Christie Endorses Romney Before Tues. GOP Debate

UPDATE:

Christie made the endorsement official during a 3:15 pm ET news conference. Appearing alongside Romney, he said the country cant “survive” four more years of Barack Obama. You can watch it below:

Original story below.

Chris Christie to Endorse Mitt Romney

(Photo: Politico)

Fox News has learned that NJ Gov. Chris Christie will endorse Mitt Romney for president before Tuesday night’s GOP presidential debate.

Foxnews.com has more:

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, just one week after definitively announcing he will not run for president in the 2012 race, plans to endorse Mitt Romney for the job Tuesday afternoon, Fox News has learned.

The event is set to take place in Hanover, N.H., the site of the Republican presidential debate being held Tuesday night. The endorsement will be made in advance of the debate.

Marking a fast turnaround for Romney, the endorsement comes one week to the day since Christie called a press conference in Trenton to end once and for all the speculation that he would make a late entrance into the race.

Politico adds:

It gives Romney a major boost heading into the latest debate in New Hampshire tonight, and is a serioues “get” as he tries to consolidate support amid Rick Perry’s fade.

While the timing puts Christie out in front rather early, it will allow him to claim credit if a dam of support starts breaking Romney’s way. So far, even with Perry’s troubles in his campaign, it’s been more like a trickle of establishment types toward Romney.

      Sorry to burst your bubble but there is a possibility of her supporting Romney, as she has said in the past. Then again she also likes Cain. She will wait though.

      ***NOTE***

      Talking about facts there is something that has gone around today that needs to be cleared up.

      We all know that MSNBC is in the pocket of Obama, right? Today MSNBC reported that a Romney Adviser met with Obama 3 times about ObamaCare off of RomneyCare. The truth is that this is a recycled report, in order to destroy Romney’s campaign. The truth is Democrats have been using this guy as an adviser for years, even named the Democrat Parties ‘most influential health care expert.’ Truth is he met with Romney only once. This is a story reported back in March 2010. And recycled again. All of these articles are thedailycandidate.com/

      Romney’s true top adviser was Edmund Haislmaier from the Heritage Foundation. He wrote a great article about it at the Heritage Foundation’s Website, title: Mitt’s Fitt

      OKIE,

      Sorry your wrong:

      -For cap n trade, now against it – No he wanted the regional ‘cap and trade’ program because of all its promises, then they wrote the bill an in 2005, before it started they pulled out because as he has always said, he doesn’t know how much humans have influenced Global Warming but that it has heated and cooled around the earth. This came from him as governor and is now on youtube from three clips in 2008.

      -Pro Choice, now Pro Life – Yes, he had a conversion. Since then he has been working with pro-life groups to help their cause and he has fought for it. He was pro-choice back in 1994, that way 17 years ago, people change. As governor he was constantly attacked by the left for running a Pro-Life admin. Especially when he fought against the morning after pill bill.

      -Romneycare, now obamacare is wrong – Completely different. RomneyCare was to deregulate governments role and mandate people to buy insurance or pay their own bill (read Heritage‘s ’Mitts Fitt)

      -For Auto Bailouts, then against it – No he was always against it, he called for and wrote an op-ed that they should go through the process of bankruptcy to reorganize and decreawse their contracts with the unions.

      -For campaign spending limits, now against it – There are pros and cons, I won’t worry about this one.

      -For Tarp and now against it – Just like Glenn Beck, they were for it until they wrote the policy then completely against how it would be implemented.

      1. If we have a Democratic liberal Senate and Romney gets in there, and he compromises, what will he compromise on? IMMIGRATION, of course! SOCIALIST PROGRAMS, of course!

      Same with Perry – BOTH ARE MODERATES and Republicans in NAME ONLY.

      If either of these guys get in the WH, OUR REPUBLIC IS GONE,. IT WILL BE JUST A MATTER OF A SHORT TIME BECAUSE OF THE MAJORITY OF PROGRESSIVES IN THE SENATE.

      -For stem cell research and now against it – Sorry, he is against stem cells, even when his wife was told she would be cured by stem cells they said no. NYT wrote an article attacking him on this stance.

      -For Amnesty, now against it. Sorry, he doesn’t support it. The city that was given sanctuary city status in Massachusetts was due to his predecessor and was put into law after he came in. He fought and veoted a bill for Instate Tuition in Massachusetts as well. The dems tried to overturn his ruling and couldn’t get the support.

The House has already passed a version of this legislation, and just last week, Senators Barbara Boxer and John Kerry answered the President’s call by introducing a cap and trade bill in the Senate.

      First let me say that I am not going to vote for Romney in the Primary because he is OBVIOUSLY not the most conservative candidate, but if he gets the nomination, WE HAVE TO UNITE BEHIND HIM!!!

      Listen people, I hear a lot of you saying you are not going to vote for Romney if he is the Nominee and I am telling you that is suicide. EVEN Romney is going to overturn ObamaCare and that alone is worth voting him in.

      If we allow ObamaCare to be implemented, WE WILL NEVER GET IT OUT!!! It will be like Welfare and legal abortions. So many will get addicted to “Free” healthcare that we will never be able to overturn it.

      If you vote for ANYONE other than the Republican nominee you WILL get what you deserve. You will lose your liberty. Can you live with that. Do not misunderstand. A vote for ANYONE other than the republican nominee is a vote FOR Obama. Period. No way around it. If you can live with that, then you go ahead.

      With Ron Paul, A RADICAL CONSERVATIVE, I felt America didn’t need a GREAT WALL OF CHINA around its borders. If you know the difference between Islam and radical Islam, then you know the difference between Herman Cain and Ron Paul. I DO NOT WANT TO BE AN IMPRISONED AMERICAN , land of the free, home of the brave as Ron Paul espouses. Doesn’t make sense, does it?

      With Herman Cain, I like the idea of his 999 plan. IT JUST MAKES SENSE, regardless that he worked for the Feds – SO WHAT? All these guys are POLITICIANS and Americans dislike politicians, SO WHAT DO YOU DO? Vote for the most sensible, most truthful, most conservative of them all. PERIOD. LOOK AT THE POLICIAN’S RECORD. To condemn a man because he worked for the government is plain FOOLISHNESS. That’s like saying all government employees are evil.

      I began having some tiny doubts after I watched the last debate on TV (Republicans), then those doubts grew. That very day, I heard something on the radio that Herman Cain said and suddenly, I realized that he was such a no-nonsense, practical, and truthful man (my spirit bore witness to that) that I decided I would support Mr. Cain. I think he is absolutely PERFECT to be President. I DID MY RESEARCH ON HIM FOR SEVERAL DAYS TO BE SURE HE MET MY OWN PERSONAL STANDARDS (and I feel I have very high standards). HE DOES. He has not moved or changed anything he has said so far. Most of the other candidates have changed their stands on issues.

      During the 2008 election, when he was campaigning for the Republican nomination for president in Michigan, he was all about getting federal help for the Big Three:

      “The question is, where is Washington?” Mr. Romney said, speaking to a gaggle of reporters across from a General Motors transmission plant near Ypsilanti, where 200 layoffs were announced this week. “Where does it stop? Is there a point at which someone says ‘enough’? Or are we going to allow the entire domestic automotive manufacturing industry to disappear?”

      Against:
      Asked about Obama’s role in the managed bankruptcy of General Motors Corp. and Chrysler Corp., Romney said he would not have “sent $10 billion-plus to the industry prior to working out a managed bankruptcy. I think had the companies pursued that course, with the help of the government, of course, that they would have been in a far better position to protect their shareholders and their bondholders than they were having accepted federal funds.”

      @Shane

      I hear you man but understand 9% on 10 and 9% on 100 equal differently. That is progressive. It is the same as saying tax the rich more, those who make more 100, then those who make little 10. It is the same % but not the same in equality. 

      A “fair” tax would tax me at $10 income the same as you at $100 income. 

      I get it is hard to reverse the progressiveness of our country but I must stand firm on the beliefs of equality as found by the founders thru their tax system they wrote in the Constitution. Proportioned by population and uniform from state to state. 

      There is zero % chance this will stay 9-9-9. History will repeat and it will become 20-20-20. 

      We all cost Government the same regardless if rich or poor. We therefore should be taxed the same. Why should government get more from a “rich” man than from a poor man if we cost the same. Doesn’t this give incentive to be poor? And does it not take riches money to give to poor? Thus taking our responsibility of being charitable.

      I just listened to a supposed conservative woman repping the Republican Party getting all squishy and googoo because Christie endorsed Romney.

      Did the GOP mental midgets learn nothing from the past election? WE THE PEOPLE are sick and tired of right wing progressives, just as much as we’re tired of left wing progressives. I don’t care if Romney can rake together 50 trillion dollars, and get Christie and Bush and other brain dead right wing progressives to indorse him. HE’S NOT GOING TO GET THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION!

      Listen up GOP, the vast majority of this society wants a hard right turn back to the Constitution. You had your chance and FAILED. That is why the Tea Party was born, and is borne from coast to coast. We the people are taking the Country back from BOTH of the Parties an instituting new governance with out vote.

      I have read his book, and compared to Obama, Romney would do a fantastic job and look like Ronald Reagan. However, Romney compared to a REAL to-the-core conservative (like Cain), makes him look more like Obama. Remember, Obama’s books make him look like a real American hero. They can write whatever they want in a book…you need to look at what they have actually done. Actions speak louder than words, which is why Perry has fallen on his face!

      I’ve got my priorities straight. That is called being level-headed. Frankly, I don’t particularly care for Romney. I am inclined towards Cain — for now. HOWEVER, saying that I would only vote in the general election if Cain (or whoever my candidate of choice happens to be) was the Republican nominee is an extremist position. It means that either you have no clue of what is at stake or you have become a religious zealot for your candidate, a la Obama zombies in 2008. The only way we will definitely and permanently lose our Republic is if Obama stays in office.

      Hmm. If we keep a majority liberal Senate it is either because We the People are too stupid and lazy to vote them out, or Obama has already made it impossible for us to do so, in which case he will have elected himself president as well.

      You have got to get past the emotion progressives prey on. Taxing 500 billion more then $10 is Progressive, it’s Marxist, and it’s redistribution of Wealth. 

      The $500 billion man cost zero more then the $10 man. Both owe the same to Government. A flat $ amount not flat % of wealth. 

      I understand it has been defined as “regressive” to prey on emotion and say the poor will be hit hardest which is crap. A 9% flat rate is still progressive as 9% of 10 is not equal to 9% of 1 billion. They should be hit evenly, both rich and poor pay the same flat $ not %. 

      Do you not think the Founders had poor and were compassionate about the poor? I do but they knew Government was to treat us equal as seen thru their tax code. The poor would only pay direct taxes and the few indirect taxes they choose to participate in. 

      I can’t champion a Progressive tax plan revision 9-9-9 because it is progressive. It won’t stay 9-9-9 and a sales tax would be insane! Excise tax is the consumption tax that was argued for, not national sales tax the Fed has argued for. 

      Income tax has always been argued against for it limits prosperity. It also creates a greedy Government who easily can raise rates for more spending. Appreciate your thoughts.

      You remind me of an anecdote I heard once about an evangelist who was preaching in the streets. This irate guy came up to him and started shouting all his hatred toward God. He ended his tirade by saying, “I’d rather go to hell than believe in your God.” The brother, who had remained calm throughout the whole encounter, softly but firmly replied, “Well, then, sir, go to hell” — the only difference here being that we will ALL go to hell if enough Paul extremists refuse to vote.

Jesus says, “Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” (Matt. 13: 8) The problem with you Paul zealots is that nobody but Ron Paul is worthy of the presidency. Nobody else is clean enough, pure enough. You don’t recognize the good that other Republicans have done. I am utterly relieved that getting to heaven is not up to you guys.

However, there is 1 thing everyone must understand…. God is control for those who believe and no matter what we think or do he will lead this country where it needs to go to fulfill his word.

It is not Christie’s idea either to come out and endorse Romney.

      Mad Hatter is right on all his points. Since I never lived in MA like Madhatter, I actually researched Romney’s flip flops and the majority of these accusations are garbage. The majority of people on the Blaze probably think George W. Bush is a conservative….now that is a joke. Between him and Perry they are giving Texas away to Mexico.

      Everyone praises Palin and people are not slamming Palin for endorsing John McCain for his Senate run. John McCain is a RINO not Romney.

      If Romney was such a flip flopper and if Romney was so desperate to be president he would have renounced his religion years ago with his abortion position.

      I am absolutely convinced now that people just use this flip flop garbage(because the majority of these flips can be proved false with the assistance of a google search) as an excuse because they are bigoted like Reverend Jeffries and Perry towards Romney’s religion. If Romney were a southern baptist you would be singing his praises.

      You see, I don’t see a difference — not even one thin dime’s worth — between the policies of an Obama versus those likely to be supported by a Romney, a Perry or a Cain.

      I can support those advocated by Paul.

      Each of these men have histories. Each has a record of what he will support, or endorse. None but Paul have records with which I am comfortable.

      In the end, a vote for someone except Paul is, in my eyes, really just a vote for the same policies that are destroying this country for me and for my kids. I cannot abide that, and I will not participate in it. Your opinions differ, and that’s great. But if someone other than Paul gets the nod, and they keep on keepin’ on, down the same path we’re tacking now, don‘t say you weren’t warned.

      As to why Paul is running as a Republican: Well, it didn’t work out so well in 1988, when he ran as a Libertarian. He couldn’t get on the ballots, and he couldn’t get in the debates, because the Democrats and the Republicans have the system sewn up tight. In order to effect change, one must work from inside the system. And that‘s what he’s doing.

      Direct taxes are to be proportioned by the population 
      Indirect taxes are to be uniform

      That is what our founders established for equality and a check against Governmental powers. You get that… So direct taxes, taxes you can not defer to others, are to be proportioned (divided up) by the population (qty of people). No where is there found regards to how much you make. 

      Remember, the direct tax of capitation, head tax, was forbidden in Constitution. That left the direct tax of property or wealth but must be the same $, proportioned. This is why consumption taxes, excise, was argued for and this is why Progressives needed to pass the 16th so they did not have to tax proportioned. What do you believe the founders meant by proportioned? 

      The direct tax on wealth was either low, so all could afford it, or avoided from implementation for the reasons you stated which leads us to either property tax or indirect taxes, consumption taxes. 

      I’m not advocating a direct tax on all but that we follow the founders tax plan that did had checks and so to be equal for all. I hope this makes more sense.

I assume you don‘t like Romney because you don’t like the 10th amendment, because his health care plan for that state is a great example of the 10th amendment in action. Romney a RINO? maybe, since he is not an extremist, but if you read and COMPREHEND the constitution, you will realize that our government, with all of its checks and balances and its division of power is not intended to be changed dramatically. You want a true conservative in the white house?? Then you really want the government to be shut down, because they wouldn’t be able to do anything. The most successful conservative of all time was GWB, he spent so much money on wars, tax cuts, etc. and put this country in so much debt, that democrats are openly discussing funding cuts to their safety net programs. He is going to be responsible for shutting our government down by spending us into oblivion…that is what you want, isn’t it? All part of the neocon plan, all part of true conservatism…Reagan conservatism.

      Paul is not going to repeal the 14th Amendement but wants to add an amendment clarifying it because progressives have been able to obfuscate its intent. Ron Paul has written HJ res 46:
      110th Congress: 2007-2008
      Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to deny United States citizenship to individuals born in the United States to parents who are neither United States citizens nor persons who owe permanent allegiance to the United States.

      If that had passed and ratified, al-Aulaki would not have been considered and Amerian citizen and all the hoo-ha over his killing would not have happened. This amendment clarifying the 14th Amendment would do away with the ‘anchor baby’ fraud.

      As for Paul running as a Republican, I think Paul is following what real Republicanism is about. The progressives highjacked the Republican Party under Teddy Roosevelt.

      In 1975, Reagan began to use the term ‘libertarian’ or ‘libertarian-conservative’ to describe his political philosophy. Reagan said, “I don’t believe in a government that protects us from ourselves“ and ”I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism.

      Of course you should vote your conscience and do it on principle. My “cute story” (just one, the parable came from the Master) really happened, although the outcome was good as the man came to his senses. But I digress. I don’t fault Ron Paul supporters for wanting him to win both the primary and the general election. However, if they see NOTHING WRONG with Paul running as a Republican to try to become president, they should play fairly and vote for whoever IS chosen by the majority. You mention being principled, and that is my definition of the word. The “my way or the highway,” which in this case refers to those who think it is OK for Paul to USE the Republican ticket to achieve his goal (the presidency), but who will show no respect for or loyalty to the winner if the Republican nomination does not go their way, is a perfect example of seedy, unprincipled politics. Hope that answers your question.

Not a single one of them debates with any dignity or swagger or intelligence. The only honest candidate is RON PAUL!!! He is the only one who has a plan that is reasonable, he doesn‘t talk out the side of his mouth and you know what he is truly going to offer because he’s been saying the same thing for years! Seriously people. Romney will not change spending, Cain will not stabilize the economy, Perry is Bush, Bachmann is a mouthpiece. Paul you say is weak on foreign policy? Just listen to him for once.

As we all know..anybody in the Republican primary will be better than Obama.As for right now..we do not have to settle for anyone yet. Especially not for any RINO. You want us to stop picking the party apart. That is what this process is all about. For the candidates to pitch their plans for the future of the country and let us the voters choose who we think is going to be able to fix and reverse all the damages that Obama and his gang have done to our beloved country. It is too early for us to unite behind any of these candidates yet. Each day..we discover some of their weaknesses and their strengths. I will bet you..more surprises will come out from them in the near future. As for me..I will wait another six month before I throw my support behind any of them. I want to wait and see who will govern this country closest to the constitution and what the founders wanted this country to be.I am one of those conservatives who do not want to be dictated to by the Republican establishment and the liberal media. All they want are RINOs they so they will not lose their power. The Republican Party leaders are so afraid of the Tea Party and conservative who think like them.

The guy has stood on every side of every issue at one point or another throughout his political career. The fact that Romney still has so much support as he does exemplifies a prominent mentality shown in the GOP and is one of the reasons why I have distance myself from the Republican party.

      Therefore, if Michigan’s governor decides not enough Government Motor (GM) cars are selling nationwide, THAT GOVERNOR can FORCE its residents to BUY a car built in Michigan and not other car.

      It is the SAME THING!!!!

      He is trying to split hairs by saying he doesn’t beleive the FEDS should be able to force everyone to buy a product like Obamacare but ROMNEYCARE is the SAME THING at a state level.

      @ Shanemmcc — I knew that. I also know that there wasn’t much to choose from in 2008: Romney, McCain, Huckabee, and Paul as I can recall. Of those, the most “conservative” candidate was Romney. (McCain a solid progressive, Huckabee a progressive with a religious bent — much like the British Labor Party a few decades ago, and Paul a kinda creepy libertarian) I am not saying that Romeny fits into what I want in a “conservative” candidate, only that he was the best available in 2008. Now that we have Hermann Cain, I can’t see why a conservative would vote for Romney, though.

      After the early stages of a campaign to give anything but a full endorsement is to give faint praise.

      You can’t give a wishy washy endorsement & expect the person you say you are backing to have their poll numbers go up.

      When you go into a voting booth you don’t give a partial vote. You give a full vote even if you’re holding your nose.

      But once they get in office you can light up the switch boards to let them know when they are governing against the will of the people.

      If every candidate who might have stood a chance of winning is a RINO, and if every candidate who ever dd win in the past followed policies that would cause any candidate running today to be labeled a RINO, maybe they aren’t the RINOs, you are, and you should just form your own batsplat crazy Teatotalitarian Party where nobody can receive a nomination without passing a rigorous purity test that Reagan or Eisenhower would fail miserably and that is sure to alienate 97% of the voters in the general election.

      CHUCK…. let’s just say Romney is the RINO you say he is. And let’s just say he was the best choice in 08, despite that.
      That still doesn’t explain why Cain endorsed him. He could very well have remained silent. Not everyone endorses someone publicly.

    Besides the endorsement of one over another, what has he done that proves he is a Rino?

    1. Christie is a RINO and always was. This list needs to be updated to include him appointing a

    MUSLIM to the state bench because Chrisite doesn’t believe Shia is a problem.
    25 Reasons why Chris Christie is a RINO
    http://www.conservativecommandosradioshow.com/chris_christie_is_a_rino

    2. Romney is a HUGE RINO because he believes in BIG government and that STATES should have the right to FORCE its resident to buy RomneyCARE. Obama USED ROMNEYCARE to create ObamaCare.

    Romney is trying to split hairs by saying it is FINE for STATES to FORCE people to buy a product but not the federal government.

    WHERE in the constitution does it say a STATE can say to buy RomneyCARE insurance BECAUSE YOU ARE BREATHING WITHIN ITS borders?

    ObamaCare is federal so it is hiding behind the Commerce Clause of the Constituent. COMMERCE is an EXCHANGE of BUYING SOMETHING. The Commerce Clause defines COMMERCE as NOT trading goods across state lines BUT JUST BREATHING – the SAME as RomneyCARE.

    How CONSTITUTIONAL is it for Obama/Romney to sue the FEDS or the STATE to FORCE you to buy SOMETHING just because you BREATH within their BORDERS?

    PLUS Romney is a RINO because he APPOINTED ONLY LIBERAL JUDGES to the bench as a GOVERNOR. Do you want him appointing a LIBERAL SUPREME COURT JUSTICE if he become president?

    One thing for sure, ANY Romney Supreme Court appointee would VOTE FOR both Obama/Romney CARE.

    I agaree. Perry is BAD. Romney is BAD.

    You say Perry is worse than Romney – probably because of his immigration stance that Christie believes in also. It can’t be because of the HPV forced shot because Romney/Care trumps that.

    I say MITT ROMNEY is WORSE than Perry because GOVERNOR Romney APPOINTED LIBERAL JUDGES to the BENCH who can make things like illegal Amnesty and ROmneyCare/ObamaCare LEGAL. Mitt Romney as PRESIDENT ROMNEY will CONTINUE to APPOINT LIBERAL JUDGES only THIS TIME to the Supreme Court. I cannot find where GOVERNOR PERRY appointed liberal judges to the bench.

    Cain is not perfect but he is NOT a RINO.

    I don’t care if he endorsed RINO Romney in 2008. I voted for RINO McCain. Our 2008 candidates consisted ONLY OF RINOs.

    @Junkie:

    That’s not true. The Republican slate in 2008 had one guy on it who was not a RINO. He’s on the slate for this go-’round, too.

    His positions have remained consistent for thirty years or more, and his predictions in 2008 were proved correct after everyone laughed at him.

    But definitely not a RINO.
