To keep someone like Codey from becoming Governor for four years...to thank him for vetoing legislation to establish an Obama-care health exchange in NJ...the thank him for vetoing the destructive Codey sponsored foreclosure law ....for publicly and regularly putting down the Socialist shills who teach...there will be many other things for which we’ll be able to thank him in the next four years....sane people recognize the there is nothing ideal in politics and try not to throw the baby out with the bath water.
Perhaps I don't qualify as sane under your standards, but Christie has so many major faults, primarily the fact that he is another big government liberal in the mold of Romney, that the GOP will lose if they nominate him. "I'm not as bad as the other guy" didn't work with McCain in 2008 or with Romney in 2012, and it will not work in 2016. Ronald Reagan was not by my standards perfect; he just came close enough. Christie? Nowhere close.
Reagan is said to have stated, "The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally -- not a 20 percent traitor." Christie scores about 51%, at best, and not always on the critical issues, while Bill Clinton scored a 40% and Barack Obama scores a 0%. Perhaps that makes Christie a friend and an ally, but it does not make him an acceptable leader, at least not for the Republican party.
Well said. Especially here in NJ he’s the best we can hope for and is doing what he was elected to do. He’s so hated by libs/Dems it just makes me support him more.
