While I am not the biggest fan of the party, for reasons similar to Peter's, I recognize the following as true: 1)The GOP at least gives lip service to things that are important to me, including the 2nd Amendment, 2)the GOP possesses a nationwide organization and 3)each level of the party chooses delegates for the next level convention (precinct to county, county to state, state to national). We have enough time, but just barely.Retired Mustanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02699864696101977529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-20145002497863935062013-01-10T20:12:58.961-06:002013-01-10T20:12:58.961-06:00I mean no disrespect to anyone but I am glad I liv...I mean no disrespect to anyone but I am glad I live in Canada and I don't have to deal with all this nonsense. <br /><br />I don't own a gun, never have owned a gun, and never will own a gun.<br /><br />I don't feel the need to own one ever. I have used them when I was in the military and I have friends who own hunting rifles but the whole right to bear arms thing seems to loose focus about how it was probably intended. <br /><br />My last 2 cents... we are not talking about guns but pistols and rifles. Guns are towed by a vehicle and can lob a 33lb shell 11kms to a target. That's what they taught us in artillery training.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-57789251269290327092013-01-10T10:25:08.288-06:002013-01-10T10:25:08.288-06:00I dunno.

I can understand wanting to smack the Demonrats on the nose with the rolled up newspaper, but... perhaps we should take some time to consider the potential unintended consequences of giving the Rethuglicans a permanent Presidential electoral majority.perlhaqrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920117742664645165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-22238952545087356622013-01-10T07:21:47.460-06:002013-01-10T07:21:47.460-06:00This would only work if the change were made acros...This would only work if the change were made across the board in all states. If it was only done in the red states the net difference may constitute a loss.<br />In TX for example. Our delegates all went to the Republic side. If we did it my district there would be delegates allocated to the other side around big cities.Tekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17347409124682537594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-79549737344450069472013-01-10T07:05:23.084-06:002013-01-10T07:05:23.084-06:00Personally I would rather see a resurrection of th...Personally I would rather see a resurrection of the original method of choosing the VP. It he original method, the presidential candidate with the second highest vote count became the VP.

You can't expect that to remain static if the electoral votes are apportioned by district. <br /><br />I'm also would not assume the GOP is pro gun. There are a lot of squishy RINOs and establishment drones that would be perfectly happy with confiscating guns from civilians.<br /><br /><br /><br />Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382683082580500698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-87064061647337361612013-01-09T21:14:20.169-06:002013-01-09T21:14:20.169-06:00This is an excellent point.
