    I figured Chris Christie would be politically smart to stay out of too much commentary on the race.......you know, keep himself relatively clean for a future national run.

    But recently, he's laid into Newt Gingrich with reckless abandon. Here is an abbreviated list what Chris Christie has said about Gingrich:

    http://bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2011/12/07/chris-christie-iowans-should-vote-for-candidate-who-would-not-embarrass-america/UPmGlF5U4CHMhAgzWSNvKI/story.html
    http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2011/12/01/chris-christie-slams-newt-gingrich/

    So Christie (1) compared Newt to an inexperienced legislator like Obama, (2) called Newt the flavor of the week, and (3) eluded to the fact that Newt has cheated on each of his previous wives and raised the spectre of a Clinton-Lewinsky type scandal if Newt were to become POTUS.

    Pretty nasty stuff. Who are you Tea Partiers siding with in this one?

    What do you think Christie's doing here? Angling for a spot with Romney? Just speaking his mind?

    Good for Christie.. I thought he would probably have something to say about Newt.

    Meanwhile this next debate should be a hoot.. It won't be for Gingrich or Santorum... It will be all about Trump's antics.

    I would have liked Christie at the top of a ticket, but at the bottom I think he's hurting Romney. Romney's downfall 4 years ago was his attacks and gutter politics style. If he goes that route again, he may not even make 2nd place this time around. The GOP is getting reminded about why they didn't like him.

    Where is the "trashes Gingrich" part?

    I'm calling false advertising here. Christie listed what Gingrich supporters already know........and apparently do not care. They still favor Gingrich over Romney.

    Christie has endorsed Romney. He is going to do his best to put some lipstick on the pig.

    Romney endorsed Christie in 2009 but I can't find any evidence that Newt did.

    Maybe this is Christie's chance to get even.

    As far as the attack on NEWT,wow he is the only experienced politican running against the other experienced politican Obama ,their politics may stink but they have experience in putrid decaying US national politics.

    better the putrid stinking Capitialist politican you know then the fascist you do not I say.

    I think what I'm hearing is....

    Hey, I don't like the guy.....I just like his chances. It's not about voting for what I believe in, it's about destroying what I hate.

    I've never seen so much backstabbing and personal attacks among Republicans.

    And whoever wins this cat fight will just stumble into the general election if this keeps up.

    Which must make you and the other libs posting on this thread very happy.

    But I continue to believe that any of the 3 leading Republicans are better than Obama.

    it only seems like backstabbing because its a field of fatally flawed candidates with the exception of Romney...

    so as soon as someone pulls ahead, people start reminding each other why he started at1%

    LOL ...... So when the Obama campaign called Bill Clinton racist back in '08 it was because he and the Hillary were fatally flawed?

    Hmmm.......based on the past 3 years, you may have something there.

    I am estatic and no Liberal ,what a demonstration of the true state of affairs in one of the foudation stones of US Imperialisms political struture ,happy :omg::-D couldn't have engineered a more divided stupid ,ignorant,backward .vicious and corrupt Capitialist political opposition to Communism if I had done it myself.

    Before breaking up old political structures must have internal divisions imagine the even worse senario for capitialism in the unUSA ,and what if NEWT actually wins the Election?

    Please the great continum of history ,please NEWT as President of the most socially divided and economically divided Nation on the Planet.

    I would like to see that ,Sarah Palin for Vice-Pres ,not likelt to spark Class War on the streets of the unUSA.:-D

    With political liabilities like a collapsing economy ,failing War in Afghanistan ,and total subservience to the IMF and rating agencies ,whoever wins won't have the traditional 'Honeymoon period'but will have to hit the road running .

    Are the Tea-Party \Republican Party co-alition up to the Job against the armed Proletariet trapped in the USA?

    I don't think so and they can't think.

    HAPPY ain't the word ESTATIC ,Can't wait ,looking forward,pursued and achieved Happiness ,cricky I am almost GAY even [gay as in gaiety],Optimistic for the prospect of Revolutionary upheaval.

    Love the Dialectical Nature of it all ,you can ignore the Dialectic of History but the problem is it will not ignore you.

    Can't have a revolution unless the old worn out corrupt political structures collapse and fail.Can you?????????????

    happy AND i AIN'T NO LIBERAL rIGHT WING PETTY -BOURGOIS [middle class capitialist amby pamby politican ]

    Me,Proletariet Globalist Politican . [Working Class Revolutionary ]

    HAPPY ,no, Bloody ESTATIC!

    With memories of James P Cannon on my mind.

    Eugene Debs ,Bill Hayward and the IWW,Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath",and the magnificent explosive tradition of struggle against US Capitialism by the Proletariet[workers in the USA,not "of" trapped "in" the USA]

    NEWT and co ,vs a militant pissed off Proletariet YES PLEASE ,and with a completely divided Republican \Tea Party.

    It's primary politics. Hillary did the same to Obama in December of 2007. People in both parties do and say things to get ahead of the other candidates.

    Liberals have short memories or are intellectually dishonest to think it only happens in the GOP.

    A simple test..
    Would trust your Newt with your 30 old daughter on a working 3 day weekend in Europe..
    Or with Romney ?
    Better know the history.

    30 year old daughter?

    I think I would place trust in my daughter to have enough taste and sense to stay away from hanging out with either of them.

    it just shows what gingrich will get in the future - the media and the citizens will be swayed away from policy by personal conduct - in this day and age, none of that stuff is allowed really unless you can speak very well
