In 2004, as Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney banned the sale of assault weapons like the one used to spray 50-60 bullets a minute in the Colorado massacre.
On FOX News, Romney explained his position as follows:
"I believe the people should have the right to bear arms, but I don’t believe that we have to have assault weapons as part of our personal arsenal."
That seems like a perfectly reasonable position, no?
(Seriously: Do we really need to be able to buy and own these things? Is that really in the best interests of our society? Really?)
Unfortunately, in the intervening years, Romney has flip-flopped and now supports the sale of assault weapons like the one used in the Colorado massacre.
But the families of those who were shot and killed in the theater can presumably take some comfort from the fact that Romney was against these guns before he was for them.

Spit!
Then WHY the constant whine to keep our guns?
NONE of these groups claim to be 'christian'; and the only "TRUE" christians at that.
MORMONism is a heresy; no matter HOW fine someone's neighbors are that are deceived by it's seductions.
Well; we DO have a prophet in our midst!
So?
We have liberal BS 24/7 exCEPT for those 3 RUSH hours NOW!
Remember Air America?
(Neither do the Libs want to...)

Let me clarify since you don’t seem to get it. Yes, we have liberal crap all over the airwaves. But talk radio is a tremendous strength for our side. It is the free market that has seen conservative hosts thrive.
With 3 of 5 votes of the commissioners, the FCC could require the doctrine of “equal time.” If Rush has 3 hours, what the left wants to do is force the station to have 3 hours of an opposing position for equal time. Of course, not many would listen and sponsors would not want to pay to advertise for those 3 hours. It would destroy the economic viability of the station.
It is quite humorous that you had to site a wiki article about Air America as if I didn’t know about it.
Did you pay attention to what Obama recently did with back door amnesty? You need not be a prophet to understand the political implications. In 1996, Clinton put Gore in charge of a program to fast track citizenship of 1 million aliens in time for the November election. I discussed this with Dave Schippers on my radio show. It was one of the things his team did not have time to process because of the time restraints of the Clinton impeachment. They discovered that required criminal background checks were not done, and a high percentage of those who became Americans were felons. Many committed serious crimes against Americans after the fast track citizenship.
That was Clinton pulling off that scam. Obama is capable of much worse and we will see it. Not a prophet, I just understand politics.
I guess you will further have to explain the term “spit.”
So Elsie is prepared to take to the streets with guns? Do you even know what a PDD is?
We keep guns mainly for sport and the protection of our families. And, of course, just in case we need them to fight tyranny from our own government.
By the way, it is ANNOYING that YOU feel you MUST use capital letters to make your point. If you make a reasoned argument with clarity, people will understand.
This has been, shall we say an interesting and enlightening dialogue with you. Will you please answer this honestly?
If two men were drowning and you were only able to save one, which would you save? A Christian man who just murdered a convenience store clerk or a Mormon man who was known for doing charitable work in the community?
How about between a German Shepherd and a Mormon?
Nope; for SOME fool would ADVERTISE on those 3 hours - listeners or not.
I post things with a MUCH greater audience in mind.

O...
K...
Why the MORMON; of COURSE!
The near-death-experience could have been an ephiany for him.
The 'christian' has already made a correct decision about his salvation.
(At least you do notice the distinction between the two.)
This one requires a bit more thought...
Was the sheperd trying to save a sheep?
I use my scroll function a lot..I find it most useful..
Defeat Obama
You have no idea how the radio biz works. Yes, some fool would advertise for those 3 hours and for the other 9 hours of equal time, but the rates would be so low that the station could not generate enough revenue.
Hey, by you knowing that someone would advertise, we have prophet in our midst. A prophet and a bigot at the same time.
What is an ephiany?
Rather than slip into legalisms and declare that you have the right to harass me, why not just honor my requests?
WE ARE EVEN ON THE SAME TEAM AND YOU TREAT ME LIKE A HOSTILE AND CLAIM YOUR RIGHT TO KEEP DOING IT, WHY?
You don’t actually post to me or interact with me, you merely use my posts to post your massive spam, why not just choose someone else to use for that.
Your hostility towards me and stalking of me to piggyback on is unexplainable, especially since we are on the same side.
I have no idea why you take your attitude of attack against me, you have admitted to me that it has nothing to do with me reading your posts and that you aren’t interested in the points in my posts, that you merely have a lot of text and cut and paste that you want to show to the greater world and so you use my posts as the launch pad.
Why not just use other people for your posts, why does it have to be me, why not annoy people who don’t take the same side as you do?
