Plenty of worst things can happen. In fact, they’ve already begun. The GOP under a Romney term will do all it can to destroy or marginalize the grass roots Tea Party. Look at what Mittens was willing to do to Sarah Palin even on the eve of the 2008 election. He does NOT respect or even slightly tolerates us. He thinks WE are unreasonable and “frightened” and ‘angry.’ He is an elitist and views us the way elitists do. He only needed us because we control (or we THINK we control) the nomination process for the party... which is a problem he is working on fixing.
Want to hear something creepy? I heard an interview of some old lady, a Paul delegate from Texas on her way to the convention, who was stopped by the TSA because they found bullets in her luggage. Apparently, she was at a hotel, and someone broke into her hotel room, but didn’t take anything. She noticed nothing was missing. She claims that, evidently, whoever broke in must have planted the bullets to delay her getting to the convention.
The Virginia delegates, who were on their way to the convention on a bus to vote against the proposed rule changes, say that the driver of the bus took them on a wild goose chase to purposely make them get there too late to do anything. In the end, they ended up having to walk to the convention.
Speaker Boner, as he was “counting” the yeas and nays for the vote, already had the “the yeas have it” written on his teleprompter before a vote was even given!
Welcome to Mitt Romney’s Republican party.
You want to campaign for O fine, but do it on the facts, not on a bunch of lies and disinformation
The Federal Assault Weapons Ban (AWB) (or Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act) was a subtitle of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, a federal law in the United States that included a prohibition on the manufacture for civilian use of certain semi-automatic firearms, so called "assault weapons". There was no legal definition of "assault weapons" in the U.S. prior to the law's enactment. The 10-year ban was passed by Congress on September 13, 1994, and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton the same day. The ban only applied to weapons manufactured after the date of the ban's enactment.
The Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired on September 13, 2004, as part of the law's sunset provision. There have been multiple attempts to renew the ban,[1] but no bill has reached the floor for a vote.
What are you talking about? Where did I say I was voting Democrat? I have NEVER voted Democrat. But that does not mean that I cannot demand better behavior from the GOP candidates does it?
Let me quote from the conclusion of the article ...
“I do believe that a ‘President Romney’ would likely be far better for gun rights than a second-term President Obama ... The potential federal judgeship appointments alone should be enough to get gun owners to offer their support to Governor Romney”
Very well, cling to your emotional ignorance but don’t expect any of us to take you seriously.
Unlike the United States Australia doesn't let in just anybody. That's why we're over run with illegal aliens with an IQ of 85 and they are not.
You better have a skill that is in very high demand like neurosurgeon or you don't have a chance. If you want to cut and run you better start doing your research now.
Do you even read the replies? No one here is campaigning for Obama. No one is attacking the GOP. I was pointing out the history of questionable gun rights behavior from the nominee.
I will ask again. Is that no longer allowed?
Bush said he would sign it if it reached his desk so Congress stopped it not Bush.
Check out the gun laws in Australia before you consider an intercontinental move. Just as bad as UK there.
Much better move to South Carolina, the state liberals love to hate more than any other. Do you know what we call someone who owns less than one hundred guns?
“Piker”
;^)
What am I being “emotionally ignorant” about?
What we need to do, regardless of who wins, and make sure that we have good people as precinct delegates/captains (whatever it is in your state) and make sure good people are running your county party, district party, and state party, as well as your RNC committeeman and woman. Most importantly, we need to make sure good people win our primary elections and general elections from president down to township trustee.
The bottom line is that we can't just plan for this stuff when there's an election. We need to plan for the party elections after the election back at the time for the filing deadline for precinct delegates. County party committees here are picked in December. District parties and state parties after that.
Know the rules. Know the techniques. Plan ahead. Be organized. Work with allies. Convert swing voters, and make sure the party is in good shape.
Noob, you are becoming tiresome.
Either vote for Obama and get your a$$ back to DU or help DEFEAT him.
The primary is over, the convention isw over. The ONLY other person who can possibly be sworn in as president next year is Romney.
You have even admitted that you joined this site so recently because you decided that it was “anti Romney” enough for you. Well, guess what hero, you should go back to lurking.
“You want to campaign for O fine, but do it on the facts, not on a bunch of lies and disinformation. . ..”
Campaign for O? Where did that come from?
Have we survived since Sept 2004 w/o a Federal AWB in force? I hadn’t known that, and now I’m frightened.. /sarc/

Up yours Datura, you’re not the boss of me. The MittBots who want us to LIE to defend their MESSIAH sure have some arrogance.
Our country, as we know it, is finished if Obama is reelected.
Grow up and get serious. The time for this stuff was in the primary.
NOW?
OBAMA MUST GO!
“I do believe that a ‘President Romney’ would likely be far better for gun rights than a second-term President Obama for the reasons laid out in my previous article about President Obama.”
Then why is the author in this article trying to turn conservatives, gun owners against Romney?!!!!!
Right now the choice is Romney or Obama.
Bashing Romney only helps Obama.
“It will only convince the political insiders that “conservatives” and “prolifers” and “pro-2nd Amendment” people can not win.”
How’s that going to work when Mittens isn’t even that? Maybe if Palin got the nomination and lost they could make that argument. Fact is they ALREADY believe it, and that’s why they said Mittens was the most electable.
Just noticed that YOU actually wrote this article.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Looking at your figures I don’t see the US listed. What was the percentage from my country?
It certainly is a cut and run, just not the first time you have done it.
