scrolling through that page is a nightmare. He doesn't want us to have guns, but doesn't want to punish criminals, supports taking our money to pay for just about every nanny-state program you can think of, and is in favor of racial discrimination in all types of employment.

Um, Dude... Ron Paul is running for the REPUBLICAN nomination.
Of course if mccommie or some other RINO gets it it will be JUST like one of them for us gunowners.

Just remember to keep this High Road folks. An Obama thread was closed a month or two ago because it turned into a "let's see how many ways we can insult Obama and the other candidates" thread.
This info needs to be put out and read. Not closed up and forgotten.

I'd rather "waste" my vote voting for someone I believe in rather than vote for either a [bleep] or a [bleep] and then complain about it later. A guy like McCain is no different in my book than Barack.
What's wrong with this country is not the politicians but the guys who keep voting in the politicians, voting for the "lesser of two evils", and then complaining about it while doing the exact same thing the next election.
If you don't give your vote to a guy like Paul, that discourages other people like him who might be able to make a difference but won't because they don't think they have a chance. Because of guys like you, we can't even get another Ronald Reagan conservative in the White House; we have to settle for some moderate, big government Republican like Bush.
Ted Kennedy isn't a king; he's still in office because people VOTE for him.

I researched this comment some months ago. He said it once, back in 98 when he was a state senator. He has not repeated it. And he wont, as that would mobilize the pro-gun base against him. He isnt going to 'remind' people about it. Gun Control hurts more than it helps, remember Howard Dean, Mr. A+ rating from the NRA is the DNC chairman, and he'll keep Obama in check. 'assault weapons' is as close to 'semi-auto' as he'll get, and the closest he had come to repeating it was through a spokeswoman of him saying he supports renewal of the AWB. Keep in mind, his star is fast fading, as he is running on cult of personality instead of issues.
This board is terrible when it comes to 'sky is falling' scenarios.

Well then, I guess that's okay.
As long as he keeps his rabid anti gunowner views secret until after the elections, I guess we're in good shape.

What Im getting at - he knows it would hurt him. Thats a good sign. He isnt pulling a Gore and saying things like "Ill fight the NRA". He may be a rabid anti gunner but the fact that he isnt talking about them means that he knows his views would embarrass him and his campaign.

Obama and Dennis Kucinich would have made great explorers, a century or two ago. They've both staked out territory to the left of Hillary, where many of us thought there was none!
I also read some editorial columnist (last Sunday, I think) who opined that Obama was the first candidate to request Secret Service protection because his race made him a prime target for nutjobs (I'm paraphrasing; the leftist writer couldn't be that direct ...).
My opinion (worth at least as much as the editorialist's) is that he needs the REQUEST for Secret Service protection to save his vulnerable ratings, not his tender hide!

The bottom line is that if you're progun, don't be foolish enough to vote for him.
Don't worry...he'll correct himself soon enough, "...10,000 dead in that storm!!!" I'm sure he didn't mean all semi-automatics. I am sure he meant that the privileged could keep theirs...like politicians, police, big business owners. You know...people who can be trusted.

It's amazing what passes for "charismatic" or "articulate".
Here is what Barack Hussein Obama will say today:
(current news event) +
(...is morally equivalent to liberal cause favored by group I am speaking to today) +
(vote for me and the government will solve all of your problems)

So at least Gore was honest about his intents. Obama has no rattle on his tail right now.
And this is different from any other professional politician how? One of our biggest problems stems from "professional politicians". Those that have made their whole life revolve around getting elected to office, then doing whatever they have to do to stay in office. Obama is no different than most in this regard.

Just because it has been a couple of years since he uttered the statement does not mean that he has retracted his position. There was something just too slick about him to suit my taste in a candidate, going by gut feel here.

Alright, but it wasnt just a couple years ago. It was 9 years ago. And he wasnt even running for the US Senate then, let alone the Presidency, back then. Hell Finestien would like us 'to turn them all in' but it wont happen. What a politician believes and what he does are two different things.

So whats your point, are you going to vote for him?

And has he said anything since then to indicate that he sees things any differently? Would you be so foolish to assume his view has changed with no indication of such?
And would you be foolish enough to think that if Feinstein got an opportunity to ban them all she wouldn't?
If you keep playing with fire eventually you get burned.
Also, I like Ron Paul but I have reserved myself to the reality that he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the primary. and I don't want to see Rudy or McCain win. Therefore I see Fred Thompson as my best choice of the ones that could actually win.
