— JohnE. Part of his speech today (video below):
We must be the grownups on this issue. This is not a time for grandstanding and this is not a time for politics. This is a time for an open conversation on how we realistically deal with a very complex issue. Only then can we change the dialogue... change the tone and change how we address this issue so that we can better protect and preserve the safety of the people we serve, which is the first and most important obligation in my view of government."Now, what do you think is going to happen after a guy like Christie talks about it "not being a time for politics" and "changing how we address this issue"?
C'mon, you know. We're going to get a full-throated defense of our individual rights and liberties. We're going to get a forceful and direct challenge to media narratives and assumptions. We're going to hear data and statistics about cities with strict gun control laws versus those that allow for concealed carry. We'll hear the countless stories of firearms being used in self-defense, in many cases saving lives. We're going to hear how ineffective and useless previous legislation like the Assault Weapons Ban has been. We'll hear him criticize "gun free zones". We'll hear how silly "solutions" like magazine capacity limits and restrictions on cosmetic rifle accessories are.
In short: We're about to get our Constitution on!
Or, y'know, the exact opposite.
Rising star of the Republican Party. Rising star.
P.S. He trashed the NRA today.

And halting the plea bargaining away of weapons charges, which is all too commonplace...
Course, no laws need to be changed to do any of that.

Congratulations, gun haterz. You have awoken a sleeping giant (2008-2013) and filled him with a terrible resolve.

You know, I said during the primaries that I probably wouldn't vote for Romney, but I came around and supported the guy. There is zero chance this fat fuck will get my vote should he win the nomination, and I'm not just saying that.

As do I, essentially there is not one nation there is one democrat party and two Republican parties.
The price the New England GOP the one who cannot do shit in their region to win demands of me is the caving on several core issues on the throne of changing the GOP to simply "better donks than donks."
Yeah no, Krispy kreme buddy my problem with the current course of America is not simply the price tag it is the rot and decline and slouching away from free markets and liberty.
I am not looking for a "good manager discount and cost savings" on Obamaville I am looking for freedom.
We're done the GOP can tell him to fuck off or they've told me to fuck off there is no third option.

There was a Whig Party once until those who later called themselves Republicans split off in outrage over adamant Whig refusals to address the expansion of slavery into the territories. Imagine how lonely the last Whig presidential candidate felt in 1860. Now imagine he looked like Christie.
I am about the most staunch and faithful Republican voter the GOP is likely to find, but I'm seriously considering registering as an Independent and looking for a 3rd Party way out. The Republican Establishment is to socialism what the Whigs were to slavery. They won't fight. Hell with them.
Posted by: troyriser at January 17, 2013 03:22 PM (vtiE6)
...which would be about now, actually. So yeah, I will never cast a vote for Christie.
Ah, wasn't it only a couple of years ago when Glenn Beck was doing the Chris Christie Porn™ segments? I didn't care for Christie then >.> now I actively dislike him. How times change.

to hell probably.
I am going to focus on using my money politically in Texas and probably Louisiana I think.
I'll pull the lever GOP unless it is odious but I *took one for the team* the last two and arguably last 5 cycles.
I am not taking one for the team, Let It burn is stopping saving the LiVs by caving and running discount dems in GOP clothing.
If I decide and am still young enough to go start over I'll go to a freer place if it comes to that.
The answer is not and we must not become EUtopia.
Were that the ONLY fear I'd probably still be a tail waggy GOPer like I was in Clinton era games.
My sincere fear is this is the Party of Bill Ayers versus the party of (now) the GOP as Bill Clinton and Clinton is losing.....
The USA is on the path to getting its Kiev on I think.

If you want to see how a middle-of-the-road conservative in a blue state handles an issue that is a potential land mine for a future presidential candidate, you need look no further than New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and his gun-violence plan.
Christie also, like many conservatives who cringed at the National Rifle AssociationÂ’s ads...

You have to hit the gutter to find any semblance of proactive conservatism and it's the MOTR Republicans who put them there.

Yeah well California has had an "Assault" weapons ban for years. So apparently far too little, far too late. Hell all .50 BMG rifles are banned because... SCARY. They've never been used in a documented crime but ...SCARY!!!! So banned they are. Magazines? Oh they've been size limited since I was in short pants. Semiautomatic pistols that's right magazine size limits. Did I mention our "safe pistol" program wherein every manufacturer that wants to sell a pistol in this state must submit it to California and pay to have it destructively tested? Did I mention moving to the state with legal pistols requires you to register them with the California Department of Justice?
Yeah so when you talk about your friends who are all about that 2nd amendment. Where were they when it mattered? When our freedom was taken? Why weren't they standing up to their liberal buddies then? When it mattered? Before we became the model for enslaving the rest of the nation?

Re-check your premises. Spending went up under Christie. His proposed budgets included overall increases.
Christie's record as a budget cutter is, like most Republican politicians, a fraud.
The question is why so many supposed fiscal stalwarts bought it, based simply on the unbacked statements of the usual self-serving, D.C. based Republican/Conservative punditry class.
Christie is a liberal-Republican who is malleable and inexperienced in foreign policy (read: can be shaped by the Party's foreign policy hawks), hence he's boosted.
The Republican Party leadership is not your friend.

Late to the game but...
Someone needs to tell him that it's non-negotiable, that is, anything to do with the 2nd Amendment or 'negotiating' with Democrats to give them what they want. That he attaked the NRA which show's where he's at on the political spectrum. Probably in the same orbit that ignorant orange colored fairy from FL, Christ, is.

He was a former federal prosecutor; just like Rudy and Client 9. It's the perfect role for a bully where they can run roughshod over the rights of the accused by putting them into bankruptcy defending themselves against an infinite budget. It also sets them up to fix up corrupt eastern shitholes by pulling the same type of shit on people that are more or less deserving of it having put the state or city behind the fucking 8 ball by prior cocksuckers being afraid to call them out. But there's no fucking way they should ever pull that shit on the national stage.

Congratulations, Christie - you've managed to be held in lower regard by most Republicans than the House leadership. You're a truly despicable piece of RINO shit. Fuck you. If you run for President and somehow manage to get the nomination, I'll vote Libertarian. You can go to Hell.

Could we push that all gun control legislation should have a clause that restricts its application solely to illegal activity? Since this would obviously be ineffective, wouldn't it force the left to admit that their gun restrictions will ONLY affect law abiding citizens?

Now...far be it from me to make this an issue. I know others have said this about the man to denigrate him unfairly. However in this case it is appropriate i think to point out the hypocrisy of the way in which he handles things and understands them.
Chris Christie is a severly overweight man. Childhood obesity and early onset diabetes is a FAR FAR FAR more prevelant problem in this country than gun violence is. This is just the plain honest truth.
Chris Christie is unconcerned about this issue. He is unconcerned about what and who it effects every day. We do not here "Something must be done" from him on this issue. Why? Becuase HE would have to do something.
Now, does this mean he cannot be overweight and be a leader. No. Do i really care about his weight? No. Do i care that he is intellectually honest? Yes.
There is a LIST of things that are far more dangerous to children in this country than guns. This is nothing more than political grandstanding.
Chris Christie has made a calculated decision that he must court the media for the next 4 years in order to win the Presidency. He is doing this by attacking Republicans and easy right wing media targets like the NRA. I assume he will in the next 6 months or so say something about FoxNews or Rush Limbaugh. Again...he is hitting the easy targets. HE MAY VERY WELL BE CORRECT. It might be the only way to win next time.
Or...he may tick off enough actual conservatives that he never gets a shot at all. Its a very dangerous game he is playing.
