Not all that long ago, I wrote that the term "GOP-E" means GOP-Enablers:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2896693/posts

And here it is. Watch. Days from now, weeks from now, months from now, years from now, some leftist, some Obamunist wannabe, whoever the next Harry Reid is, the current Harry Reid, whoever.....

Is gonna go to the podium and say "we need internet taxes across the board, and this is a bipartisan issue. both democrats, and republicans have called for internet taxes, so it must be done."

Or however it will end up being worded.

This is GOP-E Enabling of leftist causes. Chris Christie, you are the progressive enabler of the day.

We need to continually primary these big government republicans out of existence. We cannot afford this anymore! Republicans are screwing this country as fast as the democrats are, and we conservatives stand alone.

Christie is a major disappointment. But then again, so is the Republican Parry in general.

No matter what party, I have never seen a tax that politicians don't like, endorse or vote for. Much of congress and all of the administration could be tried for corruption under the RICO statues.

Why is anyone surprised at this?
Christie is Big Government LIBERAL!
A Northeastern RINO. Like the Bushies and Mittens.

Savage is right, the only difference between the democrats and the GOP is purely cosmetic.

This is another reason I don’t like Christie.
What is so darn wrong with choking off spending? Why is it that politicians have to tax everything that moves and half of what’s dead?
Flip it around and cut back your state taxes. See how many companies relocate and provide new jobs.... jobs for people that pay taxes. Be competitive not punitive.

Christie has done some good things but his problem, he is still a RINO country club executive/establishment type who is out of touch. One good thing from Christie was he pretty well eliminate state safety inspections for cars.

I have an honest question.... Let’s say I open a business, take on overhead, employees, etc. Then some guy in another state does the same, but undercuts me on price through the internet. Wouldn’t I want a sales tax to protect my business? Create an even playing field?

Forget new taxes -

STOP THE SPENDING!!!

The majority of gov't spending is a just money-laundering schemes for leftist politicians. Eliminate the programs, eliminate the spending, eliminate the left.

I live in TN. We have a use law as most states do. If I buy something online I’m technically required to fill out a form and mail the sales tax to the state.

The state has no way of tracking individual purchases but they will audit businesses.

Where I work we pay thousands in use tax each month on out of state purchases.

What does the person who pays the sales tax for an online purchase get in return for those taxes paid? I could see with a brick and mortar store the taxes go towards snow plowing, upkeep of the roads leading to the store, local police and fire protection, etc.

But with online purchases, the state does nothing - this is just a naked grab for more of our money.

I wonder if Romney’s aware enough to remove Christie from consideration as VP because of this statement.

global taxing authority = global government.

We get a step closer. I give it 5 years.

Ha ha, there are plenty of Conservatives right here on FR that would like to see him as Romney’s VP. I’m not one of them. Give me Allen West. To me, Christie is just another Republican but more outspoken and once in awhile crass.

In a dramatic change, Republican governors — including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — are supporting sales taxes on online purchases in an attempt to send more revenue to state coffers.

So these "Republican" Governors think that we, the people, have too much money and they must take more of our money so they can spend it as they like.

Online retailers have to charge shipping instead of sales tax so the playing field for retailers is already somewhat level.

"Republicans are screwing this country as fast as the democrats are, and we conservatives stand alone."

And they're doing it in many local governments (including states) as bad as they are from the federal. ...robberies of all kinds all over the place.

Prepare yourselves. In case you haven't noticed, we're morally bankrupt.
