You read that right. George Soros hearts Chris Christie.
Five executives at Soros Fund Management have chipped in a combined $19,000 to the governor's re-election campaign, state records show. The donor roll includes Soros' protégé and chief investment officer, Scott Bessent, who tends to fund liberal Democrats.
In fact, liberal Democrats across the country are actively lining up behind Christie.
Gov. Chris Christie is cashing in donations from top Democratic fundraisers and other traditionally liberal donors across the country, even nabbing the support of a handful of rainmakers aligned with President Obama and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a Star-Ledger review of state and federal records shows.
The checks are flying into the Republican governor's war chest from all sorts of unlikely places — the hedge fund run by liberal billionaire George Soros, for example, and the politically progressive halls of the University of California, Berkeley.
The nascent support from Democratic donors is an early sign of Christie's fundraising prowess in a potential run for the White House in 2016, experts and Democratic donors said, and dovetails with recent polls showing him gaining popularity nationally among Democrats and independents.
Christie's partnership with New Jersey Democratic leaders and his warm relationship with Obama after Hurricane Sandy could be enticing donors who don't often give to GOP candidates, even if they are closer ideologically to Democrat Barbara Buono, Christie's lesser-known challenger, political scientists and Democratic fundraisers say.
Or maybe, and I'm just making an observation here based on living day in and day out with him as my governor, maybe it's because Chris Christie is closer ideologically to them. Much closer than anyone in the national GOP is willing to admit.
Because on a whole host of issues, from gun control to fracking, or illegal immigration to creeping Sharia, Chris Christie's positions are indistinguishable from anything you'll read at the leftest of lefty blogs. And if you think, well at least he'll appoint conservative judges, think again. His three highest profile appointments to the bench were a terrorist-sympathizing Muslim lawyer, a gay "marriage" advocate, and a guy whose immigration sob story makes Sonya Sotomayor seem like a Daughter of the American Revolution in comparison.
Fortunately the latter two were swallowed up in the byzantine politics of NJ State Senate power plays. But Judge Sohail Mohammed sits on the NJ Superior Court bench, dispensing Sharia on a daily basis.
So ask yourself, why are so many liberals eager to line up behind
Chris Christie, rather than say, Hillary Clinton? I guarantee it's not because
of his good looks and boyish charm.
