I'm not a Republican.
And in answer to her question, the US constitution guarantees me a right to own firearms. It does not guarantee me a right to drive a car! |

Im for whichever party that will protect our most important amendment. If that makes me a single issue voter, I'm fine with that. I know I'm voting for the issue that will protect this country from itself, in the long run.

...and before she throws the "cars weren't invented yet" BS line at you, remind her that the Constitution doesn't guarantee you the right to a horse, either.... |

The car vs. guns arguement is absolutely retarded. Here is why:
You do not need a driver's license to drive. You need one to drive on public roads. It is perfectly legal for an unlicensed driver to drive on their own property, or on someone else's property if you have permission. The same is true for guns. You can shoot on your own property or other's if they say you can, and you can shoot on public property if the government says you can (hunting, etc). You CAN'T go to downtown cincinnati and set up a range. |

+1. Somebody asked me last night "How do you vote?" I replied "I vote on one issue: my guns. As long as we have those, everything can be sorted out if need be." |

How about, "No, not really. I just can't find anything Kerry has ever done that was worth a flying fvck at a rolling donut". Then let the fur fly.

I've always had Republicanish ideals. My father is a moderate democrat (firmly believes in 2nd ammendment though) and my mother is a Republican. They weren't necessarily the influence that made me see things the way I do today though. I've figured things out for myself. It just so happens that most Republicans see things the way I do, so, I consider myself a Republican. I'm not a one issue voter, but 2nd ammendment issues are the biggest issues with me.

When people call me a Republican, I always correct them by saying I'm a conservative which isn't necessarily the same thing. Being a conservative obviously excludes me from being a Democrat and there are NO viable third parties so therefore I vote Republican 99% of the time.

I think that all politicians are crooks, regardless of what party they represent.
Whoever will protect the 2nd Ammendment will recieve my vote. Without the 2nd, all the others instantly disappear. |

Clever . . . but would you hit it? I am currently a Libertarian but I will be voting Republican on the presidentail ticket. Guns are one reason. But in general, less government, less taxes, more economic freedom, freedom of speech (particularly political speech, which the Dems attack via "campaign finance reform") and a less intrusive government are what motivate me. The only areas where I tend to disagree with the Republicans are things like drugs and porn, but in these areas the Democrats are not much better and they are not as important issues for me. For example, the porn issue might touch on freedom of speech, but not as importantly as campaign finance reform, which attacks political speech, and goes to the very heart of the freedom of speech mentioned in the 1st Amendment. |

I have learned here in the PR of MA never to discuss politics with people who are not close friends, esp. co-workers and neighbors. There's a reason why God invented spectator sports- something inoffensive and bland to talk about around the water cooler, so that I did not have to listen to morons go on about their politics, and they couldn't use mine against me at layoff or promotion time.

Arms are necessary for freedom.
The Republicans are pro freedsom, and somewhat pro-gun. The Democrats are socialists (Communists in disguise). MANY years ago used to be more moderate, but they were taken over by hippies after 1968. They have steadily gotten farther and farther to the left, while trying to paint Republicans as extremists. Democrats have long known they can't force their policies down the throats of freedom loving people. Those people will resist, especially those that are armed. It's a no-brainer. |

Not hitting that unless it was a with a 2x4. Even that might not knock the homly-ness off her face! You heard the one about falling out of the ugly tree and hitting ever branch on the way day? Well think old growth! CH |

If there was a pro gun alternative canidate to either of the two dickheads running for president now I'd vote for him. There isn't, so the lesser of two evils, Bush, gets my vote.

It is one of the "Corner Stones" of why I am and vote Republican.
I think that is is the main reason the John and John have not pushed gun control is they are afraid or what would happen if they put gun control back on the table. I know, that we all know what we are in for if the get the two johns..... Rant off, Badredfish

1) 2nd Ammendment rights are important to me.
2) I like to keep my own money. Those are the main reasons I vote Republican. |
