Romney's gun bill didn't ban any new weapons. The guns that were banned would have remained banned if Romney had signed the bill or not. Romney's bill was actually SUPPORTED by the NRA because it actually relaxed some of the existing restrictions.
It really was a damned if you do and damned if you don't bill. If Romney had vetoed it the same people that are complaining about him signing it would be complaining that he vetoed it.
Any many of you are wrong.
Remember, your choices are Mitt (NRA "B"), McCain (NRA "C+"), Obama (NRA "F") and Hillary (NRA "F").
LOL!
But can you clearly blame Romney for the increase in democratic regsitration in MA? Lots of people around the country were pissed off because of the way the Iraq war was going, and I think that has contributed to republicans losing some support.
There isn't much time. It would have been nice if the four of them could hold rallies together of separately for Romney, but it's not going to happen. BUT ...
The four of them could sponsor a debate where they ask the questions. The debate could be on Sunday afternoon in the hours before the Super Bowl when most of us are just waiting for all the pre-game shows to mercifully end. They could invite Romney and McCaine. I guess McCaine would decline so maybe Rush could pretend to be McCaine and give his answers as best as he could. As for TV, if FoxNews would cover it Rush could always stream the thing.
The hour is late.

I sure as heck don’t know who to vote for. I flip’d a quarter, Heads-mac tails-Rom...tails won, so recon that’s who I’ll vote for...some choice,eh.
I’ve found it outrageous that these guys and their mouth pieces keep bringing up his money. You’d expect this from the dems but Republican’s playing the “class warfare game” is telling. I believe Charles Krauthammer said they hate him because he’s smart, rich and good looking - petty little men.
You mean a history like when he vetoed in-state tuition for illegals, pushed for a marriage amendment in Massachusetts, opposed drivers licenses and benefits to illegals? Cut taxes and balanced the budget? That history?
Or just that he used to be pro-choice, just as Reagan and both Bushes were?
That is exactly the major issue here. And remember, a vote for McCain (including all votes for Huckabee) is a vote for Obama/Clinton, and thus, as you note, 30+ years of a leftward leaning Supreme Court.
Yes, we must.
Hillary plus even two years of a Democrat Congress means that millions of illegals will definitely vote and you'll NEVER get a chance to get rid of them.
Some kinds of damage are irreversible.
How's that?
“Is everyone here crazy? Can you not see that the next president may appoint 2 Supreme Court justices...this will change the make-up of the Court for years to come.”
Some are so blinded by their hatred of Mormons that they can’t see anything. It’s no accident that many of the people who immediately hopped on this thread to call Romney names are the same people who show up on anti-Mormon threads making vicious comments.
Mark Levin is right.
Romney is a decent man who has lived an exemplary life. He is no sleaze. I didn’t support him at first because of some of his past positions, but I do now. He has come around. Yet, some here persist in trying to demonize him.
I am already not planning to renew my NR subscription, and I have had it for many years. In terms of true conservatism, it is becoming a pointless magazine. The Romney cheerleading and endorsement are two cases in point. I can read Mark Steyn online, and if I feel the need to check out NR, I will do it at the library for free.
You forgot to mention Romney’s good looks, all the way around. Slim, full head of hair and looks a lot younger than his reported 60. I told my husband I hope he looks that good at 60 :-),
This article speaks volumes about Romney's conservatism:
http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2005/12/09/romney_says_no_hospitals_are_exempt_from_pill_law/
He reversed his stand and in the process obligated Catholic hospitals to provide abortificants.
What a guy. What a conservative.
You don’t read too well do you. Go back and look at what I posted. If you don’t see any mention of his actions regarding homosexual marriage, get back to me.
