Trenton, NJ – Gov. Chris Christie on Monday vetoed a bill barring gender-based pay discrimination, saying it would go beyond federal standards and make New Jersey “very business unfriendly.” While emphasizing his support for equal pay protections, the Republican governor criticized where the legislation “departs significantly from well-established law.” In his message for a conditional veto, Christie said there is “no reason for our law to go beyond the Lilly Ledbetter Act,” the federal equal pay legislation.
“I honestly see no reason to do that in the state of New Jersey, whose economy has been struggling with recession for the past several years,” Christie said. “You don’t need a PhD in economics to figure out that more businesses mean a faster recovery rate. But, at the same time, businesses require the law to be well-established and not subject to frequent modifications, which is exactly what was attempted here. Because, let’s face it – everybody loves stability and businesses are no exception.”
He also added, “However, if we are to make a full recovery, we can’t rely solely on our own hard work. We’ll also need a bit of luck, and you can call it what you want, but in my book, luck equals God’s will. And the Bible is God’s word. So, when someone comes up to me and tells me, ‘Mr. Governor, I think we should allow women to have equal pay as men,’ I’m like, ‘What are you on? I’d like some of that, too,’ because that’s just ludicrous. Biblically speaking, women aren’t and will never be equal to men. And that includes their salaries.”
“Our religious freedom instructs us to treat the two genders differently by definition,” Christie argued. “So, how can we allow equal pay? Are you implying we disobey the word of God? And if you need further explanation, just take a look at homosexuals. True believers, which I also consider myself to be, feel that, according to their religious freedom, they have a moral obligation to deny equal rights to gay people. And it’s the same with women. So, once again – I’m not coming up with this out of the blue, God said it first and we’d be wise to abide by his words. Or else, we’re looking at a real sh*t storm.”

Tell you what, Gov. Christie.
You take a poll among the Christian pastors in New Jersey of both genders — posing them the question — and let us know the response.
In the meantime, we’ll just sit back and wait for the last straw to cave upon your next re-election campaign…

It is getting harder and harderto what is real and what is satire with REpubnantCONs these days! The site really does not indicate that it is a satire site, and it IS believable that a RepugnantCON hoping for a high position in the Carnval Barker Administration would do and say these things!!

I once thought you were a politician who could work across part lines, and would respect the equality of all. You are lost, and need to go work for your church, not your state or country. What a major disappointment you have become Mr. Christie.

Every last politician that supports the Theist movement in government should be unseated and barred from ever holding any political office. I mean any,, not even let them drive a parking enforcement buggy.

I definitely never heard or saw anything in the Bible that indicated women should be paid less than men. Never heard anyone mention it either.

Wait…let me stop laughing….whew! Ok, well, that is the most ridiculous piece of philosophical bullshit i’ve ever read in my life! God did not write the bible…it was written by scholars…which leads to interpretation. So, that’s his interpretation and it’s pure bullshit! Don’t put God in it.

What does “religious freedom” mean? To eat ten times more than normal people and subjugate women? What a bleak soul! And remember, he’s a Trump enthusiast.

America has lost its goddamn mind. I doubt Governor Lardball could even spell ‘Jesus’, and yet he’s totally pandering to radicalized Christians, who are no different than ISIS.

If this is true, I hope Trump selects him as his running mate.
