What a jackass. He's not for taking away the right to own a modern sporting rifle, but you should have to join the Navy and qualify by completing SEAL training before you can own one. So how is that different from "I'm not in favor of taking away the right to vote, but I think you should have a graduate degree in political science before you can exercise it?"

Jackass, jackass, jackass, jackass. THIS is what the republican party is coming to. THIS is why I no longer consider myself a republican. More and more, republicans are coming to the conclusion that they need to speak and act like democrats to get elected. If my choices are democrat, or wannabe democrat, why should I not not simply remain an independent and vote for the least offensive candidate?

I'm pretty much done with party politics. I don't care who the parties run. It is a RARE person indeed who remains true to his or her legacy once they get to the DC swamp. State capitols are only a tiny bit better. In the meantime, I continue to prepare for what is inevitably coming.
