I was referring to Giulianis stance on guns. From what I read about him he was not gun friendly when he was mayor of NYC.

As far as McCain is concerned his viewpoint won't make a whole lot of difference as President. He could veto something but he wouldn't be casting a vote one way or the other.

Sarah Palin is another story, She could be called upon if there is a tie vote on a Bill.

Best wishes, Bill

P.S. Talk about being tough to get a Security clearance you should have been me.

I was the first of my family to be born in the U.S.A. There was some relatives here to sponsor my Mom and Dad who had gained citizenship.

Other than that nada. I had to get a TS when I was in Germany because I was the 36TFW Explosive Safety Technician along with being the Nuclear Safety Tech.

I was responsible for Detachments in Belgium, The Netherlands, Turkey and Italy also. Plus my home base was a Wing of F-4E's.

I sweated Blood and Bullets till that clearance got back. I already had 17 years in the military at that time so that helped and had a previous Secret Clearance.

Well I am done with anything and anybody connected with Bush and that goes for Dem. and Rep. It costs me more to drive to work then I make and heating bills will be out of this world this winter.
I liked the old man but this kid is a wreck ! Both sides can blow all the smoke up our butts about health reform and energy and when they get it its the same old junk.
I may just stay home this election and ***** lol

Well if you stay home, you aren't doing anything to solve the problems. If you will remember, its been the Democrats in Power for the last two years in Washington and its while they have been in power that gas prices doubled. Its been while THEY have been in power that food, cereals and milk prices have doubled.

It is not just the Dems. its the whole darn works. I realize this is a Republican site and party line is Not what I am talking about. I have never voted a straight ticket in my life and to do so is foolish in my book.
I don't think I would vote for ANY of the incumbants in the House or Senate right now and I could care less what party they are.
I also don't care if the lady can ride a Harley, kill moose with a stick or any of her family problems. I will be looking at what each one of them is going to do about health care, energy issues and the things that effect me.

What do YOU want out of Health Care Nulle? I pay over $8,400 a year for me and my wife right now and what Obama is proposing scares teh **** out of me... his givaway healthcare is going to cost me a fortune, and is going to cost you the service you think you want. Government can't run anything.

Gas? That is a Democratic problem... they've in control and outof control for the last two years and you want to sit this one out? You sit it out Nulle and you've no basis for complaint... as for being a republican site... don't know how you came to that conclusion, but most of us want to retain our freedoms, and republicans push our freedoms in the outdoors... does that make this place a republican site... no it doesn't it makes us all wanting to remain able to hunt, fish and shoot into the future for our great grand-kids...

Aloha...

I think most people on here have long ago drunk the Kool Aid, of whatever flavor.
I think these discussions provide a lot of heat, but very little light.
The name of this bulletin board is HuntChat, is it not? Or is it politics chat?

The name of the board truly is Hunt Chat, But the topic is Almost Anything Goes.

Could be Ice Skating, Hunting, or Intermediate Underwater Basket Weaving.

The topics surely wont shed any light if they are not allowed to be discussed.

I hadn't realized I had moved to Stalin era Russia. After spending 27 years of my life defending my country I feel I have a right to say what I want as long as it is cogent with and not speaking against my country.

Now if things get down to the "your mother wears gym shoes" rhetoric, even I draw the line.

Best wishes, Bill

I'm not like Nulle

Or anybody else I guess. I am a kinda strict libertarian. To be really honest I'd like to have a viable candidate other than the two running. Since I don't, I'll hold my nose a bit and vote for McCain. No way I can vote for a man that depises his own country...as does his wife If you all want affordable health care..let me ask a question. When has the government EVER done something (other than govern) better than the private sector? Never you say?? If you say that you are correct. Check out health care in ...say Canada. Better?? Don't think so! What we need to do is get government out of all the health issue. So many regulations to make thiings "better" for us just makes for more expensive more restrictive health care for us. Regulation in health issues works the same way as regulation in guns. More paper work more costs and more government intervention. All the regulations required by OUR government is stifling the doctors in their offices as is all the medical litigation. Sheesh. if a doctor wants to deliver babies anymore they BETTER have lots of insurance....and a whole bunch of people working in their office. Makes costs rise..precipitously. Not blaming lawyers per se..but people just have to blame someone other than themselves for the unfortunate things that happen. Yep...doctors screw up but don't we all?? Don't politicians??..oh sorry..most of them are lawyers

The Obama Healthcare Plan

Managed by the Government, they say they'll give you care
But really what'll happen is your butts exposed and bare
They say they'll give you healtcare, but stand in line and wait
They talk a pretty story, and hope you'll take the bait
