Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
And you really think there will be change in electing ANY of the other candidates? I'm not for Trump or against Cruz, but do you really think ANY politician will effect real change? Did we not elect a Repub majority in Washington? Have you seen ANY REAL change, or is it just biz as usual and a bunch of BS rhetoric? Repubs and Dems, no FN difference!
Look at my signature. This is the core of the problem. The people of this country made a choice to raid the treasury for their purposes. The people of the country made a choice to violate the constitution to fit their agenda. Unless the people of this country come to terms with the role of government, then the outcome is absolute regardless of who is in office. Elected and/or appointed officials only manipulate what they have been given on a silver platter.Originally Posted by milwaukeeshaker
And to directly answer your question. Look at what happened in Colorado in 2013 with the gun bills; that would never have happened if Republicans at least controlled one house of the legislature. There is a difference. However, there is not anything either party can do unless we correct the systemic problem with the Federal government, which will not happen unless the people of this country wake up to the role of the government. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell of this happening unless we are faced with a major crisis. The vast majority of the people in this country are fat and lazy; we need a wake up call.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

I agree with most of your post, but I don't think the people are totally to blame, they did not violate the constitution the elected officials do that. The power hungry, bought and paid for politicos are the problem, and I think despite what the people want or don't want, at this point with the rigged elections there is nothing we the people can do short of a mass protest, or riot situation. The people of Colorado actually threw three elected "officials" out, right here in this state due to their stance on the gun "laws" and what has been accomplished? Not a damn thing, we still have the laws, some of those vacant seats went right back to the hoplophobe Dems, the "people" spoke but no one is listening. So what would you have the "people" do?

I think some offer a better chance than others. You have to look at past actions as a guide. It's not a for sure indicator, but it's all we got.
On one hand, with Cruz you have a lifetime pro-gun guy who basically wrote the Heller Brief. A guy who wants to shutdown government agencies and has a history indicating that he means it as he is the guy who pretty much singlehandedly shutdown the government for 16 days. A guy who both republicans and democrates hate.
On the other hand, with Trump you have a guy who has supported anti-gun legislation, is on record supporting government provided healthcare, education and higher taxes on the rich. An authoritarian statist, he's on record saying he will use the office to punish journalists who write negative things. And a guy who has personally wrote checks for decades to the rotten politicians that are destroying our liberty. A guy who is supported by both left and right.
They are NOT the same. I simply cannot understand how anyone who says they are conservative can think Trump is the best choice for a pro-constitution president.
Trump is a better option than Clinton and for that reason alone I will vote for him (because I'm now certain he will get the nomination). I understand the cost of losing this thing. But Cruz without a doubt offers the best chance at reining in the Feds. We blew it once again.
Exactly. Most people have their heads so far up their a$$ they can't see the light of day and are completely out of touch with reality. As long as they have their GMOs, big pharma, their street drugs, booze, propaganda main stream media, and sports The USA will continue down the road to globalism, technocracy, communism, and agenda 21.
In the future to come the most important elected officials will be constitutional sheriffs who are true blooded Americans that understand what is happening to this country.
Yes, Hillary will effect real change. She'll end the constitution.
The Dems lost control of the Senate. The momentum is going against them right now. As long as pot hasn't attracted too many more dems we stand a chance of wresting control of the state from the Dems (or at least the worst of them).The people of Colorado actually threw three elected "officials" out, right here in this state due to their stance on the gun "laws" and what has been accomplished?

Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
The RNC chose Bush to be the nominee and fielded 17 candidates to split the vote enough to keep Bush in the race and no one candidate able to reach 1237 - then Bush would be nominated at the convention. Just like they gave us McCain and Romney, they wanted another insider career politician they knew they had control over - another Uniparty member.
Trump entering the race destroyed their plans as he gained more votes than anyone thought possible. Cruz was never meant to be a contender - he was only there to split the vote.
The more people find out about Cruz, the more his numbers go down. He is not the Constitution defending crusader his fans make him out to be. Some would say he is not even eligible. He is in fact an open-border, free-trade proponent. He only changed his tune as people flocked to Trump's closed-borders, America-first campaign.
Trump is the only candidate that has a chance at being something different than the decades of Uniparty we've had crammed down our throats. Whether he is or not, will have to wait to be seen. Cruz and Kasich are simply more of the same. Dems, of course, are products of Satan's butt hole and must be beaten at all cost.
Pat Buchanan wrote an article about why Trump's message resonates with so many:

Excellent!
Didn't realize Franklin was sporting such a pair.
My hat is off to him.
This really is our only hope. The feds will continue to regulate away our liberty. At some point, the only choice we will have to live freely will be to simply ignore the feds. Hopefully more than a few Sheriff's will stand between the citizens of their county and any feds who want to come punish folks who ignore unconstitutional federal regulations.
