President Bush would also be wise not to say anything else in support of extending the assault weapons ban. If that law is not allowed to sunset, conservatives will be very upset in November. President Bush doesn't need the votes of those people who may or may not vote for him if the ban passes, but he cannot afford to lose the votes of those who will be angry with him if the ban passes.

If he tries to be all things to all people to win 55% of the vote, he may end up losing the election. If he maintains his base and adds the votes of those who fairly understand that he is doing a good job in attacking the terrorists, he will almost certainly win with 51% or 52% of the vote and have a real mandate for true conservative change.

Well, four and a half

Never in my memory have the Democrats been so blindly angered by a president.

Not even the Repub anger over Clinton compares to it.

They have this stolen election issue that they are using to energize people who have no clue as to what went on.

It is going to be a rough few months.

I expect that Bush will handle it, but he may lose patience.(I know that I would) We shall see.

The Assault Rifle Ban renewal will NEVER get out of Congress. We already heard that from the Republicans in the House, so why are you still keep harping on this?

51 or 52% is not a mandate!
