The problem with Chris Christie

[Broadsword]

I guess if you're the poster-child for gluttony and avarice, 2012 just isn't a good year for you to run.

The next time that fat f&ck opens his mouth to denigrate #OWS or the President, please keep this in mind:

At the end of the day Chris Christie is a coward with a very, very big mouth.

K&R if you agree.

[quinnox]

1. ouch, my eyes are burned

Not exactly a pleasant image.

[ecstatic]

2. I'm not sure this will go well, but

I laughed. lol

[WI_DEM]

3. While I don't agree with making points with people's body size

I do agree that he has a big mouth and sounds like he is auditoning for a role on 'The Soprano's' most of the time. I also think that given people's prejudice about weight that if he actually did run he would have a hard time winning. It's like all the studies which show that despite how talented or how much experience a heavier person has they will often not get a job if up against a equally talented (or maybe even not as talented) slimmer person.

4. Bigger concern: Chris Christie was the lawyer who lobbied for securities fraud to be exempted

from NJ's consumer fraud laws, and he did so, successfully, for his financial industry clients that included Bernie Madoff.

Christie and 99% of the GOP would make sure securities fraud is never part of federal consumer fraud laws.

[rfranklin]

12. thanks for pointing that out...I live in NJ and did not know that...

another nail to pound into his oversized coffin.

[blm]

13. Every Dem should mention this every time Christie opens his mouth.

[immoderate]

5. It's his mouth, else he's a bypass away from being president.

He'll be portrayed by Sylvester Stallone in a fat suit (pre-operative.)

Remember, Jerry Nadler was twice his size.

--imm

[Broadsword]

7. Yeah, but Nadler wasn't corrupt to the core.

I guess that's my point. It's not his weight, it's the content of his character.

[immoderate]

10. Nadler is one of our best, and always was.

What we can agree on:

Scumbags come in all sizes.

--imm

[rocktivity]

39. And Nadler finally found the character to DO something about his weight

44. Because only those with character

are slim.

Really?

Only in this society are fat people considered repulsive and drug addicts are revered for weeks after their deaths.

[rocktivity]

52. Because character is a useful ingredient

in helping you face the fact that you have a potentially fatal addiction, after which you can take the next step: figuring out what to do about it.

6. The problem with Chris Christie

Big Mouth, Big Gut, Big Ass, big ego small dick, no brains!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

8. He's like the fat-ass spectator in the stands calling out the players for foul balls

and making mistakes. Truth is, his fat-ass couldn't dribble the fucking ball himself.

Christie talks a lot of shit from the sidelines, but he's far too cowardly to jump in the game.

[Goblinmonger]

15. Skinny people never do that? n/t

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

19. If you read the OP, I'm certain that it isn't a dig at fat people but being facetious.

As a "fat-ass" myself, I didn't take offense and didn't mean to offend.

[Dreamer Tatum]

27. Speak for yourself, then.

It's totally a dig at fat people. You're just willing to accept otherwise.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

30. O.K., I guess that's right. Why didn't you report the thread if it's so offensive?

[Dreamer Tatum]

31. I've since learned that fat hatred is endorsed on DU.

If not encouraged altogether.

[FarLeftFist]

9. The problem with Christie running for President is the whole 'running' part.

[MineralMan]

11. I do not agree.

Fat Fuck is not an acceptable expression on DU, or has never been in the past, at least. Christie is a Republican asshole. His weight is not the reason for that.

Please don't do this on DU.

[Broadsword]

17. Isn't it?

Gluttony results in girth. Greed knows no bounds.

Think of it this way. I'm not making fun of all fat people, or implying that all fat people are made fat by their failings.

Christie, however...you can draw a line from his greed right to his mouth.

[Jennicut]

21. Weight has nothing to do with one's morals or politics.

My aunt gained weight recently. She was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Christie could have lots of health factors that make it harder for him to control his weight. I take insulin as a diabetic, makes it hard to lose any weight. Who knows with Christie? His politics are enough to attack him with. Going after someone's weight is just so...Republican.

[Broadsword]

23. Pretty sure that it's...

I'm pretty sure that it's not hypothyroidism. I am pretty sure it's a penchant for filet mignon, creamed spinach, bread and booze. And not in that order.

Here he is about 20 years ago:



His weight is totally fair game. It belies his philosophy, and his weaknesses.

[laundry_queen]

48. With all due respect

bullshit.

I was thin as a teen.

I also skipped meals and exercised obsessively - so much so I wore out my knees and wrecked my feet and ankles.

I have PCOS. Had it as a teen. At some point, probably when I was pregnant with my first child, I gave up trying to be anorexic (and look normal) and just started eating normally. The weight piled on, especially after I started on anti-depressants. I'm also severely insulin resistant - that means I gain fat easily and I'm famished all of the time - on a normal diet. The only thing that helps with that is eating low carb, which I've been doing since Nov and I've lost no weight (but at least I"m not starving, and shaking 2 hours after a meal anymore). It has nothing to do with character or gluttony. The average obese person eats no more than the equivalent of a extra piece of bread per day of a normal-weight person. I'd hardly call an extra piece of bread a day 'gluttonous'.

If we are going to judge people on their 'weaknesses' then we have to include drugs and sex addictions in that.

[CTyankee]

26. I suspect that insulin is why my s.i.l. has become so obese.

And she keeps getting fatter.

She was never heavy as a kid or as a teen (she was a cheerleader!). She really started getting heavy after she was diagnosed with diabetes. But her husband is diabetic as well and he is somewhat lean. I can't understand why if they both take insulin that one is so heavy and the other not...

[Jennicut]

32. From personal experience, it effects some people differently.

I have never been obese like Chris Christie. But to maintain my current weight I must stick to 1400 cals a day. Anything over that and I can gain 5 pounds quickly. I have had type 1 diabetes for 7 years now and have talked to so many different people about taking insulin. Some people have no reactions to it and others detest having to take it because of the weight gain some people get with taking it. Of course, it saves my life everyday so what else can you do?

[CTyankee]

34. that is awful! I so wish there were better choices for you and my s.i.l.

It shouldn't be the case that you have to do this!

[Goblinmonger]

14. There are many reasons to hate Christie.

Being fat shouldn't be one of them. We should be better than this.

[Broadsword]

16. I think his weight is reflective of his morality.

He's greedy, gluttonous. Not just for food, either.

[Goblinmonger]

18. Wow.

Don't even know what to say.

[Broadsword]

20. How about...

"You're right". If you think there's no connection between his greed and his girth, think again.

[Goblinmonger]

22. So fat people are all greedy.

Got it.

[Broderick]

24. sigh eh?

[Broadsword]

42. No.

I said Chris Christie is greedy, and the way it manifests itself in Chris is in his girth. Nobody said anything about ALL fat people, did they.

[Iggo]

43. .

[mac56]

54. You are unbelievable.

[CTyankee]

25. He has a serious health problem. He may be bitter about it and that is why

he acts so mean and bullying. I know I would be if I had his problem...

I hope he seeks help before it is too late. He's a walking coronary in the making...

[AtomicKitten]

28. Christie is a beg fella (morbidly obese).

It's not his fat ass that is objectionable, it's his bombastic ass. He has zero class.

[MilesColtrane]

29. There are plenty of ways to put down the Jerk From Newark without harping on his...

Bada-Bing Badonkadonk.

[spanone]

33. bad form

[rocktivity]

36. An addiction is an addiction is an addiction

whether it's to alcohol, sex, drugs, hoarding, smoking, murder, or food.

Christie is so overweight he's considered morbidly obese. Food does not play a proper role in either his psyche or his life, and I'd hesitate to vote for him even if he were a Democrat because the pressures of being the leader of the free world would most likely make him eat even more.


rocktivity

[a la izquierda]

37. I'm not in the habit of criticizing anyone's size, ever...

I will say that he has an obnoxious attitude and a big mouth.

[tblue37]

38. I am not as heavy as Christie, but I am definitely fat.

I suppose I must be a waste of oxygen.

[laundry_queen]

50. Ditto

and I'm greedy, gluttonous, and weak in addition to being a waste of oxygen.

Remind me again why this view is tolerated here, of all places?!?

[mac56]

41. Tasteless, insensitive, misinformed, and unnecessary.

There is plenty to dislike about Christie without resorting to those sorts of comments.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

45. Agree.

But it's the new disheartening DU.

[Logical]

47. I agree, but the failed Jury system will allow it to stand because people act 10 year old!

[Logical]

46. Thanks for showing you are 10 years old! Do your parents know you are posting online?

[Terra Alta]

51. Chris Christie is an asshole.

His weight has nothing to do with that fact.

Would you call Michael Moore a "fat f&ck" as well?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

53. Bigoted asshole OP is planted & rotting.
