Christie throws support behind Beauprez, stands by comments on Colorado, pot

Source: KDVR FOX 31 Denver



New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie barreled past a small group of protestors and into Sam’s No. 3 Wednesday afternoon, saying hello to midday diners and posing for photographs before making his way to a back room and holding forth before a bevy of television cameras and reporters.

There, during a 15-minute exchange, Christie said the Republican Governors Association is planning to strongly support Bob Beauprez, the GOP nominee in Colorado’s upcoming governor’s race while proudly doubling down on the comments he made three months ago criticizing the state’s legalization of recreational marijuana and its quality of life.

“I’m not backing off an inch from what I said,” Christie told reporters. “What I said was what I believe. I think legalizing marijuana is the wrong thing to do.”

...After being asked about the progressive protestors holding signs outside, one of which including a drawing of a bridge with the words “Christie, Go Home”, Beauprez said, “Here’s what this governor did: when the bridge thing happened, this governor said here’s my cell phone, here’s my record, held an employee accountable, sent them packing, took responsibility and took action."

And his lauded fiscal responsibility is simply another myth.

He's a moderate with a fascist on one end and a third-way "Democrat" on the other. That's the MSM definition of a moderate.

A true republican cares not for what the people want, he cares only to tell the people what to do and how they should live.

This is the divide between republicans and us. We listen, they say STFU and obey.

campaigning for you? And why does Christie think he has any insight into Colorado's quality of life? Go back to NJ, you fat stupid fuck.

Yeah, and never mind that NJ is hurting and everything else Christie's done to make sure it sucks so he can get his teabagger creds at the expense of New Jersey.

Never mind the Sandy Funds.

If Christie is Beauprez's role model for good governing, Colorado better step up for Hickenlooper, big time.

It surprises me that anyone would think Christie's support is an asset.
