Paul talks. Christie actually made a change in the right direction when he allowed release without bail for non-violent offenders. I'll take that over empty talk by Paul every day of the year.
Paul also votes in the Senate, and that in and of itself constitutes a pretty hefty contribution to the country, especially considering he HAS been extremely and directly active on issues like the PATRIOT Act in particular.
Plus, Paul is a senator and Christie is a governor-- Christie can act far more unilaterally than Paul can. I WILL give Christie props for the release bit there, but I'll also note he's pretty pro-imprisonment otherwise.
Ah yes the libertarian paradise where stem-cell research is murder, gay marriage is outlawed and we tear down the horrible separation of church and state. But hey, at least the NSA gets fired!
Call it libertarian if you want, but it's far, far to the left of Christ Christie on social issues and Christ Christie is not what I would consider left wing on social issues.
I'll admit I had a lot of difficulty parsing that last bit, but I assume you wanted to draw contrast between the Christian Right views and the Libertarian views.
And while Paul DOES hold personal views that align with the Christian Right (often trumping what would be considered personal libertarian views), this is a far cry from being a Christian Right candidate. Paul sure isn't going to go on a crusade to knock gay marriage out or something like that, nor will he be the type to actually ever ENFORCE much of the Religious Right stuff you're complaining about anyway, preferring very much to hand that to the states, which is just as or more important than his beliefs.
