So our Right to the tools of Self Defense are now contingent upon a fickle public voting in more RINO's?

Gee... don't do me any favors.

As for the illegal filibuster on an equally illegal 60 vote "majority" passed by Little Tommy, why not just change the rules back to what they were; simple majority. Hell, the Dims only passed that onerous turd of a rule because they KNEW it'd give a slim Conservative majority conniptions.

I do not trust an undereducated, stupid, easily biased public filled to the brim by the likes of Peter Lemmings, Catie Colon, and Dan Blather with their leftist Hate to hand the R's back a win next election. Not the across the board sweep that your scenario requires.

My Rights, they are your Rights to remember, should NEVER be held hostage like this.

Hiding your head in the sand won't change reality.

OF COURSE our rights SHOULD never be held hostage like this. That doesn't change the reality that they ARE being held hostage. Nor does it change the reality that our best hope is that a fickle voting public elects more RINOs.

I don't like it either. The Republican Party in general and George Bush in particular have shown themselves quite willing to disregard principles and contradict their own rhetoric whenever they think it will gain them a political advantage. The best one can say about them is that the Democrats are even worse. As it is I found myself rooting for the Dems during the recent Medicare vote, and hoping that political gridlock would save us. Unfortunately it didn't.

Still, Bush has demonstrated a willingness to nominate intelligent and principled judges, and then fight for them (albeit so far unsuccessfully). He clearly intends to make his mark by remaking the federal judiciary. Not all the consequences of that across a range of issues will be good, but the RKBA consequences should be very good.

It's our best chance to recover our rights. If you want to ignore the facts and beat your chest and yell loudly that we shouldn't have to put up with all this sh!t, be my guest.

It still won't change reality.
