    I think Ridge's point is: "Why would you want to vote someone into Federal Government, when you disagree what they have done at the state level?"

    To further that point, Sharpie noted that he felt Romney only did those things to please his constituants. So we need ask ourselves, how comfortable are we that WE will be the constituants that Romney decides to appease, and not everyone else?

    I really can't stand the thought of voting for either of the options in November. I'll vote, but it won't be a choice I'm proud of, regardless of the candidate.

    It is pretty clear (to me at least) that Beeho will be very bad for the 2nd Amendment if re-elected. We already know he supports the UN "small arms treaty" - and it didn't have the senate support it needed, recently. He has told the Brady bunch that he will get gun control enacted "under the radar". Then there is fast and furious, and some of the justice dept emails that tie the operation to calls for further gun control. He has also said he favors reinstatement of the AWB. So very clear to me what he intends to do. Then add in behavior like telling Medvedev of Russia to tell Putin he will have more flexibility after the election and his unconstitutional executive orders and it seems to me he may possibly go that route, regardless of consequences.

    While Romney doesn't have a stellar 2A record as governor, he has explained that as the wish of the voters. Given that Mass has remained a somewhat gun-unfriendly state after he was governor, I'm inclined to accept that. Ryan is a pretty staunch 2A supporter and appears so far to have a consistent record of support.

    I think that on balance Romney/Ryan would be more pro-2A than Beeho/Biden.

    I like Paul Ryan. I've had my eye on him for a while. I remember watching this one round table with the president where he went off on him. You could just see the president snarling under his breath about what Paul was saying. It was great!
