Rand Paul to Chris Christie: Cool it With the Temper Tantrums & Grandstanding, Alright?

Jan. 18, 2013 10:10pm Becket Adams

Sen. Ran Paul Publicly Reprimands Gov. Chris Christie For Constantly Making a Scene

If it seems like Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) have been in the news an awful lot recently, it’s because they have been — the New Jersey governor for his harsh criticism of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and the National Rifle Association and the Kentucky senator for his vow to “nullify” the president’s new gun-control measures.

And if you’ve been waiting for a news story that involves both GOP heavyweights, well, you’re in luck: Sen. Paul on Friday publicly reprimanded Gov. Christie for “not standing up for Second Amendment rights in the ongoing gun control debate,” as CNN puts it.

“You have some Republicans backing down like Christie backing down and criticizing the NRA, and I think that doesn’t do us any good,” Sen. Paul told conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham. “So I think Republicans do need to stand more firmly on this issue.”

Asked why he thinks Gov. Christie chose to take such a hard stance against the NRA and its “reprehensible” anti-Obama ad, Sen. Paul said he thinks the governor is merely posturing.

“I think he may be solidifying his support with Democrats in New Jersey and maybe liberal Republicans,” the Kentucky senator said.

“If he wishes to do something nationally, I think criticizing the Second Amendment movement and the over-the-top, ‘give me my money’ stuff, ‘I want all sixty billion now or I’ll throw a tantrum’ — I don’t think that’s going to play well in the Republican primary,” he added.

Sen. Paul also took issue with the New Jersey governor’s habit of attacking conservatives, referring specifically to the governor’s blistering anti-John Boehner press conference. Paul explained that House Republicans were hesitant to pass the Hurricane Sandy bill because of what was in it, not what it was intended for.

“I think people need to think through what their positions on these things are,” he said.

Final Thought: Although Gov. Christie’s anti-Boehner press conference is considered by many to be his official “I’m not interested in running in 2016” party, the governor hasn’t definitively ruled out higher office. Furthermore, there have been rumors that Sen. Paul is seriously considering a presidential run.

Could this eventually turn into a Christie/Paul face off in the GOP presidential primary? Boy, that would be entertaining.

I thought I liked Christie because he has nice name, nice family, was courageous, and outspoken.

But his mouth got to be too much when he criticized the the NRA ad pointing out Obama’s hypocrisy and defending the second amendment rights of citizens.
.
If he had nothing to say in defense of our constitutional right he should have kept his mouth SHUT.

TOO BAD, he had great potential He should at least apologize for his overdone remark, more blatant than anything he may have been criticizing against the NRA.. He should check the definintion of HYPOCRITICAL and see that the NRA did nothing improper, whether it suited him or not.

  Christie is a RINO extraordinaire. He is partly to blame for Romney’s loss in his kissing a$$ of barry during the Sandy crisis. Rand Paul is a true conservative and a good, decent man. Chris Christie just needs to go on ahead and switch to the demoncrap party and stop bringing filth and disgust to the GOP. Man, I hate this guy…

  The fact that you don’t like Christie because he opened his mouth is a little bit of a counterintuitive. Do you want to know what a candidate’s policies will truly be or not? Christie is a gold mine in this sense, as every time he opens his mouth, he proves exactly what he is – another progressive RINO.

  Christie was simply voicing the view of most Americans. Never before in American history has the family of the President been put in the gun sights of a political argument. Sure, the AM radio hosts mock the President’s children’s intelligence with mock stereotypical ethnic accents.
  
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC-ZJjFf4Yk
  
  But that’s to be expected from right wing comedians and AM radio hosts who make their living by pleasing their right listeners ridiculing and mocking the President’s children, Sasha and Malia. Their kids aren’t mocked on the radio, so they don’t care.
  
  But for the primary gun manufacture’s lobby to make a President’s children the focus of their beliefs is well beyond anything we’ve seen before in this country. Yes, they say, when you hear the words “gun control” think about Sasha and Malia. You know… the President’s kids, you know what I mean?… Think about the Secret Service protection to prevent the assassination of the President and his kids! President Obama’s children should be the the focus of this gun control debate. Sasha and Malia should be the focus of this debate.
  
  This is a new low in political dialogue. Thanks Rand for pointing out that the President’s kids are “fair game” in this conversation, and if you disagree (as most Americans do) then you’re having a “temper tantrum.”
  
  Rand, you are no Christie.

  I see the same attitude in Chris Christie. Now that he’s made an arse of himself hugging bama, made hateful remarks toward the NRA and is making noise about his, perhaps, future, I really dislike him.
  First, he will cross over to the Dems, then he’ll insult all his opponents with that brash attitude, then
  he’ll act like the school yard bully who never grew up (just out)

  It’s really easy for the president to sit on his mighty perch and lecture us on our gun rights when he and his family are protected by guns 24/7. Did he not surround himself with children and the letters that the kids supposedly wrote when he went on tv signing his 23 executive orders?

  @ METEORS
  
  Leave it to the lefties like you to extrapolate and exaggerate. Nobody did anything except to point out that the Presidents children have armed security as well they should. The only point being made, was that the rest of us would like some security for our children also. There was no attempt to suggest that the President’s children’s security was inappropriate. There was no demeaning of his children in the statement at all. The left can look at a square, and scream all day long that it is a circle, and expect that if they scream loud, and long enough, that the rest of us will eventually believe that it is a circle. Most of us live in the real world as opposed to you lefties. It must be some sort of chemical imbalance in your brains that allow this abberant thinking. For example, you all think that you are the caring side of our civilization; however, a short look at your websites reveals hate, and anger beyond compare. You all can kill 25 million babies without a second thought, and rationalize it a “woman’s choice”, and not see the irony in your thought patterns. You all are a very strange group.

  Do mean like Ronald Reagan on his mighty, kingly perch when he signed gun control legislation? Easy for Reagan to say. He sat on the throne of the Presidency, far above mere human like you and me.
  
  Maybe he had a reason though, he was almost killed by a would be assassin. Other Presidents were not so lucky. But now they’re sitting on their Heavenly perches.

  You reflect my comments like a mirror. CC awakened me to his self-serving motivations with what I call “psychophantism” (irrational drooling over Obama at the worst possible time). He is constantly trying to pander to the mainstream Left which holds a monopoly of power and influence in the Northeast coastal states. I am truly disappointed in him. I used to respect his outspokenness, but, it all means nothing to me now. I just hope Ann Coulter has finally awakened and gotten off the Christie bandwagon.

  You know, I follow this site quite a bit and there was a time last year that many posters wanted Christie to run for president. What happened? He applauded the government for it’s immediate response to a storm that hurt his state. He admonished a government that lagged in its promise of assistance. Folks loved Christie’s blunt, tough demeanor; his ability to speak truth to power. Chris Christie has not changed. He just happens to be pointing out shortcomings in the republican party. Rather than be introspective, many posters have just screamed RINO. You’re being really childish.

  The truth is that Christie was butt hurt because he was not nominated for V.P. He went out of his way to try and make others look bad while sticking his fat face in Obama’s pants. Benedict Arnold was a bitter turncoat and Christie looks like he is going in the same direction. It was never about the people, It was always about his selfish, me, me, me, attitude. He is a narcissistic traitor, much like Obama. Im liking Rand Paul more and more every day. The problem with Christie is that his real agenda is his political career. He could care less about this country.

  Reagan and gun control ?
  Here’s the legislation referred to by another poster:
  
  The lone piece of significant legislation related to gun rights during the Reagan administration was the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986. Signed into law by Reagan on May 19, 1986, the legislation amended the Gun Control Act of 1968 by repealing parts of the original act that were deemed by studies to be unconstitutional.
  
  The National Rifle Association and other pro gun groups lobbied for passage of the legislation, and it was generally considered favorable for gun owners. Among other things, the act made it easier to transport long rifles across the United States, ended federal records-keeping on ammunition sales and prohibited the prosecution of someone passing through areas with strict gun control with firearms in their vehicle, so long as the gun were properly stored.
  However, the act also contained a provision banning the ownership of any FULLY AUTOMATIC firearms not registered by May 19, 1986. That provision was slipped into the legislation as an 11th hour amendment by Rep. William J. Hughes, an extremely liberal New Jersey Democrat. Reagan has been criticized by some gun owners for signing legislation containing the Hughes amendment.
  
  Please, people…..respond to trolls like meteor with facts only. That’s all you need!

  I am not a white supremacist, I am a white survivalist!
  
  Boycotts and other civil non-cooperation methods need to be an ongoing movement against any who involve themselves in the demise of White Males in this country, some big effect starters would be the boycott of all things, Hollywood, hit where it hurts, take away their income, find out who the major players of the liberal media are find ways of non- cooperation, boycott there programs all, absolutely stop attending professional sports events, take that income away from those who laugh at white males behind their backs, let professional sports DIE, let Hollywood DIE, let the news media DIE, their controllers all support each other in the demise of White Males in this country.
  White conservative Males need to unite in a national strong bond, exercising civil non-cooperation in all things that make this country work, if they have a any kind of a problem, let them fix it, if white males were to stop cooperating in all situations where those who hate them , but depend on them and need their help, I say stop helping them, if you help them, it is helping them to destroy you.

  @ Wannabee with appreciation. You well spoke of what many of us feel when we try to give the best of ourselves in extending the “benefit of the doubt” to those in public office. I would that we would all understand that the phrase, “2nd amendment rights” is far less accurate than “2nd amendment restrictions on government”. That amendment gives us no rights for the rights it addresses were already possessed by men and the 2nd amendment simply declares that the government of the US recognizes those rights, benefits from them and will not infringe upon them. The government has no right or authority to retract what they did not give. They may have the power via tyranny, but only if we let them. Best regards.

  Christie believes what Obama said about sharing the wealth. If the country goes to a Civil War Christie will have anyone that hoards food as such and have them put before a firing squad. If those people that prepared for it gave half of their food to the state troopers his state just might survive. If folks are caught hording their food can feed the state troopers and state officials – the most important people needed to keep order. After hoarders are shot that just means more food for officials of the state and lees little people to feed.

New Jersey is a foul and polluted state full of thugs. Chris Christie is proving himself to fit right in. Good for Rand Paul. This little skinny senator from Kentucky is proving to have chutzpah. I like him. He wants to defund all these foreign countries we give big bucks to who support terror. He wants to do a bunch of other stuff. I would definitely vote for Rand Paul in 2016.

  Yeah I’ll take the fat guy saying things in a ridiculous way than the Tea Party fool just saying ridiculous things.
  
  But he must be a RINO if he doesn’t 100% agree with the far right of the GOP.
  
  Love it – with a GOP like this the Dems will never be out of power.

  @ SHORELINELIZ: Couple of things:
  
  1. The vast majority of people in NJ aren’t “thugs” – making such a broad statement like that is foolish, like saying the Red States are full of uneducated rubes with low IQs who believe the Bible literally but do not believe in established science.
  
  2. Rand Paul, along with any other Tea Party candidate, has absolutely ZERO chance of winning a national election. The majority of Americans have a negative view of the Tea Party.

  I find it hilarious that either Paul would call out anybody for grandstanding! Just because the things you say are correct or mostly correct doesn’t mean the manner it is presented isn’t taking advantage of the situation.
  
  And the only politican that beats out either Paul is BHO.

  I, too, thought that perhaps Chris Christie had potential, but after the fiasco on the Storm Sandy controversy I was glad to figure out I was WRONG before he was elected into a Washington post.
  
  Unlike most other people, I wrote Governor Christie personally to tell him of my disappointment in him and his temperamental attitude! I told him that instead of harping on Boehner, just MAYBE he should be going after those who insisted on “packing on the pork” which made the bill distasteful to Republicans who want to see unnecessary spending cut to the bone!
  
  In addition, I explained that although I know the party needs someone who is outspoken, we also need someone who is conservative and actually has conservative values when it comes to electing people to go to D.C. . . . and he sure AIN’T it!!!!
  
  Goodbye, Chris Christie!!! He are TOO liberal in my book . . . maybe he should recognize that he is really not a Republican but a Blue Dog Democrat and arrange his party affiliation accordingly. It wouldn’t be so confusing for conservative America that way.

I am a conservative and I am sick of Chris Christie. I think he’s more of a confrontational bully than a real conservative. A fiscal conservative, maybe, I’ve never really heard him give a good speech about conservative principles as written in The Declaration.

  …He was for earmarks before he was against them…. type thing.
  
  But I guess the people of his home district didn’t forget, they didn’t even vote for him in the primaries.

  I think what Christie meant that putting the President’s children Sasha and Malia into the crossfire, and making them the the focus of of a political issue was out-of-bounds. Outside of AM radio hosts who make their living peddling outrageous comments, this is something new to the political dialogue in our country.
  
  Pointing out the threat from terrorists or nuts to the President, his wife and explicitly Sasha and Malia, two young kids who had no say in their fathers occupation, was probably not the point of the commercial approved by the NRA management (most NRA members are probably revolted).
  
  I’d imagine most Americans – although not the tiny slice of America represented here – are offended by this infomercial for the gun industry.
  
  What is incompressible to me us that Republicans continue to shoot themselves in the foot on every issue: gun control, minorities, women and, in fact, the average American, most of whom support gun control by the way. Who do Republicans think they are appealing to, I mean besides you guys?
  
  If Hilary runs in 2016 she’ll win, simply because of the positions the Republicans are taking. They know it too: you’ll see the shift more and more toward the center if the smart ones have their way. The only possible challenger to Clinton or Biden in 2016? In my opinion, Christie, based on his appeal across parties. Even I like hear the guy talk. He’s all you got that has a chance.

  @SendTheMeteors,
  
  I don’t agree. Christie is a Romney and a McCain re-birth. The only person that could beat Hillary in 2016 is a Rand Paul nomination. Libertarians or quasi-libertarians are the fastest growing political movement in the country. Rand Paul will get ALL of the tea partiers, Republicans and the principled libertarians who sat out, voted third party or opted out of voting for the “lesser of two progressives”.
  
  Establishment Republicans (progressives) will vote for anything with a (R) after the name, including Rand Paul.
  Constitutionalists will vote for Rand Paul because he is a constitutional Republican.
  Small “L” libertarians will vote for Rand Paul as they did his father in droves.
  
  He can debate, he knows the budget and he has principle.

  oh yeah, Meteors, sure. according to you it’s a felony for the NRA to bring up the fact that the president’s kids are protected by armed guards, while American citizen’s children are subject to gun-free zones. sure, his kids would be high-profile targets, but wouldn’t the same ring true for sandy hook kids? especially since the ‘ordinary’ kids are the ones 6 feet deep right now. you’re basically saying that his kids deserve protection and the citizens don’t. how does that make sense? i’d love to see you explain that point to parents of sandy hook victims. you think if sandy hook kids went to school with the president’s kids would they still be alive today? how are they any less important than the POTUS’ kids? so it’s wrong for the NRA to use children, but not the president when issuing EO? nice double standard. you liberals say, “THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!” and yet bash NRA ideas of protecting them just like the POTUS protects his. please, tell me more about the logic that brought you to you’re conclusion ;).

  Libertarian, I like your post. You didn’t call me a moron or anything.
  
  But I think you’re wrong. I think you’re way wrong, although I admit some libertarian ideas appeal to me.
  
  I’m not talking politics here, I’m just talking about voter appeal. Rand Paul is on record as saying that he believes a business should be able to put a “Whites only” sign on their door if they want. I know he says it’s appalling and offensive, he’s not racist, and whatever else he says when he holds forth on that position. But he believes a business ought to be able to exclude blacks, or Mexicans or women or whatever if they so choose, both in hiring and in the people they choose to do business with.
  
  Libertarian, that position alone would lose him the election. I’m not taking sides, I’m just saying a person running for national office isn’t going to win with that position. There’s not a chance. None.

Christie is probably going to announce he’s changing parties pretty soon anyway. He’s so pro-government and anti-constitution it’s ridiculous. It almost makes me laugh thinking back on all the people saying he was their dream candidate and begging him to run. I can’t laugh though because it’s kind of scary how many people were buying into his dog and pony show before. So many people that can’t see through transparent pandering and lip service.

  Ditto. It’s a wise move on his part to go on the offensive with people like Chris Christie, too, before the establishment Republicans and “conservatives” on talk radio get behind the RINO du jour. Make sure there is no mistaking who Chris Christie is and that he is NOT a conservative, although Ann Coulter would have us believe otherwise. Rand Paul would be a great candidate. I’m glad he’s getting his name out there and taking on the RINO Republicans early and often.

Rand Paul is the guy who is going to try to rally Congress in an attempt to usurp the power of the executive branch.

He has demonstrated his fundamental ignorance of the Constitution and the 3 tiers of American government.

And jealousy.
Mr. Paul can sit at his desk in Washington and live in his fringe fantasy world but state and local political leaders have to live in the real world.

  Rep. Paul is supposed to be a legislator not a watchdog.
  He is supposed to be the advocate of his constituents (and not the whole country), not an adversary.
  
  And the branches at the top of the tree are different than the branches at the bottom. The word tiers means groups or categories. In the context I used it it doesn’t imply any inequality.
  
  It would be next to impossible that someone like Rep. Paul , who is only popular with the far right radical fringe, ever advancing to national office. Anyone who is favored by the typical poster here has no chance of winning the Presidency

  And also when Rand Paul disrespects the office of the presidency and the country by trying to interfere with the functioning of the Executive branch.

I’m voting Libertarian.

Unless the second coming of Ronald Reagan wins the primary, I’m consciously, and deliberately throwing away my vote. Call it a protest, call it meaningless, or whatever you wish. I have made a vow to NEVER vote for a man just because:

(1) He’s Republican.
(2) He’s better than the other guy.
(3) The world will end as we know it if you don’t vote for the Republican.
(4) The Supreme Court will suffer.
(5) It’s the strategic thing to do.

No talk show host, including Glenn Beck will convince me to vote for someone by virtue of the fact that the other guy is a disaster and needs to be stopped.

Never again.

  dont go to any specific political party. The solution is simple – VOTE FOR THE BEST PERSON ON THE BALLOT. That includes primaries.
  
  Not voting is just as admirable – but unless you are bill gates, your time it not THAT valuable….might as well do something

  *******,
  Hillary Clinton will never be President. She is too fricking ugly and whacked out. People don’t vote for ugly people. Just like fat and ugly people are convicted at a much higher rate, even if they are innocent. Folks don’t like ugly.

  I’m right there with You Ranger.
  If the Republicans Push some Lukewarm wishy washy
  Moderate I’m DONE I will fight them with my Money,
  with my Voice, with my fists if neccessary.
  Progressives need to be thrown out of the Republican Party.
  Then thrown out of Washington DC an State Gov. an Local.
  right down to School Boards.
  If We Don’t beat back this Progressive Beast.
  We will Cease to exist as a FREE Republic.

  The stay-at-home vote or voting for a candidate that doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell of being elected is the very reason we are going to have 4 more years of Obama. More EPA regulations forcing companies to close plants and put people out of work, high unemployment, giving money to so-called “Green” industries who go brankrupt, now sending money to “Green” overseas companies,sending billions to countries who hate us, increased dependence on government handouts, and spending money the country doesn’t have. Romney may not have been able to correct many of the problems we face but its for sure the man in the White House hasn’t fixed any and have made others worse.

this is not news, this is media trying to fuel rivalry. The real news these days are the internal struggles going on in state republican parties

  You are correct. The republicans can either ditch the big conservatism or slowly be replaced by the libertarian and libertarian-leaning candidates. They can do this the easy way or the hard way.

  The existing base of the republican party is getting older which means more of them on social security and medicare. At the same time, the new blood wants to reduce entitlement spending. There is no way the republican party can merge the two sides, one side will always be unhappy. That is why we need to reform the election laws to allow the “constitutional” side to form 3rd party which will not cause democrats to win…..Cuz we will either have 3 political parties – or ONE political party

  Soy,
  You are correct. It was the old white farts that crow “don’t touch my Medicare !” and “I paid into SS, I deserve all this free money” that got Obama elected. The freebie crowd. Funny how when you get old you lose you morals and jump on Dem Prog bandwagon. For instance, they suck up 40% of all Medicare spending in the last 6 months of their lives. 40%. I don’t blame the younger folks for getting pissed off. You’re right. There will be no reconciliation.

  Wait a minute
  I’m one of those old white farts.
  But I’m all for Cutting Entitlements !
  including SS an Medicare.
  But Start with SSI Disability
  Drunks, Drug Addictics, Kids with ADD
  an the Terminally Unemployed.
  Start There then We’ll talk.
  I Could cut 20% of Entitlements without bating a eye.
  
  PS
  It’s NOT Doctors that are distorying Medicare
  or the Heathcare Business in general.
  It’s Lawyers
  Watch the Adds on TV if You’ve been treated for Anything.
  You can Probablly Sue Someone for it.
  an it’s only going to get worse with ObamaCare.

New Jersey’s Governor Humpty Dumpty has had a lot to say in the last year, most of it bashing his own party in favor of the DemonicRat regime. During his most recent spat, I thought he’d up-chuck his chewed potato’s and choke on them.

What’s the difference between Chris Christy and Harry Reid? Oh, about 450lbs…

He’s in New Jersey, did anyone really think in that totally anti-gun state Christie was anything more than a RINO. No way I ever wanted him as a Presidential candidate.
