Changes

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.

Other other issues, Christie has wandered between [[conservative]] values and [[RINO]] positions. Christie has vetoed same-sex marriage bills and other socially [[liberal]] legislation. 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.

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.

Christie's administration allegedly used "thug tactics"<ref>http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2014/01/08/Christie-Staff-Using-Thug-Tactics</ref> to shut down a bridge in New Jersey as retaliation against a Democrat who would not endorse Christie.
