McCain's views more reasonable

The more I read about Barack Obama and his supporters, the more fearful I am of what they will do to the Constitution's Bill of Rights if Obama is elected, starting with the Second Amendment.

All of Obama's big-name supporters are anti-Second Amendment activists like Mayors Daley of Chicago and Bloomberg of New York.

And then there is the rogue Catholic priest Michael Pfleger, who was rebuked by Chicago's Cardinal George for leading a mob that blocked the entrance to a gunstore in Riverdale, a suburb of Chicago, threatening to "snuff" the gunshop owner and "snuff out legislators who are against our gun laws." His statements were viewed as death threats and morally outrageous by the cardinal.

What makes Pfleger important is that, as a long-term advisor to Obama, he has been a recipient of a $225,000 grant from the state and a $100,000 grant from the federal government as a result of Obama's influence.

On the other hand, Sen. John McCain met with the National Rifle Association's Wayne LaPierre and pledged to support the Second Amendment and to appoint conservative judges to the courts whenever he has the opportunity.

McCain's views are much more reasonable and just one reason I support him fully. I urge others to do so.

Didn't you hear? If you don't support Obama, you're a racist. (I was told this over the weekend by a friend (now, former friend) of mine who just couldn't get past the idea that I'm a McCain supporter.)

It's the new, improved, "reasonable" Democratic party.

If a friend told me that, they would be former friends as well!!!

Does any of this really surprise you about Obama? It shouldn't....

Why would anyone trust McCain on the 2nd amendment after seeing how he slaughtered the 1st?

My cousin and I have planned a game of golf this coming weekend but after a short debate over Palin vs. Obama, I think we ended the conversation with a cancelled tee time.

The McCain-Feingold act was reprehensible. However, if you are worried about what he MIGHT do to the second, put it into perspective by imagining what Obama WILL do to it.

This is also bugging the living crap out of me. Why do they keep wanting to compare Palin to Obama? Shouldn't they be comparing McCain to Obama??

McCain announced Palin as his running mate and every liberal friend of mine went absolutely berserk. I still can't figure out why. My current best guess is that he picked a strong-willed, good looking young woman with actual executive experience while they rejected H. Clinton, so their reaction is all based in self-loathing or something.

Is the Dem party still fighting the Clinton v. Obama campaign, but they're just putting Palin into Clinton's place? Seems like it....

I will not vote for any candidate that willfully violates our Constitution. If the Republican party has to lose to understand that, so be it. It would be better for this country in the long run. Since neither party is willing to stand up for principles that this country was founded upon, we have much bigger issues than a single presidential election.

Exactly..Supreme Court Nominations will effect us for most of our lives.

And didn't Obama vote yes for that act?

Overall, Obama has less respect for your and my rights.

The Constitution is an "all-or-nothing" deal -- you cannot tolerate violations to any part of it without undermining ALL of it.

The last time that I voted for the lesser of two evils, I got George W. Bush who orchestrated some of the most devastating attacks on our Constitution since the New Deal. I will never again make that mistake.

Do what you want with your vote, but mine will count towards the renewing of the Republican party.

What is your basis for your comment? I think that you should really think about your statement.............................
