Well! There we have it! It MUST be true now that I've "seen it on the Internet"!!!

Sorry, but his act involving his newly purchased NRA membership and his story about a youth spent hunting and the gun that he "once owned" stitched it up for me. Yeah buddy...He SUPPORTS the Second Amendment because he's a HUNTER!!! ...and we all know that the Constitution affords the right to Keep and Arm Bears!

He's a panderer, and therefore a liar, and we will not vote for him, or anybody who pretends to be something they're not. We are disgusted and fed up and really have nothing to lose at this point. Have you ever fought with somebody who had nothing to lose? NOBODY wants to fight a man with nothing to lose.

You can think us narrow minded, and looking for somebody who simply doesn't exist. But there are enough of us to seriously offset the conservative voting base, and we will NOT vote for RINOs, and that includes Romney.

I think Jim Rob's own advice was well issued a couple of weeks ago when he mentioned "putting our heads between our knees and kissing our asses goodbye", because I can't say at this point who will win, but I think it's safe to say who is going to lose.

You see, here's the problem. Right now, some support Romney. Some support McCain. Some support Huckabee. Guiliani has become a moot point. Hunter and Thompson are gone, as is Tancredo. I think more support Romney than any other, but therein lies the problem. At some point, it's probably going to come down to just Romney. I don't like him, but I'm not stupid. I can see what's happening, even if it's not going to work out in the end like everybody thinks it is.

The real problem are those in my group, and those following Ron Paul. As opposed to the "Anybody But Hillary" crowd, my group is more akin to a "Anybody But Democrats and RINOs, Or Any Mixture Thereof" crowd. These two cross sections are what will throw the "conservative" voting base off of its axis. There are enough of us to do it.

We haven't changed in our stance of "NO RINOs Or Democrats!" and the Paulites are going to follow their guy to the bitter end.

So the big question is "how many" of us are there? That's the question everybody needs to be asking. Because it's going to come down to basic math in the end. I "think" there are enough of us to really impact things in November 2008. I could be wrong, but something tells me I'm not. All you have to do is go through a thread such as this one, and see all the major camps I mentioned above. It's all plainly observable, and the outcome is predictable.

Unfortunately, we're all going to do what we believe is right, and we're all going to suffer for it. Nobody wins in the outcome.

So why do men fight if they know they're going to lose? Do you have a "reason" to fight? ...even knowing you're going to lose? We have a reason....which is why we will act with NO FEAR...which is why I'm explaining what is going to happen.

We're too fractured as a conservative voting base and too many people are simply going to stay home out of anger. Even if we stayed home (which we won't), we're all still going to "lose". Those two groups I mentioned above are pretty much going ensure it.

The truly ironic thing of all is that the GOP and the MSM steered a goodly portion of its base into the "corral" that it's in now, and nobody seems to realize this. It appeared to me to be a "setup" from the time they started ignoring Duncan Hunter.

Are you saying you don’t find this a credible source?
It’s been verified and I can track down that these are indeed Romney flyers from 1994.

But I will only bother if you care. Would it matter to you? I was only pointing out the fact that Romney has been a consistent fiscal and law-and-order conservative since his 1994 run.

As for guns, Romney is far from perfect, and maybe that’s enough reason for you to not vote him in the primary, but here are a few points ... he believes in individual RKBA and knows it is more than about hunting:

Governor Romney On Parker v. District of Columbia:

Governor Romney: “It is my hope that the Supreme Court will reaffirm the individual right to keep and bear arms as enshrined in the Bill of Rights and protect law abiding gun owners everywhere. To further guard this fundamental liberty, as President, I will take care to appoint judges who will not legislate from the bench but will instead strictly interpret the Constitution.”
(Romney for President, “Governor Romney On The U.S. Supreme Court’s Decision To Review Second Amendment Case,” Press Release, 11/21/2007)

Question for Romney from Human Events editor Jed Babbin: Do you view the second amendment as vesting an individual right to keep and bear arms? I know the Supreme Court is about to consider the Parker v. District of Columbia case. Aside from the legalities: as you personally look at the Second Amendment, do you think that’s the right of the state or is that the right of the individual gun owner?

Governor Romney: “It’s the right of the individual. I believe that our Constitution vests in the citizens of the United States the right to bear arms, to have weapons for their personal protection, for hunting and for any legal and lawful purpose. I’d like to see our gun laws enforced, to see people who use guns in the committing of crimes in jail for a long time, but I believe that individuals have the right to bear arms, and any incursion on that right, I would find in violation of the constitution.”

“He’s a panderer”

yeah how *dare* he try to get your vote! (sarc)
Did it occur to you that if you dont vote for the guy who is *trying* to win your vote, you are telling the candidates “DONT EVEN TRY”.

So they wont.

And your issues/desires will get lost as Hillary panders to unions,gays, nannystaters and socialists and govt workers and wins on that.

So consider this: At least his is pandering to US for a change!
