Chris Christie in 2016

So barry is not a left wing extremist? Sure fooled me.

When you're hard right, everything is extreme. (And ditto if you're hard left).

Translation: if you think he's hard left you've never experienced the joy of California (or Austin) politicians.

I think Obama is pretty hard left in his rhetoric, but not always in his actions.

I wouldn't call Christie hard left. He is probably pretty conservative for the Northeast if you leave abortion out of the definition. He is just to the left of us down here in Texas.

Personally, I don't think most on this forum are as hard right as some would say. I just think the media and Democrats have moved so far left over the last 50 years that we look hard right by comparrison.

I tend to define things differently from hard left or hard right because the definitions of these stances changes often.

I prefer to consider myself a Jesus loving Christian first, constitution hugging Texan second, American third.

I consider barry and his ilk as socialists bent on destroying America as we know it. Whether that makes him and his kind moderates or left, I don't care.

BTW, I leved in the San Francisco Bay area for 8 1/2 years. I am extremely familiar with the type of politics that exists there and to tell you the truth, Mordor on the Potomac is not too far removed from there right now.

If the Republicans nominate Christie, I may sit out the 2016 Presidential election for the first time since 1968. I think a lot of good Republicans like me might do the same.

Christie or Hillary....

Same thing....Chris Christie is a bit funnier, but on balance it is the choice between eating horse poop or chicken poop either way one is eating fecal matter.

And no matter what you do, you can't make chicken salad out of chicken poop!!

God help us if that nice upstanding person is our candidate of choice! I'll bet Hilary's campaign kicks in major bucks to make it that way.

I honestly and firmly believe that if Chris Christie is nominated as the GOP candidate for the 2016 Presidential race, you will see a third party candidate who had formerly been a Republican and he will take the vital heart of the party with him, leaving the old back slapping, cigar smoking go alongs behind.

Jeff B.

Then the Republicans split and the Democrats win... Just sayin'.

So be it. With Christie, there is no difference. And if you think Obama is petulant, wait until you have to deal with Christie. If he is nominated, I will not vote republican.

Do I think Chris Christy is a leftwinger? No. Would he be as bad as Hillary? No, because he ain't as leftist as she is. But OTOH, he is very, very far from being gun friendly, either.

Edited to add:

And I have had the misfortune of living in California, for ten years of my USAF career. So, I don't want that mess spreading to the rest of the nation.
