I still think of him as the fat guy who saved New Jersey from the teachers' unions.

Of course you do.  Hating a particular object helps with identification.

Christie won 21% of the African-American vote and 56% of the Hispanic vote - both more than double what he won last time. There's a lesson for Republicans there, if they want it.

The lesson is if Jesus Christ ran on the Republican ticket 60% of blacks would vote against him.

That's just silly.
Jesus would never run on a Republican ticket.

Yeah, the tea partiers would never agree to the "render unto ceasar" bit and the rest don't like the feedig the poor bit.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I've explained and elaborated the logic behind my "thing" for unions and my "thing" for Wall Street countless times.  You repeat braindead slogans which I take exception to, yet I'm the one with a thing.

Not really a lesson if you already knew it.

He did about as Republican Jesus with blacks with that slogan so it must be a pretty good one.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Well, if didn't forget a key word you would have found it pretty clever.

He did about as well as Republican Jesus with blacks with that slogan so it must be a pretty good one.

Is how it should have read.  You had previously stated in this thread that even if Jesus ran as a Republican he'd only get about 40% of the black vote.  You gave CdM a 4/10 for his slogan.  My post was conecting the two comments.

Unlikely, for a number of reasons.
