Christie Is Not One of Us
National Review Online ^ | 05/27/2012 | Andrew McCarthy

I feel something washing over me. I’m standing in New Jersey, so it’s probably red ink. No, wait a minute — it’s glowing ink! It could only be one thing: more conservative hagiography about the Garden State’s GOP governor.

Chris Christie is so not one of us that articles like “Christie Is One of Us” — a new contribution to the genre, from National Review’s Noah Glyn — are churned out regularly as the governor’s smitten admirers, from Ann Coulter to NR staffers, labor to convince us of what they’ve convinced themselves of: that an ostensibly gruff, internally milquetoast, progressive-lite, pro-Islamist Republican must be the second coming of Ronald Reagan because he has managed to make a basket-case blue state marginally less of a basket case. And “marginally” is the operative word. Glyn’s valentine to Christie is unfortunately timed. It was published just as Moody’s declared that Christie’s claim to have put New Jersey’s fiscal house in order is grossly overstated. More on that in a bit.

What has he CUT from the budget?

Not much....

Get back to me when he supports my second amendment rights as much as he supports Muslims and their mosques first amendment rights......

What...no witty retort in defense of a RINO? ‘Rat got your tongue?

Christie is a certified RINO.....always been, always will be....sorry to burst your bubble, but maybe you should focus on ACTIONS instead of words. It's the telling factor when faced with RINOs masquerading as Conservatives.

Slow day?

I saw that it was upheld that “cost of living” adjustments weren’t guaranteed for people collecting gubmint pensions in NJ.

Get over it; apparently you’re unhappy that your guy Corzine lost.

Na...not mine. Yours in a past time I'm sure...you fight like them. You never answer the charge, just deflect.

Let's just agree to disagree and call it a day. Christie is no “Conservative” and leave it at that. I do not know of ANY Goldwater/Reagan conservative that was soft (and I'm being polite) on the 2nd amendment...

Sorry...no dice.....talks a good game though.
