Just another RATmedia manipulation of the brainless knee-jerkers who pretend they are conservatives

Perhaps. The way I see it, if Bush totally abandons his core support, then he is not much better than the RAT-bastards who are running against him (and against America). If the AW ban is renewed or strenghthened, then I fear that it will only be a matter of time before the Republic is truly destroyed from within. Its about half way there now. The only difference between the two main parties will be the speed at which they are taking the Republic over the cliff and down into the pit of total socialism. No longer will the Repubos be able to fool the conservative core into believing that they are really different than the socialist-RATs; the facade will have been removed. The sunsetting (or not) of the ban will be a watershed moment for me. The President and the Repubos will have to make a choice.

While Bush may be re-elected by a wide margin and therefore will not need to rely on the conservative core, the question he has to ask himself is, "Do I feel Lucky?" I wonder what kind of a poker player the Pres. is?

Good analysis, hard for your enemies to $crew you, but friends, well that is another matter entirely, isn't it?

True conservatives understand there is no chance of electing a more conservative president than Bush and they understand that the AW ban is essentially irrelevent to anything. Our nation and its liberties existed for almost 150 yrs before "Assault" weapons were even invented. Such things were never even imagined by our founders.

I am an NRA member who believes prohibition of such weapons is not a reason to refuse to back a good man doing his best to preserve our nation in its deadly fight against an enemy as evil as it has ever faced. Those who turn away from him are neither conservatives nor patriots rather they are such as one would not want as an ally because they will cut and run at the least excuse.

You are either with the President or doing the work of the RATmedia. The choice is yours.
