Democrats TRY to Shake Anti-Gun Image

HELENA, Mont. (AP) – Montana Democratic Party Chairman Bob Ream grew up in a home with a grandmother who shot skeet with Annie Oakley. As far back as he can recall, hunting was a family tradition, and just about everyone knew how to shoot.

*****Big FAT HAIRY DEAL!*******

So it makes sense that Ream is among party loyalists leading efforts to shake off the national party’s anti-gun image.

*******
You can TRY all you want but you STILL smell of communist Propaganda. try washing yourselves of folks like Schumer, Clintons, Kennedys, Fiensteins, Boxers, McCarthys, Renos et al..
*********

At trade shows, in brochures and even in door-to-door visits by candidates in the 2002 election, the Montana Democratic Party is doing what some state
parties say must be done to repair the damage resulting from the national party’s position in the 2000 election advocating tougher federal gun rules.

*****Hey how about ya helpin us return some our right to defend ourselves back to us********

“In the rural areas, we’ve gotten targeted with the image that we’re going to take people’s guns away, which is false,” Ream said. “It’s been foisted on us
by the NRA (National Rifle Association) and by the Republicans …

*****No this was foisted upon you by the above mention socialist who have joined the DNC ….. hey straight from the horses mouth to your ears, baby……. ********

We’re going to get clobbered if we don’t improve our image.”

***** Hopefully you’ll get CLOBBERED anyway…. The damage has been done!******

The national party in 2000 supported mandatory child safety locks for guns,photo identification for future handgun purchases, full background checks and a mandatory gun safety test for new handgun purchases.

The Democratic National Committee (news – web sites) acknowledges the GOP was particularly effective in the last election at branding the party anti-gun,

***** Wrroooonnnngg AGAIN, folks, GOP did NOTHING to keep you from winning, you did it to your selves….. Typical opf the Demorats – NEVER want to take responsibility for their actions , always trying to blame some one or SOMETHING else!*****

andsome Democrats believe the national party and Al Gore (news – web sites) should have done more to combat that.

******DREAM ON ******

Jennifer Palmieri, press secretary for the DNC, said the national party is encouraging state parties to follow Montana’s lead in trying to reshape voters’
views.

*****Reshape voter’s view???????? LOL! Jeeeeezzzzz , don’t cha mean FOOL voters whom you think/hope are as stupid as you want them to be?????????******

The chore belongs at the state level where party officials have morecredibility, Palmieri said.

Bill Farmer, chairman of the Tennessee Democratic Party, is convinced Gore lost his home state in 2000 because he did not effectively shake off the GOP’s anti-gun label.

****** yeah , that’s kinda hard to do when you always want to INFRINGE on our creator given constitutionally guarded basic fundamental human RIGHT to defend our lives , property AND LIBERTY , UNINFRINGED!*********

“They’ve painted us a being anti-gun, which is a blatant lie,” he said.

****** BULL****!******** You can thank the above mentioned socialist for the “label” ***********

“Responsible gun owners are Democrats and Democrats believe in the right to be responsible gun owners.

***Responsibilty comes through/With/by EDUCATION, NOT legislation!**********

Republicans and gun rights groups insist Democrats deserve the anti-gun brand.

*****Damn Straight! They’ve earned it!*****

Ken Miller, chairman of the Montana GOP, recalled Sen. MaxBaucus (news), D-Mont., supported the federal law requiring background checks and a five-day
waiting period for gun buyers after promising he would not vote for gun control. Democrats, not Republicans, have proposed tougher restrictions on guns, and organizations wanting more controls typically back Democratic candidates, he said.

****Point Proved! democrats EARNED the title ANTI GUN!***

“It’s hard for a leopard to get rid of its spots,” Miller said. “They will probably do themselves harm. Any time you try to be something you’re not,people will see through it.”

***** I certainly HOPE voters , esp gun owners are ssmart enuff to see through the DemoRATS continuous lies and trickery and attempted brainwashings..*****

Guns always have been a part of life in Montana. One in five Montanans hunt -some for sport, some to put food on the table. To many farmers and ranchers,
the gun remains an essential tool. For others, firearms symbolize freedom and independence.

***** “SYMBOLIZE FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE” —- Y’know, I would HOPE and PRAY that ALL freedom loving Americans (not just gunowners) would see the LATER reason for our RKBA / Second Amendmemt cause that’s sure as hell what our founding fathers faught and died for along with millions of other American men and women!*********

Democrats are trying to make sure voters know they too understand the gun’s importance to so many in the state.

***** Yeah RIGHT, “hunting and sports shooting”, uh huh! RIIIIGHT! *********

Lou Kalberg, 47, a Democrat, avid hunter and gun owner from Helena, said he found himself frequently defending his party to fellow hunters during the 2000 election.

**** Screw the ones who own those ugly black awful “assault weapons” (Semi autos rifles) , “sniper rifles” (scoped hunting rifles) and “cheap saturday night specials” (handguns that the poor used for self defense)******8

“They’d say ‘If Al Gore gets elected, the Democrats are going to try to take my guns,’” Kalberg said. “I think what scared them is this very effective campaign of lumping all the Democrats together as anti-gun. … People were very paranoid about that.”

Paranoia is only when you THINK they don’t want your guns.
If you aint anti gun get the hell outa the DNC party like a few “smart” democrats have done…… or kick the above mention socialist OUT!

The Democrats have to counter that with their own campaign, he said.
Paul Clark, a Democratic state representative whose conservative district in
western Montana is home to the Militia of Montana, said his political life depends on his support for gun rights.

******* See note above, Mr Clark. Stop supporting Gun Control and start supporting the REAL reason for the Second Amendment and that “D” behind your initial wouldn’t matter except that too many “D” are actually “S”‘s ********

“The people around here love their freedom,” he said.

******You Got THAT right!*********

“They still perceive the state as a wild place. Who wants to deal with gun control when you have to deal with wolves?”

***********
Wolves? hey I like that
Time to leave the SHEEPLE and join us wolves
ARF arf aruuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
***************

Montana Democrats have added the right to bear arms to their party platform and jump at the chance to stress the party’s conviction to maintaining hunter and sportsmen’s rights.

*******
uh one more time….. READ MY LIPS! IT AINT ABOUT HUNTING AND SPORTS SHOOTING! Helllllllooooooo ! HEEEEEY You GUUUUYS! The Second AMendment AINT about hunting and sports shooting

Their definition of the RKBA … you can keep guns as long as we can REGULATE them.. we promise we won’t confiscate them after we register them…… we just want to keep them outa the wrong hands…..************ ***********

Ream said the party created a roundtable of volunteers to map a party strategyon guns, and Ream heads what he calls an informal committee of about 20 members of the Democratic National Committee working on ways to improve the party’s image on firearms.

Democrats hope those efforts help the party make some inroads in the mostly
conservative state. Republicans have held the governor’s office and controlled the Legislature since 1995. And voters have supported Democrats for president only twice in the past 55 years.

******And They wander why? Whose the dummy’s ********

Ream said the perception of Democrats as anti-gun has taken its toll and sparks enough emotion to decide close races in favor of GOP candidates.

********* and that’s WHOSE fault?**********

Craig Wilson, who runs the political science department at Montana State University-Billings, said emotion surrounding firearms can dictate the outcome of races, especially in the West.

“Our cowboy heritage leads to gun control being a big enough issue to affect the way a person votes,” he said.

***** Our “cowboy heritage” is a WAY of LIFE! It’s called FREEDOM and INDEPENDENCE!**********
