Could Chris Christie Be The "New Flavor Of The Month"? Could He Inspire An Already Weak Field Of Clowns?


Bigger drags continue.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie would be the new "flavor of the month".

I mean how bad is the field if they allocate the attention on the controvers­ial governor.

President Barack Obama is vulnerable and can be defeated. But if [the GOP] continue to run candidates who are too polarized, they'll lose.

Some of the most unpopular positions from the Republican governors, the House of Representa­tives, and Tea Party movement created a stalled economy. And yet, it's President Barack Obama taking the blows for an ineffectiv­e government­. An ineffectiv­e leadership and not confrontin­g the Republican­s made him weak.

I don't know Christie could change the dynamics of a "PRETTY WEAK" field of candidates­, but let him bask in the limelight!

I rank this 112th Congress, a "Do Nothing Congress".

And should a Republican win the White House, assured that the activists on the left will make the new president suffer and we'll repeat the cycle of extremism yet again.

Paul: Tea parties won't rebuild GOP - Andy Barr - POLITICO.com

Paul: Tea parties won't rebuild GOP - Andy Barr - POLITICO.com

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) said Wednesday night that despite the groundswell of grass-roots conservative energy, the tea party movement is not likely to revive the Republican Party.

“I don't think you can talk about the tea party as a party,” Paul said during an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. “It’s made up of a lot of different people. And I don't even see them as being Republicans.”

“I think they're unhappy. They're unhappy with the establishment party. And that's made up of the Republicans and the Democrats,” Paul said. “If the Republicans don't catch on to that, they can't build their party.”

Paul is a favorite among the tea party crowd, but the former Republican presidential candidate suggested that the GOP should be wary of aligning themselves too closely to protesters who can be unpredictable in their actions and messaging.

Asked about a recent photo that has been widely circulated in the liberal blogosphere showing a prominent tea party organizer from Houston holding up a sign with incendiary racial language, Paul said the tea parties sometimes “act too angrily, and it doesn't come off well.”

“If they keep doing that, yes, it may not necessarily build the party,” Paul said.
