Gov. Christie calls NRA ad reprehensible

“To talk about the president’s children or any public officer’s children who have -- not by their own choice, but by requirement -- to have protection and to use that somehow to try to make a political point I think is reprehensible,” Christie said at a news conference in which he discussed gun control

LA Times http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/n...,1052799.story

Rand Paul expressed his ire with regards to Christie.

Rand Paul does not even come up to Christie's knees. http://mayorsagainstillegalguns.org/...ome/home.shtml

Support this group. For once there is as much money being contributed against the NRA as there is for those whackjobs.

The simple truth is often quite uncomfortable to ideologues.

He's right. I think he's just pandering to centrists, Independents and "undecideds" in anticipation of the 2016 election......But, he is right, nonetheless.

You know why Bill Clinton got elected? Democrats saw the need for a centrist candidate in order to compete in the general election. I hope the GOP is not smart enough to do the same.

If Christie starts seeing a personal trainer, you can be sure that he is serious about a run.

In any event, he is close to a shoo-in for re-election as governor, which is not exactly done as a politician.

He won't need the Teabaggers and other far-right whackos if he can pull in centrists, independents and the handful of sane Republicans left knocking around. Heck, if he keeps it up, he might even get..............me.

Bad judgment using the President's kids as an example imo. But they do have a
point even though they went about it the wrong way.
All High School athletic events have armed police officers yet every morning
I drop my kids off at school the only cop in sight is 1/2 mile down the road
writing speeding tickets to, well, mostly parents trying to make the 8:00
buzzer.

Even the threat of there "might" be an armed guard on site would save more
lives than another "assault"? weapons ban.
