Donors Weigh Jilting Christie for Jeb Bush

Posted on by

Jeb BushFrom the NYTimes.com:

By MICHAEL BARBARO and NICHOLAS CONFESSORE

Jeb Bush’s increasingly serious and public examination of a run for president has shaken the ranks of establishment Republican donors and fund-raisers who had planned to back Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey in 2016, forcing many of them to rethink their allegiance to the embattled governor.

In private conversations that are now seeping into public view, some of them are signaling to Mr. Christie’s camp that, should Mr. Bush enter the race, their first loyalty would be to him, not to Mr. Christie, according to interviews with more than two dozen of them.

It is now time for me to make this statement — so that those from the GOP who may occasionally cruise by make no mistake whatsoever:

I will not vote for Jeb Bush.  End of statement.  If I have to write in my preference, I will.  But I will not vote for Jeb Bush for president.  No more Clintons, no more Bushes.

Period.

Hypocrisy?

Christie's OutrageLet’s see; no one died in the traffic jam.  People had to wait in their air-conditioned and heated vehicles.  How terribly heinous.

On the other hand, there is apparently no pettiness in “what difference does it make,” the lies of Mr Obama or the governmental closure of monuments, parks, and pull-off areas for photographs on state property of federal points of interest.

It’s Christie, so it must be bad.  Obama = good, no matter what he does.

Governor Chris Christie signs bill banning gay conversion therapy in New Jersey

Posted on by

Christie's Love At the Jersey ShoreA similar bill was signed Tuesday of last week by Fornicalia’s Governor Jerry Brown, as I documented here.

From CBSNews.com:

TRENTON, N.J. Gov. Chris Christie on Monday signed a bill barring licensed therapists from trying to turn gay teenagers straight, making New Jersey the second state to ban so-called conversion therapy, along with California.

The bill passed both houses of the New Jersey Legislature with bipartisan support in June. Assemblyman Tim Eustace, who sponsored the bill and is openly gay, described the therapy as “an insidious form of child abuse.”

In a signing note accompanying the bill, Christie said he believes people are born gay and that homosexuality is not a sin. That view is inconsistent with his Catholic faith, which teaches that homosexual acts are sins.

The Republican governor also said the health risks of trying to change a child’s sexual orientation, as identified by the American Psychological Association, outweigh concerns over the government setting limits on parental choice.

Really?  How about this: “The little boy who started a sex change at age 8 because he (and his lesbian “parents”) knew he always wanted to be a girl.”

Yeah.  Chris Christie for President.

Right.

RNC Convention: Chris Christie’s speech text

Posted on by

[Courtesy of the Drudge Report:]

Chris Christie's speech to the RNC on Tuesday, August 28th:

This stage and this moment are very improbable for me.

A New Jersey Republican delivering the keynote address to our national convention, from a state with 700,000 more Democrats than Republicans.

A New Jersey Republican stands before you tonight.

Proud of my party, proud of my state and proud of my country.

I am the son of an Irish father and a Sicilian mother.

My Dad, who I am blessed to have with me here tonight, is gregarious, outgoing and loveable.

My Mom, who I lost 8 years ago, was the enforcer. She made sure we all knew who set the rules.

In the automobile of life, Dad was just a passenger. Mom was the driver.

They both lived hard lives. Dad grew up in poverty. After returning from Army service, he worked at the Breyers Ice Cream plant in the 1950s. With that job and the G.I. bill he put himself through Rutgers University at night to become the first in his family to earn a college degree. Our first family picture was on his graduation day, with Mom beaming next to him, six months pregnant with me.

Mom also came from nothing. She was raised by a single mother who took three buses to get to work every day. And mom spent the time she was supposed to be a kid actually raising children – her two younger siblings. She was tough as nails and didn’t suffer fools at all. The truth was she couldn’t afford to. She spoke the truth – bluntly, directly and without much varnish.

I am her son.
