Christie: If Romney Calls About VP Position, I’ll Answer and Listen

Jul. 3, 2012 9:07am Jonathon M. Seidl

Just a day after his latest media smackdown went viral (watch it here), Chris Christie is again answering questions about whether or not he’d be Mitt Romney’s vice president. And while he’s never shot it down completely, he seems to be considering the possibility even more now.

“This is an election with one voter, Mitt Romney. He gets to decide who he thinks should be the vice president of the United States,” Christie told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “I love being governor of New Jersey, you can tell. But the fact is, if Gov. Romney picks up the phone and calls, you have to answer the call and listen at least.”

Watch it below:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

If Romney asks Chris “loud mouth” Christie to be his VP than it is sure thing that Mitt Romney will never be president. It will also demonstarte that he is as dumb as Ron Paul.

We do not need another arrogant VP. I do not believe he is so conservative either. Thought he likes gun control.

Christie is no conservative, just like Romney. If Romney were smart, he’d pick a conservative.

Christie wants a tax cut so bad, he’s willing to agree to a millionaires tax to pay for it.

  He says the people in NJ won’t be able to get a licensed firearm.
  
  He said it and is sticking to it, so, you know, there is that.

He can stay in NJ. He is a fraud. Allen West would make a much better choice because he uses history, facts and the constitution to belittle his opponents. Christie is nothing but a loud mouth who carries himself around like a dictator. Perhaps a good choice for Governor of NJ, bad choice for the country

  ROMNEY is already working on his Election Night concession speech.
  
  Romney (John McCain II) does not have the testicular fortitude to defeat Obama. Romney performed more vicious attacks on Republicans and TEA candidates they he ever has or will do on Democrats. Romney has nothing. He had nothing specific to say about any of the Roberts Court decisions. He has no plans for the economy. We are doomed so get use to it.

  It’s such a difficult decision…to vote for idiots or not…to vote at all. the vp needs to be a cross between christie and rubio.
  mitt’s people say that mitt’s agreeing the decision from SCOTUS is wrong and the healthcare plan is not a tax.
  ..the man is so out of his mind, out of touch..
  ..HE GETS A MEATY BONE THROWN TO HIM AND HE THROWS UP ON IT..
  what a mess we have …

Mitt Romney had better choose a level headed Conservative! Christie is a hothead and would rival Joe Biden for making brash comments. Aside from that, he’s not a good risk because of his physical condition. He’s next in line for the Presidency, can we risk it? I say NO!

If Romney calls Chris Christie for VP,it will be the biggest mistake ever.Romney needs to find an actual Conservative.I am sure there are still a few Conservative Republicans left.The Tea Party did manage to get a few in office. Who wants a gun Grabbing President and Vice President? Well…other than the media and the democrats…….

Great!! Sure, ANOTHER gun control freak is just what we need in the republican party. I got a question… If guns are so dangerous why is diabetes killing more people than guns? Are you prepared to outlaw twinkies and hoho’s, fatass?

  Exactly!
  
  In an October 27 interview with Sean Hannity, Gov. Christie admitted that he favors gun control.
  
  Christie: We have a densely populated state and there’s a big handgun problem in New Jersey. Now, I don’t support all the things that the governor supports, by a long stretch. But on certain gun control issues, looking at it from a law enforcement perspective, seeing how many police officers were killed — we have an illegal gun problem in New Jersey.
  
  Hannity: Should every citizen in your state be allowed to get a licensed weapon if they want one?
  
  Christie: In New Jersey, that’s not going to happen, Sean.
  
  Hannity: Why?
  
  Christie: Listen, with the Democratic Legislature that we have, there is no way those type of things -
  
  Hannity: Would you support it.”
  
  Christie: Listen, at the end of the day, what I support are common sense laws that will allow people to protect themselves. But I also am very concerned about the safety of our police officers on the streets. Very concerned. And I want to make sure that we don’t have an abundance of guns out there

  @sy
  
  Yes focus on the fat comment instead of the gun control point. He was making a point you chose to ignore.
  
  The American people need to be more armed not less. Police forces are now armed for invasion. The only thing to keep them in check is citizens being equally armed. Criminals dont care about gun laws. The only thing gun laws help is criminals and overpowered cops to do bad things.

  Hee hee! Good morning, MOM! Guess how I really feel about Christie as VP…… LOL
  
  Of course, he would be better than 0bama or Biden……but, dang, just about ANY American would……and I am getting kinda tired of saying “they’re better than what we got and they’re not a communist”.
  
  Romney better pick a Constitutional Conservative!
