| − | Christie declined to run for president in 2012, but endorsed [[Mitt Romney]] early and at a pivotal time, when Romney was struggling with [[evangelical]] statements against him.

Instead, Christie was picked to deliver the keynote address at the [[Republican National Convention]]. However, Christie earned the ire of [[conservative]]s with his fervent embrace of [[Barack Hussein Obama]] at a critical moment, likely costing Romney the election.{{who says}} | + | Christie declined to run for president in 2012, but endorsed [[Mitt Romney]] early and at a pivotal time, when Romney was struggling with [[evangelical]] statements against him.

| − | Christie wanders between [[conservative]] values and [[RINO]] positions. Christie vetoes same-sex marriage bills and other socially [[liberal]] legislation. But he has nominated Supreme Court Justices who are not conservative. He pardoned a man who received an absurdly long sentence for peaceful gun possession, but Christie has also been criticized for sometimes supporting of [[gun control]]. Conservatives have also criticized him for his stance on immigration reform.<ref>http://americasvoiceonline.org/blog/chris_christies_immigration_record/</ref> He believes in the liberal hoax known as [[global warming]], <ref>http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0511/55793.html</ref> and has supported the [[Obamacare]] [[Medicaid]] expansion. | + | Christie caved into the [[homosexual agenda]] by prohibiting [[conversion therapy]] for minors, which is a shocking infringement on liberty and parental rights. This probably rendered Christie unelectable as a candidate for the Republican nomination for president. Christie's nominations to the New Jersey Supreme Court have also been astoundingly liberal and even included a break with tradition in order not to renominate the existing conservatives on that bench. |

| | On the important [[abortion]] issue, Christie is a bit of a [[PLINO]] - pro-life in name only. Christie has occasionally espoused [[pro-life]] views, but since early 2010 he has done almost nothing for unborn children. The [[abortion]] rate in [[New Jersey]] remains among the highest in the nation. Still, it is unlikely that Christie would run ads in support of abortion in certain cases, as Romney did in 2012. | | On the important [[abortion]] issue, Christie is a bit of a [[PLINO]] - pro-life in name only.
