A Gallup poll (click here) posted on Wednesday found the brash East Coast Republican has a favorability rating of 52 percent among all Americans and an unfavorability rating of 20 percent....
He should not have given into the extremists. It will turn out to be the worst decisions he ever made. He violated the public trust this time. Darn shame.
Republicans never understand a northern electorate. They always get it wrong.
This reporting from NJ.com is from the Hunterdon Democrat. That newsprint has been around forever.
There is only one saving grace for him and that is to speak about specifics of what he disagree with in the bill. Even then, unless there are some real underlying problems with the bill, he won't be considered correct.
He called for the background check bill and now refuses to sign it? Like, what?
He should not have vetoed it without telling the people of New Jersey he was going to and why. This is just about as unforgivable as it comes.

TRENTON — After months of pressure (click here) from both sides of the gun control debate, Gov. Chris Christie today refused to sign three controversial gun control measures sitting on his desk — including a version of a weapon ban that he had called for.
Christie altered two bills, sending them back to the Legislature — a massive measure (S2723) known as state Senate President Stephen Sweeney’s “centerpiece” to overhaul the way the state issues firearms ID cards, and legislation to require New Jersey law enforcement agencies to report information on lost, stolen and discarded guns to federal databases (A3797).
But the governor completely axed a bill that would ban the Barrett .50 caliber rifle(A3659), which is the most powerful weapon commonly available to civilians. Christie had called for a ban on future sales of the weapon in his own package of violent prevention measures outlined in April....
This dedication to the rebuilding post Sandy will not get him past this one. He'll implode from here. Maybe he wants to.
