Piers Morgan interviewed Chris Christie on vetoing gay marriage bill - VIDEO

I cannot find any Info on Obama saying "my way or the highway" maybe Fran could assist me.

He's running for vice-president this time around or for president next time around. He needs to burnish his "conservative" credentials and gay folks get to pay for his "principles." Can we all say,"bullshit?"

It wasn't principal it was pandering to the prejudices of the most bigoted in the country, by the way.

We should all vote on whether obese Italian American's with redundant names should be allowed to marry. It makes about as much sense as his lame excuse for ducking history and principle in pursuit of personal political profit.

Jamthecat - It's Obama who has consistently said "my way or the highway" and "elections have consequences" when he would not even entertain Republican suggestions. Also, Forflann, since Christie's position is the exact same as Obama's on gay marriage, is Obama also ass-kissing?

His "we should vote on it" bothers me more than his veto. I would expect O'Bama to use his veto to protect the Affordable Care Act and other hard won progressive laws if the right tried to nullify them. He is using his veto for his belief and if New Jersey will not re-elect him for many reasons. We have a bill of rights to protect the individual and the minority from the "tyranny of the Majority." Should we vote on the right of blue eyed people to marry brown eyed people? If a right is granted to any group of people, it is automatically granted to ALL people. The Civil Union dodge is also unconstitutional because "separate but equal" has been declared unequal by its creation of two different classes of people with different rights. People are people regardless of their physical state or their ideology.

I join with the Govornor and say let the people decide in November 2012 with the ballot.

Again forflan I guess you are saying you would rather have a politician lie before he is elected ,then change everything after he is voted in.Very similar to Pelosi's famous words about O"Bamacare- Vote it in ,then WE will tell you what is in the bill.I don't know about you,but I stand with someone who sticks to their principles over the hypocrisy of her and her party!

Sorry, I just think it's ass-kissing to the extreme right wing portion of his party. In the begining of the Constitution doesn't it say something about personal freedom? Yes, most Americans forget Thomas Jefferson's words. Aren't we sick of other people telling us how to lives our lives by their narrow-minded views yet?

Let have a referendum after the democratic representatives have voted/ This bully is a loud mouthed yellow lard ass. He send his kids to private school and attacks public school which he oversee hipo

I ADMIRE CHRIS CHRISTIE FOR STICKING TO HIS PRINCIPLES! REFRESHING, ISN'T IT?

Well..I really, really wanted him to run for office before this bruhaha but quite frankly, I dont feel that way anymore when he would openly deny a significant minority in the US the right to make their own choices as to whom they will marry. What with 1 in 2 hetero marriages failing and since gay citizens are just as American as straights - they certainly deserve to marry with all the rights and priviledges as straights..just my opinion.

While we lambaste politicians for flip flopping on every issue, jamthecat thinks it is obviously wrong to stick to your principles.I am interested in what YOU think .Both on the issue of gay marriage and whether one should flip flop for votes!

A bully is a bully is a bully, and Christie's proven this maxim consistently and used ridiculous justifications for it. His only principle is, "My way or the highway," which shows he's nothing but a moral midget.

Good for Christie for sticking to his principles.
