apples and oranges

Has our side ever acted this childish over a democrat praising a republican??

Obama was DOA until Christie decided to “John Roberts” us on the beach.


So, my theory, the cost for Christie’s betrayal was much less than 30 pieces of silver...it was a promised phone call from Bruce Springsteen.


Looks like the Dems have their new McCain.


I am sure that N.J. Gov. Chrissy swallowed.


His body language has made him seem like a child in a fat man's body. Around the POTUS, Christie looked dependent!


Chrissy is probably SWOONING!! He looked like a FAT KID tailing Obama.....what a BAD JOKE he’s turned out to be.


EXACTLY!! Especially with his white tennis shoes....he made Obama look like an ADULT for the first time!!

the Pres to help the people.

i don't think of us attacked any Dem governors or other leaders during these type of disasters for working with a republican to help the people.

And the answer is yes we were all outraged by lieberman's support of Bush.

I'm pretty sure that creep would disagree with you though. Lieberman saw his support for Bush as mandated by the disaster of 9-11 and the Glorious War that followed.

If Lieberman firmly believed that outing Saddam Hussein was an endeavor worth thousands of American lives and a trillion dollars of our money, regardless of what weapons Saddam had or didn't have, he should've defended that position.

There's no defense for lying to the country to get us into a war, none whatsoever. And by the time Ned Lamont was running against him in 2006, it was completely obvious that Bush had done that.

But what an asshole.

A stenchy one.

because the person doing the praising was actually wrong. We attacked Lieberman because he was a warmonger.
I don't think we've done personal attacks.

in trying to use the hurricane for their own benefit.

this is why Christie has been so open in his praise of Obama. it didn't come out of no where or just about being respect.

Politicians, for sure. But not that same kind of politician that Romney is. I think we can all agree that we've never seen the likes of Romney before. Someone who would say and do absolutely anything, even bald faced lie, to win. No character.

Lieberman stands out because he was the fucking VP candidate and you'd expect just a liiiittle more allegiance after that.
