Christie is a statist neocon cut from the exact same mold as dick Cheney and George bush.

After reading the article...the following stood out to me.

And get this: Despite Edward Snowden being in the news for almost two months, 31% of respondents don’t know who he is, and another 24% have neutral feelings about him.

Earlier in the day, the outspoken governor chastised Kentucky for taking more federal money than New Jersey, saying the Blue Grass state gets back $1.51 on every dollar it sends to Washington, while the Garden State receives 61 cents.

"So if Senator Paul wants to start looking at where he's going to cut spending to afford defense, maybe he should start cutting the pork barrel spending that he brings home to Kentucky," Christie said

"These esoteric, intellectual debates – I want them to come to New Jersey and sit across from the widows and orphans and have that conversation," Christie said during a Republican governors forum in Colorado, referring to those who lost loved ones on 9/11. "And they won't. That's a lot tougher conversation to have."


Good thing to know about Christie. Tough conversations he doesn't want to have with a few folks are apparently a good reason to kill people around the world with an overly aggressive military strategy and to spy on your citizens.

I am not a fan of Rand Paul, I don't really trust him. Kind of like Christie's personality as a governor but it sounds like I don't want him in charge of our military. It is good to know that Christie is more of a NEO-Con than I thought.
