Bachmann and Paul proving to be key leaders....In this respect, Congressman and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has been a true hero. She has stood up, frequently alone, to oppose any debt limit deal that would allow the money to be used to implement the anti-gun ObamaCare law. This is a critical bottom line for gun owners. Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) has also spoken out against a deal to raise the debt limit, spearheading a drive that gets other congressmen to sign a “Cut, Cap, and Balance” pledge."
You know people get upset about it.
You're just supposed to get behind their candidate-of-choice and STFU.
Interesting choice of words in the headline “blasts” ....
He’s not the best, but he’s better than Mitt’s D-.
So pick between Newt and Myth, unless somehow Ron Paul (ooooops, Texican).
But, but he’s so SMRT and on top of that handsome and his ethics and honesty are unpeccable!
Now we are told to vote for Newt or Mitt Romney wins Primary, only to lose to Obi in Presidential election. When or when do we Republicans get to vote FOR someone and not AGAINST someone??!!!!!
Not Breaking News.
The real problem is that he will play both sides of an issue, not just gun control. It’s hard to know who he is, and what he believes.
Lets look at the named contenders agains Mitt and see their grade at getting elected.
Ron Paul = F
Rick Perry = C
Michelle Bachman + F
Rick Santorum = C
Newt Gingrich = B
Mitt Romney = C-
These are my figures of course and none are guaranteed to beat Obama.It’s going to be a rough one to win, but IMO Newt has the best chance at this particular time.
Santorum has a chance of earning a higher rate the others are pretty much stagnant.
Newt may sway back and forth on gun control, but we all know Obama is dead set against guns. The President doesnt pass gun legislation anwyay he only signs the bill.
If we are worried about gun legislation we need to keep the House and win the Senate.We need to place Eric Holder in jail and we need to get rid of Obama.We need to encourage Republican RINO’s to grow a pair, since there is little doubt wqe can replace them with real Republicans.
Newt talks a good game when he isn’t wandering off into the World Of Oz but at heart he is a Big Government guy.
He just doesn’t walk the talk.
If you look at his history and the details of his proposals he generally sides with government control or government “solutions” even while he preaches smaller government and free markets.
His solution to unemployment compensation? A government program to train the unemployed.
His solution to the illegal alien mess? A government program to legalize illegals, complete with another bureaucracy with committees to decide who gets Shamnesty and who doesn’t.
I wonder what they base her rating on?
I think Perry will be the nominee.
I agree that we need to press the issue about this problem with Gingrich, and I do remember what he did back in the 90’s with the AWB...
So I might as well throw this out there and see what the concensus is...
What “if” Newt came out and reversed his position and stated he is Pro-Second Amendment, totally anti-gun control, desires to reverse some gun-control regulations/rules/laws, and enforce the SCOTUS’s Heller decision???
I am in no way endorsing or supporting Newt at this time, I want to see if any of the single issue FReepers out there have any thoughts if he did this...
Because as much as people want to raise this up as a real issue to NOT support Newt for the nomination, I would summize it might be in good standing to point out the more horrible track record of the Republican Party Leaderships’ boy Mitt Romney in this case...Maybe we need to send a message to them to stop forcing an obvious hazard to our Second amendment rights on us...
I would be more concerned about that than Newt at this time...
Just my opinion...
I like Rick Perry:
“There are already guns on campus. All too often they are illegal,” Republican Gov. Rick Perry said. “I want there to be legal guns on campus”
This is truly an historical primary season.
The only candidates given a chance are those who will fit right in to the Big Government insanity that dominates Washington, DC. - and we haven’t even seen the first vote cast!
Any candidate who actually stands for the people and the constitution was torn down and/or destroyed right at the get go.
