If this bill is renewed, I am *done* with the Republican party.

No offense intended, but I'll believe that when I see an elephant fly.

After this law is renewed by a republican-controlled congress and senate then signed into law by a republican president, you'll wipe the dirt off your face kicked there by the republican congressman, senators and president in September 2004 when they renew this law, then you'll go into the voting booth and elect them right back into office in November.

I mean who else are you going to vote for?

The Libertarians? The doper party? Ya, right!

The Constitution Party? HoHoHo... That's a good one.

Be honest. If you couldn't vote for a republican, who would you vote for?

A DemocRAT?

Sorry to be so harsh, but if there's one thing I learned from reading the musings of all the republicans who frequent this board, there's one common trait that you all share --politics trumps principles.

Even Bob Barr has gone back to feed at the public trough.

--it has to do with something called "winning"-- there is no politician so powerless as one out of office nor any group so powerless than one with no representation in the legislative body--

Crap like this is why I oppose democracy. Pick up Bastiat's The Law sometime.

Guess what, if this law is renewed by a Republican controlled congresss, and signed into Law by a Republican controlled President, I'll vote for the Libertarians.

Politics is a dirty little business practiced by dirty little people in dirty places, like the US Senate. RKBA advocates and those who want to live in relative liberty must put as much pressure as possible on representatives of the Republican Party and on any 'moderate' (if there are any) or pro-2nd demonRATs to allow this egregious piece of trash-law to sunset. We should use every means at our disposal to persuade President Bush to change his mind and urge Congressional leaders to whip the bastards into shape on this issue. The only thing legislators understand is money and power; and they need the former in order to get and maintain the latter. If they think they can get the money/power and still stab the Constitution in the back, they will do it. Its up to us to convince them otherwise. A lot of re-thinking is going to happen should this unconstitutional law be renewed; should the worst happen, that will be the time to consider other options.

How did that work out for SR.Bush.
