I cannot understand a strategy which is designed to fail. Gun owners and those who support the RtKaBA who employ the "defeat Bush to show THEM a lesson" strategy are apparently oblivious to the clear FACT that doing so will make things far worse in every area they are concerned with.

Look at states like California, NY, Il. where the gungrabbes are in full sway, how are the citizens there better off for not electing politicians who are not TOTALLY in agreement with the 2d amendment fans' beliefs but rather those who are TOTALLY against those beliefs? Yet, you are arguing that we will be better off if this happens on the federal level? This does not compute.

"This does not compute."

It does not compute that behavior will change if that behavior does not receive a penalty.

Neither can I, but of course I'm referring to Rove and Bush, not the RKBA "Whackos". If George wants to write off a chunk of his support, I guess someone did the math and figures that's the politically smart move.

We loud-mouthed "Whackos" have long been warning about what would happen. That doesn't mean we WANT it to happen, but there is a morbid fascination in observing how these warnings go unheeded. To use an analogy, it's as if the Titanic were sailing along at one-quarter speed, in broad daylight, with perfect visibility, and the lookouts spotted the iceberg while it was still miles away. They communicated their findings to the bridge personally, even handing the captain a pair of binoculars and pointing out the looming danger. Yet somehow with miles of open, navigable waters ahead in which to avoid the hazard, the captain *still* manages to hit the iceberg dead center.

History is replete with examples of what might happen if warnings (and even plain old common sense) are ignored.
