* Christie has many critics among N.J. conservatives
* From subsidies to guns, Christie has liberal bent
* Could weight become a factor?
Is tough-talking Republican Chris Christie tough enough for the Tea Party?
Christie's potential entry into a 2012 White House race dominated by conservatives would electrify the campaign but trigger scrutiny of his record as a Republican governor in heavily Democratic New Jersey.
Hailed by conservatives for staring down public employee unions in New Jersey, he may face questions about whether his beliefs on such hot-button issues as illegal immigration and climate change match up with the conservative Tea Party movement expected to play an important role in choosing the Republican nominee.
"I think there is an interesting possibility that the more people look at him, the more people will have concerns," said Ryan Rhodes, chairman of the Tea Party in Iowa, a key early voting state.....

NO.

big fat RINO
There are a lot of good republican governors out there who happen to be pretty liberal but aren’t able to act on it much as governor.
So the media has managed to bury Perry with the immigration/poor debating skills news. Now they want a new target to keep the headlines coming.
This is the worst selection process I have ever witnessed. It’s all about the news. They pushed Cain aside because he’s not headline material and they’re clamoring for fresh meat Palin, Christie, whoever.
So sad to watch this tabloid generation in action.

Does a bear shit in the Vatican?
Ya mean Guvnor Bobby Jindal?
I don’t really follow Jindal much.
I was actually thinking of my governor in Michigan (Rick Snyder) Fiscally he’s pretty good but other than that he’s a flaming liberal. Fortunately his job is mostly to sign what’s sent to his desk.
Will Gov. Christie, as US President, increase of decrease the Total National Debt in EACH of his first four years?
The Tea party principles:
The Tea Party movement is a grassroots movement of millions of like-minded Americans from all backgrounds and political parties. Tea Party members share similar core principles supporting the United States Constitution as the Founders intended, such as:
• Limited federal government
• Individual freedoms
• Personal responsibility
• Free markets
• Returning political power to the states and the people
Has Christy responsible for any policies opposite to above?
I do not know since I live 3000 miles from NJ.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Governor Jindal was fast-tracked to up-and-coming young conservatives by Rush and Hannity until the real conservatives in LA started proving Jindals’ record. He will be re-elected this year, but I doubt he will finish his next term...
Snyder is polar op of Jindal...social conservative phlaming phiscal LIB.
