Two weeks before an election in New Jersey lol he is a politician after all

 

[Katzndogz]

He is a liberal after all.

 

[rightwinger]

Christies veto of NJ gay marriage was all that has been standing in the way. This gives him a back door exit from the issue right before the election

NJ has long had a Civil Unions law and gay marriage is long overdue

 

[CrusaderFrank]

He's setting himself up to run for the Dems in 2016.

Sometime immediately after his reelection, he will announce, like JoeB, Jake and Bucs90 before him, that the Republican Party is too "reactionary"

A new hero has been born

He saw it was a lost cause and decided not to throw a destructive and futile hissy fit?

Tea Party's gonna hate him.

It's looking likely that Hawaii will approve gay marriage this year too.

Gay marriage is a catnip issue for the crazies, but you can't win the general by listening by listening to the Tea Party and putting a government bureaucrat at the foot of every bed.

Is too reactionary worse than reactionary? In other words, which you might understand, are you of the opinion that the Republican Party is the party of reactionaries and that someone can possibly be too extreme even for the mainstream fringe, like you?

Do you think those in that 7.4% unemployment and the average Amercians give a crap about this?

only in the small worlds of the left is this important

their priorities for this country is warped...and they are RUNNING it folks

Well - on THIS issue - the Dems are getting government OUT of the bedroom. Only the far right want to regulate relationships.

But did you just post that sarcastically?

Marriage equality?

If it's not a priority then why not just legalize it everywhere and be done with it? Afterall, a majority of the public supports marriage equality.
