From his Facebook Page:
The Senate's failure to extend the Patriot Act is a failure of the US government to perform its most important function - protecting its citizens from harm. This is the unfortunate result of misguided ideologues who have no real world experience in fighting terrorism putting their uninformed beliefs above the safety and security of our citizens. This dysfunction is what we have come to expect from Washington, DC, but usually it does not have such dangerous and severe consequences.
I'll leave this to y'all.

I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!
Personally, I rate him about the same as the average Democrat, with the exception being that he is occasionally right about some of the fiscal issues.

If your use of the word 'progressive' is New Speak for Communist, then I agree wholeheartedly!

The problem with a law like the Patriot Act is that whether it stays within the boundaries of the Constitution depends on which party is in power. Conservatives are definitely more constitutionally minded So with what we have now in the White House and Oval Office, it can be brutally abused. I can see where Christie's coming from and I agree in principle, but I think the PA should be put away in the closet until the present Marxist Regime is out of office, if it ever is. But the problem here is if we lose some protections from the Radical Muslims we won't have anything to back it up, because Numbnutz will allow ISIS to come into this country with its totally inept stance on defense. The Dems are totally worthless when it comes to protecting the Citizens of this Country.
Son that's somebody with nothing to do with his time but keep me in trouble with mom.
The problem with Christi is he was born and raised in one of the most left leaning parts of this country. He is definitely more conservative than the local Dummycraps in his area, but he's still pretty damn Progressive. And yes, these days progressive is about the same thing as a commie.

Yes I would. Now that you've made this point once again on here, tell me what you will gain by staying home or voting for no way joe! If it IS the only choice afforded me, I WILL vote for the lesser of two evils.
Also, no one even resembling Christi will get my vote in the Primary, because in the primary here, we don't offer any republican that's even on the bus with him as being a liberal. BUT! I for one think your argument is a MOOT POINT From HELL because ain't no way that guy's getting the Republican Nomination, not with all the solid conservatives running.

I picked communism because the progressives want everyone equally poor and dependent on the government teat for their sustenance..........................except for the ruling elite.
― Douglas Adams
Yes, but they also like government-run capitalism and tight control of peoples' behavior when it comes to personal choices. I think progressives are a mixture of both.

I agree, and I don't think there's a snow balls chance in hell Christi will be the Republican Nominee, but just suppose he would get it and running against Hillary. I admit in that case He would get my vote. Like I've said before, no way I'm letting anybody that smells like Hillary walk into the White House. However, no way Christi will get that nomination.

I believe you're confusing political ideology with totalitarinism. It goes across political lines and I think deserves its own political category. Right or left extremes on both ends of the spectrum. In the far right it's called fascism as opposed to conservatism, in the far left it surpasses "Progressivism" in the same way being a Conservative surpasses being liberal. Complete order on one hand to complete intolerant chaos on the other.
The Repunklickan Establishment has no more use for a free middle-class than the Bolsheviks. Do you want to be owned in a company town or a Government Gulag?
Paddle faster!!! I hear banjos.

Awww. . .this thread is so cute. All the children still optimistic enough to think that anyone who seeks that position is worthy of the job. . .
The way the ballots ideally SHOULD be structured is to check all the boxes of people you DON'T want in office, leaving the least unpalatable option blank.

From Wkipedia: Fascism (/fæʃɪzəm/) is a form of reactionary authoritarian nationalism[1][2] that came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. Influenced by national syndicalism, fascism originated in Italy during World War I, in opposition to liberalism, Marxism, and traditional conservatism. Fascism is often placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum, but some academics call that description inadequate.
Glen Beck classifies fascism as "The European Right" not the American right, and is not that much different than their left, except for economic policy. I don't believe conservatism has any relation to fascism, and if you go further right than a conservative, you get to libertarian.
He has proven this over and over again. The only reason anybody likes Christie is because he took on unions in 'Jersey and made them take water. Past that, meh. He's more than an empty suit, but not much.

Yup, you won't see John Boehner and Mitch McConnell pushing back on Chris Christie the way they are pushing back on Obama and thwarting his agenda! :rotflmao::rotflmao:
Hell, they'd give Christie oral sex.

Chris Christie was on the beach in a speedo getting some sun. A bunch of Save the Whales people rolled him into the water. He crawled back out on the sand, and they rolled him back in again. Christie was heard to say (curse words eliminated) "Knock it off, you :cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss: long haired feaks! You're washing off my :cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss: suntan oil!"
