Washington Times editor: Christie a 'RINO

After the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times may be the biggest editorially conservative newspaper out there. And not that it's particularly influential -- nationally or otherwise -- but Times Editor Brett Decker has a column bashing N.J. Gov. Chris Christie as a "RINO":

Mr. Christie took on the Garden State’s teacher unions, but it otherwise takes a lot of hunting to find other issues on which the governor supports the conservative line. He has a liberal record on guns, abortion, homosexual marriage and global warming, for example. ...

Republicans would do better to build up a leader who actually agrees with the party’s platform.
