The appropriate lesson to take from the Christie affair

A quickie post as time is short.

I didn't come to praise Christie nor bury him.  ( couldn't resist the phrase, sorry )

It is interesting how the Obama club is going after Christie.  Why, if it weren't for Christie's help in 2012, would Obama have won in 2012?  Maybe he would have won anyway, but it could have been closer.

The lesson to learn here is the faithlessness and treachery.  You only make deals with people you can trust.  But you can't trust the Democrats.   Look how they abandoned Bush at the first opportunity.  I expected that and I was right.

Rush might have been talking about this yesterday.  He doesn't understand why some in the GOP believe that you can get the approval of liberals, when that is always proven false.  I was tempted to chalk it all to just plain old stupidity on the part of the GOP that falls for this.  Maybe it is, maybe it is something else.

Christie got something out of it too.  The treachery works both ways.

This is the kind of treachery one can observe in reading the history of the final days of the Roman Empire.

If all Christie and Obama care about is themselves, then such treachery is all but inevitable.  Somebody has got to defend the higher principles, but if those at the top won't, who will?  Nobody would or could during the Roman era.  Are we going down that same path?
