cold dead hands
Moderator
I love my country. I hope that all of the citizens can get the best from life.
I will be 33 when the the vote comes around and I have noticed that my voting stance has changed greatly as I have aged, become wiser, smarter, more educated and concerned about the future (mine and my young children's). Most of all I have decidedly begun to vote pro liberty no matter what the chances are of the candidate winning or losing. I vote my conscience. No one will ever change that from here on in.
Liberty means you have the right to run your own life and do as you please provided you harm no one other than yourself.
(Bet you thought I was gonna say my single issue vote was guns, huh?)
I believe guns are the tool of liberty, but I do not make them my single issue. However, "from my cold dead hands" is my my life's motto. If they want a piece of my liberty they are going to have to earn it. It will get ugly should the they try to steal my birthright. I hate thieves.
BUT...guns only go so far.
I do demand a government that keeps greedy buisness people in check. I demand clean air, water and soil standards. I demand a protection for the Earth and all of the creatures that cannot battle us when we harm them.
I demand a government that tries to make us all equal and given the same opportunities. (please don't read that as a socialist statement. The rich have the right to be rich if they truly earned it through innovation and hard work. I just see too many rich people who got that way by holding down and refusing to help elevate their fellow man. I am no Christian, but I do believe the Jesus got it right when he said love your neighbor as you love yourself. Too many well to do, greedy types claim to be Christian yet refuse to love their neighbor they would themselves.)
I demand a government that keeps its religion and self imposed morals out of my private life. No harn, no foul. The words ''voluntary'' and ''consensual'' need to be required in any law passed from this day forward and all old laws must be rewritten or stricken down if they do not not represent the spirit of liberty.
Neither the Repubs nor Dems have given me hope for the last twelve years. I will still vote for the lesser of two evils, but I am said to say that this is the first time I will intentionally be a single issue voter. It saddens me that it will be for a stronger pro gunner.
After much thought I have decided the McCain will get my vote since he is likely to get the nomination.
I absolutely abhor the man, but he will be fighting a Democrat congress if he makes it into office. This kind of stalemate is most likely to benefit gun owners since Obama or Hillary will tow the party and sigh any anti gun legislation put in front of them.
In 2012 I would like to nominate my sisters cat for president. He may not make a good leader, but he won't be looking to screw bunches of people who don't agree with him and his only party line includes the full legalization of powerful catnip and better snacks for felines everywhere.
That is a platform I can get behind.
