Fred’s Out

For too long the GOP has taken the gun vote for granted.

After all, they say, who else will be vote for… Democrats?

Well, now that they’ve chased Fred (no support from HQ), I’ve had it.

This year, the entire gun culture needs to vote third party. I don’t care which third party, either. Vote Paul, vote Kuchinich, vote Reform, vote Libertarian, vote Green, vote Cylon, vote Scientologist.

Just don’t vote mainstream.

If the GOP sees we actually have the intestinal fortitude to vote third party, they might rethink their ways come 2010.

Before you tell me it’s a wasted vote, I want you to tell me how voting for McCain, Huck, Mitt, Rudy, Hilary, Obama, or Edwards is NOT A WASTED VOTE.

Gunowners are screwed no matter who wins.

So, let’s put our votes to good use and vote third party. We’re gonna get saddled with an anti-gun liberal no matter who wins, so we might as well use our vote to send a message for 2010.

I agree. I’ve been considering a write in vote for Thompson.

God I’m depressed.

Bleah. Neither John nor Mitt nor Huck will get my vote. Fred was the Least-Bad Choice.

Get more practice, everyone. We’re gonna need it.

…and let’s not forget redundancy: I have two No4 Enfields, plus complete spares, including two barrels.

Thanks to the previous poster, I also have a Mauser pattern Vz24, which is being augmented with an almost-new Yugo M24/47, and soon a G42(t), which is the Vz made under German occupation.

Anything you’re going to rely on should have a complete set of spare parts. And lots of ammo.

I could live with McCain or Romney, as much as I’d prefer not to. Consider it a rearguard action: the longer the GOP holds power, the longer we have to enjoy our guns (not to mention social issues, which are paramount for me). Besides, who knows? Maybe we can get Fred in ‘12.
