Would my state like to step up, please?
Disgusting human filth infests your governor's mansion unfortunately.
There are much worse Republicans than Chris Christie... but his needless pandering to veto our last attempt was a piss poor showing of leadership on an equality issue.
Hopefully by now he realizes he has no shot at the GOP nomination so he will do the right thing instead of pandering to the foaming at the mouth Primary crowd.
What pandering? He's offered to allow a referendum on the matter, and that's the way he'll allow it: through the people. The foaming mouth crowd is already outraged by that idea anyways so he could not possibly be pandering to their interests.
And he hasn't been pandering to that crowd EVER. Do you think he would speak so strongly for his muslim nominee to the courts if he did? The guy, while not completely honest in every way, has shown that he speaks out against wackos on his side, not moving to their side. Maybe he won't be running for President, because unlike that slithering snake skinned Rand Paul, Christie hasn't made a marked effort to compromise his ideas to them.
He was pandering because he didn't want to have to defend signing gay marriage. And referenda are the last refuge of the foamers--who do you think forced Maryland and Washington (and Maine in 2009) to vote on the issue?
Maryland? You mean the state with no Republicans? Come on man. Washington? The state with striaght Democratic Governor's since the 80s? I'll give you Maine, but that's it. Whats wrong with letting the people decide on such an issue? I think it's a better compromise than having to sign something you're honestly against.
People don't have to vote on rights. What's next, a refedenda to ask if poor people should have the right of voting?
