Is Chris Christie a bigot?

Chris Christie, Republican candidate for Governor in New Jersey, came out today and said he will do everything he can to block gay marriage in our state.
So my guess is the man doesn't believe in the basic principle of "land of the free". I guess if Christie had his way we'd amend that statement to be "land of the free except if you're gay".

Mr. Christie? If you're out there can you tell me what you base this decision on? Do you have some kind of religious opinion on gays or do you just hate them? Why is it they don't deserve the same freedoms as you, your wife and children?

Or is this just a ploy trying to drag the good old boys under your wing? Kind of like the the Palin syndrome when McCain snatched up just any old woman to try and sway the female base of the population over to this side. Too bad he didn't vet her before letting her open her mouth.

If we think back to the reason America broke away from England all those many eon's ago we can remember it was for religious freedom. Our founding father's risked everything to break away from oppressive overlords who thought they could micromanage the lives of the people. Now we have a man running for Governor who wants to impose his own views into the marriages of people living in New Jersey. What business is it of his who any of us marry? Shouldn't that be our right? Our freedom?
Chris Christie? Stay out of our marriage, our homes and our bedrooms. You don't belong here.

McCain? Are you serious?

The word is out: McCain has picked his running mate. The Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin.
A woman who is younger then Obama (Hasn't McCain been harping on Obama's youth and lack of experience?) and her only other political work has been as mayor of Wasila, a small town of about 6000 people. (She's in her first term as Governor-not a lot of experience there either.)
Although we're just learning about her, she does support drilling in the Alaska Wildlife Refuge, but this would make sense as her husband is an oil production operator. (Is this what we call conflict of interest? Why wouldn't she support something that would keep her dear hubby employed?)

Did she really try to get her sister's exhusband fired?

She's also a hunter. Maybe she can give Dick Chaney some lessons?


One scary thought; If something happened to McCain while in office a mayor of a small town in the Alaskan wilderness will become president of the United States. ((shiver))


McCain! What were you thinking? Was this announcement a red herring? Is there something else up your sleeve? Did you let Sarah's name slip so we wouldn't be so shocked at your real choice? Did you think the fact that she's a woman would sway the Hillary vote? Do you think Hillary supporters are that stupid? At least Hillary spent some time in the White House and on her own has a lot more experience.

AMERICA NEEDS A CHANGE

I have to say I'm leaning very strongly toward Obama. Let's face it. After eight years of Bush's republican politics we need someone to change things. We're in an unnecessary war, highest foreclosure and unemployment rates ever and between gas and tolls we can't even afford to get to work even if we could find a job.

Its time for a change and I don't think McCain is it. Here's a man who is so rich he doesn't even know how many houses he owns. (The number is between 7 and 9.) Think of it this way. You have a house that includes: Mortgage, Taxes, Insurance, Utilities. You keep it nicely furnished which costs money, buy food to feed your family and any entertainment you can factor into your budget. Do you really think McCain has any idea how much it costs to live in America? He doesn't even know how many houses he has! How could he possibly know how much they cost to run?

By the way, Obama has one house. He's the one I'm voting for. He lives in the real world.
