And 'far left fringe party hacks' never answer simple questions:
"Tell us about the so-called 'gun show problem.' According to you, Governor Bush thought 'unlicensed dealers' (a 'fringe left' term for 'law abiding citizens' ;>) should be subjected to 'background check' requirements, and that the 'federal government should solve' the problem. Has President Bush actually done anything in that regard?"
You posted it - answer the question.
"Does a [gun show] problem even exist?"
You posted it, my left fringe friend: answer the question.
As for "previous behavior," that now includes the President's promise to sign an extension of the Clinton 'assault weapons' ban, if Congress sends it to him. You have two choices:
1) Mr. Bush meant what he said, and is therefore no better than Clinton when it comes to the phoney 'assault weapons' issue; or
2) Mr. Bush was 'playing politics,' and said he would sign the bill even though he really wouldn't.
Which is it, "Madam Cleo?" Please be specific.

Judging by Dubya's past 3 years in office the answer is no. Dubya has proposed nothing to stop gun shows as President.

I'm pro-life, Pro-RKBA, for taxcuts, for a strong military, and for free trade. I just think there are common sense approaches to solving the problems in the world that don't include erecting a 15 foot fence around our borders, shooting abortion doctors, or blowing up the Alfred P. Murrah building. Extremism in the pursuit of liberty invites a backlash like President Johnson. Johnson is Goldwater's legacy and the Great Society is the legacy of people on the far right fringe. They look at one statement about signing an AWB that will never pass a Republican controlled congress and forget about taxcuts, military victories, and abortion restriction. Then they say really stupid things when they are faced with a choice of Dean or Dubya like "what precisely would be the difference?" These people are my enemy because they are fighting on the side of the leftists all while fooling real conservatives and even themselves into believing they are on the side of Right. They are like little children who say "I don't want SOME, I WANT IT ALL, and if I can't have it all, I want NONE."
There are some conservative who are concerned about RKBA and felons buying guns. Do you think Americans should have any limits on buying weapon? Some far right fringers say no even to the point of nuclear weapons...after all "the Gubmint has 'em. I got my rights in the 2nd ammendment to defend myself from the tyranical gubmint!" Do felons have a right to fear the tyranical gubmint? Maybe they should be armed too? If you do have limits on arms then you are no better than Dubya and 98% of Americans...It is just a matter of degree. Tell me please how strongly you support the 2nd Ammendment.
2) Mr. Bush was 'playing politics,' and said he would sign the bill even though he really wouldn't.
I'm going with 2 Einstein. In fact I'm very proud of the job Dubya has done "playing politics." Nobody does it better than Dubya and it has paid off in some great changes for America IMO.
All warfare is based on deception - Sun Tzu's Art of War
It is strategery. Can you immagine a general on the battlefield telling his opponents how he was going to kill them? That is what many far right fringers expect from their representatives. Until Jesus comes back and runs for office the far right fringers will lose election after election because their standards for support are too high for mere humans. I guess they will just have to pine for goldwater or (snicker) write in Tom Tancredo.
If Dubya said "I will not pass an extension of the AWB EVEN if my own party passes it," he would be pounded with it day after day. Now he can say "I'm willing to sign it if Congress decides it is a necessary." When Dubya says he will sign a law that will never pass it cancels some of the votes the rats might get from moron centrist voters. The rats do the same thing...take Howard Dean for instance. Howard will tell you he is for more taxes, a weaker military, gay rights, affirmative action, socialized medicine, but he says he would only support an AWB and no more than that...can you believe that some knuckle-headed far right fringers are considering voting for Dean because they are too stupid to discern a difference between Dean and Dubya? Neither can I.
