Iowa Caucus

[muggsy]

The two republican front runners to emerge from the Iowa Caucus are Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. Romney supported Clinton's Assault Weapons ban and the ban on high capacity magazines. Rick Santorum has always been a strong supporter of our 2nd Amendment right. There is a choice to be made here.

I will support whomever wins the Repub. nomination. However, To me, Romney is more moderate (like McCain), and could cave in on gun control issues. I'd like a real conservative like Bachmann or Santorum.

[kahrseye]

I like Santorum and I think if he starts to get some momentum he could win the nomination.

[Bawanna]

I don't care at all about the nomination. I just want a new occupant in the White House. They need to pick one and everyone get behind him or we're doomed.

I would like one who doesn't cave on what types and the looks of the weapons we "are allowed to own". I really get tired of politicians who "used to go duck hunting with their dads" and talk about the "sporting" purposes of firearms. The Second Amendment is about self-defense, not hunting or target shooting.
I'm not really sure about Newt's ideas on the subject and I know that wishy-washy Romney would be for some kind of gun control and limits on types and looks of weapons.

I think we're about 10-15 years past hope and change, the last couple have really rushed the progression downward however.

All we can do now is hang on for a very bumpy ride, the only difference in candidates at this point is how bumpy it will be.

[JFootin]

Well, it looks like the Iowa voters, the talking heads and even Fox News are writing the best choice off: Newt Gingrich. He is the only one, I believe, who has the right ideas, the actual experience and the will to really tackle the problems and save the country. But alas, I just don't think there is enough intelligence in the voting public to recognise this, nominate and elect him.

[KMA]

I hope Santorum wins the nomination.

I hope Obama loses the re-election and prefer someone other than Romney.

[wyntrout]

So far, Santorum's becoming my choice, too. My wife is convinced that she wants to vote for Newt, but we'll see. We have our absentee ballots for the Republican Primary here already, but I'll wait and see if I can persuade her towards my choice... when I'm convinced.
