Republicans unhappy with the current field of GOP presidential contenders have been urging Christie to run. Christie has resisted becoming a candidate, but those close to the governor say he is reconsidering his decision to stay out of the race.
Cain tells “Fox News Sunday” that many conservatives won’t support Christie once they find out about his views on global warming, illegal immigrants and gun control.
Christie has broken with traditional conservative views on some issues. He has voiced support for some gun control, has said being in the country without proper documentation is not a crime, and has called climate change real and partially manmade.
I knew it! (lol)
Chris Christie is far too moderate & rational of a person to make it as a candidate for President on the GOP ticket! No way! They’ll tear him to shreds! (:-D
You gotta love these Republican candidates forming a perfect circular firing squad. They will cut each other up while Obama sits on the sidelines laughing and goading them into even more attacks on one another. The entire campaign cycle is condensed so they won’t have the luxury of recovering from the damage they do to one another. Alls the Dems need to do is to run ads against the ultimate candidate showing the “glowing comments” made by his former competitors during these debates (e.g. Cain calling Perry a racist, Perry calling Romney a flip flopper who cannot be believed on anything he says, all of them calling Christie an obese liberal with no principles, etc.)
Yes, he is too liberal. He supports amnesty & he believes the global warming hoax which in turn makes him like Cap & Tax. (Granted he got NJ out of Cap & Tax but that wasn’t for coming to his senses about the hoax, it was more because the state wasn’t going to making enough money AND because of the noise made by Mayor Lonigan.)
Christie couldn’t run this time and he knows it. He can’t win.
The uber-xian Republican party and their newly discovered base in America’s idiot-class will never allow a normal guy like Christie to run.
As a Conservative, the Republican Party left me behind when they chose a dummy like GWB. William F. Buckley (the founder of Conservatism) and all followers of his philosophy have run away from the Republican Party in the last decade or so and we’re not coming back.
That’s why the Repubs need America’s most ignorant simpletons in their camp. Dim-wits like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann, along with their cheerleaders in the entertainment media gave an odd sense of “credibility” (no matter how phony it is) to being dumb. They walk out every day and proclaim “We’re here, we’re dumb as a pile of bricks, and we’re not going to stay quiet anymore!” Beck created that “feeling” of inclusion for the idiots. He makes them think they are part of a movement, and that they know something others don’t. It is BRILLIANT propaganda.
The fact is that unless the Republicans get back to honest, intellectual Conservatism, Obama will likely be reelected. All the polls show it to be true.
Watching these guys snipe at one another is like watching a bunch of rabid dogs fight. Except I have compassion for rabid dogs.
