I read somewhere that Democrats calculated in 1994 that fully half of the 54 seats they lost were directly related to the assault weapons ban - they polled that they would not have lost half of those seats, and control of the House, if it were not for that one issue.
I will be surprise if they bring this up before the 2010 elections.
That said, elections matter. The last 2 election cycles have embolden the Marxists and is coaxing their agenda from the shadows. The more these people feel their oats, the more 2010 will matter.
Conservative ideas are better for America. There’s a REASON why these people shun accurately descriptive terms like liberal and socialist and run as “moderates” and “independents”.
The blowback on these people is going to be huge. 40 seats to change the House.
1. . . 2 . . . 3 . . . 4 . . . 5. . .
That's all well and good but the Republicans had better choose their candidates wisely, No more mealy mouthed and parsed lawyer talk that leads people to think one thing when they mean something else. As Franklin warned us putting power and the ability to garner huge amounts of money in elected position draws the worst sots of people who will crush good people in the most unseemly ways to get those positions.
Bill Clinton said the one thing he regretted was the assault weapon ban. It cost his the house and the Senate. I don’t think the Marxists in there now give a sh*t. They have got to get the guns to complete the coup. They figure with the census, illegals and ACORN they will make sure that doesn’t happen to them in 2010 or 2012.
