Mitt Romney and Gun Control
Thursday, September 29th, 2011 at 2:39 PM

M. Romney on semiautos: “These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense,” Romney said in 2004. “They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”

That's sad. I almost liked the guy.

 

[Twmaster]

I never liked the guy. I pray he does not get the nomination. Thus far I really like Cain.

 

[MLR]

“They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”

Just the ticket for a well armed militia.

I was thinking about posting something on his 2nd Amendment positions.

From: http://www.issues2000.org/Mitt_Romney.htm#Gun_Control

– 2008: "Lifelong" devotion to hunting meant "small varmints". (Jan 2010)
– GovWatch: 1994: did not “line up with the NRA”. (Feb 2008)
– Support the 2nd Amendment AND the assault weapon ban. (Jan 2008)
– I support the work of the NRA, but disagree sometimes. (Dec 2007)
– Ok to ban lethal weapons that threaten police. (Dec 2007)
– Compromise MA gun bills were net gain for gun owner. (Aug 2007)
– Supports Second Amendment rights but also assault weapon ban. (May 2007)
– Will support assault weapons bill and Brady Bill. (Aug 1994)

I won't vote for him, even if it means 4 more yrs. for President, President Obama. The reason is, that I view him simply as Obama light. If he were to win it would be,I'm afraid, 4 years of pretty much what we have, at the end of which, we would have zero chance of electing anyone better. Our choice then would be him or a MORE LIBERAL democrat. I believe the media will try to get the conservative vote split, between Perry and Cain, which will assure that romney will be the Rep. nominee. ( I realize there are more than a few on this forum that have trouble with Perry.) I don't believe our country can stand 4 more years of either one, Obama, or Romney.

Obama - Romney - Cain - Perry - Bachmann

What's truly different between them? Their method of assault on your liberty? The extent of their assault sure isn't.

While I will vote for anybody who is not Obama, Romney is about the last on my list and always has been.

I'd vote for Romney over Obama any day of the week. If those were the only two choices on the ballot it wouldn't be hard to figure out. Obama should really move to a true socialist country and embrace it. In my book he's lower then whale poo.

True. And I'd wager at least three out of those five will all have us slugging it out with Iran within their term, and probably five out of five will have us in Syria. If you like reading about OK soldier's funerals about twice a week, those are your boys (and girl). Elect someone that will stop that B.S.
