If you're a Repub governor and there's a traffic jam in your state the media will be on you like a pack of hounds. But if you're a Dem who takes bribes everyone will agree to move on.:peace


[h=2]Double Standards[/h] The Scrapbook continues to scratch its head over the barrels of ink spilled over the Chris Christie bridge scandal. It’s well worth reporting, but none of the Christie revelations to date justify the flood-the-zone coverage. So you’ll forgive us for suspecting that Christie’s ...

Christie created a traffic jam for political purposes. He attacked his own citizens for personal gain. That's far, far worse than anything any Democrat ever has done.

You have evidence Christie did that? Really? You should share it with investigators.:roll:

Worse than anything any Democrat has done? Really? Worse than Jefferson Davis committing treason and starting a terrible war to defend slavery?:shock:

And what about the OP?:peace

Well Chistie is not just another Republican Governor, he is one who has eyes on the White House. If any of those Democrats had visions of running for the President of the United States, the press would be all over them like horse flies on a meadow melon. You also need to realize the barriers inconvenienced a lof of people. No double standard!

As I feared, your agreement is beyond my reach.:lol:

Do you wanna rephrase that? Obviously Democrats have committed murder.
 
This was the Weekly Substandard's example:

The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office ran an undercover sting operation over three years that captured leading Philadelphia Democrats, including four members of the city’s state House delegation, on tape accepting money, The Inquirer has learned. Yet no one was charged with a crime. Prosecutors began the sting in 2010 when Republican Tom Corbett was attorney general. After Democrat Kathleen G. Kane took office in 2013, she shut it down.

Because obviously the most well-known governor in the country and four Philadelphia city officials are the same, and merit the same coverage.

A more logical comparison to Christie would be Rod Blagojevich, who was in the press a ton when he got in trouble.

LOL !!

Oh BS ! How about causing a Sub-Prime Collapse that had world wide financial implications ?

Democrats claimed the standards that kept the mortgage industry solvent for decades were innately "racist" so the passed laws to lower those standards and then extorted Banks and lenders for BILLIONS of dollars. ( Still happening )

They corrupted the GSEs and continued to defend them as Fannie and Freddie committed unprecedented Securities fraud until they finnaly went bankrupt

How about what they did to Detroit ? Electing one corrupt Liberal after another as they ran that City into the ground. Kwame Kirkpatrick's " Hoe Party's " and his "loans" to make up the City Budget shortfalls.

Now they have to dedicate 1/3 of their City's budget to pay off those loans. Seems like they could use some police officers out thers.

Maxine Waters, funneling 12 Million of TARP to a bank her husband held stock in. Oh her husband was on the board.

Hillary Clinton telling the parents who lost their sons in Benghazzi that " We are going to arrest and prosecute the man that made that video " when she knew it was a terrorist attack all along.

Now thats just sub-human.

All the promises that were lies that were used to sell the ACA so people could lose their coverage and then have to pay significantly more for a replacement policy.

The IRSs Lois Lerner first admitting toTargeting of Conservative groups, then lying about "rogue agents in Cinci" and then taking the Fifth 24 Consecutive times in front of a House Committee.

The Democrats are fundamentally corrupt almost beyond measure.

You forgot ACORN stole the elections.
 
... The Democrats are fundamentally corrupt almost beyond measure.

To the extent any of your examples actually occurred, they are trivial compared with an elected official's targeting of his own constituents to further his own political interests. That's what Christie did. He said, a single individual, matter more than the tens of thousands who were inconvenienced and even threatened by his callous and depraved act.
 
You have evidence Christie did that? Really? You should share it with investigators.:roll:

And what about the OP?:peace

I don't think the South thought of the war as treason. I think they thought they were within their rights so it's not the same thing as what Christie did.

So you possess evidence that it was Christie that called for the traffic closures ?? Or that he was aware it was being done ? Because you haven't shown any yet

No one cares whether the traitor thought he committed treason, and 600,000 dead trump all.:peace

Understanding the mind of the criminal helps us establish his depravity. Clearly, Christie knew he was inconveniencing, and possible threatening the lives of, his own constituents whom he was sworn to serve.

Based on what I've seen I'm convinced he did it.

Except he didn't know anything about it. In any case your argument is absurd, and will henceforward be treated as such.:peace

You mean all the witnesses who have come forward? Oh... There hasn't been any...

You must mean the all the emails, texts and documents then? Crap, none of those either...


So what exactly is it that you've seen?

The squirming of a bullying official who is known to have complete control of his office. He can't blame his minions because everyone knows Christie was the boss.

It's pretty revealing that you had to go back 150 years to find a dem doing something worse than what Christie did

yes yes....you still seem to think that if Jefferson Davis were alive today he would be a Democrat because you still have no idea what you are talking about.

There were other choices. I was just thinking along that line because of a couple of recent threads I've started in the History subforum.:peace
 
He was a Dem.
and would be a Republican today....that is my point you can't compare a 19th century democrat with one today. The party has changed.
But you still think Democrat=liberal....so.....

We're talking about an unproven accusation. We're also talking about a lane closure. Do you really think you'd have to go back 150 years to find an unproven or proven accusation against a Democrat that's more serious than a lane closure? seriously?
