Why Chris Christie is a bad idea for the GOP.

[Vox]

And wasn't there something before, about him wanting stricter gun control laws and he is now walking that back???

He has vetoed some gun control legislation just this past summer. However a little over a month ago, he had also approved some gun control legislation. Not sure what his advisers are telling him, however if he wants to run in 2016, he needs to convince social conservatives that he does not support gun control. The way to do this is to ease gun restrictions in NJ.

Christie also has serious issues with the economy in NJ. Many GOP'ers feel uneasy with his high tax policies. Before anyone can trust him to manage the U.S. economy, he needs to demonstrate that he could handle the current economic issues in NJ.

One pundit today, who is not a fan of Christie, said he lives in NJ and his taxes have not gone up, since Christie has been in power there, BUT his property taxes have soared...

and property taxes are regulated by localities - that is exactly what I was talking above.

100- Just like Raygun cut fed taxes, and state and local taxes and fees went up, screwing the nonrich...

How true. NJ's property taxes are amongst the highest in the nation.

I think they were even before Christie was elected governor.

That is what she said.

property taxes are regulated by localities - municipalities, counties, etc.
Christie put a cap on the state taxes. And cut spending - and balanced the state budget.
Since the state cut financing the localities, the local authorities, instead of cutting the waste decided to raise property taxes.
local governments are overwhelmingly dimocrap in NJ - so that is no surprise. But that is also the ones who should be blamed for it...

they were. but local property taxes have nothing to do with the governors.

property taxes in the county I live are the same as Manhattan ones.
And the county next door is almost twice lower.

Christie still had promised to slow the growth of property tax bills, and he did by capping how much they could grow and passed cost saving laws that have helped local governments comply. However, the net household property tax burden in New Jersey still rose 13 percent during Christie's first 3 years in office.

when all taxes are considered, the share of taxes that each fifth of households pays is similar to its share of the nation’s total income.[22] ITEP data show that in 2011, the bottom fifth of households received 3.4 percent of the total income in the nation and paid 2.1 percent of the total taxes. The middle fifth of households received 11.4 percent of income and paid 10.3 percent of taxes. The top 1 percent of households received 21.0 percent of income and paid 21.6 percent of taxes. The tax system as a whole is only mildlyprogressive.[23]

Misconceptions and Realities About Who Pays Taxes ? Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

Add the fees that go up, and middle class pays more percentage wise than the rich. BRILLIANT- if you're pandering to the rich and don't care about the country...

 

[Harry Dresden]

NO LIE, chump of the greedy rich. Blame the GOP and insurers if you LOSE your plan or doctor, or pay more. It's happening in Pub states and areas...and insurers are doing it...

its happening out here to Franco....and on the 5 oclock news the Ins broker they had on said the main reason is because the current policy does not have some key provisions mandated by the ACA....so it is cancelled and then you have to get one of the new policies offered....and in many cases it will cost you more and you may not have the same coverage you had.....yea it sounded like the GOP was behind it.....

The insurers COULD fix the policy- at least in the future they won't be wiped out or cut off- things Pubs have protected for YEARS...

the interviewer asked that.....he said sorry thats not the way it works.... hey Frankie i feel that you should be able to look at a list and say i want coverage for this this and this.....and thats what you pay for.....not shit you will never need ......

 

[Jroc]

Yup...Criste bad. Go with Cruz.

Thanks. We will.
Christie is anohter in a long line of "We Democrats would certainly consider voting for this Republican". Like McCain. Or Romney.

He is a Blue State Repubican...might as well BE a Democrat.

He's a political opportunist and a narcissists and the liberals seem like him until Hillery runs against him, then he wont even win his own state

 

[Harry Dresden]

100- Just like Raygun cut fed taxes, and state and local taxes and fees went up, screwing the nonrich...

when Obama gave everyone his tax cut a few years back .....what i got was eaten up by California who raised certain taxes out here....so big deal....

 

[Jroc]

Jroc dislikes Christie because the guv is a decent man, a principled Republican, and has no trouble telling the neo-cons to fuck off.

Chris Christie is a NeoCon, dumbass.

Evidence? Believe me, Jroc, if anything else, knows his neo-cons.

You don't even know what a "neocon" is fake

that sounds like quite a few Politicians.....

 

[jon_berzerk]

Simply put, it's because there us so very little difference between him and Hillary.

Will Christie defund obamacare?
Will Christie refuse to grant amnesty?
Will Christie reduce spending?
Will Christie stop the NSA and other government spying?
Will Christie secure our borders?
Will Christie reduce taxes?
Will Christie develop our oil and gas potential here in the US?
Will Christie stand up to the Muslim Brotherhood?
Will Christie stand up for our 2nd Amendment rights?
Will Christie appoint conservative judges?

If the economy and the country lasts until 2016, it will be on the very precipice of falling. If we don't try to get someone who will fight the progressive destruction of the country instead of going aong with it, it will fall. if Christie is on charge at the time, he and the GOP will get the blame for it.l

christie although he is a nice guy

is a progressive

Obama never cut anyone taxes, he gave out some tax credits, that's not the same

[Mertex]

Yup...Criste bad. Go with Cruz.

I was going to say the same thing!

Yup...Criste bad. Go with Cruz.

Best idea ever!!!

Or Perry.....now there's a good one.

Cruz/Paul 2016

You may want to change it to Cruz/Palin....Paul isn't able to stand the heat on his plagiarism and is ready to quit being a Senator, I'm sure being VP would really tax him.

Paul's sense of self-grandeur is so great that, like a pouting child, he threatened to leave politics altogether if everyone keeps being mean to him. "People can think what they want. I can go back to being a doctor any time," he said.

If he can't do any better than this when the heat is on, even those who were Paul "lovers" might be ready to say, "OK, go."

Christie is a great idea for the GOP brand.

As a "compassionate conservative" Christie is a great idea for the gimmes.

As one who cares for Individual Liberty, Capitalism and Free Enterprise I believe a Christie nomination is awful.

Christie is center right. America is center right. He is what America needs right now.
