Obama had kids on stage who responded to a national tragedy. They showed some initiative and maturity. Was the NRA's message positive about kids?
Yes, and I'm sure those mature 6 and 7 year olds came up with all of those thoughts on their own, with no input from their parents or tv whatsoever.
Want to know whats positive about the NRA's message? It promotes an idea that could help keep kids alive. Unless you are a deluded psychopath, thats viewed as a positive thing.

Mashed!!!!
You're not suggesting Obama was exploiting those children for political gain!!???
Next thing you know, you'll be suggesting Obama is exploiting the death of children to push a political agenda. That sure would make him a cold, cynical b@st@rd wouldn't it?
Christie is an idiot. Obama started this by trying to trash our constitution. Hell with him. He took the gloves off its game on.
I have to agree. Tbis is gonna be an ugly kind of fight. No Maquis of Queensburry rules here. And I am sick to death of the "do it for the children" bit. I am armed for the sake of my children. Nuf said....
I have to say it is enjoyable to see an (R) trashing those on the far right of the party, and Christie delivers once again
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed the National Rifle Association’s latest ad in which they accuse President Barack Obama of hypocrisy for sending his children to a school where they are protected by armed guards. Christie called the ad “reprehensible” and said that the NRA should not be “dragging people’s children” into the gun control debate.
Unlike people without principles, those of us with principles will agree with people when we feel they are right, and disagree with them when we think they are wrong.
Here's the problem with that argument. You folks with Principles™, which is a dubious claim at best, don't simply disagree with others that you think are "wrong," you treat them as apostates, to be shunned and exiled from the tribe. That isn't disagreement, that is just doctrinalism at it is very worst. It is a requirement of political purity rarely found outside of Stalinist parties or theocratic regimes and has little place in a democratic society where compromise and intelectual discourse are essential. Most of the body politic understands that, when the "party of principle" figures it out, only god knows.

Colin Powell and Chuck Hagel say they have room for Chris Christie.........maybe?
Nope another moron did. Christie is just another Mitt Romney and if the GOP is stupid enough to nominate him in 2016 then I will just sit back vote for the Libertarian candidate and enjoy the GOP's defeat AGAIN. The people do not want watered down,mediocre morons who lose their temper all the time...
And yet apparently since YOUR guy couldn't even get the GOP nomination - let alone the Presidency - "the people" certainly don't appear to want what YOU are selling.
He is on the right track. The GOP needs to take a huge dump and rid itself of them
Christie is the one ho needs to take a huge dump.
