Wow.. just wow...
but who was it that took their oath of elected office on a Koran instead of a Bible? I believe it was Mr. Obama was it not? That ought to say something.
Wrong-o. It was Keith Ellison, Congressional representative of Minnesota's 5th Congressional District, and the first Muslim elected to Congress. If you research the whole (bogus) controversy, you'll learn that:
a) The actual swearing-in ceremony is conducted en-masse (everybody at once), without any books at all.
b) After the swearing-in ceremony, Representatives have individual photos taken. In these photos, many (not all) use the holy texts of their respective faiths. But it's not a swearing... it's a photo op.
c) Representative Ellison used a Q'uran owned by Thomas Jefferson during his photo op. The book was loaned from the Library of Congress.
I wouldn't vote for you. Thanks for playing.
So now you're going to base your voting on what someone's
grandparents did? You might want to research the activities of Prescott Bush or Joe Kennedy before you go there. This is America. We don't have a hereditary caste system, with the exception of our inheritance laws... and even rich people fail. Punishing the sons for the sins of the fathers (or grandfathers) is fundamentally un-American. We rebelled against the British Crown to be rid of that crap.
I happen to think that George W. Bush is totally unqualified to hold office as town Alderman in the smallest town in New England. I wouldn't vote for the man for my local water district. But the fact that his grandfather was a Nazi-sympathizing scumbag has nothing to do with that. Likewise, the fact that Joe Kennedy was a bootlegging wiseguy scumbag would not have prevented me from voting for either of his sons. We're Americans. We stand or fall on our own merits.

That about sums up GOA's knowledge of the Second Amendment, all right. 
) who thinks there is no difference between Obama and McCain on gun control is simply ignorant.
