Governor Chris Christie NJ and Governor Paul LePage ME - who's the liberal?

Republican Governor Chris Christie supported the Obamacare Medicaid expansion in his home state of New Jersey. Good for him and the deserving people who need health coveage in New Jersey.

Now, Governor Paul LePage of Maine is a groupie in the Christie campaign, as the New Jersey governor wants to be the Republican nominee, to be US leader of the free world.  

But, there's no Medicaid expansion in Maine, one of the poorest states in the USA. Go figure?

Christie and LePage appear to be politically synergistic but this alliance makes no sense.  

Seems like Governor Christie and Governor LePage are political bookends - but where's the Medicaid Expansion in Maine?

Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey continues to defend his outspoken Maine friend, Goveror Paul LePage, who's often in political hot water. In fact, instead of working to win primary votes in New Hampshire, the New Jersey Governor Christie was spending time last week defending mis-statements by Governor LePage, who apologized for perceived racist statements made during a program to stop Maine heroin addiction.

These bookend politicaal charicatures act like the "ying" and "yang" of Republican policies, but they're philosphically different. Do political opposites really attract?  

New best friends - (NBFs)- Governor Chris Christie and Governor Paul LePage differ about the Medicaid expansion offered to states as a provision of the landmark health care reform aka "Obamacare". But you wouldn't know there was a bit of difference betweenn the two governors about anything. They appear to be joined at the political hip or holding up a set of binded books on a conservative library shelf.

Frankly, the Christie - LePage alliance makes no sense. Far be it from me to point out the information in a politcally conservative negative ad. Yet, in fact, an "anti-Christie" ad, sponsored by the Conservative Solutions political action committee, in support of Senator Marco "blinky bottle" Rubio, the junior Senator from Florida, points out the liberal side of Governor Christie. It's not an anti Governor LePage ad, but certainly points out the contrast to the policies of his NBF, ie "LePage", especially about Medicaid expansion. 

Although Rubio has no political position about Maine's controversial Governor Paul LePage, the negative political ad paints Governor Christie as a "conservative in liberal clothing". Does that liberal hue taint Governor LePage with the same brush?
Haha!  

Obviously, Governor Christie hasn't learned to pay attention to who are his NBFs. On the other hand, Governor Paul LePage should be asked by Maine news media how it is he can support the New Jersey governor like a political groupie, but deny Maine people access to health care coverage, via the Medicaid expansion, while his bookend friend has already done so.

Governor Chris Christie is Responsible for George Washington Bridge Lane Closing

Driving across the world's busiest bridge, the George Washington Bridge, connecting New York City with New Jersey, isn't for the faint hearted. Even the most seasoned drivers shudder at the thought of being caught on the GWBridge in a traffic jam.  

When the traffic jam turns out to be a deliberate act of political retribution by the New Jersey's governor's office, the shudders become cold chills, putting drivers at risk for voter shock. Somebody must politically pay for this story of power run amok and it's going to be New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

Christie says he knew nothing about this fiasco. He mocked reporters who asked questions about the incident. Now, it turns out, Christie's staff was involved and directed the bridge lane closure.

New Jersey Chris Christie has a reputation of being a political bully.
This George Washington Bridge retribution story, where his office is clearly involved, is an ugly example of using his power for nefarious purposes.

‘It’s the worst example of a petty political vendetta’: Fort Lee, NJ, Mayor Sokolich on retaliatory George Washington Bridge closings
Emails exchanged between a Governor Chris Christie staffer and appointee shows bridge lanes were shut as punishment for Sokolich not supporting the governor's reelection. ‘How low can you go … congratulations, you’ve just made New Jersey the brunt of every political joke for the next 25 years,’ the Fort Lee mayor added.

Bombshell Documents Show One Of Chris Christie's Top Aides Ordered George Washington Bridge Lane Closures

Bombshell documents show that decisions that caused days of traffic jams near the George Washington Bridge — possibly in retaliation against a Democratic mayor who wouldn't endorse Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) for reelection — reached closer to Christie than he has previously acknowledged.

Bridget Anne Kelly, Christie's deputy chief of staff, sent an August 13 email to former Port Authority Director of Interstate Capital Projects David Wildstein, a Christie ally: "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."

Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich (D) had declined to endorse Christie for re-election, unlike many other Democratic municipal officials in the state.

The Wall Street Journal obtained that email and 21 other pages of emails and text messages, a series that shows coordination between the Christie administration and the Port Authority over the lane closures — and suggests the closures were politically motivated, not part of a "traffic study."

Clearly Governor Christie has a ton of explaining to do. What did Christie know and when did he know it? Given the fact that Governor Christie's staff initiated this terrible incident, it appears to me, he should resign as Governor of New Jersey.

Governor Christie's staff brought on this traffic retaliation so, therefore, the "boss" had to know what was going on. Governor Christie is responsible for this fiasco.
