MAIG is simply someone's pet for making boomsticks illegal.... Anyway, I'm voting for Scott Walker. Smart guy, made a lot of promises in the wake of the Ament scandal and came through from what I saw. A real moderate, not really much right OR left. I like that...

These questions were posed to all candidates. All candidates were personally invited to come to the forum and answer these questions. Only 1 responded.

So to answer you question as to whether or not Walker is "Pro Gun", yes probably when it is convenient for him to capture some votes. Otherwise, he refused to come to the forum and answer the questions.

IMHO, if you really believe in something then why not step up to the plate and let it be known.

With his reaction to the invite and the fact that he never answered the questions both in and out of the forum. I would have to find him "Guilty" of being an Anti!

He isn't anti if that's what you mean. He would sign a shall issue concealed carry law. Guns aren't really my biggest issue... Not having Tom Barret is my number one concern.... He scares me. He gets elected, you can kiss any chance of reconciling the budget goodbye.

Mark Todd scares me too. WAY too far to the right. Walker tends to hang out in the middle.

Obama's more moderate history was why I voted for him. McCain had gone too far to the right in past years. He used to be my favorite Republican, but alas, he spoiled himself. And then there's Palin... Don't even get me started.

History? Has actually ever cast a vote where his standing on an issue can be measured? I think that he is far from being a moderate!

Well, he indicated himself in his past voting histories to be more moderate than he has been in office. Turns out he's farther left than I originally anticipated.

Well, he indicated himself in his past voting histories to be even morecommunist and anti-rightsthat he hasindicated before he wasin office. Turns out he's communist than I originally anticipated.

^^^ Fixed it for you^^^

I am dumbfounded that anyone who cherishes the 2A or believes that we have rights to defend ourselves against criminals would ever vote for this lying communist.

Past voting histories??????? Did you even research his past voting history?

Wow doug, The bitter cold got feeling a little mean this morning?

If his IQ was equal to the temperature here right now, it would have a minus sign in front of it!! Damn it is cold out!! The pooches didn't even want to stay out for longer than needed.

Let me put it this way: I am not a one issue voter. I am what I am. There are bigger issues to me than guns, like campaign reform, health care, getting the hell out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Doug, kiss my ass. You're bitter that you are old and decrepit and your message isn't being heard by people with an IQ more than one. Go take your Cialis and stick it in an electrical socket.

Yeah, there is an understatement. To be fair, you took his word for it. His voting history is anything but moderate. He is not at all a moderate and like the others, I can't believe anyone who is truly pro-gun would vote for Obama.

Maybe you aren't a one issue voter. Either am I, but I fail to see any issue Obama is right on.

Obama is the most radical, ultra left wing president this country has ever seen, by far. Many of us saw it before the election so nothing he is doing now is surprising. Those of you who didn't see it, didn't look. Maybe that should be a warning to you on the other issues you like about him.

don't feel too bad doug. i still love ya. anyway, man it would have been sweet if that thune thing would have went through, and democracy would have been rammed down wisconsin's throat huh? so have we settled yet on who were backing for gov. ? as for barret, he could always give up his political asprirations, and do like doyle is going to, i bet, when he gets out of office; get a job working for the casinos.

Congress makes the laws. We have the best congress the oil industry, drug industry, insurance industry and banking industry can buy.
