Re: ALLEGHENY COUNTY-SHERIFF BILL MULLEN
I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion here, but that never stopped this Pinko before.
I voted for Mullen. Why? First, I'm not a single issue voter, never have been, never will be. Are my 2nd amendment rights important? You bet. The only qualification I have for my Sheriff, not a chance.
When I look at the Sheriff's responsibilities, I count 8 major areas of responsibility, of which firearms is one. I want someone who I know can handle the other seven.
I also personally questioned the motives of a "successful" attorney seeking an elected position that pays a giant $64k, at the "prime" of his career. 64k is a very respectable salary, but for an attorney? Admitedly money isn't the sole driver of people, but it is for many.
Also as stated above Kress did nothing to court PA firearm owners, a potentially very motivated constituency. Why is that?
Finally, as I've stated previously in another post, law enforcement experience was a very important factor in who I cast my vote for. Although many of the Sheriff's duties may be administrative, he is still a law enforcement officer leading and guiding other law enforcement officers. I'd rather have someone in the position with some experience to backup the badge.
Just another gun-toting liberal
"According to the General Social Science Survey, about 30% of people who describe themselves as Liberal own a handgun. That works out to about 8 million gun toting Liberals, and doesn't even include moderates or long-gun owning Liberals."

Re: ALLEGHENY COUNTY-SHERIFF BILL MULLEN
dont take this out of context. Because I see that argument start easily on these online forums. But I would put 2A right in two of those catagories by including it in with crime prevention.
I do see your point on the rest. I just politely disagree with your desision. But thats the great thing about our system. We dont have to agree, and neither of us needs to be RIGHT in some sort of ultimate and definate way. We can have differences of opinion so long as we both respect the others right to a voice.
I think of the liberals still crying over G.W.B. with that "stole the election" crap and the conservatives still crying beacuse it was so damn unfair that Ross Perot "stole" so much of the republican vote that Clinton got into office. Like it was such an awful shame that some people had a canadate to vote for that they actually believed in that their guy didnt "win" the contest.

Re: ALLEGHENY COUNTY-SHERIFF BILL MULLEN
My thing is this, my ONLY interaction with the Sheriff's department is the firearms office, so that is what I take into account when voting for that office. So if the 1 thing I care about that Mullen has to do has been sooooo screwed up since he is in office, he gets no vote from me.
