I probably won't vote for McCain either. But I disagree with the statements above. McCain will want justices that will uphold his attack on the first amendment, but they won't be ACLU f-tards like Ruth Bader-Ginsberg.Quote:

On the very small plus side, McCain voted against the AWB renewal and for ending junk lawsuits against gun manufacturers. That law contained a safe harbor provision for guns that are "safely stored" so if someone snatches your FA Uzi by peeling your garage safe while you're on vacation, you don't get sued out of house and home. It also contains the stupid trigger lock provision.
If he picks Romney as veep, I'm definitely not voting for that ticket. I stood up at my caucus and told all the mormons that showed up what Romney had done to gun owners as MA governor. Very few cared. In the end, there were 35 votes for Romney, 5 for McCain 2 for Huckabee, and 1 for Ron Paul. Guess which one I voted for.
