Christie was in Israel because he heard there was an all-you-can-eat gefiltefish place in Tel Aviv
I'm wondering why the Obama haters aren't questioning the amount of tax payer money Christie is spending in Israel. Oh, that's right, it's ok for the GOP to spend tax payer money for trips, but not for President Obama. It's hard to keep all of their BS straight.
Just offering an observation about Wisconsin. It seems somewhat similar to Illinois and maybe even a little more politically segregated. Waukesha Co is even MORE GOP/conservative than the counties that ring Chicago. But in both states, the Democrats and the Republicans tend to be foreigners to each other. Republicans don't come from Chicago or Milwaukee. Because of urban gerrymandering, Democrats tend to represent very insular parts of each state. Except for Feingold, there are likely few Democrats in Wisconsin that are even known state wide or would be recognized as coming from similar backgrounds as people in other parts of the state.
Why is Christie in Israel, why is this news and why should I care?
If Christie shows up ,i bet there's a buffet there somewhere!
cuomo would be a disaster for the republican party! hes a 1% and always will be. he has forgotten about the people and is only concerned about his money and the money of the rest of the 1%.
just take a look at new york state under his command!
Gov. Christie in Israel because it's the Disneyland of the apocalypse. He wants to be first in line for the ArmaggedoCoaster. I'm sure the deep fried hummus on a stick appeals to him as well.
