Chris Christie rails against NRA, calls ad 'reprehensible'

[^_^ 5,021]

(CNN) – Republican Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey skewered the National Rifle Association Thursday for referencing the president's children in a political attack commercial.

Speaking in a press conference, the outspoken governor decried the move as "reprehensible" and argued the group lost some credibility by making the ad.

"And I think for any of us who are public figures, you see that kind of ad and you cringe. You cringe because it's just not appropriate in my view to do that," he said. "They've got real issues to debate on this topic. Get to the real issues. Don't be dragging peoples' children into this. It's wrong."

...

"My children had no choice realistically in what I've decided to do with my career and what effect that's had on their lives," he said. "The president doesn't have a choice and his children don't have a choice of whether they're going to be protected or not. The reality is our lives in American society don't lead to that, and I think it's awful to bring public figures' children into the political debate. They don't deserve to be there."

This guy makes sense and is capable of rational thought.

The Republican party will want nothing to do with him.

If he wants to run in 2016, he's gotta pull a Charlie and fast. The Republicans won't support him. His bromance with Obama just can't seem to come to an end.

He's trying the failed Huntsman strategy.

And any time a Lefty agrees with me, he too is real smart.

If he also objected to Obama sifting though kids letters to find a few props for his staged show signing... then I will say Christie is consistent.

I agree, the NRA ad was about as bad as the props on stage.
