on gay marriage.

Following his veto of a bill allowing gay marriage in his state, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie accused Democrats of playing politics with the issue and said his stance is no different than President Obama's.

"I have the exact same position as the president… The Democrats in my state are criticizing me, saying my feet are firmly planted on the wrong side of justice. I said yesterday, 'Yeah, my feet are firmly planted right next to President Obama." And they don’t criticize him," Christie on MSNBC’s "Morning Joe."
Christie defended his view that voters should be the ones who decide what defines marriage in his state.

"Even though it’s against my belief on this, I’m willing to be governed on it [by the voters]," Christie said. Last Friday, Christie vetoed a bill that would have allowed gay marriage in the state. The Republican governor accompanied his veto with a call for lawmakers to appoint an advocate for same-sex couples under the state's existing civil union law.

[ProSense]

6. Utter bullshit!

President Obama opposed Prop 8. Christie wants voters to decide civil rights.

The NJ legislature decided and Christie vetoed.

"I have the exact same position as the president… The Democrats in my state are criticizing me, saying my feet are firmly planted on the wrong side of justice. I said yesterday, 'Yeah, my feet are firmly planted right next to President Obama." And they don’t criticize him," Christie on MSNBC’s

It's obvious he's not just an asshole, but also a cowardly one!

10. President Obama says it's a "States' Rights" issue.

In most states, that means a public vote. They're both on the wrong side.

[ProSense]

13. Well,

"In most states, that means a public vote. They're both on the wrong side."

...I suspect if he opposed a public vote in California, he would oppose a public vote in any state. Still, Christie is full of shit because the NJ legislature approved. It's Christie who is standing in the way.

[TriMera]

14. The result is the same. That's the reality. n/t

[ProSense]

15. No

"The result is the same. That's the reality."

...I don't agree. The NJ legislature decided and President Obama would not have vetoed the bill.

Christie cannot hide behind Obama on this issue. He can't

21. So, if Congress legalized gay marriage, is it your claim that Pres. Obama would veto the bill?

Because that would be the only honest analogy.

[tabbycat31]

18. The same legislators who wanted to put equality on the ballot

Opposed the Democrats' proposal of putting charter schools on the ballot. Hypocrisy much?
