He was saying that both he and Christie were moderates, not conservatives. Romney thumbed his nose at conservatives today.

Yes, they are. I say we need to be bold and get 3rd party candidate - there is no splitting the vote. We have the commie and liberal party now - we need a Patriot Party now. If we are going down, I'd rather go down with a fight - but we won't be going down, we'll be victorious.

The other issue that was brought up by Christie was Romney’s religion. Christie was warning conservatives who were critical of Romney being a Mormon.

That was a pitfall that I tried to warn people on FreeRepublic about. The anti-Mormon sentiment was drummed up by the left for the sole purpose of creating dissension in the GOP and many posters on FreeRepublic fell for it. We had anti- Mormon threads almost daily, here on FreeRepublic. I won’t be a part of anything that attacks Mitt Romney for his religion.
