Protecting Romney, Christie kills the messenger
Asked to weigh in on Mitt Romney's comments about not caring about 47 percent of Americans, Gov.

Protecting Romney, Christie kills the messenger
Matt Katz, Inquirer Staff Writer
Asked to weigh in on Mitt Romney's comments about not caring about 47 percent of Americans, Gov. Christie today went after the media.
Christie called in to a pro-Christie host on NJ101.5 FM to discuss New Jersey issues, but he was asked about the "media frenzy" over Romney's remarks:
"Some people in the media should just turn in their media credential and get an Obama For President credential the way they focus on things that people said back last May.
"Listen here’s what I know because I’ve spoken to Gov. Romney over the last number of years about what he believes. He believes that everybody in America should have skin in the game. Everybody should be part of the fair shared sacrifice. And he wants everybody to be able to have the opportunity to be able to lift themselves up and their families up and have economic opportunity to do that. He doesn’t believe that happens by making a bigger, more expensive, more bloated government which is what the president has done by adding $6 trillion in debt over the last four years...
"So it’s another one of those distractions that happens. I think you’ve got to keep your eye on the ball and talk about people’s futures, how we’re going to get people back to work in this country."
And, how to get Christie away from the buffet table...— Reno Domenico- "Some people in the media should just turn in their media credential and get an Obama For President credential..." --- True, so very true.— psyrus
- Why, because republicans can't handle the truth? Maybe romney should have checked where the majority of those not paying fed taxes live. They mostly live in red states. So Romeny is saying republicans are supposrting Obama? What a jerk. — mike l
- The gov's weight has nothing do with his ability to govern, neither does the president's skin color, or the secretary of state's gender. My voting against obama does not mean I'm racist, does your vote against christie make you a hater of obese people?— rmg154
- Why does every article that is ant-Christie have to mention his weight? Can't they think of anything intelligent to say?— rjw817
Again and again, we have mitt and his supporters explaining to us what mitt really meant to say......

Voting against Obama mean's your
A. A millionaire.
B. A victim of reich wing propaganda.
C. Spent the Bush years on drugs and have no recollection of him turning a surplus into a depression.
D. A Bigot.
E. Your terrible at math.
So which is it.— Bush Destroyed America - "Shoot the messenger". Too funny. Surprised Chrissy didn't eat the messenger. Can't eat the MESSAGE, blob can't handle the truth - too rich. Hey Chris - how's that budget going? Thought so......— CiceroSpuriousDeodatus
- Mitt's dopey followers are used to it. These are people that spend a lifetime doing this: Q: Jesus said "give unto Caesar". How as self-identified "christians" do you reconcile that with your anti-tax position? A: "Jesus MEANT to say was blah blah blah blah". Jesus said "easier to fit a camel in the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven", how do reconcile that with your all-rich-man-run party? A: What jesus MEANT was blah blah blah blah blah". So forth and so on. When you spend your life trying to explain blatantly idiotic positions, eventually you become like HAL (which, ironically, has the same personality as Mittens) and explode in a cataclysm of stupidity.— CiceroSpuriousDeodatus
- Except for Fox news I assume, since they are a " Fair and Balanced" news organization( insert laugh). The media is what you make of it. Use your own brain and do your own research. The media is an outlet not the final word.— ProudEagle
Comment removed.- More Libby lies..Typical Lib response: "you're not allowed to ask Barry anything or cover any problems he has for more than 5 seconds so you can say you did! You are allowed to hate on Republicans for everything and anything....Mantra: shut up, lie and pretend Barry never has said anything that didn't come true"...wow, that would be one way to shut the Libs up!!! LOL!!!
LIB MEDIA:
MSNBS
NBC
CBS
ABC
CNN
NPR
Comedy Central- they get their news from the two nuts who pretend to be comics!!
When was the last time you ever heard them go after Barry in any way close to the hate they roll on Mitt, etc. on exactly the same issue and even worse!!???
These Libs really do live in a world of major denial!!!— sarah89 - Comment removed.
- It really doesn't matter where the news came from - it is pretty clear what he said. The Governor may dislike the main stream media (the non Fox media) but trying to focus the attention on them does not change what Romney said.— MarkinSJ
- "The media is an outlet not the final word".
The problem is two fold. The Lib media ignores the issues with their folks: The many gaffes/lies/flips Obama had: "You didn't earn it", Bitter, Guns and God, Flip-Flop on: continuing the Bush policies, gay marriage, debt reduction, accusing someone of being a felon and a MURDERER, "shovel ready wasn't as shovel-ready as we thought"...HAHA!" And that doesn't even include 'ol Joe!!!If Chris or Romney had even done anything close to that the Lib media would be all over them...get a clue and get out of your denial and support of the treasonous guys like Brain Dead Williams and Anderson Vanderbilt are commiting! Forget Fox and MSNBS, these are the real felons!!!— sarah89
