Chris Christie the Coward

It boggles my mind that the Republican establishment actually believes that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is viable and sought after Presidential material. Even the Governor himself knows he is not. It speaks to the weakness of the field but I would like to blog about the cowardice of the Governor. He has proclaimed his own opposition to gay marriage and although I disagree with his position, he certainly is not that far outside mainstream opinion. What I call cowardice, is his unwillingness to deal with the actual reality of having to veto or sign such a bill if it reaches his desk. Instead, he hides behind the bogus referendum argument...let the people decide. Unfortunately, as history has shown, people have prejudice and hate in their hearts which manifests itself in how they vote. If you vote hate, then you deny freedom and liberty to all. We cannot allow people to vote on civil rights. Imagine if we in 1953 asked citizens of the south to vote on school integration or public use of facilities by all citizens? Racist attitudes would have prevailed, delaying what was right then and right now for all groups seeking fair treatment. It is an act of cowardice and hopefully the NJ legislature can find a way to avoid such a situation from happening. Don't hide behind your own beliefs Governor. Let the legislative process and fairness and American values rule the day. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
