So how about it? Who talks the talk and who walks the walk? Or if they're about equal on gun rights, what are their other pluses and minuses?

Eight previous Presidents were Life Members, even the one all Democrats Quote and look up to.

I don't trust any of them. They all look us in the eyes and tell us how they're our best friends and they all have they're sharp knives ready for us as our backs are turned.
I will never apologize for being an American.

When the alternative is Hillary Clinton, it's time to hold your nose and back a Republican.

Keep voting for the lesser of two evils and the result is still evil...

The Duopoly wants you to keep voting and thinking it actually matters. It's too bad there isn't anti-trust legislation against political parties.

But seriously, you really want a Democrat in the White House for another 4 (8?) years of "Common Sense" gun laws, "Operation Choke Point", and a Hillery-chosen US Attorney General?

Not to mention AT LEAST one USSC justice, and possibly 2-3.

“We’ve got to rein in what has become almost an article of faith that almost anybody can have a gun anywhere at any time,” Clinton said. “And I don’t believe that is in the best interest of the vast majority of people.”

But to not vote is something that I just can not do.

Well then vote - just don't vote for the lesser of two evils.

And yes, this means you can actually vote for one of the major parties, if you actually like one of their candidates. Granted, that doesn't seem likely, but I suppose it could happen... 8-)

Well, if my choice is between Hillary, whoever the Republicans field, or a third party, and I just do not want 4-8 more years of the same crap (or worse!) that the current administration is pulling...I hate to admit it, since I've been such a supporter of Libertarian candidates over the past 20+ years, but, voting for the Republican candidate in this case is the only option I can see to try and stop that. I'm finding that I'll be forced to in fact not vote my conscious, in order to ensure that the greater of two evils doesn't win the day. And trust me, I hate this feeling! :evil:

1) I can state most assuredly that I will NOT vote for the Democrat candidate.
2) If the GOP candidate is Chris Christie, I can assure you the GOP will NOT get my vote.
3) I more than likely would not vote for Rick Santorum.
4) If the GOP candidate is Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindahl, Ted Cruz, or Scott Walker, they will probably get my vote.
