I found an interesting editorial this morning that I wanted to share. As is usual, it points out the fact that campaign rhetoric generally amounts to nothing more than hot air.

And to think, these folks rant against “global warming”!

The Democrats and Gun Control is the title of this editorial and it starts like this:

Imagine an election race of Pat Robertson versus James Dobson, each of them appearing at organic grocery stores and Starbucks throughout Massachusetts, with each candidate insisting that he alone deserves the vote of gay-marriage advocates. An equally silly spectacle is taking place these days in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Indiana, West Virginia and Kentucky, as Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama compete for the pro-gun vote.

This piece then goes on to highlight the voting records of these two candidates in regard to firearms and “gun control” legislation.

I’ve never been a single-issue voter and I don’t believe that selecting a representative in that way is appropriate for building or maintaining good government.

However, the stance held by a politician on this important issue certainly speaks volumes about their beliefs regarding our Constitution, the power of the federal government, and our freedom to exercise our God-given rights.

Personally, I’m getting tired of seeing liars and harlots in the White House…
