Poll question: Is Christie's weight fair game?
 ***I am asking on behalf of myself, not the moderators.
Poll result (79 votes) 
Yes, he's a republican  (7 votes, 9%) Vote
Yes, health is part of a candidates story and weight is part of health  (37 votes, 47%) Vote
Yes, other  (1 votes, 1%) Vote
No, it's bigotry  (24 votes, 30%) Vote
No, other  (10 votes, 13%) Vote
Not sure  (0 votes, 0%) Vote
Other  (0 votes, 0%) Vote

Apparently 47% of DU is hoisting the petard that only triatheletes can run for office.

I was going to ignore their sub-threads but starting with post #1 they beg otherwise:

1. Christie's an officerholder with policies that hurt the majority of the residents of NJ.
 That's bad enough. Bringing his weight into the debate is spacious.

That's "specious" unless you're making a fat joke.

30. I think age is fair game for the presidency or vice presidency.
 It's a very stressful job. I know Reagan was able to do it, but the job has changed a lot on 30 years. Now the president is fully connected to the world. Technology changes faster. Events need immediate response. And honestly, none of us wants to live through a presidents passing.

AGEISM!

10. President Obama works out, despite his smoking/not smoking
 I'm not aware President Obama has any breathing problems. Are you?

I do know that Christie has asthma and has been hospitalized for it. I also know that the man can't walk 100 yards, probably due to his asthma and other factors. So that is a concern, yes.

Yeah, I can tell you really care.

7. It isn't a cut on overweight people - he's just a fat **** one KFC leg away from a heart attack.
 You have to expect SOME level of health in the leader of a country - Cheney? Give me a ****ing break. And he was running the whole damn show!!!

14. I don't think so
 It's still bigotry. We don't make fun of people for their gender, skin color, religion or sexual orientation, why are we picking on someone for something so personal?

Frankly, I dislike it nearly as much as I dislike Christie. There are plenty of reasons to dislike him on a political basis - we don't need to make it personal.

I have a dream that one day my little children will be judged not by the color of their skin or how much skin they need to wrap up the massive sacks of cellulite they get eating food bought on food stamps and not working because they're on welfare and have Section 8 housing.

Finally, some honesty:

As far as I know, he bought and paid for his fat without any help from my tax dollars.

Which is a lot more than the welfare, disability, foodstamping, EBTing fatass DUmmies can say.

My property taxes went down $200 this past year after going sky high over the years and after an assessment was done at the height of the market, and now my home's value has gone down $100,000. Who the heck has he hurt?

Then 90% of all union goons have to be on the block. I have never seen a more obese group of people except for the welfare/WIC/food stamp crowd. Funny how both of those groups are the bedrock of the socialist democrat party.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

63. Knocking someone based on physical appearance is discriminating no matter how people
   
try to justify it. It makes me furious when women are treated horribly for their looks, and I was furious when people laughed at Hillary's cankles, and it's just as wrong to do this to men or people who are overweight. Fat bigotry seems to be the last acceptable form of discrimination and bullying left, and if people condone it they should be ashamed of themselves and have no right to call themselves progressives.

Chubby Chasers, other than that I should cover up in a muumuu when going out in public and should expect to be jeered if I dare tried to run for public office. Just throw us chubbies in a corner and throw a tablecloth over us or according to the results a tarp, we shouldn't be seen or heard.

I guess the fact that Cheney was, evidently, healthy enough to run "the whole damn show" for 8 years is lost on these idiots.

I like what I've heard about Governor Christie, but I honestly don't believe someone who's morbidly, grotesquely obese should be running for president.

He lives with an enormously increased risk of sudden death, and that's not good for the security of the country.

It would also make his election very difficult. In the television age, a guy like William Howard Taft (or Abraham Lincoln), will be badly handicapped by his appearance.
