Bitter, Clingy Gun Owners of America and you can too

If you must shoot someone, you should wish to do the best job, so you'd use a shotgun. With a handgun you might shoot them once, but they may still have enough left in them to harm you back. As for the knife, it is not only a dangerous weapon it is also much quieter :)

I'm all in favour of cutting down on noise pollution - how about a silenced pistol? ;-)

How about silencers for politicians instead? LMAO

Hello ClarusVisum, Just a point of clarification: You said: "Elitist snob? He was raised by a single mother in a broken home..." This statement is misleading. In fact, the majority of Obama's youth was spent in the comfort of his grandparents' home on Oahu, Hawaii, where he attended "the elite Punahou School." http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/Story?id=2822061&page=3 When Obama was five or six years old, Stanley-Ann, his mother re-married "Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian oil company manager". It was between the ages of 5 or 6 and 10 years of age that Obama lived in Indonesia with Stanley-Ann and Lolo, and his baby sister. Obama only lived in a 'broken home' between the ages of two and five. And, even then, it was blanketed with the comfort of Obama's stable, maternal grandparents.

I imagine robehren is referring to gangs, and possibly 9/11. But I side with ClarusVisum all the way. McCain has no interest in our best interests. His election would be Bush's encore. As if it even needs to be said, George W. Bush exploited 9/11 to actualize his father's covetousness on foreign resources. Like ClarusVisum says, we have completely ignored the man behind the barbarism that started the "War on Terror," and instead went and killed the leader of a nation that had nothing to do with it, accusing them of denying us access to vital information and harboring weapons of mass destruction. I believe George H. W. Bush himself once said, "I wish they'd hurry up and find some of those weapons of mass destruction." Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that Iraq and Iran sit on over 70% of the world's oil supply. Convenient that, while George W. Bush supports alternative energy development, he is entirely against alternative fuel. When asked about the price gouges on oil, he acted oblivious to it. Apparently he must also be oblivious to the fact that the earth is heating up, melting the polar ice caps and escalating natural disasters. Our home planet is being destroyed faster than ever, and American employment and stocks plummeting, while the fat cats' only concern is to get fatter. "Ah, we can let our children be the heroes and save the world (when it's too late). Let us sleep on it for now and live it up lavishly!" Yah, that's really serving your country. Salute! I would have been quicker to vote for Clinton than Obama, but I'll take him over Bush III (er, I mean McCain) without a second thought any day of the week, and even more quickly if he decides to put Clinton on the ticket with him.

Uh, for one thing, I don't want to see this country piss away ANOTHER trillion dollars in ANOTHER pointless war, this time in Iran. Also, as you can see in the link I gave before, even if I agreed with John McCain on the issues, I couldn't vote for him, because his willingness to flip-flop on TORTURE of all things, something he has experienced personally, tells me that I can't trust him to stay true to any stance he takes now. Even after he became living proof that torture is used primarily to force false confessions out of people (he made false confessions under torture in Vietnam, if you weren't aware), he'll still turn around to support it just to gain favor with Bush's base? Are you freaking kidding me? That proves to me that the man is not true to himself...after all, if he'll flip-flop on torture, an extremely personal issue to him, what WON'T he flip-flop on? (The answer is "not much", evidently: http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/06/16/mccain-sets-a-new-record-10-flip-flops-in-two-weeks/#more-30138) http://clarusvisum.blogspot.com/search/label/Reasons%20not%20to%20vote%20for%20John%20McCain Before Obama became the nominee, I had already decided that I would vote for whoever was running against McCain. Frankly, it's just icing on the cake that Obama's a great candidate overall--he could be a lot worse and still be way preferable to McCain in my opinion.
