way, JFK, the darling of the democrats will go down in history as one of the absolute worse presidents we ever had.

Christie is so far right that he endorses Creationism, a junk science embraced by dolts. Now, about me not being a republican, your proof?

Great food!

That is so wonderful. I am sure he sleeps better at night knowing that.

Even when he uses to bullying terms to denegrate his opponents. It's hard to have credibility in tough anti-bullying laws when the head of our states uses them freely. Not a very good example for our children to live by. Setting an example starts at the top. If Mr. Christie would stop with the name calling (even if he is attacked), I might have more respect. A leader ignores the silly remarks and rises above it; they do not join in. Just saying....

Very intelligent response and so on-target...BTW, spell much?

mucous man,

I think you must be eating some of those contaminated mussels the Jersey shore is so famous for. What does, what Chris Christie does or doesn't do with his own money concern you? He was elected by a majority to do the things he's doing. You, unfortunately are on the wrong side of his leadership. You losers just can't stand it that he has fairly good ratings and must somehow be troubling you may somehow come up short. Although, in your case, coming up "short" is probably the norm. If Christie was skinny as a rail, morons like you would be claiming, of course "he" can survive on less...look at him.

That same sex marriage thing must really irk you.

Are you really a mussel man? Get a real job, not one better left to 16 year kids in the summer. How can someone ever hope to make anything of themselves harvesting mussels?

Mussel Head,

You have some real problems accepting that you and the governor are not equal. You chose to harvest mussels, he ran and won the governorship. He gets the chopper and you get the stinky row boat. Life's not fair SFB.

Davie, Davie, Davie, either your drug use or lack of education is catching up to you. The Republican Party was not run always by right wing fanatical religious nut jobs. Those dolts were invited into the tent by Ronnie Reagan. Still, Bush the elder and the smarter, tried to be a centrist, which apparently offended his idiot spawn, Dubya.

I guess you never knew that the republicans used to be about the economy and they fostered business growth. Now, thanks to Karl Rove, the party kisses the ring finger of every bible thumper who screams "Praise be to Jesus" to the point of running Mitt Witt as their presidential candidate.
I hope that someday soon the party will come to its senses and says to hell with religion. It’s the economy, stupid. God has done quite well on his own. He no more needs the republicans than the republicans need him.
But don’t you worry about that. You have your drug use to worry about.

Sammy,

Why burst my bubble? When I read people like you can you blame me for questioning evolution? (-:

No problem, I understood your point and I agree that the museum about Creationism is pure bunk. Despite what the museum claims Fred and Wilma never had a pet named Dino, nor did the Rubles drive a foot powered car with stone wheels! It is a shame America never went through the reformation. The age of Enlightenment went over the heads of too many Americans.

It amazes me that Protestants try to paint Catholics as being backwards but it is more the other way around. At least Catholics realize Creationism is junk science although Catholics are taught God guided evolution. Too many Protestants lack the wattage to see the bunk that is being preached in the born again type churches.
Someday I hope the Republicans will realize the last thing in the world they need is support from the dolts - wacko Protestant right wingers. I am embarrassed to admit I was raised in the Protestant faith.

The Republican Party has been hijacked by the religious wackos with a 16th century agenda. Bring the party back to its centrist roots and focus on business and economic growth, and then talk about uniting the party. The far right is just as repugnant as the far left.

Jerseyswamps,

I agree with you but don't worry about Ric and Sammy.....they're not really Republicans. They claim they are but they are really Obama supporters. Ric said he first voted for Garfield but I don't think he meant James Garfield..he meant Garfield that cartoon cat. Thankfully he's being held, I assume, against his will so he doesn't harm himself or others. They keep him restrained like Anthony Hopkins in The Silence Of The Lambs. Have no fear, real Republicans will join together to defeat Obama in November.

Spooner,

I hear you. But when you consider that Obama only won by three million votes last time it's hard to believe that he hasn't alienated that many. And add to them those who didn't come out to vote for a wishy-washy McCain.

I'm thinking that the reason Romney hasn't really reached out to the center is because the data shows he doesn't have to. I'm not saying he wouldn't but apparently he hasn't to date. The dissatisfaction with this clown is deep and his polls will eventually collapse, much the way Carter's did. Entitlements or not...you have to have an economy to get those benefits.

Moonbeam,

I don't receive any government checks unless you count my occasional income tax return check. And even if I did, how would that relate to anything I've said? It doesn't matter to me in the least that Borat is probably Kenyan, I just want him out. He's the poster child for the welfare state and that isn't anything any thoughtful person should be for...this explains you.

And how do you figure tax money, mine or I suspect not yours, goes to anything on this site? If anything, any small costs I might be incurring here are complements of the leftist funders of the Patch network. I wish I could cost them more.

I'm forever curious with the names liberals choose for themselves...what's the meaning behind "project bluebeam"? Is it something you dreamed up in the back of a smoke filled van or just a recollection of when you mistakenly slammed your pud in the shower door? What's the story?

Aching bluebeam,

I've never said anything racist about our president. Even if I did, I could never be anything but 50% wrong what with his background. This hallucination with the noose seems more a product of your mind. Where do you come up with these things? Such an imprudent thing to say.

Yep...worst case.

It's a nickname...like "project bluebeam". And anyway I read recently that on the first book "they say" Obama wrote, he said he was born in Kenya...so maybe the nickname is really appropriate.

p.s. It sounds like you think Kenya is all tribesmen and shrunken heads. I never mentioned such things.

Hi Paul,

I have never received any government check. I'm not even close to retirement. But you are correct that I totally enjoy my conversations with liberals. I work for myself. And I will also admit to posting at odd times which I have many times tried to talk myself out of in favor of a better and more productive use of my time. I'm flattered that you did the research.

Spooner,

You're right I don't agree. After the election what Obama wants or doesn't want will be moot. He'll be loading up Michelle and the kids and be heading back to Chicago. It's interesting to guess what could have been but he doesn't show any leadership to support such a theory to my mind. He reminds me of Arafat when he baulked on his chance to make a deal with Israel. He seems unable to make the tough choices.

That's debatable, not making tough choices. If they pulled off that debt deal...wouldn't be making to many friends in his own party. You were talking $4T over ten years. . .quite a bit of money there. I agree that his jobs programs were willy-nilly. But fought for Affordable Care...that was a tough choice. His handling of the economy from a DOJ stand point was also disappointing in my opinion?

Poor David, he spent all yesterday at his computer. No one has invited him over for the holiday weekend. Poor fellow. Makes me want to cty. Folks, please let David know you feel for him.

Paul,

Whatever the truth is Obama hasn't been honest. If he would come out and offer some clarity on all this, he'd make the birthers look foolish. But since he doesn't it leaves everyone with any natural curiosity wondering. He's brought this all on himself.

tracey hummer,

It's a seal not a "rubber stamp".

What about the book he wrote in 1992? He said himself he was born in Kenya. I don't even care because he's president already but why doesn't he explain the discrepancies? If he just came clean that he's Kenyan, I'm sure the people would rally behind him(and run him out of Washington on a rail).

Dave: there's no independent support of your claim that Obama wrote in his 1992 book that he was born in Kenya. . .and don't give me Breitbart, freerepublic or PJM. . .those are partisan sites?

PS: your not responding to 'tracey hosmer's' facts. . .instead your going off topic. . .that's a no-no! Christie is NO angel. . .he's apolitical animal with ego and ambition?

tracey hosmer,

Wasn't it Bill Clinton who raised child literacy in Arkansas to 49th from 50th? You know the way it is with statistics.

It can't be denied that borat has spent more than all other previous presidents combined. There is nothing more to be said. Anyone would do a better job than the First Kenyan. We just can't afford to run leaderless and it looks like the people are with me...except the defectives among us.

You are steeped in envy and hatred for a successful American rather than a failed, possible, Kenyan.

Dave: right here is where you change the subject by talking about Bill Clinton, instead of acknowledging or refuting her claims about Romney with facts. He hasn't released his tax returns. Does have accounts in Cayman and Switzerland. State was 47th in job creation. . .you want to refute that?

tracey hummer,

When obama talks about raising taxes, democrats are all for it. When Christie raises a toll which hits all taxpayers equally, you fools are all against it. You should be cheering him as most of the money will end up in union workers hands.

Dave: here again you do the same thing. . .you don't acknowledge her facts as true or false and go off on another thread. . .this time where she talks about Christie...you talk about Obama?

Tracey, I do not understand why but every time I read about Christie I am reminded of the late Mayor Frank Hague but that cannot be. Hague was a far more honest government official.

Since Obama had the same name as his father, there might have been a typo by the publisher, or literary agent. None of those sites link to the actual document. . .so I really can't comment on something I have not seen? And why wasn't this bought up in 2008 campaign...from what I see on Internet,all comments seem to be this year?
