“Romney will do what is best for Romney.
What is best for Romney is to support gun rights.
This was not true in MA.
It is true, now.”
There isn’t really any evidence that Mitt Romney supports gun rights. He also claimed to be pro-life, and one could say being pro-life to maintain his support and office “is true, now.” But then, either last Monday or Tuesday, he came out and essentially gave the pro-abortion talking point that the Democrats give. “I’m pro-life,” they all say, “But I won’t ban abortion for the health and life of the mother, or for rape.” Hillary has used the same language claiming she had never met anyone who was “pro-abortion,” and Obama echos with his excuse for voting against the partial birth abortion ban “there was no exemption for the health of the mother.” The health of the mother, as defined by the courts, includes mental and emotional problems. That’s the loophole that essentially negates any pro-life law that it infects.
Now, this is a pretty clear 180 for people who understand the pro-life pro-abortion battle. So if Romney is willing to turncoat on this, what makes you think Mittens isn’t going to say “I’m in favor of the second amendment. I think we all have the right to hunt!” (Which isn’t the point of the 2A.) but then turn around and justify more hurdles and restrictions on the 2A in the name of something moderate sounding and mushy?
There is no evidence that Mittens really has ZERO principles. There IS evidence that his principles are leftwing principles, and that what he has ZERO of is really a hesitance to lie for political purposes, and he has 100% of an obsession with how people view him. IOW, he behaves like a lefty narcissist.
Indeed. And don’t think those state and local elections are less important. Far more decisions that affect our daily lives are made there than by the federal government.
Only one question needs to be asked....is he better than Obama?
And the answer to that is a resounding “Yes!”
Honest agreement based on what he has actually done I put the figure at closer to 15%.
I originally was going to say 5% but I am giving him the benefit of the doubt.
“If a bear attacks me in woods, I would rather have an assault rifle than a handgun.”
When a bear attacks me in the woods, I get in close and work on his body with my fists. I then headbutt the bear, grapple him onto the forest floor, and get him into an arm lock (paw lock) until he either taps out or passes out.
Hahaha RaisingCain...pass the Hukkah please!
If you go into the woods, you need an assault rifle not because of bears but because of the two legged predators running their marijuana patches and meth labs.
Romney over Obama any freaking day on that issue.
Romney MIGHT have signed it, Obama certain WOULD sign it.
Problem for you Democrats pretending to be “conservative: is a GOP Congress would never pass it a Democrat Congress DID pass it.
But of course it so much easier to spend all your time shooting your allies in the back then ever take on the Progressive Fascists in the Democrat party on anything
Your sort of “conservative” is the useful idiot of the Democrat Party propaganda machine.
And the ABO folks around here gave us mittens. At least 4 more years of uber-big government doing “what is best for us” whether we want it or not.
Socialized medicine is fine if mitens rams it down our throat.
Gun control and HUGE increase in gun ownership costs are fine if mittens does it and not BO
Abortion is find if mittens is the one approving it
Yup, lots of differences
JP, I’m voting Romney ‘cause I want to see that skinny black butt leaving D.C. on a cold assed Winter Day. His big ears flapping and his lips talking crap all the way to Chicago.
I don’t expect Romney to even be close to as Conservative as Bush was.
His team wants to balance the budget in 20FORTY! What a damn joke.

I don’t disagree with you about the fact that Obama WOULD have signed it.
As for the rest, I am not sure why you think I am some sort of closet democrat OR why you would think I am pretending to be ‘conservative’. I am neither. I am a proud Libertarian who thinks small government means small government. I will point out again that I concluded Romney was the best choice and I gave reasons why. And I cited to specific sources for every action I noted that Romney took.
I think we are on the same team here.
Looks like we all get to shoot ourselves in the foot this year. But at least we get a choice of which foot......
LOL
Romney signed a "compromise" gun ban. It was bad. I didn't vote for Romney in the primary. I do know this. Romney won't have Eric Holder as his AG. He won't appoint Sotomayer and Kagan. I have a chance with Romney that he'll screw us less. He can't be worse.
At best, no bad things will happen and no bad judges will be picked.

Damn Right.
” . ..after the NRA endorsed Harry Reid, they lost all credibility . . .”
My impression is that Harry Reid, for all his obvious flaws, supports, or has supported, the NRA position on Second Amendment related legislation. This would be enough for the NRA, which maintains pretty much a single-issue legislative stance, to support Reid’s election despite his being otherwise a disaster..
You just cling to your emotion based partisanship then. Fact is the Democrat HAVE done a whole lot to try and regulate gun ownership and have been defied on it by the GOP.
If you are gun owner stupid enough to vote for Democrats thinking they respect the 2nd Amendment, you get what you deserve.
Darren ... Bingo!
