Bisbee voted against concealed carry. And MCRGO radical? You got to be kidding me. They aren't radical enough.
I used to be MCRGO's PAC treasurer under their former(and much more pro-2a) leadership. They were very straightforward during my time as PAC treasurer. Endorsements were strictly made on merit during my time there. New "Leadership" took over in June of 2002. They made a lot of backroom deals in 2002, and sold out some good people. Eventually I gave them my resignation as PAC treasurer over the endorsements(and later resigned my membership over internal politics there). There's been a lot of faction splits there in the past two years and at least three spinoffs of that organization. MCRGO is a lot of things, but radical is NOT one of them. They aren't pro-2a enough for my tastes. (BTW - That takes nothing away from Gene DeRossett who IS very solid on this issue)
Oh yeah, until members raised cain, the 2002 PAC originally endorsed Bisbee after his vote AGAINST concealed carry. Real radical huh?
"I can break down and reassemble any 9 mm weapon ever made, so don't give me this malarkey about being soft on the Second Amendment," Schwarz said.
You're right Joe. You're not soft on the 2nd amendment. You're the only candidate for governor in 2002 who said there was no individual right to keep and bear arms. You called those who were pro concealed carry bubbas who strap on a 9mm. Hell, even Jenny Granholm never went that far and she even has a better voting record than you(antique bill).
Schwarz is in Chuck Schumer's league.
-------------------------
If you want to back a pro-2a supporter, Paul DeWeese, Tim Walberg, and Gene DeRossett are all solid and safe choices. Brad Smith has no record on this issue outside of what he says. He may be bad or he may be great. Bisbee voted against conceal carry. He talks a great game, but check his record. Joe Schwarz would be right there with Debbie Stabenow, Carl Lenin, John Conyers, and Chuck Schumer.
I should mention that Nugent endorsed DeRossett as well.
We have "Stop Kerry" stickers. I think it's time for "Stop Bisbee" and "Stop Schwarz".
The same thing happened in New Hampshire: we wound up with a draft dodging pusssssssssy named Jeb Bradley.
