If GWB signs an extension of the Assualt Weapons Ban then he will not be re-elected. Already he has lost a lot of support because of the economy and teh extension of Clinton trade policies under his administration. This would cost him dearly among many of his most ardent supporters in teh last election and gain him nothing among the so called middle of the road voters who will be voting for the Democrat anyway.

I will not support GWB if he signs such an extension and I am certain I represent a whole lot more people who feel the same way and it will be a close election.

I just hope to Hell he and his advisors realize this. At this point, we CANNOT afford what the Dims will do, either to our security OR our rights.

If the republican congress resurrects this, it will not bode well for them either.

This needed to be said a little louder.

I agree with you but I will even go a step further in saying that the political calculation Rove - if it was his idea - or Bush is a huge mistake in that I will not help him even now, a full 11 months before the ban comes up for renewal. I will not put my time, effort, and reputation into promoting him now and have to reverse myself later. His pronoucement will cost him early money and early support.
