Chris Christie Wants to Be Governor of New Jersey. And Ban Gay Marriage
 
 

14 SHARPE13 MURRAY

Don't confuse New Jersey gubernatorial hopeful Chris Christie with Florida Gov. Charlie Crist. Sure, their names sound similar. And yes, both are (lower case h) heterosexual. And neither of them like the gays very much. But while Crist — who called civil unions for gays "fine" — backed off support for Florida's constitutional ban on gay marriage (which passed anyhow), Jersey's Christie is going gung-ho over the possibility!

Christie is hoping to wrest the Governor's Mansion away from Jon Corzine, who recently became gay marriage's biggest fan in a hilariously transparent stab at votes. (Corzine has also kept busy making fun of Christie's weight.)

So how to stand apart? By playing Corzine's foil: "If you're going to make that type of groundbreaking societal change [like legalizing same-sex marriage], people should get the chance to vote on it."

Which is why Christie and NJ's Republicans are backing a ballot vote. But it's not like Christie is some terrible bigot who wants to infringe on all your rights! He's, uh, fine, with you getting civil unioned. Really!

Another fathead (and belly) hyprocrite Repugnatican who will flip flop like a fish on the hot deck of a boat to attempt to appeal to moderates. He lies just like his belly over his belt about every issue. And lets not forget the issue of all the times he has been pulled over for major infractions and has "thrown his weight" (we can go on an on like that :-P) as a prosecutor to get out of many tickets………….

The sad thing is, this moron could well be the next governor with Corzine's popularity plummeting in the polls. The GOP isn't really afraid to use yet again marriage equality as a wedge issue to get back into power, given their anti Obama agenda. They have nothing else to lose. They don't apologize for the hate campaigns, the town hall disruptions, tea bagger demos and disrespecting the presidency and I don't see them backing away from an anti-gay agenda either. Its what wins them votes, sadly. They are masters of polarization and negativity.

It's time NJ.

Can I vote on your marriage too? LOL

To the marriage police, please find something else to do with your time.

Christie = Roman Catholic.

You know, just like those Christians in Maine trying to end same sex marriage.

The guy Christie beat in the primary was even worse – not that that will be any comfort when he beats Corzine next month. Really sucks.

HOw about if we all band together, form a movement to remove tax-exempt status of the roman cult and any others who deliberately interfere in the political process? Why should they be above the law and not pay taxes at our expense?
