This is so typical of the divisiveness of the media. Somehow the competency of Governor Christie is suppose to translate into competency of Romney. Not. Governor Christie is capable of deciding who he wants to vote for, for the reasons that are his. But, that doesn't change a thing about the competency that existed between the nation's leaders when it counted.
I personally think the Governor is making a mistake, but, that is his mistake to make. Mayor Bloomberg stated his reasons he thought differently. To the extent people look for endorsements I suppose all this is important, but, it doesn't change anything. I truly believe President Obama has the ability to lead this nation in ways his opposition does not and Romney has proven that all by himself. I maintain my standards. Mr. Romney doesn't fit those standards. I believe it is important to have competent people at the top of the government, not partisanship.
Thinking partisanship is going to solve the problems of climate is a silly notion without a basis in truth. Climate is not about ideology, opinion or opposing ideas. Unfortunately, it has been treated as a political issue when in fact it doesn't even come close. It is time to get on with reality and not the fantasy that political partisanship can make what just occurred to go away.
JERUSALEM, Nov 4 (Reuters) - New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (click here) defended his praise for President Barack Obama's support after superstorm Sandy, but said he would stick with his Republican ticket and vote for Mitt Romney in this Tuesday's election.
"The fact of the matter is what New Jerseyans expect from their governor is to work for them, not to work for any particular political party," Christie told Israel's Channel 2 television in an interview broadcast on Sunday.
"I'm a Republican and I have endorsed Mitt Romney, I support him and I intend to vote for him on Tuesday," said Christie, interviewed in his home state by a visiting Israeli television reporter.
Christie, a popular governor widely seen as a possible Republican contender in 2016, had frustrated some in the Romney campaign who feared he had given what could be a critical boost to Obama, a Democrat....
If Governor Christie has a far reaching influence within the GOP then he needs to exert it that carries meaning to improve the quality of life of the citizens of New Jersey in regard to the Climate Crisis. His hero status has to interpret to a standard that works to defeat a proven and dangerous trend in our climate. His decision on his election choices, if partisan, should cause him pause. He saved lives along with President Obama. They worked side by side and this wasn't the first time. He has twice in his governorship faced these storms. This one was especially vicious. It demolished the Jersey Shoreline and the quality of life the people enjoy there. He can no longer deny there are profound problems with our Earth's climate. He knows it would be immoral to do so. I trust him to carry that understanding forward.
New Jersey - 2012 Presidential Poll - Obama 56%, Romney 39%
A clear majority of New Jersey voters (click here) support the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding most of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), according to a new WNYC/Rutgers-Eagleton Poll. Nearly 6-in-10 registered voters in the Garden State say the Supreme Court was right to uphold the law, while 37 percent wanted it struck down. This represents a significant increase in support, compared to the 47 percent who supported the law in a March, 2010 Rutgers-Eagleton Poll....
The economics of the GOP does not lend to prudent decision making when it comes to Earth's climate. The reason the Climate Crisis is coined as a political issue is because it impacts the economic strategies of the political right wing of the USA. People like Governor Christie have to begin to process the reality he is facing into the economic strategies of his party. They cannot continue to press economic ideology that contributes to the Climate Crisis. A hero carries brevity. I hope he takes that status seriously.
