Fear-mongering is NOT fact. There is nothing to fear. No one is going to take away the rights of
Montanas to keep their guns. Vote for the people who are most likely to help Montanans get
access to affordable healthcare. No health insurance? Now THAT is a life and death matter that
is something to fear.

Not pointing this at you, Clarity,  just saying that maybe everyone should take a little time to
read the Socialist Manifesto.  Most don’t even know it exits.  Great read.

Vote for the people who are most likely to help Montanans get access to affordable healthcare.
Political titles, manifestos, whatever.  NONE of that matters if you, your family or your
neighbor don’t have access to health care, or have to choose between medicine and losing
everything you own.  These are the things that really matter in our daily lives.

If you believe free health care is more important than freedom (which the 2nd Amendment was
meant to preserve) then just get yourself put in jail.  You get all the free health care and
free food in there you want.

Remember the new federal law that allows concealed weapons to be carried in our Nat’l Parks?  That was Obama
who signed that into law.  That is definitely not the action of someone who wants to take away our guns.  The gun
lobby, however, loves all the fear and paranoia; it gets folks to go out and buy more guns - just what they want…

Please.  I’m not buying that the Obama that denegrated a huge part of the country by
dismissively stating that they just “cling to thier guns or religion” is a gun rights guy.
Obama would have veto’ed that if it was sent to him as a stand-alone bill but Replublican Sen.
Tom Coburn inserted it as an admendment to a bill Obama wanted that introducted new credit card
regulations.  His voting record speaks for itself:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_social_policy#Gun_policy
He speaks like a gun-rights guy to triangulate a position to get votes but doesn’t actually have
the conviction to vote for them.

Besides, the short game allowing citizens to carry in the parks matters little to him if he can
succeed with his long game and stack the courts with anti-gun liberal judges that would
eventually get rid of guns altogether or at least limit our rights so as to be effectively
elimiated.

The lefties are so desperate for campaign cash that they’re now offering dinner with Pelosi and Gore!
One would be better off and get more intelligent conversation buy buying a plate of Carrots to discuss
current events with!

The amount of money spent on this campaign sickens me as do most of the comments on this
thread that do nothing more than spread the gap between us.

The new slogan of the republican party and its supporters is “We make things up as we go along”.

Meanwhile, the left sticks with that tried and true message: If only we can deceive them one more
time…...We’ll leave the remaining 53% without a dime!

Evaluate the actions, words, associations of Comrade Obama, and then add in his total failure to do
anything about the economy other than make it worse.  Consider his opposing the Keystone pipeline,
and his “energy” czar saying gas should be 8 bucks a gal. or more.  Only a profoundly stupid person
would ever vote for Comrade Obama to be reelected.  Rather, he should be impeached.

As a life time member of the NRA I have not seen any of my gun rights taken away under Obama. In fact I now enjoy
carrying my 44 mag into National parks where before Obama I did not.

Heck, Obama has been the best thing that has ever happened to the firearms industry - Ruger, in fact,
has been turning away orders because they had a 3 month backlog.  Firearms company stocks have
been enjoying huge support.  So, that makes Obama the firearms salesman of the last 4 years…lol…

You are right of course, JB. But the fear mongers must continue to incite the true believers or
those may start to wonder why their lifestyle falls faster under more conservative government.

Fear is probably the best motivator, but you would think even the deluded will eventually have
doubts. The most recent 3.5 years of continual fearmongering gun owners has been a windfall
for the firearms industry, but after all this time of nothing happening it seems even the most
radical rightwing nut would start to see through this B.S. for themselfs…. finally.

Hope spring eternal.
