Tulsi Gabbard too but so many on FR have a crush on her. She is bad news.
He’s been ultra-left forever. As discussed here seemingly regularly for the entire tenure of this forum...suddenly in the last few months a handful seem to revere him.
Snake in sheep’s clothing? Why would he want to disarm America when he said the CIA took out his father?
It was never a secret.
not news to anyone. btw, he’s for abortion, too. giant shock.
so what. if the choice is between ‘anti-gunner’ Brandon, and anti-gunner, RFK, i’ll take RFK any day of the week. it’s a no brainer.
What’s his position on J6?
Yep. I have been saying for months that despite him saying a few things that ‘we’ like, he is still a leftist elitist at heart.
I’m amazed how many ‘conservatives’ get all excited when someone on the other side occasionally says something sane.
Kennedy would be a significant improvement over Biden, if we get stuck with one or the other. The main difference is Kennedy is more honest about his support of liberal insanity, and has at least SOME questions about gain of function, and the new definition of “vaccines.”
His appeal to the right is he may be a thorn in Joe’s side and he’s anti vax.
Just because he says a few things right and doesn’t appear to be a corrupt crook like Joe Biden it doesn’t mean he isn’t still a leftist kook. I actually halfway respect him for bucking the standard democrat/marxist line on some issues and there is the appeal of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” when it comes to Biden. However, I don’t think for a second that he is really a libertarian at heart, he’a still a hard core leftist.
RFK, Jr., is his father’s son, 100%.
A big-government leftist who hasn’t connected the dots with respect to the reality of the big government being corrupt to the bone. Maybe he’ll get it. But he’s not there yet.
RFK, Jr.: Climate Skeptics 'Should Be at the Hague with All the Other War Criminals' FR thread
You left out the statement before that. Also the moderator was obviously bating him with the question about banning assault weapons. I think at that point he has lost patience and his answer that he would sign a bill IF there was consensus in both parties and IF it got to him was made to shut her down. Prior to that he was very clear that he was not going to take away guns. That USSC decisions on guns made it a very unlikely. He has spoken of his support for the 2nd Amendment many times.
He also brought up school shootings and his belief that SSRIs should be researched to see what if any role they played in the behavior of the shooters. He talked about how common shooting clubs used to be in schools without mass shootings being connected to students having easy access to guns.
I found it interesting that in numerous interviews he acknowledges that a large number of people believe the only thing that kept the government from totally taking away more rights during the pandemic was gun ownership. He defines himself as a constitutional absolutist and includes the 2nd amendment in that.
His stance on abortion will keep me from voting for him.
He’s a Democrat. That says it all. If he was so conservative why would he BE a Democrat.
He was also disappointed with the supremes on student loans
Why is this suddenly a surprise? He’s card carrying Democrat.
No one from that family should be anywhere near the Presidency.
From the article: “Last week, I wrote an article titled “What’s the Big Deal about RFK Jr?” The main thrust of the piece was that I did not understand why I was seeing so many libertarians and even conservatives fawning all over Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running to win the Democratic presidential nomination.”
You wouldn’t see this ‘fawning’ if RFK jr. wasn’t an anti-vaxxer.
They tiptoe around ghetto shootings and that is the hypocrisy because AR-15s are a red herring. These “mass shootings” are dwarfed by the ghetto gun deaths that are done with hand guns. Ten days ago 21 were shot at a Juneteeth party, and there was barely coverage of it. Also, the Soros DAs drop gun charges on almost every case...why, if guns are so terrible. Then they laughed off Hunter’s illegal lying to buy a gun.
When you take out the top 10 urban ghetto gun grounds, the US is one of the safest nations on earth.
It is not a gun problem at all, when the murder rate is extreme in a few neighborhoods in the nation and safe everywhere else.
Never been a good democrat president from day one they aren’t about to start now it’s a Fabian party.
