Wow! You convinced us.
You'd think that somebody who just joined Free Republic 2 days ago would be more careful about blowing their cover with a post like this.
Bush will win in November.
You give the DU-fus too much credit.
Only if he doesn't make the group of dedicated voters that put him in the White House mad. By that I mean the gun owners. IF Bush pushes and signs an extension of the AWB, he's toast. I'll settle for one term of President Kerry before I'll allow myself to be backstabbed by my own party at the expense of my liberty and in the name of political expedience.
The Demns snicker about the certainty of the black for because "where else are they going to go?" In exactly the same vein do the Republicans snicker about gunowners. With an extremely close race, this is one group of voters from both parties who can swing an election. I'll settle for Kerry in order to spank the 'Pubbies. Now, mind you, that's only in case that Bush signs an AWB extension.
The biggest risk of this right now is the Rider that Diane Slimestein has tacked onto the Firearm Manufacturers Protection Bill. I will not dump my right to a semi-auto in order to protect the industry. It shouldn't be an "either or" situation here.
