I'd love to see Paul Ryan jump in the race. He is someone I could seriously consider supporting strongly.

Christie's my governor, and I'm a conservative, but I still wouldn't vote for him either, regardless of his favorability. I voted for his main opponent in our primary and didn't vote for him in the general.
I don't trust him.

can you tell us why? what has he done to make you distrust him?
Because he's establishment, Willow. I'm sick and tired of the establishment. They fuck us every chance they get regardless of which party it is.
We had a MUCH better conservative running against him in the primary, named Steve Lonegan, and Lonegan was beating him in the polls leading into the primary election. Christie's establishment hack team of Steve Forbes and Giuliani put together an 11th hour TV ad spinning Lonegan's tax policy as an increase in taxes, which was just a blatant lie.
Christie is a lawyer. Since when do we conservatives trust lawyers? Lonegan was mayor of Bogota, NJ and had an excellent fiscal record there.
Christie has a lot of connection to liberals in his past, and in fact ran as a democrat in 1993 for state senator.
His position on guns is moderate at best, but leans to the left in my opinion. His position on assault weapons is definitely liberal.
He's done a few decent things so far as governor, like take on the teachers union, but it's mostly been rhetoric for the most part which means nothing to me. And he had no other choice but to take on the union because that was probably the biggest reason he was elected in the first place.
So no, I don't trust him to be a true conservative, because he isn't one.
America will never elect him to potus.
It would take way too much right wing cheating to get him there.
Ryan took major heat when his proposal to fix entitlements was first released...much of it coming from Democrats who demonized him for wanting to "gut" Medicare. That was a year ago.
Chris Christie.. I just on the news. No links yet as soon I find them I will post
