 Rhinos near the watering hole

The Christie endorsement roll out continues, in an effort to create the appearance of momentum, and why not? The other RINO’s are mingling about in single digits, their supporters uninspired, might as well try to get the moderate Establishment to coalesce around someone. Why not Chris Christie?

MORRISTOWN, NJ – This morning on New Hampshire Today with Jack Heath, New Hampshire Senate Majority Leader and former US Congressman Jeb Bradley endorsed Governor Chris Christie for President. Senator Bradley’s endorsement continues the momentum of the recent New Hampshire Union Leader endorsement and support from other notable New Hampshire leaders.

“In these dangerous times for our nation, Governor Chris Christie has the practical, real-world executive experience to lead the United States,” stated Jeb Bradley. “As U.S. attorney, Christie worked with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI to investigate and prosecute terrorism cases. As a Republican governor in a Democratic state, Gov. Christie had the courage to set an example for governors across the country by taking on special interests to tackle his state’s unfunded pension liability.”

Wait, it gets better…

Bradley added, “He is the candidate in the presidential race best able to offer an honest and straightforward entitlement reform proposal that will save Social Security and Medicare for future generations. 

NH Medicade is Bradley CarePart of entitlement reform will involve the feds shuffling off costs on to states. Sure, any Republican reform could include some autonomy in how states manage costs and eligibility, but Jeb Bradley will have neither the stones nor the desire to roll back what he is about to embrace. He plans to lead the Republican State Senate, along with Chuck Morse and company, in to a permanent relationship with the Obama Care expansion of Medicaid.

But I can see why Jeb likes him. Christie Expanded Medicaid in New Jersey and the strain on government was immediate. The strain on taxpayers is forthcoming because there is no free anything. Someone has to pay for it.

Nice entitlement “reform” you got there. So what if it’s expanded socialism.

It New Hampshire it will reform how the state collects and pays taxes, and not in a good way. All for a lousy government program doctors can’t afford to service that incentives business to dump employees on to the backs of taxpayers particularly with the regulatory environment of Obamacare crushing their budgets with costs.

So, who will be next on the RINO train to Christieville? Stay tuned, the week is young and the perception-of-momentum endorsement roll-out is just getting started.
