You and some of the other posters here really miss the point.

The point being its a good thing he vetoed the bill and we should congratulate politicians when they do the right thing, regardless of motivation. You can be SURE he will hear from the anti-gun crowd. We have an opportunity to speak LOUDER by thanking him. As he is more like a pragmatist than an ideologue it MIGHT influence him in the future.

I have been in the FOREFRONT of refuting people on this site who were backing Christie as the second coming after he beat up on the teachers and civil service unions - people like Ann COulter.

I POINTED OUT:

Christie was NOT really pro-gun. But he is not ANTI-GUN either. Tom Kean Senior would have signed that bill in a heartbeat. He is a dogmatic ideologue Rockefeller Republican who doesn’t believe in the Second Amendment.
On the other hand EVERY Republican representative in New Jersey EVEN THE RINOS voted AGAINST this foolish bill.

Christie IS pro-Muslim.

Christie IS pro-illegal invader

Christie did NOTHING to improve the New Jersey State economy or business friendliness since he took office.

Christie IS an arrogant bull in a China Shop, as shown by the “Bridgegate: scandal - what a stupid stunt - REALLY - but quintessentially Christie.

FINALLY, I HEARD Mark Levin’s tape playing of Christie’s clueless, pragmatic response to the Hobby Lobby Decision.

I KNOW what he is.

BUT, CONGRATULATE these people when YOU think they are right because YOU CAN BE SURE, the opposition will CRITICIZE them when they are on our side on an issue.

Good post on many points, Zulu, BUT (you knew the "but" was coming! ;^) praising Christie for this is stepping into a trap. On the contrary, Christie needs to KNOW and HEAR that he has forfeited our trust and that he has to do a lot more than shoot fish in a barrel to impress us with his hunting prowess and marksmanship.
