Gov. Christie makes one good point, regarding the lack of choice that the children of public figures have in how they become public figures. But that’s about as far as it goes. The NRA ad he calls reprehensible was more about posting armed security at our schools than it was about the Obama daughters. It points out that the Obama daughters have armed security at their schools. The NRA supports putting more security at schools, so that they’re not as vulnerable to the crazy people out there as they currently are. That’s not “reprehensible.” That’s a sensible, majority position, and even the president himself is moving towards it. The ad asks a pointed question of parents: Are the president’s children more important than yours? They are in the national security context of course, but ask any worthwhile parent if anyone else’s kids are more important than their own and you’re likely to get a pretty strong “No.” Among the reasons that many Americans want a firearm in the home and armed security at schools is to protect those who are at the same time our most precious and our most vulnerable: Our kids. The NRA is not reprehensible for taking this on.
Christie, so far, has nothing at all to say about how the president using other people’s children to push for gun control.
The appearance left is that Christie is picking up where he left off in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, running to guard Obama’s flank in order to solidify his own re-election prospects.
I take this as a sign the establishment thinks the Tea Party is the Klan, sure to go away and to be avoided at all costs. Let’s show them otherwise.
Sigh… Where would Democrats be without Republicans “help”…
Christie obviously wants to be President, but he has quite the curvy road to get there. First he has to turn left to win reelection in NJ this year – but not so far left that he has his signature on any gun control legislation. Then he has to swerve back hard to the right to pick up Republican nomination – followed by a gentle turn to the middle.
I don’t think he can do it.
Can we please remember just as far as last November, when this sort of reasonable, compromising, Rick Moran friendly, reach across the aisle “Republican” was picked for Pres., and what that got us?
–ly obese politican should not pontificate.
– politician; politican sounds like a tribe.
He is still humping Obama’s leg for Federal Money. We now know what he is , but he is still negotiating a price.
He may believe he’s worth something, but he’s not. Representatives of the Democratic [sic] party might take him in if he were to switch, though I doubt even they’d ever trust him.
He is as tiresome as Scarborough, and he may, too, end up at MSNBC as another faux conservative.
Christie is a backstabbing squish.
No support.
No volunteerism
No money
No vote.
He needs to stay in newyorkistan.
If Christie runs as a GOPer against Obama for Obama’s third term (I know, against the Constitution, but when does that matter) I won’t vote for him. Let the GOP establishment be warned……
Christie goes full RINO to get Imam Obama and the GOP establishments approval.
Flashback: Gov. Chris Christie dragging people’s children into the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy tragedy
Remember this pompous act, next time this RINO bloviates about TEA conservatives dividing the Republican Party.
One thing about it, this probably DOES cement this fat a$$ as the GOP leadership’s next presidential nominee….
So, who are the democrats running in 2016 who will end up president?
BTW, not putting it past the Bamster to run a 3rd time regardless of what the Constitution says as the democrats will just obfuscate the issue and make ridiculous legal arguments to the contrary as to how it doesn’t apply to him – and regardless of how silly those arguments are there will be a sizable chunk of the electorate who will swallow it and ask for a second helping…..or in this case a third helping.
HEY CHRISTIE:
Why don’t you go blame the REAL culprit of “bringing children into the discussion”:
THE NEWTOWN SCHOOL!
Go b*tch at THEM, then s*ck on my barrel, you loser.
