We are not going to have a thread if I can help it with 15 different issues that are subverting from the original post.
Its not dodging... it is very very direct.
What’s a gun owner to do ? Anti-gun Flip Romney , why won’t he come around on this issue ? ....

“I started the thread so please do not hijack it. There is time for the other things to be discussed.”
The thread is about Flipp Mitt.
Don’t try to artificially limit the topic.
We are tackling this one at a time.
Not avoiding your question, but rather trying to stay on topic, as we will when it comes to 2nd Ammendment when that one comes up.
SENATE, No. 1384 By Mr. Shannon, a petition (accompanied by bill, Senate, No. 1384) of Charles E. Shannon, Timothy J. Toomey, Jr., David P. Linsky and Paul J. Donato for legislation relative to the possession of a machete. Public Safety and Homeland Security The Commonwealth of Massachusetts -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Year Two Thousand and Five. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AN ACT RELATIVE TO THE POSSESSION OF A MACHETE Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows: SECTION 1. Subsection (b) of section 10 of chapter 269 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2002 Official Edition is hereby amended by inserting after the word “inches”, in line 67, the following word:- , machete. SECTION 2. Said subsection (b) of said section 10 of said chapter 269, as so appearing, is hereby further amended by adding the following paragraph:- For purposes of this section, “machete” means “a heavy knife at least 18 inches in length and having a blade at least 1.5 inches wide at its broadest measurement. This subsection shall not apply to carrying a machete on one’s person or in a vehicle if the machete is carried for the purpose of cutting vegetation or if the machete is being transported for the purpose of cutting vegetation. In a prosecution of a violation of this subsection, there shall be a permissible inference that such carrying of a machete is not for the purposes of cutting vegetation. Such presumption may be rebutted. Any individual who requires a machete for the purposes of cutting vegetation shall register the machete with the local police department on an annual basis and, upon payment of an appropriate annual registration fee as determined by the local granting authority, shall be issued a permit authorizing him to possess the machete solely for the purposes of cutting vegetation.
I like Mitt and will vote for either him or Thompson if he’s still in it by California time. But I really don’t think that demanding under pain of penalty that all citizens have health insurance is right though. I aggree with alot of his proposals and think that alot more alternative natural therapies should be covered by health insurance which would drop the cost alot. I read his health care platform from his site and wasn’t clear about wherther he wants mandated health care or not?
“Put it out there on the table. Tell us.”
There must be a better way to oppose gay marriage than to sign it into law...
Mitt ping!
WE WILL DISCUSS MITT AND GUNS IN DEPTH AT LENGTH.
IT WILL BE GIVEN FULL COURT PRESS.
PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC.
BTW... Are you gay?
Post about other topics are not welcome on this thread, however they will have their due day.
I do not want a thread that runs from topic to topic and ends up only talking in generalities and sound bytes.
There is nothing artificial about it.
Tell us more details. Explain. Get your version of the truth out there.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.... (hehehehehehe)
No but maybe your mom is.
In retrospect, Romney bashers should have spent more time supporting their candidate and not attacking Mitt. It has backfired on them big time.
The more I read details of what actually went on in Mass, the more I like this guy. He has courage to go along with his values. He is not afraid to go after an issue head on, while other candidates talk a little talk but avoid the issue for the most part.
You don’t like it , tough .....
It’s about Mitt and his flip flop record .
Cheers !
