New Jersey Grass Roots Advocate States "Don’t Trust the Progressive Governor Chris Christie"   By Bill Miller   I have been an active member of the Tea Party since its inception.  I am the author of The Tea party Papers Volume I; The American Spiritual Evolution Versus the French political Revolution. I have worked with many Tea Party groups in New Jersey, New York, Delaware and Pennsylvania, as well as elsewhere.  I was the recipient of the 2011 New Jersey Betsy Ross Grass Roots Advocate last summer. Chris Christie is not a conservative; he is a Progressive Republican and has been at odds with the general consensus of the New Jersey Tea Party groups and conservative organizations since day one. He is not to be trusted. Shortly after his election, I attended a meeting with several Tea Party leaders and conservative candidates in an effort to induce Christie to support the other States efforts to sue the administration over Obama Care. Christie wanted none of it. Thank God for Steve Lonegan of Americans For Prosperity, which has attempted to keep a fire under this "big government" Republican. I have previously wrote a litany of all the times this man has been at cross purposes with the Tea Party groups over taxes, spending, appointments of judges ,etc. The Lame Stream media has made him into a "Conservative" hero; he is not one of us. He runs his month to get the press, but has really not done much of anything here in New Jersey, but to (Quote Christie himself) "Hold the line." Think of it as the difference between beginning dating someone and being in a long term relationship to someone. Starry eyed at first meeting, after being in a relationship for a while, you realize "I don’t want to marry this one." That is how Christie is; all of you starry eyed lovers need a dose of reality. We will be lucky if we can get a conservative here by the time this "big mouth’s" term is done:  The people tired of it will revert to another Dem. This is the dilemma we all get when we elect a so called "moderate." Now this pseudo socialist calls Newt Gingrich "An embarrassment to the Party";  Christie is the real embarrassment. I will actively campaign against him for a real conservative like Steve Lonegan. Let me be clear, I only prefer Romney to Obama himself. This is the worst case scenario. I would actively support Gingrich, Santorum or Paul before the "Establishment Candidate" Romney. That is how I will vote. George Bush created Obama, he was no conservative, he over spent and expanded the federal government. Every time we get one of these pseudo Progressive Socialists in Republican clothing, we pay a price. What the Progressive Republican Machine has forgotten is that the Tea Party was as much a reaction to Bush as Obama. If Chris Christie doesn’t want Newt Gingrich, that means Newt Gingrich should be our nominee for President.
