Who started what ball rolling where? Why should anyone refrain from making predictions to please you?

It's over now, how about a summation and critique of what was actually said.

No less than Bill Clinton credited NRA with the defeat of Algore’s campaign. The groups you mention are all fine but you’ll find that the NRA does the heavy lifting for the RKBA.

Welcome to Free Republic.

After Roooty speaks at the NRA, we’ll see another hit piece, maybe several, by his attack dogs...like Will, Novak and don’t forget Hannerty, the Attack Puppy...

And since when does Thompson care about the 2nd amendment, or even the Constitution? It seems like something he just now started talking about since he’s decided he wants the GOP nomination.

Have you followed any part of his senate career or noted that he was the lone holdout vote in one (in)famous gun control bill, which restricted fire arms near school?

His record, on strict gun control issues (not side or by issues that are not directly linked to guns) is very good.

We the People were the militia then as now.

Now THAT’S a first lady I could stand seeing in the news everyday!

If we’re to judge a Presidential candidate by the caliber spouse they’ve been able to snag ...

Fred Thompson A+,
G.W. Bush A+,
Bill Clinton F-,
Hillary Clinton D (Bill might be a fun guy to watch a ballgame with at Hooters),
Dennis Kucinich A (how this elf landed that broad, I’ll never understand)

I’m not knowledgeable about Mrs. Giuliani, Mrs. Paul, Mrs. Romney, or any of the other Democrats wives to give a grade.

"The NRA is no longer the nations standard bearer for preserving the right to bear arms."

Ain't that the truth. They've been a huge disappointment in recent years.

"Let’s see how well Thompson is received by a pro-2nd amendment group like the Gun Owners of America or..."

I think the GOA is leaning toward supporting Ron Paul, or so I've read. Don't know about the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.

In any case, aside from McCain/Feingold (even he knows he messed up big time when he voted for CFR), I don't see anything in Thompson's record that leads me to believe he's the least bit hostile toward the 2^nd Amendment or the Constitution in general. But if you know of anything to the contrary, by all means post it or point me to it. While I am leaning toward Thompson at the moment, I not 100% committed to anyone.

And Rudi could be both. He’d be prez, and dress up in his drag outfit to be first drag queen lady.

Dennis Kucinich A (how this elf landed that broad, I’ll never understand)

Knock her down to a "B because she obviously lacks personal judgment. Besides, she's British, and while we love 'em to death, they do tend to be a bit odd.

Thank you for not illustrating your point with pictures. :)

And that right there sums up why the GOA does not have the political clout of the NRA and wil lnot play a serious role in the nomination and general election despite the fact that it's views are more conservative and more protective of the 2nd Amendment.
