Hotline makes an excellent point in how pandering to gun-toting conservatives may not be the most salient skill for re-energizing the minority party that suffered bruising losses against a combo Democratic National Committee-Obama grass-roots/net-roots juggernaut... [More]Wrong, and this more than anything shows how the soulless, principle-free "moderates" are bent on driving out a traditional core constituency--to the point I have to wonder how many of them are really this ignorant, vs. which ones are Fifth Columnists.
Get it straight, lady: they didn't pander. They dodged.
But there is a silver lining. You don't think they'd have brought it up at all unless we'd done what we did here on WarOnGuns, do you?

Here is the comment I left there:
ReplyDeleteNo, the RNC question actually dodged the issue altogether. It isn't a matter of how many guns one owns. The real question is one of personal control/responsibility for our lives and property, a basic human right.
Many of us do not accept being made into helpless cattle to be tracked, herded and slaughtered for the convenience and profit of others.
Are you a responsible human being, or a willing slave/cow?
They take a debate that occupied the minds of the geatest men of the 18th Century and turn it into first-grade show-and-tell.
ReplyDeleteMamaLiberty has it right. I have a violin, a couple of guitars, a harmonica, a recorder, some drums and a penny whistle. That doesn't make me The Beatles. If I POSE in front of all that gear, people might MISTAKE me for a musician. Until they ask me to play.
The Republican party is like the monkey stealing chestnuts through a knothole. The more he grabs, the harder it is to get any back through the fence.
They totally ignored all 2nd amendment related questions. From what I have been able to ascertain They not only refused to address their responsibilities under the Constitution they refused to acknowledge the Constitution even exists.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the problem with pandering is that the so-called "gun-toting conservatives" realize that it's just pandering and not actual support. Winning candidates have been claimed by both the NRA and the Brady Campaign--which isn't particularly surprising since the host of this very site uncovered many candidates who apparently answered NRA questionnaires with what they felt were desirable answers--as opposed to truthful ones.
