“Deciding whom to support for the nation's highest elected office should include consideration of other issues [than gun rights]. But it does say something about the sorry state of Republican candidates when Mitt Romney can claim conservative credentials with a straight face.”
Ed Cognoski responds:It's ironic that Mitt Romney, trying to curry favor with conservatives, managed to offend almost everyone. Conservatives, because he exaggerated his hunting experience, his gun ownership, his NRA membership. And liberals, because he disowns his own past support for gun control laws. Gov Romney's fibbing cost him liberal support without earning him any credit from the conservatives.
