Gov. Christie and Michael Steele Join Mayor Bloomberg in Criticizing the NRA
breitbart ^ | December 22, 2012 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 12/23/2012 5:03:15 PM PST by lowbridge

After Wayne LaPierre spoke of the NRA's desire to help make children safer by using its own money and resources to train teachers and work with police departments to have an armed presence at every school that wants it, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former RNC chair Michael Steele joined Mayor Michael Bloomberg in crying foul.

Said Christie: "In general, I don't think the solution to safety in schools is putting an armed guard because for it to really be effective in my view, from a law enforcement perspective, you have to have an armed guard at every classroom."

This is absolute lunacy. And if we followed Christie's line of thinking for our homes, we'd have to conclude that having a gun at the ready by the bed at night is a waste of time unless we have a family member armed and on watch at every entrance to the house at all times as well.

You see how silly such thinking is?

And this is why Conservatives want to leave the GOP, it’s leadership has more in common with the Democrats than Conservatives. They sure as hell are not going to get my money or support.

This is the issue that will help differentiate the RINOs, Socialists and Communists from others.

The invitation to leave the GOP is open folks. How many more of these fiascoes is it gonna take?

It happened before this one for me. Seeing the Pubbies whine and do NOTHING about the widespread fraud against the military absentee vote was the last nail in the coffin. If they can't go to the mat for the military when their votes are stolen, why would anyone think they give a sh*t about any American?

Does the RNC have to issue an "F U" Proclamation? Yes? Well folks, figure it out. They just did.

hey, you don't need to be for or against the 2nd amendment to know that when mad men are going around slaughtering innocent children you probably need to provide innocent children protection ~ particularly when the killing zones are the very public schools you force them to attend.

This is where the Democrats and the less educated wing of the Republican party end up doing foul things to the pooch.

Let me make a prediction here ~ Fatboy will be the first to complain about folks calling his office with death threats ~ as if we should care about a guy who doesn't care if mad men are wandering about murdering children.

The reality is that if John Bonher somehow stops this AWB from passing, he’s my man and he has my full support, tears and all.

All we have to do is stop it. One senator willing to lay down a filibuster, just enough Congressmen to say NO. Then we can take on Obama’s executive orders one by one with the courts.

If gun-free zones are so safe, why does the pResident not have one?

Then he could dispense with the Secret Service and save the taxpayer millions.

Well, that’s your choice. But his 800 other issues still remain.

Anyone want to openly say they believe Bhoner will not ‘compromise’ the 2A?

ANYONE???

Ah the Scottish nobles of the GOP.

Excellent analogy. They and the GOP leadership will deliver us to just about the same place where the nobles delivered Scotland too.

Are the GOP elites sitting around thinking: “what’s another way we can demotivate conservatives from voting for us?”

Christie made a good impression by jawboning the NJ teachers union. Since then we've seen better, like in Wisconsin. He hasn't done anything since, afaik.

We need to start keeping a record of these things from Christie to counter the Cristie-for-president contingent in 2016 who will try browbeating everyone else into supporting him.

In order to win a campaign, he had to be a republican. In order to sound like a republican, he had to pretend to be one. People mistook what he said as the truth.
