Chris Christie, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich...

Their weight is not what makes them horrible people. It's the things they say and do.

Please keep that in mind the next time you bash them for their weight.

There are some overweight people who are liberal, Dem, atheist, gay, feminist, etc.

Well aware of my weight and that its not healthy. The odd thing is I easily quit cigarette smoking and drinking years ago like it was nothing. But continuing with a healthy diet and exercise routine has probably been the biggest challenge of my life.

You wrote what I was about to say almost word for word!

I've been in recoovery from alcoholism for 22 years. I was purely a social amoker (like at bars and parties) or stress smoker (like during finals week at school). I stopped smoking 3 weeks after I stopped drinking.

The junk foods and sweets? STRUGGLE!

I'm a fat left of center Democrat. limbooger, christie and grinch would be total asses if they had 28 inch waistlines instead of 28 inch watchbands.

PEACE!

I've managed to lose over 20 lbs and keep it off, but it's the other 50 that has been giving me fits.

While gluttony isn't the only cause of obesity, it would seem to figure in the weights of the Corpulent Trio, especially Christie. That guy looks like he's closing in on the big 500. I wonder if he can still clasp his hands in front of himself. I know he hasn't been able to fold his arms in years.

They're all ticking medical time bombs.
