Saw this last night (I don't think anyone has yet to talk about this yet. But Christie just earned some points with me. I think this might hurt him running as a Republican in the future. But he got a stading O from me. Check out the video.

    It is kinda nice to see some Republicans finally snapping and saying "I'm tired of dealing with the crazies."

    Sadly, my answer is usually "You're soaking in it."

    i saw this too. it is good to see someone with an R after their name smacking down this stupid paranoia.. problem for christie is he might actually fall behind in the polls for being a voice of reason.

    wow, i am speechless, bravo.

    one small act could change the tide against the political extremists, let's hope others have a similar conviction if pushed into a corner against reason.

    note; this post was and should be considered uniformly bipartisan! :P

    outstanding

    I don't live in NJ, so don't know the whole book on Christie, but from seeing him on the news channel interviews, and things like this, I like him. I may not always agree with what he says politically, but he seems to think for himself, and call things like he sees them. Therefore, sadly, he has no future in national politics.

    Don't like all his positions, but I have to respect him for this. Well done Governor!

    It's about time someone on the GOP told these guys to shut the fuck up.

    Maybe a trend will start ....

    He owned a Pizza chain and thinks all bills should be 3 pages or less.

    I think if Christie ran, he would have a good chance of winning. I don't know if he would be the right choice, but he could basically take Obama's playbook in the last election and use it to unite a GOP base looking for change and hope.

    At least he seems to think for himself ... just not sure how well that works out on a global scale.
