I'm among the 50% that are waiting to see what happens with the AWB. I am mightily ticked off at the signing of the anti-free speech CFR, the immigration proposal and the big spending - and GWB's signature on an AWB renewal and/or expansion will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I'll stay home and reload rather than vote for him in that circumstance.

Keep in mind that I don't want to do this: he's done a great job in the War on Terror (though I'm not at all thrilled with the Patriot Act's dramatic reduction of our liberties), and I certainly don't want Kerry naming federal judges, submitting very underfunded defense budgets, gutting the intelligence agencies and pushing for higher taxes. BUT. I. WILL. NOT. STAND. BY. WHILE. MY. MOST. BASIC. RIGHTS. ARE. GUTTED. BY. A. PRESIDENT. WHO. SWORE. AN. OATH. TO. "PRESERVE AND PROTECT." SAID. RIGHTS.

Is my message clear, Mr. Rove? Understand that betraying gun owners will result in your boss having to spend a tremendous amount of time and money in the upcoming campaign in supposedly safe Republican states, just to be sure of taking them, time and money that will not be available for trying to win states that are now projected to be close. Mess with gun owners - who put you and your boss in your present jobs - and your job will become VERY much more difficult, and may possibly be "outsourced" as of 1/20/05.
