Governor Christie called the use of chemical weapons by Syria intolerable for civilized society but would not give his opinion Tuesday about whether the United States should respond militarily.
Im going to leave that to the people who represent us in Congress to make that decision, Christie said, adding he has great confidence that Sens. Robert Menendez and Jeffrey Chiesa and the rest of the states delegation will do what they think is right for America.

(7,403 posts)Saying nothing, if you know what I mean. Voters often punish gutless politicians even more than being wrong on an issue and this is about as gutless as it gets. Compare and contrast Rand Paul and Chris Christie on their handling of this issue. While Paul doesn't sound like he lives on planet Earth he at least has taken a position whereas Christie completely ducks the issue. This round goes to Paul by default.
