From Victor Bean, Owner, Southern Classic Gun and Knife Show:
Right. Nothing like straight talk.
Could I have another glass of Kool-Aid, Victor? And maybe put a little bit more saccharine in it this time?
Luke O. is none too happy, and shared his email reply with us:
As you already know, Tuesday, January 29, there is a presidential primary. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. I am a registered Republican, and I will be voting for Senator John McCain. Governor Charlie Crist has also endorsed Senator McCain.
Bill Bunting spoke personally with Senator John McCain, Governor Mitt Romney, and Governor Mike Huckabee over the weekend. As most of you know, Bill is chairman of the Republican Party of Pasco.
Senator McCain will sign on to a national right-to-carry bill if Congress brings it to his desk. As far as he is concerned, the gun show loophole is a moot point, and he will appoint judges who follow the Constitution.
Lou Oliver, Chairman of the Republican Party of Orange County, said Governor Huckabee would make a great vice president. I recently appeared on the Kathy Fountain Show (Fox News Network) in a half hour live show on presidential politics with Bill in Tampa with live call-ins. Bill is our strongest supporter when it comes to the Second Amendment whether at a gun show, on television, or in the newspapers.
I spoke to Senator McCain on his cell phone on Saturday night. He will be "humbly gratified" if we support him.

Yes, I'm sure Senator McCain is very, very sorry, he's learned his lesson and he'll never, ever even consider betraying gun owners again... at least not until his warm, close gun-grabbing, Bill-of-Rights-hating friends Joe Lieberman, Russ Feingold and Ted Kennedy ask him to.I guess Luke wasn't thirsty and has had it with gun rights compromisers who are full of...beans.
John McCain has a long history of working against both the Second and First Amendments, against conservative values and against our sovereignty and border security. I wouldn't vote for McCain, Romney, Giuliani or Huckabee if Satan himself were the Democratic nominee.
When Senators take their oath of office, they don't swear to keep us safe, they don't swear to work for this lobby or that special interest. They swear before God and man to preserve, protect and defend the CONSTITUTION! John McCain has demonstrated that he sees the Bill or Rights as a list of helpful suggestions, and nothing more. The Bible says that those who cannot be faithful in small things will not be faithful in large things. If we couldn't trust John McCain to uphold his oath as a Senator, we can't trust him to do it as a President.
There IS a committed pro-gun candidate in the race- you know damned well who I'm talking about. It's amazing to me that you and your ilk will make excuses for a faithless opportunist and chameleon like McCain and won't even consider supporting the statesman who is gun owners' best friend, the taxpayers' best friend, the Bill of Rights' best friend on Capitol Hill, bar NONE. In light of your craven endorsement of this notorious enemy of the Bill of Rights, I will never set foot in one of your shows again, and I am going to contact the area gun dealers who rent tables at your shows to inform them that as long as they do business with you, they will do without my business as well. And I will encourage every Florida gun owner I know to do the same.
