Obama hopes to enact new gun-control measures in 2013
The Hill ^ | 12/30/2012 | Meghashyam Mali

Posted on 12/30/2012 7:50:26 AM PST by Obadiah

President Obama on Sunday said he would make gun control a priority in his new term, pledging to put his “full weight” behind passing new restrictions on firearms in 2013.

“I'm going to be putting forward a package and I'm going to be putting my full weight behind it,” said Obama in an interview aired on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I'm going to be making an argument to the American people about why this is important and why we have to do everything we can to make sure that something like what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary does not happen again.”

Well I guess Obama earned your vote.

I’d lay down my principles to prevent great harm, in a New York minute.

I’d rather have a guilty conscience for being weak, if it meant that America would remain free.

"....conservatives, who either chose to not vote or voted for an alternate candidate, will not make the same mistake twice."

Don't bet on it. If a candidate doesn't pass all seventeen of their litmus tests, he'll be labeled a RINO and they will sit home again. The Kamikaze Conservatives gave us Obama for a second and maybe perpetual term.

Only seven? You RINO!

Real Conservatives have at least ten litmus tests.

Agreed.

Imagine any product manufacturer demanding consumers purchase an inferior product just so the manufacturer can have the largest market share.

That is the textbook definition of cowardice. Because you did lay down your principles, and yet, you didn't prevent great harm.

Keep your principles, and trust in God.

A coward dies a thousand deaths, and honest man, but one.

I won't ever vote for a liberal. Don't care if you like that or not. If you want to win, get your establishment under control and put forward a conservative. Otherwise, you are just whining because your liberal didn't win.

Yes, you’re brave.

You also have a dictator-minded president, who managed to use your conservative purity standard to get himself elected and who may yet find a way to cancel the 2016 elections and be dictator for life.

Congratulations on that, you deserve a medal.

She even admitted she’d been working on it for a year.

My vote didn't count, remember?

Your liberal didn't win because he was liberal. How hard is that? Conservatives don't vote for pro-abortion, anti-gun, Romneycare liberals.

Cow... cabbage.

Blaming me is avoiding your responsibility for allowing liberals to take over the GOP.

Own it.

“Bullcrap. Romney would be trying to institute an ‘assault weapons’ ban just like he did when he was governor.”

“I won't ever vote for an anti-gun liberal. That's what Romney is.”
_______________________________________________

Save your bull sh*t for somebody else. You saw what Obama did to this country over the past 3+ years, the utter destruction he heaped on our nation and way of life, with the promise to do even more if he were reelected, but you still decided that you would help ensure he was reelected.

Romney was pro-business, pro-Israel, Pro-military, pro-religious freedom, pro-life (yes, like other human beings he had a change of heart on this issue), etc., but nope, “True Patriots” like you weren't gonna vote for the guy. You were going to show the bad old GOP a thing or two!

Whatever Romney was, at least we would've had a chance to recover...at least economically. Thanks to selfish, idiots like yourself, you've basically condemned our kids to debt they will never pay off, and misery beyond measure. And all so you could have your pathetic little pity party on election night. Those of you who chose not to vote in the presidential election, or cast a vote for a third party candidate are responsible, at least in part, for what we're currently facing with a second, destructive term of Obama. Sorry, but your bull sh*t that Obama and Romney are exactly the same just won't cut it! But i guess you have to have some type of excuse for your abject stupidity.

I'm sure our young people who wanted some type of future will love to hear your pathetic excuse as to why you just couldn't bring yourself to vote for Romney. You're no Patriot; you're a self serving, self-rightous A-hole. Obama thanks you from the bottom of his black heart. You've helped to make his wildest dreams come true!

Patriot my a$$!

Guess what?

You didn't garner any votes for the next round for your brand of slower liberalism.

Romney is a liberal. He didn't get votes. You pushed for him. You wasted your vote on him. He lost.

Get over it and figure out how to push for a conservative candidate next time around.

______________________________________________

By Obama’s “black heart”, I simply meant a sick, cold, and hard heart. I was obviously not referring to his skin color.

Don't want to be accused of racism by any visiting trolls trying to find racism where there is none. ;-)

I’m not going to say what I hope about Obama and the rest of the Rat Infestation in D.C.

Guess what Johhny, “next time” ain’t gonna matter. This was our last chance. But at least idiots like you got to stomp their feet and have your little fit. Obama thanks you!

I absolutely understood that, and the fact you think you have to clarify it underscores the depths the media has sunk to.

I can't disagree that he has an un-repentant heart, willing to accept killing babies, banning firearms, or trying to destroy American healthcare.

He has a clear record on that, regardless of what he says, or the color of his skin.

This was our last chance.

I've heard the same thing after every election since Nixon.

From both sides.

Grow up already. We're not done with elections yet. When we are, you will know.

You know, one would think you’d be happy right now. Seriously, you didn’t want Romney to win, he didn’t. We have a second term of Obama, and you showed the rest of us a thing or two. So what gives, why are you pi$$ed, even after your desired goal has been achieved?
