No CPAC for Chris Christie!

How Conservative is Chris Christie?

How much of a conservative is Chris Christie? His appearance and his trumpeting of conservative ideologies match the Party’s logo, but is he a RINO? (Republican in name only)

As one of his initial campaign workers and a continuing supporter, I find myself asking: Has Christie made NJ a more affordable place to live? I cannot even begin to count how many times I, and other campaign works, told voters that by electing Chris Christie, NJ could be an affordable place to live again. Is it?

Few will forget the following scene from the movie, Jerry Macquire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaiSHcHM0PA In New Jersey, a lot of people are asking the same question. And how can Christie support, or more importantly, why didn’t the Gov stop the Wisniewski crowd from installing the red light cams or kill the Corzine initiated Medical Marijuana shops? (Now they will tax a “prescription medication”, how humane!) Such revenue generating practices, one overt, the other covert, are taxes that feed the spending machines, governments at all levels in the state. Is that how a “Conservative Republican” lowers taxes and cuts spending?

In reading http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/341626/no-cpac-invite-christie-because-limited-future-republican-party-eliana-johnson , the reader should take note of the several potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates who are slated to appear, those being, Senators Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Rand Paul (Ky.), and Governor Bobby Jindal (La.). It would have been interesting to see Christie interfacing with that group of attendees.
