"In 2002, Mitt Romney stated in a debate that he supported the tough gun laws in Massachusetts and that he believed they help protect us and keep us safe. He vowed not to chip away at those laws. After being elected Governor, Romney fulfilled this commitment by signing a state-wide continuation of the assault weapons ban. He noted that such weapons were made for killing only and have no place in Massachusetts."
http://www.thepoliticalguide.com/Profiles/Governor/Massachusetts/Mitt_Romney/views/The_Second_Amendment/ if folks that like ron paul are moonbats... what do we call folks who like THIS ASS? asshats? Q: what do you call your friend that works in the gun biz and wants to see mitt in office? A: if mitt gets in and pulls his usual crap, you DON'T call him, you take your business somewhere else.

I honestly believe the reason we see so little here, form the GOP faithful, against Mitt, is because y'all (you know who you are) know how bad he is but also know you're going to end up supporting him, and as such, you're afraid to denounce him now because you know you'll support him later.
Mitt scares me far, far worse than Ron Paul, and many, if not most, of the folks here on this baord will vote for him. You know who you are. If Mitt had bad hair and no appeal to the middle-of-the-road voter, y'all would denounce him worse than Ron Paul. You know it, too.

Quoted: if folks that like ron paul are moonbats... what do we call folks who like THIS ASS? Call us people who want BHO gone... Romney is a politician like any other. I don't think he has an agenda against guns, but I also don't think he's 'for' them either. It's just another issue to him. Clearly, the overwhelmingly (D) legislature and constituancy of MA wanted some gun control. Surprise, a politician takes an easy path to glory and love of the voters. With respect to gun control, Romney will have to be watches closely if he wins. Removal of Obama (and his administration) is the primary objective in the '12 election. Gun control is off the legislative radar. Don't allow a judicial backdoor by allowing Obama a shot at more activist lefty judges. Some of you younger dudes would have lost your collective minds in the Clinton years, and would have jumped off a cliff in '68 (well before my time). |

You've got your panties in a wad over polling, and polling a caucus accurately is nearly impossible.

The truth is that America likes its socialism, and it's not going away anytime soon. However you have the ability to impact the issue of 'how much [socialism] is right'. You get to vote for your choice: 1) Redistributive and social justice based economic and social policy 2) Economic and social policies grounded in the private sector with an eye toward budgetary restraints (I fucking hope) We know where Obama stands, and we like to think our Republican overlords will actually work towards the 2nd line item. One thing's for sure though, there is no reset to 1840 button. You have wildly underestimated the number of Americans that want entitlements as long as someone else pays for them. They are the primary target of the Democratic campaign machine. |

How much luck did Bush have getting his pet lawyer into the Supreme Court? If Romney wins he'll have the same problem. He'll need the good will of the Republican controlled House and, hopefully, the Republican controlled Senate. He won't get it appointing liberal justices. What he'll get is blocked, not only on that nominee, but on his other agenda items as well. The only way Mitt as POTUS will get a liberal SCOTUS nominee in place is if he's given a Democrat controlled House and Senate, and it will be up to us to prevent that from happening. |
