BobCasey MUST have cheated to get an "A"

[Archiver]

I stumbled upon this Casey quote while researching candidates.(at http://lehighvalleyramblings.blogspo.../state%20house)
The Dems labeled Casey ProGun and the NRA gave him an A rating....however....doesnt this sound like Rendell,Kennedy or the rest of the Brady Bunch?

"Blue Collar" Casey (aka "Turncoat Casey" or is Janus the two faced Roman God more appropriate?) is speaking about the Amish shooting last October 2006...


"I agree that gun laws had nothing to do with it. Because there is no law that would question why a man would suddenly purchase a small arsenal and 600 rounds of ammunition. There is no law requiring that he receive training and prove himself competent, capable, and responsible to be allowed to handle a firearm. There is no law, reasonable as it would be, limiting firearm purchases to one a month, or even one a year. There is no law following this simple reasoning, because powerful lobbyists and their money stand against it."


Or perhaps the PA Constitution stands against it???

I'm really sorry to say this but any that is surprised by this must be a complete moron.

But at least some can be happy now that Santorum was defeated women are again free to have abortions and the secret religious police are no longer dragging our asses to church on Sunday mornings.

Nice to be free again

The dems got in because of the hatred of GW Bush. Simple as that. People were stupid to vote dem. now we have the dems thinking everyone loves them and they have a dem mandate on everything. This is going to be around for awhile.


By the way Assault weapons ban introduced on the national level.

He got an "A" because regardless of what he says, he votes pro-gun. I don't give a damn what he says to get in good with the antis or the Democrats on gun control. So long as he votes pro-gun when the chips are down, I don't give a shit how he grandstands.

And he got elected because people hated Santorum. Hell, even "I" voted for him, and I'm so far right I make Santorum look like Clinton.

ROFLMAO!

I just did some research into the quote. It wasn't Bob Casey -- it was Chris Casey, some nobody running for Pa. state representative.

Rollover the quote with your mouse -- it's from Chris Casey. He was running against Rep. Doug Reichley.

I don't think the NRA even knows he exists, given that Chris Casey has no prior history of political office.

No cookie or pat on the head for you, Archiver.

Secret religious police? Where? Nobody dragging me off to church Sunday monings. Now there ARE the kooks shouting sermons in the park, but I just don't go there. And if any of them DID get in my face, I've got a way to turn them red in the face and so apoplectic that they can't even speak....

I find the source quoted rather suspect. Anyhow, I went to Sen. Casey's website and send him an email with a link to this thread. Below is the email I sent to the Senator"

"I read a thread on a Pa Firearms Owner forum that quoted you as making some very anti-gun statements. If true I found this surprising given your rating by the NRA and your position in the primary for governor against Rendell. The thread used a very suspect source. Anyhow, I would like to know if you in fact made these statements. Link to thread. Thank you."

Perhaps you should have read the whole thread before you sent the senator an e-mail. If you will read Rule10b5's second post you'll find that it is Chris Casey and not Bob Casey that the quote came from.

I should have indeed. But I had to reread it very carefully again to find out it was CHRIS Casey. Actually, though I am pleased to hear it was not Sen BOB Casey.

Thanks again. I send a follow up email to BOB Casey saying ignore prior correspondence, sorry for confusion, etc. And said I was happy to be represented by a strong supporter of firearm owners. I just hope he stays that way. Frankly I am concerned that some strong Democratic supporters of ours may turn, esp if Obama or hillary get the nod for the Democratic Presidental nomination. Democrat Sen. Jim Webb of Va. is another of our supporters who defeated Republican Sen Allen, also an A rated guy. I hope Senators Casey, Webb and other pro gun owner Democrats stay the course as they will be under a lot of pressure to follow a party line that will be increasingly anti gun.
