Senate picks new head for BATF&E

[JTHunter]

As expected, the Senate confirmed Byron Todd Jones as director by a 60-40 vote. Six (6) Republicans voted with the majority and no Democrats in the minority. Unfortunately, one of the turncoats was Illinois "mentally challenged" stroke RINO, Kirk.

[MErl]

this is the anti gun guy right?

 

[jerkface11]

He's head of the ATF isn't he? Of course he's anti-gun.

 

[JTHunter]

You're both right.
After all, he was appointed by Dumbo! :banghead:

 

[LeonCarr]

The six turncoats will hopefully be unemployed next year.

Just my .02,

[JTHunter]

Ditto!

 

[Lateck]

Not all of them.......
We just voted Mc Dumb (Cain) back in not that long ago... :-(
(I'm sorry).

Lateck,

McCain has not been a strong ally in the battle to preserve the Second Amendment.

Moreover, I want to know what the heck is going on in Alaska! (Too many people from Seattle moving up there?)

 

[InkEd]

You guys in AZ should vote for Sheriff Joe as a write-in candidate for almost every office.

 

[SilentStalker]

This is old news. But I agree all of these people that voted for him should be put out of office when the re-election cycle comes around. However, as has been mentioned in other threads on this, he has been actively over the BATFE since 2011. The thing is perhaps he did not wield full power at that time and can now that he is the real appointee.

 

[Texan Scott]

Obama has three years left in office... he was gonna get a nominee into BATFE, and that nominee was GONNA be hard-core anti. No way around it.

At least we know what to expect. The guy has a clear stance and record, which is about as close to honesty as politicians and political appointees get. It's not like he's Chris Christie or something.

Gun owners have to start to vote for republicans don't cry when that KNOCK COMES! in the early AM

 

[orionengnr]

Yes, but don't be fooled into voting for "Republicans" like Chris Christie, Michael Bloomberg, John McCain, Jeff Flake, Marco Rubio (Gang of Eight) or the other turncoats that masquerade as Republicans...

The Leftists do enough damage to our Country. Don't vote for pseudo-"Republicans" who encourage/support them.

McCain was actually against us during the months after Sandy Hook. I can't remember which Bills off the top of my head but I followed very closely and he definitely is not on our side.

He was against us for years before the latest push.

Here is my wife's reasoning on the upcoming national elections in '14. '16:
She suggests that for the GOP to win a majority in the Senate, maybe get back into the WH, the GOP might be forced to make certain compromises, as both parties always do.

The problem is where to compromise, and how much.
As for pro 2nd. Amendment issues, you guys know much more about this than I ever will.
A GOP guy in the White House would replace this new BATFE guy, would he not?

 

[JTHunter]

Override - would you "compromise" your 2A Rights and, if so, to what extent?
What about your 1A Rights? Would you change your place of worship (not a specific building but the affiliation, i.e., Catholic, Methodist, Lutheren, etc.) in order to continue practicing your religion?
Would you be willing to convert to Islam to stay alive?

How far are you willing to compromise your core beliefs?

So why do you think Republicans/Conservatives should compromise?
If they do, they are no longer Republicans/Conservatives, are they?

NO compromise, No "surrender". :banghead:
We have given up too much already.

We had two compromise candidates, McCain and Romney. How did that work out?

No, if conservative must lose, we need to lose on principles. However, I believe we can only do better if you do not compromise.

In congress, compromise means conservatives give in to liberals. Liberals don't compromise or lose anything.

 

[JTHunter]

Buzznrose - Ditto!!

Well said.

 

[Ignition Override]

Buzznrose: Those are quite valid points.

 

[lloveless]

In Tn we need to replace Alexander and Corker, who of late have become RINO'S.
