Changes

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.  But Christie was passed over by Romney in his selection of a candidate for Vice President, despite how Christie might attracted [[Catholic]] voters nationwide, as well as Irish and Italian American voters, and helped carry nearby [[Pennsylvania]].  Instead, Christie was picked to deliver the keynote address at the [[Republican National Convention]], and will likely be appointed as [[Attorney General]] if Romney is elected president.

Christie is a [[RINO]], as illustrated by his refusal to renew the appointment of a New Jersey Supreme Court Justice who provided the swing vote against [[same-sex marriage]], and subsequently nominating candidates who were widely criticized by [[conservatives]]. He also has been crizized for his supporting of [[Gun control]].

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]].

Christie is also a [[PLINO]] - he 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.

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.

 

There have also been doubts among some conservative voters concerning his commitment to fighting the rise of [[Sharia law]] and the Islamization of America.<ref>See comments posted at http://conservativebyte.com/2011/08/chris-christie-blasts-crazies-after-appointing-muslim-judge-the-sharia-law-business-is-just-crap/</ref>
