Like I remind my daughter all the time... they ALL lie. Isn't that really the more serious issue? The fact that all Federal politicians lie to the public at will and are never held accountable by the media? Shouldn't that be a primary job of the media? Unfortunately that media left the building a long time ago. They're not asking the tough questions of the current Administration.

It is the Corporate media that brought in Obama and then Romney. There is always a risk, though, the media takes when they select a candidate. Sometimes, the candidate or puppet doesn't jump to the tune of the media masters. That is because sometimes in life there are other incentives for how a political leader may act. Once in office, the leader's motivations may not be in line with his corporate masters. Perhaps the leader would like to remembered as the greatest leader by his people, not just some kind of a puppet. Take for instance Justice Roberts. He acted so he would be remembered. He turned away from his ideological roots.
Turning around this dismal economy in four years may be beyond the grasp of any Presidency. But there are other issues too that are America's biggest problem. There is foreign policy that is on many voter's minds. Who do they want as President, an interventionist or a noninterventionist? That is also an issue that is deciding this election. If you end up with a leader who is less favorable towards gun rights, it is because you selected an interventionist candidate who doesn't reflect the majority people. You brought it upon yourselves.

I would not have picked Romney as the Republican nominee, but I have to vote for him given the alternative. Not my choice either, but I think a business man is precisely what we need to dig this economy out of the ashes. Agreed.

I've already quit smoking, chewing, drinking, and been married three times! Shoot fire! I'm virtually a Mormon already! Careful, Axe, I know your address... the missionaries might just show up at your door. Nah, I wouldn't want them to get shot at !

Osama is the spawn of satan, and he is trying to weaken this great nation of ours to make it more vulnerable for his Jihadist buddies to attack. He is the anti-Christ! I would vote for an empty seat over that turd... 4 more years of that idiot? NO WAY! You would have to intentionally try, which he obviously has, to F up our economy any worse than Osama has. At least Romney is an unknown as it relates to his performance as President. We know exactly what we'll get if Osama is re-elected, and likely worse. If Osama is re-elected we will see war on our own soil (either an invasion by a foreign entity or our second civil war) within the next 4 years. A vote for Obama should be viewed as a treasonous act IMO.

One thing we see misrepresented are quotes. One quote that is popular with conservatives is "they cling to their guns," but we never see the whole quote. Well, here it is and Obama sounds good. He blames Clinton and Bush era's, both parties. So what's he's saying is it's not surprising that many European Americans are pissed off. That is why they cling to their guns. Likewise, I will add, when it comes to everything Europeans or European Americans do or have done, one also needs to look at the conditions. What goes around comes around.

Is this Frank dude serious? He's a pot stirrer. Take him with a grain of salt.....or better yet, just simply ignore the banter. He's balancing "the line" right now, so it's all good. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time"

So what do you think of the whole Obama quote I posted above? I know what 100 others think and they say he was being "OK", that there was no big critique of gun owners in that misrepresentation we get in conservative media.

It is often said: "The lesser of two evils...". Why be willing to endorse evil to any degree?
Think about it...
