Bill Gunter who are you?

Bill Gunter’s campaign has now reached the realm of pure comedy.  To start the campaign we received mailers from Melbourne Florida  demanding we vote for him to protect the second amendment and stand your ground  law which would some how be in jeopardy  with Amanda. Now we get a mailer not from Melbourne Florida where all his other infamous mail has originated under Citizens for Fairness,  but from Coral Gables Florida where it appears Citizen Action has taken over the flow of Gunter’s mailers.   This new one states the exact opposite of his original stand and what he accused Amanda of threatening . I guess this piece  is supposed to fool Liberals into believing that this mailer is from the left.  It states “Amanda Murphy stands with Republicans, NOT US (not us underlined) when she supports the controversial Stand Your Ground Law and states “I sleep with my gun”. “Amanda Murphy sounds too much like a Republican to earn our support“.  That would be the support of  Citizen Action, Inc a Republican group from Coral  Gables, Fl. In favor of , guess who, Bill Gunter.

Now Bill Gunter let us just tell you that this probably  will have the opposite effect you were looking for because many Democrats have guns and many sleep with their guns close by and have no false fear of  anybody coming to take their guns.  Like must sensible gun owners Liberals support the second amendment and ownership of guns but would like to see background checks when purchasing a gun and stand your ground law is fine as long as it is applied properly .  So what you have done is let the Right know the truth for once on this gun control issue , Liberals have guns and Liberals are going to keep their guns and support the 2nd amendment and stand your ground law will remain in tact with or without Amanda.  You have encouraged the right , the Republicans to vote for the person who supports those  particular value and in no way comprised her support with Democrats because Amanda openly voiced her stand long before the campaign without losing support.  This is comical  you are now encouraging Republicans to support Amanda Murphy because she is one  of them and not one of us .  

So the question of the day for us and evidently for you to Bill Gunter, who are you ?  Are you one of them or are you one of us and which is the them and which is the us in your world?  Ask somebody quick Bill election day is closing in and nobody including you knows where you stand on issues as a them or us.
