The RINO King. Why don’t tubs of pig vomit like this puke just go Democrat? Why they got to commandeer the Republican name? This is exactly why we need a new party, because the cancer in the Repub party is too far spread. A new one need to be started, call it “The actual Republican party”

This is pure political spectacle on Christie’s part. There is no substantive evidence that homosexuality is genetic, and the evidence is heavily on the side of it NOT being genetic. That means it is a learned, nurtured behavior.

To say that no one can help these poor souls escape some prior coercion that opened them to a behavior that will kill them a decade or two earlier than the larger population is an abomination.

Christie might think he’s playing to some libertarian streak in the republican party, but I guarantee you that they, too, know this is a destructive behavior.

Some have evidence that alcoholism/addiction also has some genetic component.

Will Christie sign a bill that forbids treatment of alcoholics/addicts?

He is a total idiot!

Why not ban attempts to cure all other mental illnesses as well? Makes as much sense!

Any remaining delusions of conservatism with regard to Christie should have completely evaporated with this move.

I cannot see him repudiating any marriage redefinition bill that crosses his desk now. How can he, when he admittedly sees homosexuality as inborn and “not a sin?” Wait for a full-on assault by the Gaystapo legislature to pass a new one quickly.

Looks like Krispy Kreme is trying to win over the support of Faux News in the battle against Jeb for the GOPe nomination in 2016.

Slowly the light of freedom is being extinguished in this country.

Just curious, but if people are born that way and don’t change, then why is one of the NYC mayoral candidates married to a “former lesbian”?

So, people who were molested as children and pursued homosexuality due to the resulting confusion, should not be counseled?

By the way Guv, does it bother you that 80% of homosexuals were molested as minors?

Or, do you believe 100% of homosexuals were “born that way”?

Because you see Guv, if only 1% were NOT “born that way”, you are now denying them treatment.

So much for freedom of religion.

Constitution? Bill of Rights? Baa Humbug!

“Will Christie sign a bill that forbids treatment of alcoholics/addicts?”

No, but I’m sure he’ll see that the state foots the bill of every inmate who wants to mutilate their genitals and undergo “gender reassignment surgery.”

This is why I will never vote for Chris Christie. He is as socially liberal as Obama.

If it’s Hillary vs. Christie I will stay home and let Hitlery win.
