Considering the court just supported the 2nd Amendment by only a 5-4 vote, it would be suicidal to our Constitution to put Obama in the White House with a Dem Senate. That said, with Palin on the ticket, I see no reason what so ever to hesitate to support McCain-Palin. Palin has given the conservative movement new life in the GOP.
Well, after Obama redistributes the wealth, and gives all the “Po” free college at the taxpayer’s expense, we won’t be able to afford to own guns, so it won’t matter.
“John McCain, encouraged by the 2 X 4 named Sarah Palin, will do just fine.”
Agree, McCain will do just fine - and will become the POTUS. Also, let’s keep in mind that we are not just voting for McCain, we are voting for the next twelve years of which eight of those years will be filled by Palin in the White House...
With McCain vesus Obama we have not so good versus HORRIBLE.
And at least McCain’s partner is on OURR side while Obama’s partner is as bad he is.
I don’t consider it an odious choice any longer. McCain-Palin may not be perfect in every way, but the choice is easy, now.
This thread is worthless without Dillon model pictures. 8^)
Burning the first to save the second really isn’t a good plan.
When they call for my arms I shall give them up freely, being the most free with my amunition, which I intend to surrender first.
“There are those in America today who have come to depend absolutely on government for their security. And when government fails they seek to rectify that failure in the form of granting government more power. So, as government has failed to control crime and violence with the means given it by the Constitution, they seek to give it more power at the expense of the Constitution. But in doing so, in their willingness to give up their arms in the name of safety, they are really giving up their protection from what has always been the chief source of despotism—government. Lord Acton said power corrupts. Surely then, if this is true, the more power we give the government the more corrupt it will become. And if we give it the power to confiscate our arms we also give up the ultimate means to combat that corrupt power. In doing so we can only assure that we will eventually be totally subject to it.”
—Ronald Reagan
Agree. I sent McC/Palin (the RNC) $100 this week.
I saw a photo of a gun store sign that said: “A gun owner voting for Obama was like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders”. I’m sorry I didn’t get a copy,maybe somebody else has a copy.
I'm not looking down at the gun... I shoot a $400 Mossberg, but someone like Kerry would shoot a high end gun.
Even Dick Cheney shoots a Browning ...
A review of the members on the short side of that 5-4 Heller decision shows that those are the members most likely to retire soon. A one-for-one swap should BHO be elected is unlikely to have great effect on the “balance” of the SCOTUS.
As for my vote, while I certainly believe Palin has brought new life and interest to the ticket, I will not be voting at the top of the ballot. McCain’s participation in the Keating Five cost me and the company I worked for in a direct way. He will carry my state (OK) handily without my vote so I don’t feel compelled to vote for McCain, his VP selection notwithstanding.
