McCain slated for N.R.A. meeting
That last line had me laughing out loud, for 1 thing, I believe Barack Obama would be very afraid to show up at a place that was filled with gun lovers and gun owners, although most are sane and normal people there is always that 0.001% that’s just plain ape-shit crazy and would hide a gun in a body cavity if they thought they would get even a remote opportunity at taking a shot at the Jr. Senator from the great state of Illinois…
Last week, Sen. Barack Obama claimed that many Midwestern voters “cling†to guns and religion to placate themselves for their loss of jobs and economic prosperity. SOURCE
Anyone can understand the NRA not wanting Obama there after the bum made such ridiculous statements but the didn’t invite Hillary?? She’s into guns ya know, she said so…
“You know, some people now continue to teach their children and their grandchildren. It’s part of culture. It’s part of a way of life. People enjoy hunting and shooting because it’s an important part of who they are. Not because they are bitter. … As I told you, my dad taught me how to shoot behind our cottage. I have gone hunting. I am not a hunter. But I have gone hunting.”  SOURCEÂ
Yeah, well, I’m not a pilot but I’ve been up in a lot of airplanes, does that instill a sense of confidence in you?? And if there is anyone out there that truly believes Hillary and her impassioned pandering of gun owners, I have some bridge properties you may be interested in owning…
Now, on to Sen. John McCain and guns, McCain, the apparent darling of the Republican party and the leader of a bunch of ankle biting little lapdogs affectionately called McCainiacs…Â
Sen. McCain is basically a pandering politico and will say and/or do anything it takes to get elected to the presidency, including, but not limited to pandering to gun owners in an attempt to gain their support and the support of the Conservative voting base, a base that he all but turned his back on in 2000…
John McCain tried running for president in 2000 as an anti-gunner. This year it appears he is seeking to “come home” to the pro-gun community, but the wounds are deep and memories long. John McCain - GOA 2008
As if there wasn’t already plenty of evidence that Senator John McCain is the wrong choice for pro-gun Republicans in the Presidential primary, the Columbus Dispatch has added one more item to the list: Buckeye Firearms Association
Nowhere is McCain’s chicanery and duplicity more jeopardous than in the area of the right to keep and bear arms. On issues relating to the Second Amendment, John McCain is a disaster! For example, the highly respected Gun Owners of America (GOA) rates McCain with a grade of F-. McCain’s failing grade is well deserved. John McCain Is A Liberal Gun Grabber
I could go on and on but you get the idea, McCain is sucking up to the NRA and will turn his back on the gun owners of America as soon as he’s sworn in and any way this thing goes, gun owners will become the target…
McCain may be a bit better president than Hillary and Hillary would be infinitely better than Obama but let’s face the facts, if these 3 are the best that the parties have to offer and if we are so complacent that we’re willing to accept these candidates, then come November we’re going to get exactly what we deserve…

If I actually thought a symbolic vote for none of the above would actually send a message, I’d do it. But I’d not like to know Obama became president because I as making a statement.
It all comes down to the presidential election Jenn, Conservative MUST support Hillary, McCain can beat her but I don’t think he can beat Obama, the ragheads and brothers will come out in record numbers and McCain can’t overcome those numbers…
Hold your nose and start touting Hillary, after the Dems put her on the ticket, then support McCain if you must, although between those 2, McCain and Clinton, I don’t see that 2 degrees of separation we hear so much about…
Amd again it appears that someone else doesn’t understand the None of the Above thing, I have always tried to read up on something before I made a comment…
Maybe you need to actually look at my stance on None of the Above…
None of the Above
Dammit! I’m gonna be at that shindig too, and I didn’t get MY name in the paper! Ok, so I’m not running for prez… but still… aren’t I special?
(One word about a short bus Fred, and I’m on my way to Texas! heh.)
Y’know, I was going to actually post a “Vote for Hillary” thing today, but got distracted by life. sigh… well, maybe later.
McCain has a “C” rating by the NRA and F- by Gun Owners of America. Both ratings are those of a gun grabbing politician. McCain will throw gun owners to the dogs once he no longer has need of them.
BobF: Couldn’t agree more Bob, McCain is a RAT looking for a place to shit, but you can’t convince the McCainiacs of it…
