From one RINO to another….

In the above video, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie goes after Republican House Speaker John Boehner for among other things not taking his phone call.

While we understand Christie’s frustration and escalation in what is obviously a personal vendetta between the two men, as so often happens, much was left unsaid. For example the fact that the proposed bill was also chock full of pork spending such as:

• $150 million in funding for fisheries in Alaska,
• $5.3 billion to the Army corps of engineers,
• $56.8 million for charting the debris from last year’s Japanese tsunami,
• $100 million for the federal Head Start day care program,
• $20 million for a nationwide “water resources priorities study”,
• $4 million for the … Kennedy Space Center?

And others. Some more from the Weekly Standard:

I grow tired of Christie’s histrionics. He obviously lacks discipline and restraint looking at him not getting his own way and his obesity.

The voters of New Jersey may accept this type of conduct, but I won’t if he chooses to run for the Presidency.

Day By Day by Chris Muir

Chris, you remember the story and the saying President Ronald Reagan used to tell on the stump:

“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”

The same here with Hurricane Sandy.

Folks are seeing first hand that “Big Government” even in Blue States is not always the answer to their problems.

On the other hand, Governor Chris Christie who was sketchy for re-election as New Jersey Governor may be winning favor with his constituents.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Florida U.S. Senator Marco Rubio

The National Journal has one of its Political Insiders polls up and this time it is the Presidential race in 2016.

GOP insiders:

• Marco Rubio 40%
• Jeb Bush 27%
• Paul Ryan 9%
• Rick Santorum 9%
• Chris Christie 8%

Democratic insiders:

• Jeb Bush 47%
• Chris Christie 28%,
• Marco Rubio 13%

And, we all know that if Hillary Clinton wants the Democratic nomination that she will be the nominee.

What do I envision?

A Hillary Clinton vs. Jeb Bush race.
