2012 Election

[ELMER J. FUDD]

What say you?

[Single_shot]

It's sad when you don't like any of the "contestants"

[13BVET]

How come Bugs Bunny, & Daffy Duck weren't put up as candidates? Mickey & Donald are far too liberal. By the way, Elmer, thanks for the tree-the wife loved it!

[WNYBuckHunter]

You forgot Santorum (or however you spell it).

[ELMER J. FUDD]

I'm doubting he'll be a factor outside of Iowa, but can you add him to the poll?

[Culvercreek hunt club]

Really is hard to believe this is the best we have to offer.

[WNYBuckHunter]

There ya go, hes there.

[ELMER J. FUDD]

Thanks WNY.

What is it that draws people to Romney? He seems sneaky and like he lies more. I think Ron Paul or Newt is the best bet for the economy. Santorum is decent, I've just been snowballed by the lack of coverage on him. They shot my man Herman Cain down because he was too real.

[13BVET]

Bachmann has to be removed-she dropped out of the race. Incidentally, I liked Herman Cain also. He was the only one that seemed to make any sense at all!

[Culvercreek hunt club]

Unfortunately it is too early in his political career but I would have loved to see Allen West run again BO.

[burmjohn]

I'll take Paul

[ANTLERS]

Ted Nugent!!!!!!!!

[Dave]

You forgot Santorum (or however you spell it).

I keep getting these political alerts that there is a problem with Santorums stance on the second amendment. Not favorable for gun owners.

From His Website

Coming from Pennsylvania, a state with a rich heritage of hunting and fishing, Senator Santorum understands firsthand the importance of preserving our constitutionally protected rights found in the 2nd Amendment. Senator Santorum fights to preserve this tradition, and will work to ensure these rights are not infringed upon.

As a Senator, Rick Santorum opposed frivolous lawsuits against the gun industry by supporting legislation (The Protection of Lawful Commerce Act) that would protect law abiding firearms manufacturers and dealers from frivolous lawsuits attempting to hold them liable for criminal acts of third parties.

Rick Santorum vehemently opposed the Assault Weapons Ban because he believes that there are more effective ways to stop gun violence, such as stricter enforcement of existing laws, than taking away the rights of law abiding gun owners.

Senator Santorum was also the proud author of legislation to eliminate the requirement that all hunters and fishermen furnish their social security numbers when getting a license. It was estimated that this legislation would help save 16 million hunters and another 24 million fishermen who buy their licenses every year from falling victim to identity theft.

For his work on behalf of gun owners and sportsmen across the country, Senator Santorum consistently received the highest possible ratings from the National Rifle Association and gun owners groups from around the country."

Santorum Favors Gun Control Candidates

“The evidence is clear,” said Dudley Brown , executive director of the National Association for Gun Rights, “[Rick Santorum] has a long record of supporting anti-gun legislation and politicians.”

Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum’s lengthy history of backing candidates that would limit or curtail Second Amendment Rights stretches back to 1990’s when he favored the Lautenberg Gun Ban, followed in 1999 by a bill requiring federal background checks at gun shows and in 2005 a bill that would have mandated locks on guns.

The Lautenberg Gun Ban contained a severe penalty for gun owners who spanked their children or grabbed their spouse’s wrist. This domestic violence provision stripped offenders of their Second Amendment rights.

Santorum has supported former Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter and campaigned for New Jersey governor, Christine Todd Whitman. During the 2004 election, Sen. Spector (R-Pa.) had a tight race with fellow Republican Pat Toomey, With Spector trailing in the polls, Santorum put his backing behind the gun controlling Spector. Eventually, Spector won the primary over Second Amendment favoring Toomey going on to “push for gun control in his years in the Senate,” Brown explained.

Don't believe everything these politicians put on their websites!!!!!!! What they say and what they do are two different things. You can't have it both ways.

It was my pleasure! BTW I shot bugs and daffy. Didn't you watch cartoons as a kid!

Man there is a big double standard when it comes to Republicans and Democrats. Caine hit a little bump with a woman...Bill Clinton? It just was not Monica if you remember..There was Jennifer Flowers, and a couple of others, did not slow him down at all. I liked Caine. He was no politican. He had an idea for reforming taxes. Wether that idea was perfect I do not know, but it could of been debated upon, changed if need be, in to SOMETHING better than we have now.

I am no big Repub these days. But absolutely no fan of the current administration.

They also crucified Sarah Palin. I did not get that one. They went after her with everything in the arsenal. As Gov. of Alaska, she went after coruption, and did a good job. Not such a bad thing. Of course she is not running...

The rest of them? eh, better than Obama I guess.

Problem for her ( Palin ) was she went after corruption, cant have a none corrupt politician in office it wouldn't be natural. Corruption is just as rampant with the Libs as with the Repub's. Think its funny how the Libs were all over the Catholic church for child molesters but now that its out that there colleges and there backers in Hollywood like the little kids to, there silent. huh, double standard much?

Isn't it amazing how these candidates all-of-sudden become staunch pro-gun candidates during campaigns. I remember all the dancing that Schumer did when he came up with his childhood hunting stories out of the blue. And yet he never saw a piece of gun control legislation that he didn't love. They all lie, but they can't run away from their voting record if they have one.

[Doewhacker]

I would like to choose "No confidence", I vote for no one, they all suck.

Santorum is out there to get his name out there for next time or the time after, thats all. Newt's ok, Paul is far to extreem for his own party, Romney will probly get the nod in the end.

[nyantler]

I like Newt... don't really care about his personal past or what others say about him.. I listen to him talk and he is the most educated of the bunch when it comes to government..and is the only candidate that ever actually got something accomplished in Washington.. as Speaker... he balanced the budget 4 years in a row... the only time in the last 50+ years that has been done... if you get a chance you should read his "Contract for America"... some of its policies and tax cuts are still in place today and led to the countries surplus in the late 90's... one being the Welfare Reform Act that he finally got Clinton to sign after he had vetoed it twice... No candidate will be the "end all, be all" but he is the only one of the candidates that ever had any success making actual positve changes in government that still exist today... he will make Obama look like a rank amateur in a policy debate and unearth his incompetence as a leader. Just my peronal take on things.
