Johnson just lost my vote with his Anti 2A VP choice

[Kirk Freeman]

This is rich.

So, INGO: are we going to write in Ron Paul? "Bacon?" Leonard Peltier?

So confused.

Nothing is official yet. Wait and see.

(Metaphorical) Safeties on and sling 'em.

How about Barry Goldwater or maybe Thomas Jefferson?

Jefferson would never win an election today.

 

[T.Lex]

Jefferson would never win an election today.

Neither would Goldwater.

Wait.

Never mind.

 

[Jludo]

Jefferson would never win an election today.

He had wacky ideas, clearly unelectable.

Can you imagine if the press got a hold of one of those bibles of his? Haha he'd be berated into oblivion.

Or his... uh... extracurricular activities?

Would that make John Mcafee the only remaining pro-gun candidate, among all parties?

Only to those who don't listen.

Johnson and Peterson are both pro gun. At issue is Weld for VP, which is up to the party, not the candidate.

If the top of the ticket is willing to use the coercive power of government to force a Jewish deli owner to cater a Nazi event, why would picking a VP that is for common sense gun control surprise anyone?

Ahh I see. That's a bit different then

I think the American people will forgive about anything, not pretending to be a Christian isn't one of them.

. . . which means their chances are essentially equal to the presumptive nominee.

I have to confess, it took me more than a few seconds to figure out if I was in a Republican/Democrat/Libertarian thread.

That's understandable! My presence in and of itself was a confounding datum.

How does Johnson keep his alleged pro-gun credibility, when tapping a gun-grabber as his choice for VP (regardless of how the convention plays out, the fact remains that Johnson made the *choice* to tap a gun-grabber)?

 

[T.Lex]

... Johnson made the *choice* to tap a gun-grabber...

That's a visual I could've done without on this Monday afternoon.

Friday, well maybe.

Just rotate the image to a more appealing gun grabber. There are plenty which are the correct gender and much easier on the eyes.

I always get confused when you show up in a thread.

I always get confused when you show up in a thread.

It's downright disorienting!

Because Liberty, you statist!
