New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed the National Rifle Associations latest ad in which they accuse President Barack Obama of hypocrisy for sending his children to a school where they are protected by armed guards. Christie called the ad reprehensible and said that the NRA should not be dragging peoples children into the gun control debate.

I think any of us who are public figures, you see that kind of ad and you cringe, Christie said on Thursday at a news conference in Trenton. Im a father who is a public figure, who has four children and my children had no choice realistically in what I decided to do with my career and what affect that has had on their lives.
Dont be dragging peoples children into this, he added. Its wrong and I think it demeans them and it makes them less of a valid trusted source of information on the real issues that confront this debate.
Are the presidents kids more important than yours? the narrator in the NRA advertisement asks. Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?
Mr. Obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but hes just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security, the controversial ad concludes.
Republicans are becoming evermore increasingly unwise in this age. It's like they don't even want me to vote for any of them any more, conservative or not!
I mean, I'm not going to vote for a conservative who remains in a party full of complete rino idiotic dumbasses, are you?
It would be nice if both Jeb and Christie would run and split the RINO vote. But they won’t because the GOPe will assure there is only one chosen establishment RINO candidate just like they did in 2012.
Obama is reprehensible for endangering our children with his attempted gun grab. For the NRA to point out his hypocrisy is a noble act. Anyone in doubt just has to look at how the far left media are reacting - they are in a panic that the NRA might frame the debate honestly.
Hey, attaboy for calling out obama for dragging other people's kids into this issue!
Oh. You weren't calling out obama? The NRA? Oh. I see, uh... Think about it, CC.
Think of him as Romney Light!
Well looks like Christie squashed the shark.
He is not a RHINO !
He is a Fat Unicorn ! (stolen from a post on Free Republic)
dragging peoples children into the gun control debate indeed.
CLUE??? DUH!!!! Chris Christie is complicit with the mafia
Did this asshat not notice the children being manipulated on the stage of king hussein? Or is he just planning on making a democratic run for president?
We need to press harder and fight tougher. The liberals including ‘Fat Bastard’ don’t like it when we actually fight back. So far only the NRA has any balls to say what needs to be said.
As it turns out Christy is nothing but a closet self serving politician, a liberal just released from the closet.
Hey, that’s a real good idea Christie for getting conservative support for a presidential run. Run down the NRA and millions of gun owners. Talk about shooting oneself in the foot. Oops...sorry governor.
Hey SB, remember one of the first clues we had on this jerk, several years back? Back when he went on a talk-show, and the host asked him his opinion of Sarah Palin, and he reacted by stupidly contorting his face into a “gag me with a spoon” expression?
Just like a pathetic, self-absorbed teen-age girl. Ditto for his blubbering over getting a phone-call from Bruce Springsteen! The guy is such an embarrassment.
This guy hasn’t seen his testicles in so long he forgot what it was like to have a pair.
Their tactic is simple ~ they run Rinos ~ lots of them ~ knowing most of those guys will look like dwarves up against the RINO who gets the most votes, which will tend to exaggerate the top RINO's draw.
This tactic made Romney look like he was among the leaders when he got 20% ~
That's all it took for the big money guys who imagine backing a Republican is some sort of risky thing that might make them look sneaky over at the countryclub.
He is a D4AI&P.
A Democrat for all Intents and Purposes.
Christie and Rubio are fighting for the ‘new moderate’ top guy spot of the GOP.
Christie is trying to move into the vacancy left by Romney.
Rubio is trying to move into the vacancy left by McCain.

If this is the best the GOP has, they are in deeper trouble for 2016 than they were in 2008 or 2012.
For those in Rio Linda, that means the GOP is sunk — AGAIN.
