  • Maybe someone should tell the Wookie that what is making America fat is the Government cheese that she and her Marxist pig of a husband want to force on all of us.

    Christie is probably correct. Many of the people who say that America is fat are probably correct. What no one wants to say is what is actually the cause of that obesity. Generations of us have been "trained" to rely on government as Mommy, Daddy, nurse and nanny. It's no wonder that half of us are stupid, fat and lazy.

    And just for my own sick satisfaction...Mitch Hoops, Christie may be fat, but you are an ASSHOLE! Christie can lose the weight, I doubt you can stop being an asshole.

    • I live in the least obese state in the Union. Its not because there is less government here

      Southern cooking though...?

      • Nah, its eating Southern cooking designed to feed farmers and laborers being eaten by computer jockeys.

        • Lol that is the truth.. My daddy was a TN farmboy. He'd pour milk, cornbread, and October beans into a tall glass, whisk up with fork, and slam it all down. Quick energy for hard work. Grossed my mum out.

          I had to swear off some of wifey's Texan fare earlier due to emerging gut. I'm better now

          • My Dad did the cornbread and milk thing like a milkshake at bedtime. And there is very little Texas fare I can't fix to be on the healthy side! All it takes is devotion. Where there is a will there's a way!

    • Christie can't lose the weight; he's a fat slob forever. He's a permanent government employee who couldn't get private sector health insurance if his fat ass depended on it, loser.

  • Fat slob Christie oughta pull his grotesque kiester off the couch and walk somewhere; this is a pig who takes helicopters to his kids ballgames (must be Chinook chopper, nothing else could carry morbidly obese gut). He's the last guy to be talking about sitting on couches.

    • Hey look who is back, Parole Officer let you use his computer? I am surprised you didn't mention sex in your post since that's all you ever talk about. Bye Bitch...your a total waste of bandwidth.

      • I work everyday lady; every single day. Hey, talk about working, how 'bout you? Oh, I forgot, you blame your life on the Clinton bubble and illegals, right? You're on social security, correct? Probably social security disability and medicare, too, correct? I'm a workin' man--seven days a week, at my own business. I work hard. I party hard, dead ass.

    • Maybe you would feel better if he was just a low life that put his feet all over the office furniture .

  • There once was a little bird that was out looking for worms . Someone came up to the bird and said " If you give me one of your feathers , I'll give you a worm . " The bird realized he had many feathers and thought , sounds like a good deal to me , I won't have to work so hard today . The next day while making his rounds , the same offer was given . A worm for a feather . Another great deal . This went on for quite a while . Alas the bird no longer had the ability to find his own food and no longer had much to trade .

    Freedom in exchange for stuff . Real diginty in exchange for dependance . Imagine thinking that taking care of yourself and your family , being thought of as a bad idea ? What happens when they no longer need your vote . Some interesting promising possibilities might be as an example the reconquista going on in southern California , where black genocide is going on , and is being called something other than what it is , as the hispanic vote is now the dominant vote and not the black vote . Where are all the black leaders helping their people ? Where are all the politcians ? Off doing something more important . I believe they're off looking for feathers .

    • Or the Aesop fable of the grasshopper vs the ant. Ant wrked his tail off getting ready for winter while the grasshopper fiddle farted around. Come winter, the ant was fine, the grasshopper starving. Happening all over Europe as we speak. The Northern counties, known for industirousness and thrift are tired of paying for the southern countries which are . . .well. not.

  • It will soon reach the tipping point al la Greece, Spain, France. Then all these idiots on welfare voting for pols encouraging more people to go on the dole will realize that they have kicked themselves in the crotch cause now there ain't enough to go around so everyone will have to take a cut in pay. Oh wait, the demos can go after Soros, Gates, Buffet, The Kennedy's, Rockefellers, the Hollywood drug addicts, etc. Yep, that'll for sure happen....not.

  • It's simple. Once you're dependent on the government for your your basic needs you'll not vote against that government.
