THIS IS HOW YOU WIN ELECTIONS?

Yeah, I'll vote for the candidate wielding firearms and combat gear to show how much he'll 'fight' to repeal 'Obamacare.' Let your freedom flag fly, I guess. With all the looney bins out there, is this the right way to effectively position yourself politically? On the right, common sense has a way of looking pretty uncommon. **update: I have much respect for the armed forces that protect our freedom. I just think it can be conveyed more tactfully a la John McCain.
