Has The GOP Made A Mistake By Dismissing Ron Paul ?

Has The GOP Made A Mistake By Dismissing Ron Paul?

n this election year it has become clear that the GOP ‘establishment’ has chosen MA Gov. Mitt Romney as their ‘choice’ for GOP nominee. Yet despite the ‘establishments’ and the ‘media’ blackout on Texas Congressman Dr. Ron Paul, Paul still has a very large spectrum of support, support that comes from gun owners; Veterans; Christians; Jews; ‘Blue Republicans’ a group of Democrats and Independents for Paul; supporters who contrary to what the media and the GOP says are anything but a bunch of college kids and anti-war protesters whose top concern is legalizing marijuana.

snip

What is it about the GOP and DNC that allows them to champion their support of Veterans when Veterans endorse the party backed candidate but dismiss Veterans when they support a candidate who does not have the backing of the party power brokers? Why do democrats and republicans shout from the roof-tops when they have Christian groups who endorse/support the party backed candidate, but dismisses Christian groups who endorse/support a candidate not backed by the party machine? There is something seriously wrong with a political system and a media which demonstrate such a dismissive attitude toward groups that they would be proudly extolling if these groups were supporting the party or media candidate.

Is the GOP really willing to dismiss such voters and continue to try and paint them as being of such an extreme fringe that they do not have a place in the party in 2012?

snip

With the Americans Elect group planning to place a candidate on the ballot in all 50 states in November, can the GOP really risk any chance they may have by alienating the wide reaching support base that Texas Congressman Ron Paul has and which continues to grow? What if Dr. Paul were to be the candidate on the Americans Elect ticket? The group’s tag line is “Pick a Candidate, not a party,” and Ron Paul has support from all walks of life; from all ethnic groups; from all religions. Are the Democrats really willing to bet that they will turn out the vote for Barack Obama from the independents that he too must have to win in November?

snip

Unlike the TEA Party which in so many ways has become the same GOP establishment they claim they formed to hold accountable, Ron Paul supporters have not sold their souls to party elders nor have they engaged in the very acts they oppose themselves.

Sinclair News is in no way saying that ALL TEA Party groups, but many of the TEA Party groups might want to look to the Paul supporters on how to organize and effect change without becoming the very characters you organized to oppose.

Is Romney Firing Blanks On Gun Support?

April 16, 2012
by Sam Rolley



Mitt “varmint hunting” Romney joined the National Rifle Association at its annual meeting in St. Louis on Friday.

In the NRA’s mission statement the organization says its express goals are to “promote firearms and hunting safety, to enhance marksmanship skills of those participating in the shooting sports, and to educate the general public about firearms in their historic, technological and artistic context.”

Many of the organization’s members are likely wary of Romney’s record on guns, considering his proverbial “Etch A Sketch” rhetoric concerning the issue.
Here are a few of Romney’s past positions concerning gun control:

• In 1994, Romney backed two gun-control measures that were strongly opposed by the NRA: a ban on certain assault weapons and the Brady Law, which imposed a five-day waiting period on gun sales. “I don’t think (the waiting period) will have a massive effect on crime, but I think it will have a positive effect,” he said. Also in 1994, Romney, speaking about his devotion to tough control laws, said he did not line up with the NRA.
• While running for Governor of Massachusetts in 2002, Romney said: “We do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts. I support them. I won’t chip away at them.”
• In 2004, as Governor of the State, Romney made good on the promise by signing a complete assault rifle ban into law, declaring the firearms “instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”
• During his Gubernatorial tenure, Massachusetts approved raising the fee on gun licenses from $25 to $100.

Romney took a bit of a turn on the issues during his first Presidential run. Romney told The Washington Post in 2008:

I believe we need to focus on enforcing our current laws rather than creating new laws that burden lawful gun owners. I believe in safe and responsible gun ownership and that anyone who exercises the right to keep and bear arms must do so lawfully and properly. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all federal approach to gun ownership because people keep and use firearms for different reasons. Law-abiding citizens have a right to protect their homes and their families and as President, I will vigorously defend that right.

In a 2007 interview, Romney told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos:

…I’m a strong proponent of Second Amendment rights. I believe people, under our Constitution, have the right to bear arms. We have a gun in one of our homes. It’s not owned by me, it’s owned by my son, but I’ve always considered it sort of mine. (Emphasis added.)

Borrowing his son’s gun that is kept in one of his homes was apparently enough, however, for the candidate to sign up for a lifetime membership to the NRA before his first Presidential run. Perhaps it is even enough for the millions of Americans who keep several guns in their one home for self-defense, hunting and sport shooting to believe that the candidate is sincere in his devotion to protecting 2^nd Amendment Rights.
