Some here are dreaming if you think President G.W. Bush will suddenly take a firm line;he has been falling all over himself accomadating the DEmocrats just since the election.And how many laws has he vetoed? Didn't he promise to sign more gun control if Congres sent it to him?
Only the principled stand of some REpublican congresmen made the sunset omn the AWB and the liberal gun-haters on both sides will try to bring it back.Think Bush will suddenly discover his veto?
The REpublicans need to make principled stands and fight FOR something;pointing out the other party's faults isn't enough to make people vote for you.
"The Republicans need to make principled stands and fight FOR something; pointing out the other party's faults isn't enough to make people vote for you."
Good thought and generally the way of the Marquis of Queensbury Republicans, but EXACTLY that less-than-ideal tactic worked perfectly for the Democrats with the help of the MSM.
