Already 17 Times More Coverage on Christie Scandal Than in Last Six Months of IRS

two topics


1. the media

2. the government

#1 I assume nobody takes the media seriously anymore

#2 I don't want to turn this country over to my children with a Chris Christie vindictive government in control

Two scandals. One involved a couple of traffic jams. Annoying yes, but part of urban life. The other involved use of the IRS to punish and harass political opponents. Most p[eople not involved in the media or democrat politics would agree that is a direct threat to our form of government and Constitution. Certainloy those were among the fevered claims made by democrats when Nixon wass accused of the same thing, albeit on a far smaller scale.

The chief executives in both scandals basically argued that they had no responsibility. If anything had been done wrong, it was the work of lower level staffers. Obama has pivoted several times on the IRS scandal, first ignoring it, then denouncing it , then going back to denying there even was a scandal. Christie at least said there was wrongdoing in his situation and fired some people.

The media accepted obama's ignorance defense at face value. They made no attempt to investigate connections between the WH and the IRS Commsisioner or the thugs involved, like Lois Lerner.

The reaction to Christie was the exact opposite. The media had a field day mocking his denials. They have pronounced him dead politically over a traffic jam. Obama is not even forced to address the far bigger IRS scandal.

And they wonder why people are no longer reading newspapers or watching the evening news and are flocking to Fox News?

AAA and those cartoons sum it up pretty well. The fat guy takes responsibility and takes action.

Obama...well...not so much.

I've been wondering why the extremist left wing MSM has been so anti-Christie. IMO he's yet another "moderate", very much along the lines of McCain and all the rest. If by some miracle he gets in the Oval Office, you can bet government will be bigger by the time he leaves and so will the national debt. Seems hard to believe that anybody thinks that "Oh, this time around, some weasly moderate is just the ticket to victory!"

But I guess that's the current thinking:

JFC. This country is so screwed.

It's not so much that the media are anti-Christie as they are pro-Hillary. They see Christie as the biggest threat to Hillary, so when they see a chance to possibly drive a stake through his heart, they take it.

I didn't like his chances to get the nomination even before this scandal. He's basically a northeastern liberal republican, and they don't play too well in republican primaries. However, the last two nominees were basically moderates, so who knows. If the conservatives manage to split their vote, the fat man might have a chance to slip in, like McCain did.

The wild card is the republican party might look a lot different by 2016. Boehner and the amnesty lobby might provoke a walkout by the Tea party, with devastating results for the republicans. Christie probably could get the nomination for the RINO party, but who cares. It's not like they could win more than a handful of states against a Tea Party candidate and Hillary.
