Don't EVER let Christie off ANY hook - he was Bernie Madoff's lobbyist.

[blm]

And as the lobbyist for a securities group headed by Bernie Madoff, Christie succeeded in getting securities fraud EXEMPTED from New Jersey's consumer fraud laws.

NEVER forget to bring this up EVERY TIME the media starts talking up Christie. THIS part of his resume is who he is at his core, and it serves no one to let that part of his resume get buried.

2. All I have to know about Chris Christie

is he responds to constituents he has pledged to serve by screaming "SHUT UP!"

I was done with him when he did that.

4. wake up

To the people of New Jersey, this man is going to screw you every chance he gets period. When Hurricane Sandy hit last year he did a great job for the people and in the back of his mind he knew it would help him. When someone takes education money away so he cab give tax breaks to his friends shame on him but shame on New Jersey if they reelect him.

5. That was the way I saw it, too. He was playing his cards right for later down the road.

You shouldn't do the right thing because you know it will benefit you personally.

6. Christie also 'bungled' a case that implicated Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.

Floorgraphics v. News America
NBC News
updated 7/21/2011 8:04:08 PM ET

Justice Department prosecutors are reviewing allegations that News Corp.’s advertising arm repeatedly hacked into the computers of a competitor in the United States as part of an effort to steal the rival firm’s business, according to a lawyer for the company.

Bill Isaacson, the lawyer for Floorgraphics, a New Jersey-based advertising firm, told NBC News he was contacted this week by two federal prosecutors and an FBI agent based in New York seeking information about claims that the firm’s computers were hacked by News America Marketing, the advertising division of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., seven years ago.

The allegations were first reported to the FBI in 2004 and prompted investigations at the time by the bureau, the Secret Service and the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice, according to documents obtained by NBC News and congressional correspondence...

FBI agents originally visited Floorgraphics’ offices to examine its computers in early 2004 — and the case was initially assigned to a prosecutor working for Chris Christie, then the U.S. attorney in New Jersey and now the state’s governor. But it’s unclear how far it was pursued; a company source told NBC that the FBI agent assigned to the matter later told the firm that agents were too busy at the time working on security for the 2004 Republican convention in New Jersey...
