| TRENTON — For a man who championed the Republican brand as keynote speaker at its national convention last year, Gov. Chris Christie has been spending a lot of time making nice with Democrats. Most famously, Christie was complimentary of Democratic President Barack Obama’s response to superstorm Sandy just before last year’s election. He then almost as famously ripped House Speaker and fellow Republican John Boehner about playing politics with federal storm aid. Early on, his re-election campaign has consisted of endorsements by two unions and two Democratic mayors, as well as fundraisers in Hollywood and Silicon Valley.

Yes, Christie is certainly Leftist Lite. (Though using the word "lite" in the same sentence with Christie is a contradiction.) He is pro-government, pro-nanny state, and pro-Christie (first and foremost)

An adequate VP if a genuine, nonrove nonbush conservative were to head the ticket.
A thoroughly dangerous man if he chose to run as a democrat.

Chris Christie and Rudy Giuliani being considered "moderate" shows how incredibly successful the 2 mainstream parties have been in moving us ever leftward over the past 50 years or so.

christie´s pathetic keynote speech at the GOP Convention where he talked exclusively about himself confirmed that he is just a big fat liberal. Liberals, notably, zippy and his wifey, think of everything in terms of themselves. That´s because liberals rarely advance beyond a mental age of 7 --- the age of reason.

He handed Obama the election with the Sandy flyover. I believe in retaliation for not being picked VP. He will never get my vote for President.

Christie is not sound on Islam. He thinks it is absurd and bigoted for Americans to have any concern whatsoever about Muslim judges in American courts.
As much as anything, he is notorious for his bad manners and rude behavior towards people he doesn´t like. Now the Leftist mainstream media seems to be hyping him. The whole business is very strange.
This is not the man to lead the Republicans out of the political wilderness. That anyone would so much as dream of such a thing is a symptom of the trouble we are in.
"The political middle," of course, is a euphemism for liberal and Leftist values. When Leftists use words, the words mean precisely what they choose them to mean. In Leftspeak, terms like "compromise" and "bipartisan" have meanings not found in the dictionary. The same applies to "moderate" and "the political middle."
Oddly, just about everyone but the Leftists themselves recognizes these alternative meanings perfectly well.

The problem is that the "middle" today is compromising with outright Marxism. "A little leaven spoils the whole lump" comes to mind.
Leftists are happy to get "compromise" from "moderates". Because it still assures their agenda will continue to march on even if little by little. They´re content to take small steps when their control is limited and big leaps when they have the power. What they like about Obama is he is the first outright Marxist as president. And they are determined to push as hard as needed.....whether constitutional or even unlawful. Until we accept this fact the nation is doomed.

For those of you not familiar with Joisey newspapers - - The Record is an ultra-extreme leftist rag - - possibly even to the left of the NY Times.
It makes the old Soviet Pravda and Castro´s Granma seem neutral and honest by comparison.
Just so you know.

What´s not to like about "New Jersey Fats"? Agrees with 98% of the Democrat Governor of New York´s policy positions, thinks having radical Islamist judges in "The Garden State" is "groovy" and enjoys the 100% backing of Uncle Karl, who says he "can´t miss" in 2016.

The funny thing is, all he has to do is see the path "blazed´ by John McCain to understand how this all works.
He´s the darling of the elite media as long as he´s there to scold the conservatives. As soon as he possibly threatens a Democrat for national office, inevitably the headlines and elite media talking points will echo "What happened to the Christie (I, We, All, Everyone, etc.) Loved? Chris Christie has moved to the hard right to the disappointment of many."

A major tea party group is planning protests at Internal Revenue Services nationwide Tuesday following revelations earlier this month that the tax agency had flagged organizations with the words "tea party" or "patriot" for additional scrutiny.The protests were originally scheduled only for Cincinnati, where the IRS has said employees responsible for the targeting were based. But Tea Party Patriots head Jenny Beth Martin tells Whispers she received requests to protest across the country. A call to action on the group´s web site tells supporters that "the IRS is out of control" and so

President Obama will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in California on June 7-8, the White House announced Monday. It will be Mr. Obama’s first meeting with Mr. Xi since he became president of China in March. They previously met in Washington in 2011 when Mr. Xi was vice president. The talks come amid heightened U.S. tensions over cyberattacks reportedly originating in China. But the Obama administration said it has been pleased with Beijing’s cooperation in trying to persuade North Korea to reduce its belligerent military actions this spring.

The Indiana attorney general’s office confirmed Monday it is investigating a security breach in which Social Security numbers and other personal information were posted online for roughly 44,000 low-income Americans who applied for a federal program that provides discount Internet and phone service. The program was nicknamed the “Obamaphone” during the 2012 election, though it actually started long before President Obama took office. Indiana reportedly has the highest number of applicants, roughly 17,400, who were signed up by TerraCom Inc. and the affiliated YourTel America Inc. Applicants from at least 26 states were exposed to the security breach,

WASHINGTON- Apple Inc. has used an elaborate web of offshore subsidiaries to avoid paying billions of dollars in U.S. taxes on $44 billion in foreign income over the past four years, a Senate investigation has found. Many of the tactics, such as cost-sharing arrangements, are common among large multinational corporations seeking to shift profits to countries with lower tax rates. The investigation did not find Apple violated any laws.But three of its subsidiaries in Ireland claim to have no responsibility to pay income taxes to any country, according to a 40-page, bipartisan report released Monday

Monday afternoon, ABC News released a chilling report that details what journalists have faced while trying to get some answers from the Cincinnati IRS office, which is where a majority of the Tea Party targeting took place. According to ABC, an "armed uniform police officer with the Federal Protective Service" "escorted" reporters through the public building. ABC says if the intent wasn´t to "scare off" employees who might talk, "it was the effect." ABC News is also hearing conflicting reports from Cincinnati IRS employees and the IRS Headquarters in Washington.

CINCINNATI- Few workers know the IRS Cincinnati office better than Bonnie Esrig, who worked there for 24 years. She retired from her job as a senior manager in January. Esrig said she did not recall any discussion of politics in the office. "Politics and religion were things people generally didn´t talk about at work," she said. Esrig did not work on political cases and was not connected to the applications at the center of the controversy. But she worked in the same office where fewer than 200 people were dealing with 73,000 applications for exemptions last year.

On her blog this afternoon, Fox News’ On the Record host Greta Van Susteren wrote that the Department of Justice should feel “lucky” they did not hack into her emails like they did with her colleague James Rosen several years ago. While that sounds like a veiled threat against the DOJ, Van Susteren was actually making a joke about how her personal email account mostly contains correspondence and information regarding her sick dog named Audrey: Had Justice hacked into my personal email account this weekend, they would have had to sort through all the emails from the vet

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

So actually asked CNN´s Candy Crowley of her guest Sen.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement
