WASHINGTON (AP) - Making a rare Capitol Hill appearance, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Monday encouraged the GOP's newest members of Congress to embrace compromise and common ground as they shift to a governing role following their party's midterm rout.

The Republican governor, who is contemplating a 2016 presidential bid, addressed newly elected House Republicans and their spouses during a closed-door orientation luncheon inside the Capitol. The often-outspoken Christie declined to answer questions from reporters afterward, but attendees said offered a distinctly bipartisan tone.

"He did talk about compromise and finding common ground," said incoming Rep. Tom MacArthur, R-N.J....

Bruce Springsteen would be teary-eyed to hear RINO Christie blabber on.

I don’t know ... I think you are holding back your feelings. Just let it all out. </s> LOL.

Hush yo mouth, fat boy.

Bull Sh&t “compromise”, no way in hell should the GOP conform and agree with the libs. The libs have run roughshod over the RHINO’s for far too long. Time for some real payback.

You know, this wants me to make me pull my hair out. Do these RINOs not get it?

On one hand, I do see the political gain/angle from saying this will be your approach, as it makes the GOP seem reasonable when the democrats are shrill and unreasonable. However, the reality is that Republicans go elected because people do not like what the democats and the adminstration have done and want them to stop them.

Successful leadership is all about persuasion, not compromise.

“Compromise” and “Common Ground.”

Translation.....Bend over, and hand them your wallet.

FU, Christie.

[doorgunner69]

Of course he did, after all, didn’t the democrats do just that?

[trisham]

It seems that Christie’s fans are the left and the msm.

[Obadiah]

Could someone tell me when Christie publicly chided Harry Reid to compromise?

*crickets*

Hey Jpg that photo makes me want to vomit.

[OneWingedShark]

That picture is too perfect for the title.
(It made me laugh FAR more than it should have.)

[Army Air Corps]

Is Christie taking a breather from “mounting” Obama’s leg?

[tennmountainman]

Another hit and run by Fat A$$ Christie.

Makes a statement but does not answer questions.

So what areas of compromise does Christie propose?

[Steely Tom]

Can anyone find one single instance of anyone, anywhere, suggesting to the Democrats that they compromise after they took over the Congress in 2006, or got both Executive and Legislative branches in 2008?
