NKENY, Iowa -- New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) got into a heated exchange with a skeptical voter who accused the presidential candidate of being anti-gun during a town hall on Saturday, citing New Jerseys tough gun control laws.
Responding to the man, who did not identify himself but mentioned he was part of the Iowa Gun Owners organization, Christie defended his record, refuting every claim the voter mentioned, and, at times, even raising his voice.
He's a real pistol isn't he !!!
But he just can't get enough of those wingers to love him the way he thinks they should.

(29,753 posts)Loved how it was centered around the TV station SCTV. Edith Prickly, Johnny La Rue, wonder if we can get the old 90 minute show anywhere. Classic comedy.

(2,650 posts)Growing up close to Detroit we were able to pull in CBC channel 9 in Windsor and catch great shows like SCTV.
Pre-ESPN .. between the CBC (Hockey Night in Canada, Olympics...) and channel 50 in Detroit we got our sports fix.

(50,323 posts)Christie must have noticed how Trump's numbers keep going up and up and up the more bellicose he becomes. Christie needs to get on that debate stage. Maybe gun guy was a Christie plant to give Christie his chance to mimic the Donald and see his poll numbers rise.

(3,426 posts)Chris Christie here folks;
Take a look at what my pal has to say about the subject matter. One thing I can tell you is he needs to get fitted for contacts ,those glasses make him appear hideous. And I'll tell you something else ,he's like one of those New England Patriots shuffling around in the field try'en to avoid been taken down but he is sure with his deflated ball he can get a failed pass off and somehow in a lop sided way get it over on it .

Listen folks ,it's the stupid mistakes that gets them caught. Now I am very much better equipped to out manuniver such a question under fire than he.
Look folks ,if you think you need to carry a gun to go out and see a movie, than it may be better you find entertainment someplace where you don't feel the need to arm yourself . Or simply stay home, rent a flick or something.
See how easy that is folks, I am not really answering the question from any particular position in it ,although it may appear as though I am leaning both ways on the issue. This is the art of political maneuvering which I have mastered, along with bait and switch and bait and trap. What goes without saying it seems as though my opinion is more about sensible gun ownership.
Now of course I will get yeas and nays about it, same as I did when I delivered my ever notorious Jersey husky hug to president Obama when he came calling after the hurricane. You see folks all the journalists know that the lucky break they seek is all about being in the right place at the right time, that unbelievable career making scoop. In the dirty business of politics there is more to it than simply being there.
Well I delivered my Jersey husky hug and the nay sayers watched my popularity soar .But than it plunged ,and thats politics.
They say history repeats itself. Well when they were reviewing Albert Ernestine's contributions in picking one for his Nobel prize, by that time he had made so many of them ,they decided to pick a number of his seemingly lesser contributions and thus awarded the prize.
His contributions were in abundance.
So I suppose if and when they get me, it will no doubt be a few of the lesser dastardly deeds I have done over the years in my political career. More stupid than stupid mistakes. Yes let me make this abundantly clear, more stupid than stupid mistakes.
But really I think I am smarter than that.
And let me bring this to perfect clarity;
I am not a crook. !

Thats all folks ,

And if those people out there in the town halls would realize that it's always all about me and what I got to say in the limited amount of time I got to divide ,I wouldn't have to go off on it the way I do, It's not my fault.
And tree huggers are always welcome !
