Chris Christie Threatens To Go ‘Jersey Style’ On Iowa If They Don’t Vote For Mitt Romney

video
» 83 comments

A few months ago, Saturday Night Live envisioned an aggressive NJ Gov. Chris Christie putting on his biggest show to get America to like Mitt Romney. With the Iowa caucuses less than a week away, life is now imitating art, as Christie yelled at an Iowa crowd today that if they dared not “do what you’re supposed to do on Tuesday,” he would be back. Presumably with some sort of vengeance.

How many politicians can get away with outright bullying people into doing things because he said so? Christie is part of a long tradition of rough-and-tumble New Jersey politicians who win hearts by berating them incessantly and busting the friendly politicians who steal all the state’s money. He did not modify himself at all for the Iowa audience, or for the typically mild-mannered Mitt Romney, instead letting the latter be himself while stumping for the candidate the only way he knows how: vowing to return to Iowa and let them know what he thinks if they don’t vote for his preferred candidate:

“New Jersey is watching you too. We’re watching you really closely and, listen, I want to tell you something really clearly. I’m in a good mood this morning. I’m feeling happy and upbeat. I love being with Mitt and Ann. But let me tell you, you people disappoint me on Tuesday, you don’t do what you’re supposed do to on Tuesday for Mitt Romney, I will be back. Jersey style, people, I will be back.”

    Does that mean “eat them”?

  • http://www.facebook.com/codemon Cody Hill

    Cowardly Christie, who wouldn’t enter the GOP presidential stakes himself, is just upset that the entire exercise (a very bad word in Chrissy’s book) wasn’t a steak; something he could sink his teeth into.

    Smart Christie, he realized he wasn’t qualified to run for the job.  Mitt, Newt, and the rest of that gang: not so smart.  There isn’t a qualified Republican period to run this year.

    For a guy who looks like Tony Soprano and from New Jersey, does that mean he will make a pair of cement shoes for anyone who does not vote for Romney.

    Romney has been running for President for the past 5 or 6 years, Ron Paul as well, so they have both lots of money and “boots on the ground.” 

    Obama’s campaign wants Romney as their opponent for a variety of reasons- among them, they will have their “surrogates” smear and besmirch Romney over being a Mormon (it will be a “who will rid me of this priest” moment and Obama will feign surprise and faux outrage while knowing that Axelrod/Plouffe had planned the attack for over a year). 

    Obama will taint Romney with Romneycare, saying that Obamacare was designed just like it.

    Axelrod/Plouffe will paint Romney’s business career as nothing more than Danny DeVito’s character in “Other People’s Money.” 

    Much of the things that will cast doubt on Romney’s candidacy have not previously been amplified, and Axelrod/Plouffe have been keeping their powder dry, but they are licking their chops to have Romney as the GOP candidate! And, they know that in a debate, they can push Romney’s buttons to make him have that sort of Eddie Haskell moment that he’s prone to have. It won’t be pretty.

    _________________________
    A Purebred Mormon ChickenHawk

    A blue ribbon ChickenHawk named Mitt
    Used every type deferment he could get
    To stay out of Viet Nam
    And avoid serving Uncle Sam
    For he supported the war, while he avoided it.

    Mitt’s daddy, George, was a purebred ChickenHawk
    Born in Mexico of good Mormon polygamous stock
    But when the Mexican war began
    These Mormons up and ran
    To adapt to the rest of their Salt Lake City flock.

    Mitt counter-protested those who stood against the war
    ‘Cause daddy taught him to avoid serving in The Corps
    Then a Mormon mission to France
    Insured there was no chance
    That little Mitt would ever have to face the bloody gore.

    When Mitt next became a world class neocon
    He made sure his five sons would carry on
    The Romney ChickenHawk bloodline
    With that yellow Mormon spine
    By avoiding fighting the followers of the Quran.

    So the next time you hear those loud war squawks
    When Mitt stands to give his Presidental talks
    Remember there’s nary a draftee
    In Mitt’s Mormon pedigree
    ‘Cause he’s from a line of purebred ChickenHawks!

    Nice try.  You should really work on the syntax and rhythm.

    And accuracy.  I served a mission for the Mormon church in the mid 70s.  I was required to register for the draft.  And believe me, deciding to serve a mission did NOT guarantee a deferment.  If you had bothered to do some actual fact-finding, you would have discovered that Mitt had a draft number that was about 100 points higher than the ones who were actually drafted.  The government would not have drafted him at all.  Period.  He would have had to enlist in order to serve there.

    And get real.  Almost no one served during that time who wasn’t drafted.  I know a few who enlisted just because they were convinced they would probably get drafted, and enlisting guaranteed them more control over where/when they went.  

    So B- on the limerick, and D- on accuracy.

    My question is: Who does this “Will not pass the buffet” think he is? Tactics like this should be washed down the sewer where all sickies should be washed. Chris Christie is way too full of himself to matter. I for one am greatly offended he acts as though he’s Mafia. And Romney should be ashamed of himself for not taking the task to himself and do his own dirty work. But then again, Romney is one of the also-runs who is on stage to belittle the president, while the “Do Nothing”, “No, Not now, Not ever “112th Congress has done everything they can to shut down any programs he or the Democratic party try to get passed. Those 25 million out of work are the result of this “Do Nothing”, “No, Not now, Not ever “112th Congress have yet to address the housing bubble, the trickery of the banks and mortgage houses and Wall Street continued traipsing through the tulips. Remember this “Do Nothing”, “No, Not now, Not ever “112th Congress has proven they are not worthy of re-election as they have done nothing about jobs and have sent through numerous anti-abortion bills in state houses and in Washington. many are running against Washington, when they are the problem in Washington. It is tantamount and expressly important that every registered voter in every state get involved in their state’s electoral process at every level, local, state and nationally, and make an effort to clean out the Toxic Erratic Activist(TEA) Party.

    It ain’t necessarily so, Titzy.  I think no matter who, of the current crop, becomes the Rep candidate, Obama will “clean their clocks” in both the debates and the general election.

    I couldn’t disagree more. Obama is both incompetent and inexperienced and has proved to be inadequate in all respects. Gingrich would show him up as an incompetent boob on economic and geo-political issues. Santorum, likewise. Romney, if unflustered, could show up Obama’s total lack of understanding of the economy.

    Obama’s election to the presidency was historic solely from the point of view of his race, but his presidency has been a disaster for the country economically, in foreign policy and has destabilized the world’s balance of power. He is a disaster. 

    We cannot afford four more years of this president and survive.

     Thanks for reading it!

    Within the limits of brevity, it’s very accurate. 
    Very rarely have I written a line more politically damaging than
    “Born in Mexico of good Mormon polygamous stock”
