Are You Willing To Forgive New Jersey Dems Who Backed Christie, If...

they roll over on him now?

Seems like a great opportunity to get this particular monkey off their backs.

Or is the threat of corruption way too deep for that?

We have a situation here in San Diego where those who voted for Filner are feeling most shamed. But vindication comes with getting back to work and taking back the House. You can work phone banks from anywhere in the country so telling my you live in a district with a Dem rep is not enough! Get to work. And thanks.

need to be part of the solution because they are a big part of the problem.

Who are they anyway? Are they no different than self-serving Gop'ers?

Would they actually be called Dems if they lived in a different state?

Christie blesses those who do his bidding, and punishes those who do not.

Envision this scandal never coming to light, and Chris Christie becoming the Republican nominee in 2016.

The Jersey Dems who played ball with Christie might get a ticket to D.C. if he were to win.

And in order for him to win... you would have Dems undermining Dems in order to attain the White House.

So I'd say it goes WAY beyond New Jersey.

Christie becomes the ReThug nominee!

I will never forgive Democrats who vote for ReThugs no matter what their reason is. It's disgusting. They do not deserve to be Democrats. Period!
