Anyone who thinks Christie is no different than a Democrat needs to live in Maryland for a while, some Martin O Malley gems since he became governor 2007:
Auto Speeding detector fine cameras in movable vans to send out fines to collect $$$$, with gradually increasing fines if the post office never gets the notice to your mailbox (in law)
Same sex marriage just passed
Dream Act college tuition for illegals (in law)
State sales tax raised by 20% (in law)
Alcohol and cigarette taxes increased (in law)
Gasoline tax increase (being voted on, sure to pass)
Require locks on guns, bullets traceable, and training to get a gun (n law)
Millionaires tax increase (in law)
Ditto with Pat Quinn here in Illinois. I will gladly trade him for Christie since the loudmouths here claim there is "no difference" between Christie and a liberal RAT.
Hell, I have a "socially liberal" Republican U.S. Senator who gets a 100% rating from NARAL and gloats about it, and demands the GOP spend zillions on embyronic stem cell research. If they think Christie is really in the same boat as my guy, let's swap. Since we have a bunch of freepers howling about "States rights" there really ought to be an exchange program where they can trade the politicians they don't like for the ones we don't like. Since a bunch of idiots here claim Lindsey Graham is the worst RINO ever, I'll take them Mark Kirk for him. I guess they think having a "moderate" like Mark Kirk who loves every gun control bill even written and abortion on demand will be an improvement. They can have him and I'll take Graham off their hands. And I'll gladly take "RINO" Christie out of NJ so the Lonegan worshippers won't have to deal with him beating up the teacher's unions and tax-and-spend commies anymore. They can have Pat Quinn instead. I'm sure they won't mind a Chicago machine thug since they claim they're "no difference" between Christie and marxist RATs.
Put up or shut up. The freepers ranting and raving that politicians who did their bidding 80% of the time are RINO scum should have their bluff's called, like the loudmouth Hollywood celebs who constantly whine how the rich should be taxed more.
>> christie does have a knack for the smackdown, on fiscal jousting... its just everywhere else that he sucks...heheheh... <<
Right. Even though he governs solidly on being pro-life and pro-traditional marriage, we'll just slam him as a "social liberal" over and over again on FR so it better fits the "RINO" stereotype to pretend he's liberal on those issues. Who cares about his actual record on social issues? Let's scream that "he's pro-abortion!" when he continually stands up for our side on the right to life.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spit in your face...
Wow. Points taken. And excellent points they are. Hope you are well.
