CPAC is known for providing strong conservative speakers. Governor Chris Christie's recent love fest with President Obama probably didn't help. Also, Christie criticized legislators for not immediately passing the Hurricane Sandy relief bill even though it was filled with more pork than relief. A lot can happen between now and 2016, who knows who the…

I believe Christie badly mishandled the political aspect of the Sandy aftermath. I always thought Christie was a 'walk the walk' man, and not just talk. But after watching Christie gush over Obama for just showing up and making empty promises on what he was going to do, not anything that had actually been done, I was sorely disappointed. As the…

Some conservatives, Republican and otherwise, are still in a snit over Governor Christie's gushing over President Obama during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

He should not be invited to a Conservative event. Actually, I am planning on going to CPAC, and I'm pretty upset about many of the speakers they have invited, who are a far cry from being representatives of the Conservative principles. So what if Christie was not invited to CPAC ? He sat next to Michelle Obama…

If he was not invited, perhaps it is because of how he showcased President Obama in the aftermath of Sandy, which may very well have cost Mitt Romney the election. I believe that the 2016 election is going to require a sharp contrast in ideology with President Obama’s two terms of outrageous spending, his energy…
