The double standard never changes.

“When Barack Obama was campaigning for president in 2008, he declared that marriage is between a man and a woman. For the most part, his position was treated as a nonissue.

President Obama, by contrast, gets a pass because everyone understands—nudge nudge, wink wink—that he’s not telling the truth.
The press understands that this is just one of those things a Democratic candidate has to say so he doesn’t rile up the great unwashed.”

CHRISTIE HAVE GAY FRIENDS? THIS MAKE FROTH VERY ANGRY!!!! FROTH NOW MAKE FAT JOKES ABOUT CHRISTIE!!!!

In Christie’s mindset, America should have just put the slavery or civil rights issues up to a state vote.It makes sense when you understand Christie’s Party looks at ALL ISSUES as it’s “OUR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY”.IF IT DOESN’T GO OUR WAY,THEN WE’LL JUST OBSTRUCT.AMERICA is tired of this NONSENSE and will prove it this NOV.!!!!!!

Not by me it wasn’t. He failed then and he fails now. At least the Gov. has some reasoning to his veto, Obama’s ”I’m still evolving on the issue” or whatever BS excuse he used was weak and pandering to the religious right.

I’d say Chris Christie’s more big-boneded than bigoted.

That’s not it. President Obama has read his history. FDR for example learned that he could gain a lot more success in gaining broad acceptance for a lot of policies that for some reason or other were controversial, by expressing general sympathy & even agreement with the wrongos, while ‘allowing’ his administration room to move the ball slowly slowly down the field in the direction of the flow of inevitability – being the day when FDR would be all smiles in a photo op with everyone around him beaming as he signed into law the program about which he’d been saying, I’m not sure it’s too early for this. It’s not 11 dimension chess or anything of the sort: modern era presidents from Teddy Roosevelt on learned how to enhance the power of the bully pulpit first through books & newspapers then newsreel clips then radio then TV now in the wild wet world of online media. Roger Ailes could give a lecture on all this if he wasn’t such a manipulative meddler with his spare time tied up in pursuit of his own local causes. 

Obama obviously has a deeply loyal black voter base, & that base is a heck of a lot closer to the white gender-preference bigot position on gay rights than it’s at all close to the LBGT movement. It’s standard base pandering.

Christie is trying to be Solomon, but doing a rather bad job of it.

The legislature, voted in by the people of NJ voted for this change in state law.

If the people of NJ were so concerned about their elected representatives voting for this they could vote them out during the next election and vote for someone who would change the law.

An honest question to Christie would be, “Which laws do you think are the purview of the elected representatives and which are those of a random referendum?”

They should have brought back Roland Martin to do this interview.

I demand you Democrats pay for your crimes against my gas tank!!!!!!!!!!

STOP THE DEMOCRATS WAR ON GAS!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, remember when President Lincoln put the Emancipation up to a referendum?  Or remember that one time the Pentagon went with the 95% of soldiers against integration?  Remember that?  No?

Representative Democracy.  Operative word being “representative”.  Legislature is the best representative voice of the people, and they spoke loudly.  Dough boy slaps a veto, fine, they will have to re-raise with more votes.  And the Right will love him for it either way.

Obama doesn’t get a pass on this, but find it funny to hear a conservative tee off on him, as DOMA and DODT both changes in the right direction.  Change at a trickle, better than none. 

Sorry — nice try — but that’s NOT true at all since your argument is based on faulty logic. That’s because the people of New Jersey did NOT elect legislators based SOLELY on their view of gay marriage — in other words, how they would vote if the issue ever came up. Instead, clearly the people of New Jersey elected assorted representatives for a variety of reasons and NOT based on just ONE issue alone.

A notion which is backed up by the latest polls in the state.
From the LA Times, just a few days ago…

“Most voters in New Jersey support gay marriage, but a clear majority also
say the issue should definitely be put on the ballot for voters to make the final
decision, a new poll finds. The poll was released as New Jersey lawmakers prepare to vote Thursday on a bill that would make the state the eighth in the nation to recognize same-sex unions.

“The Rutger-Eagleton poll, released Tuesday, surveyed 914 registered voters and found that 54% support gay marriage, which New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie opposes, while thirty-five percent oppose.

“At the same time, 53% support Christie’s call for voters to decide on gay marriage in a November referendum.”

Obama’s “evolving position” on this issue will finally be declared by him with a press conference the day after the Nov 2012 election. 

Would that be the same FDR that interned the Japanese?

Only bigots have to say things like that.

Do you have a point?  Oh wait.  It’s you.

You should stop yelling online and at your gas tank.

The latter could get you sent to a very special place that would make you not have to worry about gas prices.

You’re not a bigot, Christie. You’re a coward.

Gov. Christie, not trying to be funny, sarcastic or cute, BUT, you definitely need to lose weight. Lots of it. Seriously, you look like a walking heart attack and no matter what one’s political views and beliefs are I would not want that to happen to you or any other politician. Get a qualified personal trainer and get a good workout plan and stick to it. Lay off all the pasta (Yeah, we all love it) and junk food. Good luck to you!

I watched this interview and couldn’t believe some of the questions this little fluffer Piers was asking. I must say liberals are not very bright!

CHRISTIE NOT BIGOT BUT CHRISTIE IS BIG IDIOT.  EMPHASIS ON BIG AND IDIOT.

For some reason I kinda like this guy. I like leaders that speak their mind, but yet are still approachable. I remember the days of Jon “oops I forgot my seat belt” Corzine.

Pandering on issues is something to be expected and part of the game in politics. That said there comes a time, and on civil rights issues that window is small, to state your position and take the hit. We are talking about a group of Americans being denied basic rights given to others Americans. Allowing second class status to a group of citizens while waiting for the winds of public opinion to change is not leadership and certinally not American.

Are we done with war on religion?

1. you have no gay friends!
2. it was on the ballot already when the people of nj voted for a senate and legislature that passed it!
3. the constitution protects minority rights– interracial marriage was supported by only 36% of the public 10 years after the supreme court made it legal!
4. why does christie keep looking at piers’ crotch so longingly?

Sure Christie does!!   Just like that Gay Sherrif down there in AZ. Figure someone that they know or works for them is gay, they just don’t know it or want to know it.  Republicans think that’s just fine.  It’s heresay for him to say that none of his gay friends call him a bigot.  Just sayin’  Way to try and fluff your own ego.  LMAO!!

FROTH HAVE GAY FRIENDS. MAKE FROTH VERY ANGRY!!!!! >:(

Republicans do have vast problems with their sexuality.  Always been that way.  Empty minds with matching empty scrotums.

 Sorry, people’s rights should NOT get put up for a vote. Can I vote on YOUR marriage?
