On Hannity’s show while Christie was running for governor, Christie asked on which issues he considered himself liberal.
He said he supports NJ’s gun-control legislation.
The guy is pro gun-control. He can’t hide from that.
Now, you may not consider that a critical issue. That’s fine, and if he runs for office on the national level, feel free to vote for him.
But I consider the 2nd Amendment a critical part of that pesky little document that has thus far prevented tyranny in this country called the US Constitution. If Christie runs for office at the national level, I will be voting for whichever candidate is a better supporter of the US Constitution, and I care not which part that candidate is running with, nor that candidate’s chances of winning.
That’s the closest thing I’ve heard to a “current” policy statement on the 2nd Amendment from Christie.
Still, I want to see if his staffers answer my email (I’ll probably get some boiler plate—that’s politician SOP).
The fact is, in 1995, Clinton was saying that “The era of big government is over.” Do you think he believes that now? Do you think he believed it then?
We are talking about pols and they tend to say things that are politic.
In 1995, the GOP said they were pledged to the Contract with America and balanced budgets. Things changed rather quickly, didn’t they?
I have an open mind about 2012. I think it’s way too early to jump on any bandwagons and, in fact, most of the “suspects” deny that they have a bandwagon to jump on at this point anyway.
The only one I dismiss out of hand is Romney. He will never, ever be able to talk away his role in MassCare and, by extension, Obamacare.
