Quote of the Day

Just as the President said, he would have, he would have signed [the assault weapons ban] if it came to his desk, and so would have I.- Presidential Hopeful Mitt Romney on Meet the Press 12/16/2007

I will not vote for Mitt Romney under any circumstance. If the choice is between Mitt and Hillary, I stay home. We must defeat Mitt in the Primary. It’s an imperative. Scroll down on this post to the part titled “On Gun Control.” Mitt was singing a different tune in October. I’m guessing these latest shootings have made him think that it’s better for him to support a new assault weapons ban.

Folks, this guy has to be stopped. He’s truly a weasel and no friend of honest gun owners. He will turn on us in a minute if the polls tell him he should. I urge everyone to get behind a real friend like Fred Thompson or Ron Paul.

UPDATE: He’s also bragging about an NRA endorsement he never received.

UPDATE: Bruce has more.

Does the term “Jack Mormon” ring any bells?

I agree. Romney really is the John Kerry of the Republican party.

Besides, you can’t support the 2nd Amendment and an Assault Weapons ban at the same time.

We agree on Mitt, but not on Dr. Ron.

“If the choice is between Mitt and Hillary, I stay home.”

This is what scares me. Look, there are more names on the ticket than just the Presidential race. You’re going to pitch your votes for your congresscritters just because you don’t like the Presidential options?

Me, I don’t much care what the President’s stance on the 2A is, provided his stance on judges is good. I care a great deal what my senators and representatives feel about the 2A, however. After all, they, not the President, are the ones who can push through and pass gun control laws.
