[Blood of Tyrants]

The haouse has already voted once to repeal the AW ban on a vote of 239 to 179. NOBODY except the most extreme anti-gunners want this bill to pass. The GOP knows that this is the breaking point and that the NRA WILL NOT endorse Bush if he signs the AW extension.

The GOP may be wobbly and stupid, but they aren't so stupid as to throw away the White House to appease a tiny minority of people who would never vote GOP anyway.

"The GOP may be wobbly and stupid, but they aren't so stupid as to throw away the White House to appease a tiny minority of people who would never vote GOP anyway."

Only a tiny minority wanted campaign finance reform.
They will do what they think is politically expedient to maintain power. Let the media start banging on this drum again and they'll give it up like prom queens. Again.
