To: George W. Bush
By campaigning for it in 2000. By pledging to sign it if Boxer and the Dims could pass it.

I think he said ,"IF it crosses my desk,I'll sign it. Hardly a ringing endorsement for the AWB,and,frankly,it was a very subtle way of dodging overwhelming bad press and kept the militia idiots off the front page as well. Secondly,we had some idiots on this forum bragging about knocking out a couple of Senators, notably Slade Gorton of Washington,who was pro 2a.We got Maria Cantwell instead. Yep, voting third party or staying home sure was a positive thing to do, huh? Meanwhile,Delay held the line as he was expected to do,and that worked well. I'd be willing to bet that AWB won't be crossing his desk,either . However, if enough whiners decide to stand on "principle",maybe it will cross the next Democrat's desk. He, the principled can wallow in their righteousness though, so that will be the upside. It'll really teach us all a lesson.

Outside of that,a lovely day, wasn't it?

Ok. Promising to renew truly bad and stupid and ineffective (and unconstitutional) legislation as a political tactic is a Good Thing. Dumb ol' moi.

Your next statement about how FReepers were knocking off Senators sounds loony. I'll admit, I didn't find the Slade threads interesting and didn't read them regularly. But I don't recall anything that could be credibly described as 'bragging about knocking [him or others] out'.

But you apparently think that Bush is reading FR. You are aware that I'm not that George W. Bush, aren't you? Oh, and the other one doesn't come here under a false name either.
