Awww, Christie is trying to strengthen his conservative credentials because he thinks he'll be on the ticket.

Fat people shouldn't have rights.

My religion says that fat marriage is a sin. I demand that the state of New Jersey defend my freedom of religion! Chris Christie being married is an offense against god and man!

See how stupid it sounds?

Should be right next to the "Should fat abusive loudmouths be allowed to marry" imitative.

gee I wonder what the founding fathers would say about putting civil rights to a popular vote.

I mean the real founding fathers, not the imaginary versions of them conservatives try to mimic.

"I would hope the Legislature would be willing to trust the people the way I'm willing to trust the people," Christie said, reiterating his personal opposition to gay marriage. "I think it's the institution of marriage and it's bigger than just a word, it's hundreds of years of tradition both legally and societally and religiously and that's what I stand up in protecting.

Goof point there is religious and traditional backing of when a wife's husband dies she marries his brother. Lets have legislation to force that because tradition and religion is all that matters for civil rights... right?

This is a cop-out. He wants it to pass but still wants to keep his credentials in case he runs for Prez in 2016.

WTF Indeed: Awww, Christie is trying to strengthen his conservative credentials because he thinks he'll be on the ticket.

No way two northern, moderate republicans will be on the same ticket. But yes, es gearing for 2016.

WTF Indeed: Awww, Christie is trying to strengthen his conservative credentials because he thinks he'll be on the ticket.

Please! When he came down to Maryland to shill for Bobby Haircut's attempt to reinsert himself into the Governor's Mansion, he actually hurt his chances. No one wants Christie on a public salary: the food stipend alone would increase the deficit by 20%.

How 'bout we vote on his right to eat pudding?

Still, Christie said he would be willing to consider strengthening the legal protections under the state's civil unions law, and when he heard hospitals were denying visitation to same-sex partners, he called on Health Commissioner Mary O'Dowd to look into the matter.

How very big of you, Governor Christie.

Um... This is leagues better than not putting it to a vote. You do realize that the current status quo is no gay marriage, right?

There should be a referendum on his personal civil rights. All of them.

I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

Rock, Rock On, dude.

Newsflash regarding Chris Christie being found pants-down in a public park in 3...2...1...

Hmmm... Perhaps they shouldn't have taken a vote when passing the Constitution.

LOL. They're talking about "gay marriage", subby, not civil rights.

"I think it's the institution of marriageslavery and it's bigger than just a word, it's hundreds of years of tradition both legally and societally and religiously and that's what I stand up in protecting."

Outrageous. Why can't New Jersey just have it imposed by a court like we're supposed to handle these things?

Dude, cut him some slack. He's nominated a Muslim and an openly gay African-American to the New Jersey Supreme Court and ridiculed people who suggested that he was an assclown because of those nominations. Besides that, he could be playing off the latest NJ polls that suggest a majority of his state's residents support same-sex marriage and trying to defuse any possible argument from the opposition that it hasn't been approved through the "proper channels."

CitizensUnited: LOL. They're talking about "gay marriage", subby, not civil rights.

You really should give up. You have got to be the least effective troll on here by far.

I bet he just met some wealthy Mormon that said they can bankroll the whole effort to get it squashed.

Who has he been hanging out with lately?

Meanwhile he does nothing about gun rights in NJ, but Gay Marriage, that's something that needs tweaking.

I wonder what they would say about social security, medicare, and ignoring the 9th and 10th amendments unless one wants to smoke weed. I mean the real founding fathers, not the selectively edited versions of them liberals try to claim existed.

Good idea Christie maybe next we can vote on acceptable weight ranges and if you fall outside that you are forcibly put on a diet/exercise program. If the government is involved in the bedroom why not the kitchen.

Liberals aren't the ones lying about what the founding fathers said and believed in to support their BS positions on issues.

jjorsett: Outrageous. Why can't New Jersey just have it imposed by a court like we're supposed to handle these things?

"Imposing" equal protection, which is already the law of the land. So, so horrible.
