One question - how does any politician know who "actually voted for them" - if they do they most certainly have violated almost all of my rights!!
Unfortunately my impression and experience indicates that basically 99% of all politicians tend to vote the "party line" most of the time, unless it is known that they are voting for something that will prevent them from being re-elected.
Yes, I am a very conservative voter. My opinion was just reinforced by Todd Rokita's vote in the Senate regarding the "Universal background check". While he was outspoken in defense of the 2nd, his vote was 180 degree away!
It is quite well known and publicized that the Democratic party believes in and supports "Gun Control" - meaning they believe that no one but the Government, Police and Military should possess firearms! The flip-flop vote like Rokita's has happened so many times that I refuse to vote for any Democratic candidate ever! I do and have voted in every election for the last 50 years (may have missed once - but not in the last 40 years).
The other issue regarding the Presidential position is that they appoint the Supreme court justices. Guess how much credence the Liberal judges they appoint give the constitution? The Liberals have already said the constitution is a "living document" and should be interpreted or changed as they believe is fit for today's environment. Therefore I could never vote for a Democrat even if the other contender was a blithering idiot!
My sons also vote and in my opinion (and theirs) the one thing that is paramount is that the 2nd amendment be not restricted in any manner. Any other issue can be changed but when the populace is disarmed we then have no recourse - as History has proven!
Democrats writing gun laws is about as misguided as Republicans writing laws that affect "lady parts".
Ya Right...That's not even in the same ballpark. The Kansas legislation is a good start but doesn't go far enough. If you think that trying to prevent the murder of the most innocent of us all equates somehow to the Dems trying to disarm the American people......Give me a break.

What "lady parts"? Do you mean a "baby"?. Looks like your thought process ,logic and here comes the scary word, belief system, is just as confused as the democrats you speak of.
You're both absolutely incorrect. The laws he is talking about do not only cover abortion but also accessibility to contraception and other female specific medical care. Beyond that, I remember male lawmakers who tried to silence a female legislator for using the word "vagina".
People who are disturbed by medical terminology, specifically when they don't even own the parts being discussed, shouldn't be allowed to make laws about them. Laws requiring trans-vaginal ultrasounds? That is an extremely invasive procedure. Not a problem, the guys who made the law don't have to worry about it.
Remember Todd Akin's legitimate rape? His comments about how the body can "shut that whole thing down" is just as ****ing ignorant and stupid as Carolyn McCarthy thinking a barrel shroud is the shoulder thing that goes up.
If you are unable to speak intelligently on a topic, you should not be allowed to make the rules that govern others. There is zero difference between the anti-gun crowd and the anti-abortion crowd. Both groups know precisely dick about what they're talking about. Interestingly enough, each group claims a moral superiority and believes themselves to be above that other scum.
It's stupid and it's exactly the reason we have such a sad excuse for political discourse in this country. You want to know why politics has become such a cluster****? I'm sure the refusal to listen to the other side and the copious amounts of sarcasm people are trying to pass for intelligent discussion are probably contributing factors.
