Mitt Romney talks about gun control in 2007

#1

Post by OldCannon »

You might want to grab some syrup while watching this, because a lot of waffles pop up. Romney does NOT understand the 2nd amendment, no matter what his spin doctors say. Watch his actions, not his words (jeez, didn't we say the same thing about Obama? :mad5 )

Yep, I said this in another thread I created...that I will hold my nose (to keep out the stench of elitism) IF I am FORCED to vote for Mitt Romney in the general election because he won in the primaries. I WILL NOT vote for Barack Obama...but Mitt Romney's stance on firearms is disturbing at best and downright ticks me off...I am the proud owner of both an AR-15 AND AN AK-CLONE carbine...I don't use them for illegal purposes (crimes) and so it shouldn't be a darned bit of Mitt Romney's (or anyone else's) business whether I own them or not. And on that issue, the man can either get with the program, or go pound sand.

The only way I'd vote for a republican candidate who's as squishy on gun rights as mitt is would be if I was sure they would repeal obaminationcare because it will singlehandedly RUIN our healthcare system. Considering mitts mass record, I won't even be getting that much. He won't be getting my vote. Period.

:iagree:

The GOP should nominate someone who has very different policies than Obama, not an Obama Lite.

I hope that all of you "I won't vote for Romney" folks won't feel that way if he's the republican nominee. Due to one of his recent speeches about the world being a better place when America is strong he is sounding stronger and stronger and more and more like Reagan. I have my reservations and do not remember much about Reagan the candidate. I didn't start paying much attention to politics at all until the late 80's.

I think, but could be wrong, any republican nominee is going to be way better than what we have now.

I hope the people who want a Republican to win in 2012 don't nominate an Obama Lite candidate like Mitt Romney. If they do, and they lose, they have themselves to blame.

ObamaCare ... allowed an Opt-Out

RomneyCare didn't

Just sayin'

Words are cheap, Obama uses LOTS of them

track records count

No, I'll not vote for him if he's the GOP candidate.
I'd vote GOP straight ticket maybe but one at a time so I can leave the President blank. (Unless there's a third choice who is pro-rights)

I never intentionally vote for anyone who disregards (has a track record for disregarding) rights.

I will feel that way. If we're going to get the same policies, the same ideas...why let a R take the blame? If you want to act like a dimocrat, run as a dimocrat. And to forestall the "but, but SC nominations!" people...there's a reason why we need to campaign actively to put conservatives in the senate who will block any radical appointment..by either Romney or Obama. Not sure Romney would appoint someone all that conservative to the court anyway. :???:

So, who will you vote for? A non vote is a yes vote for the incumbent, Bucko.

Because I am worried about what else that dipstick will do or try to do if he has another four years with nothing to lose.

Like it or not, and I don't, we often have to choose from the least objectionable.

Yup, I imagine that's what will occur if Romney is the GOP nominee ...Unless someone else is on the ballot from a third party who wouldn't win .... lots of us will be abstaining ....and we'll have 4 more years.... either way. If we had paper instead of Electronic, I could write in Perry.

I won't vote for Romney. (I'm not alone)

You mean a third party candidate like...er, uh, say a Ross Perot? That turned out really swell, eh?

Not really. Beginning in 2013, the IRS will begin fining me $225/month for not having any insurance. I can't afford insurance because I am self employed, in this economy, and I don't earn enough to get it, and because of several pre-existing conditions for which most insurance companies have rejected me. Believe me, I've tried. Since I have too much in the way of assets (own my home free and clear, and nice retirement investment nest egg), I am not eligible for the public dole—not that I would accept it even if I were. My total annual medical care costs me less than $2,000/year—all dr.'s office visits, prescriptions, and lab tests included—but the absolute cheapest insurance I can get (Texas High Risk Pool) would cost me $543/month, has a $7,500 deductible plus $5,000 out of pocket for a total expenditure of $19,500/year before I actually have any coverage......and it won't cover me for the first year for any pre-existing conditions. It gets worse from there when you look at what insurance companies want to charge me. And since I can afford to pay for my annual medical care needs out of pocket, I don't need any stinking insurance.

So, thanks to Obamacare, I have a choice between bankruptcy, or pay a fine.....for which I still get no coverage. Come 2013, I'll have the choice to pay Obama my monthly ransom and stay out of jail, or keep the lights on and go to jail for stiffing the IRS. I very sincerely hope he chokes on a chicken bone. He is a stupid and evil man who never thought out the consequences of his policies. What is going to happen to me in 2013 is exactly why Pelosi insisted that we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it. She didn't want anybody to know beforehand what is actually going to happen to them. She is even more evil than Obama. I hope Pelosi chokes on her own vomit and becomes brain dead, so that she can spend the rest of her life at the mercy of the system she helped to destroy.

To all of you who voted for Obama, you did this to me. You think about that the next time one of you wonders why I am so vehemently in contempt of democrats and their corrupt and irresponsible party.

I don't think much of Romney, but I'll choke on my own chicken bone before I'll see another 4 years of Obama. That man is the devil. 3rd party, write-ins, etc., are not an option for me. Obama must be defeated at all costs, whatever they may be.

Don't hold back, TAM. Tell us how you really feel.
