When FReepers shred Chris Christie, many don’t understand that for NJ he is an extreme conservative for this area - certainly the best we could hope for, with all the right enemies. Unlike Giuliani (fiscal conservative, social liberal), Christie is conservative on both counts.
I know, I am down here in Texas and have a different take on what’s conservative than most on the east coast. I understand that Christie is conservative leaning for that area, but I do have to take issue with the statement that Christie is socially conservative. He is the governor who signed into law a bill that makes it a crime for a psychiatrist to help a gender confused child reclaim his God given sexual identity.
That is liberal and it is fundamentally wrong. After the years of research I have done into children and the dangerous effects that homosexuality has on their lives, I can tell you that anyone who would do that has a dark soul.
i liked a lot of what he said and did.
but i knew he could never take the southern states.
and he really didn;t put much fight into abortion or gay marriage
well, gay marriage was a SC decision so nothing to do there.
but abortion, he could have tried harder.
but he was more socially conservative that Rudy
