Are Democrats who endorse Christie really Democrats?: Editorial (How Liberals view Christie)

... how can they endorse a guy who routinely does violence to core principles of the Democratic Party?

Christie favors the rich over the poor every time. He vetoed an income-tax hike on the top 1 percent and a modest increase in the minimum wage. He is an aggressive opponent of abortion rights who closed down six Planned Parenthood clinics.

He pooh-poohs climate change, withdrew from the regional treaty to cut emissions, and depleted the state’s clean energy funds by a staggering $1 billion. He removed the only African-American justice on the state Supreme Court for no good reason. He reduced aid to cities, forcing police layoffs that increased criminal violence. He is still trying to grab money set aside for affordable housing.

This list goes on, but you get the idea. Christie is a conservative fellow.

I didntr realize Christie was sooo conservative... maybe we should consider him for u-know-what....but he will need a few more tummy tucks, and a slimfast diet, first.

As Margaret Thatcher observed, when you stand in the middle of the road you get hit from both directions.

And let me add this...any NJ conservative that votes for his fat ass when he runs again is no conservative. I’ll vote ‘Rat first.

And that helps, how? If there is a conservative alternative he should be supported in the primaries. Write him in if he's not the candidate. But vote in a RAT?
