Gunning for victory risky for Obama
Washington Times ^ | 16 sept 08 | Donald Lambro

Posted on 09/16/2008 5:10:47 AM PDT by rellimpank

Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama's hopes for carrying Montana have diminished over the past few months, and Montanans say it comes down to one word: guns.

"In Montana, we like our guns. We like big guns. We like little guns. We like shotguns. We like pistols. Most of us own two or three guns. Gun control is hitting what you shoot at," the state's Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer told the New York Times in April.

“Most of us own two or three guns.”

Just two or three? I bet the good governor has misunderestimated his fellow Montana folks...

I bet Obama wishes he had voted “Present” 131 times instead of just 130!

BO has a new radio ad out featuring a former NFL star (missed his name) who claims both BO and McCain support the RKBA, but BO would cut middle class taxes by $1,000, thereby creating more jobs.
Three fantastic fibs in 30 seconds.

He meant two or three per family member.

LOL! You got that right! But your post has calmed me down somewhat. By the way, I could go by your handle.

With all due respect, it isn't guns. Its freedom. Owning and having use of a gun is just part of being free.

As much as I love Montana and Montanans, I don’t think religion is as big a factor in their voting as it is in the South or even in the Midwest.

Remember, they don't want to ban all guns. Just the ones that the regular folks use. The elites will still get to keep their guns in a liberal world.

I remember a lot of us were very excited about the role the NRA and GOA would play in defeating Al Gore in places like PA and MI. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. I do hope it's more successful this time around.

The good news is this moron the Dems are running for President isn't a Southerner, and he's on record in San Francisco as mocking us bitter morons in flyover country as clinging to guns and religion.
