As with Ann Romney’s speech, my internet connection was iffy with Governor Christie’s speech.
What struck me the most about his remarks was when he said, “Mitt Romney will tell us the hard truths we need to hear.”
The question, of course, is if the American electorate ready to handle the hard truth.

Does Romney know what the truth is? Obama sure does not. How did the tub of lard do? I could not see the speech because of previous commitments.
spike59| 8.29.12 @ 6:44AM
i get it...he's fat! thanks for the update; btw, you;re an idiot...now here's the thing-with diet and exercise, he could become slim and trim. you, however, are stuck with the meager amount of brains you currently possess
sucks to be you...
Oldefarte| 8.29.12 @ 11:51AM
Oh you mean that "tub of lard" that resembles Axelrod without the mustache, Shultz WITH the mustache, or perhaps Paul with his newsletters' bags of cash stored his pants pockets [from his stupid admirers]?????????

Oldefarte| 8.29.12 @ 11:53AM
The "tub of lard" didn't reveal his dementia as does your LJ jock-strapped boy!!!!!!
Kingofthenet| 8.29.12 @ 12:38AM
I am from Jersey so maybe I am biased, but Christie sounded like my Brother, VERY Authentic and talking from the heart.Now my Brother is a semi-successful bombastic jerk, but I still love him.
Oldefarte| 8.29.12 @ 11:56AM
Well the other guy which will be praised in NC is a "bombastic jerk" [and besides that he's a radical conquerer of the government] and THAT is the choice you had better contemplate!!!!!!!!!!
Kingofthenet| 8.29.12 @ 1:02AM
Christie is a good speaker, Ann isn't Pure and simple. Christie at least comes off as someone who believes is certain values, Ann comes off as believing in a Man
Truth to Power| 8.29.12 @ 11:20AM
"... Ann comes off as believing in a Man"
This is hilarious coming from a big O supporter. Could a believer in cash for clunkers, wind farms, high speed rail, halos over the big O's fat head, genius through teleprompters and hidden grades, summers of recovery, Solyndra, MFing economic advisers, race baiting scam artists really be giving Ann Romney a hard time for believing in her husband. Progressives are always doing some big league projecting. You will never get well, kingofthenet until you admit that you walked up a blind alley. Stop stumbling around in the dark and get the hell out of that alley before one of your political allies sticks you with a knife and takes whats left in your wallet.

Amen! If only these hypocrites could all be rounded up and deposited onto a Harlem street corner at 2AM!!!!!!!!!!
Teflon93 | 8.29.12 @ 1:19PM
Why Harlem, Old Liberal? Is there anything distinctive about Harlem that leads you to believe being there at 2 AM is the epitome of awful?
Skippy| 8.29.12 @ 2:40PM
Have you been there then?
How long ago?
Do you "see racist people" everywhere?
Remember; it's only the dog that hears the whistle.
It's not racism to notice the color of the thug knifing you.
Teflon93 | 8.30.12 @ 5:39PM
It is racist, however, when wishing horrors on someone to pick the best-known historically-black neighborhood in the country. It is also stupid. As for the thug knifing you, odds are he's a white guy or a Latino---most muggings are committed not by blacks but by whites and Hispanics. If you look at the comparitive numbers you'll no doubt figure out why.
Unless you're a racist, of course.
Oldefarte| 8.29.12 @ 11:58AM
No, SHE tells what HE talked about in his speech...............THE TRUTH[which is opposite of what the other side constantly avoids purposely]!!!!!!!!!
aware| 8.29.12 @ 5:53AM
Yeah, keep telling us what Romney will do and ignore what he HAS DONE.
spike59| 8.29.12 @ 6:46AM
coming from someone all-too willing yo ignore what ObaMao has done, that's pretty funny, much like your screen name-isn't that kind of like when some HUGE biker has 'Tiny' as a nickname?
aware| 8.29.12 @ 2:43PM
I don't ignore anything. I only point out that by the time Romney is through you "conservatives" will be in the same shape as a 20 dollar whore at biker week.
You dipshits are the ones that seem surprised at what Ocommie has done. Nothing he has done has been any surprise to me. And neither will what Romney does.
These people have RECORDS, you know. Try looking at them sometime. Another dumbass neo con.
Oldefarte| 8.29.12 @ 12:03PM
UNDERAWARE what he "HAS DONE" is what ya boy has never come close to doing, does not have the mental capacity to do or the philosophical desire to do.....and that is to achieve SUCCESS [financial and professional] and to get this country out of the ditch that he has put us in since 11/4/08! Ya boy is an embarrassment not only to himself, but to this country in general!!!!!!!!!!
aware| 8.29.12 @ 2:38PM
I don't have any "boys" olddingleberry. You keep trying to label me an Obama supporter and I keep telling you they are all criminals. See if you can understand: I DON'T SUPPORT ANY POLITICIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Neo con dumbass.
Skippy| 8.29.12 @ 2:42PM
Oh, an anarchist or an adolescent.
That makes sense, and explains your comments.
aware| 8.29.12 @ 2:49PM
Politically I am an anarchist. But once I was conservative, before that label became the joke it is now. Since you actually "trust" the criminal class you must be the adolescent. Yeah, they'll "save" you. Sure.
It isn't politics that dooms us its MATH.
Skippy| 8.29.12 @ 3:47PM
Sadly you have chosen a path of insignificance and futility.
The resentment you have is the poison you take to kill...whoever turned your brain to bitter ashes.
I will be "saved" by my own sense of self-preservation, as will my family.
If the nation falls, I will fall with it.
What options do you suggest, besides descent into animal savagery?
aware| 8.29.12 @ 3:58PM
Turn your savings into gold or silver. Get all debt out of your life. Learn to grow your own food. Get out of the big cities. Learn to shoot. Network with those who have skills that come in handy.
And stop supporting political whores who tell you what you want to hear. This country was not built by statists but by self-reliant individuals who took their chances. It is not enough for a nation to survive, it must be worthy of survival.
Terrible times are coming no matter who wins a farce election. And you're damn right I'm resentful. All decent men should be.
aware| 8.29.12 @ 4:18PM
Oh yeah, the 1st thing and the most important thing: get right with God through Jesus. Otherwise you will be deceived. Only the Truth can set you free.
Teflon93 | 8.29.12 @ 12:11PM
The hard truth is Mitt Romney's a liberal and has no intention of doing what must be done to save this nation----namely, tear down the welfare state which is bankrupting us.
Skippy| 8.29.12 @ 2:42PM
"You got that right!"
BHO
Teflon93 | 8.30.12 @ 5:43PM
If Obama had said such a thing it would be the first truth he's spoken. Unlike you MittBots, who have yet to speak one.
Meanwhile, yet again, here is Romney's actual RECORD. Aware is a aware of it; you are undoubtedly aware of it and yet a RINO yourself.
