I guess your answer was 'yes' to my question.

May I represent it as such?

I don't know. Perhaps not.

Let's start floating names here as Primary Challengers to Bush in 2004 over this CFR and his other travesties of late.

If he has two functioning brain cells, he would realize that the pro-gun vote was critical in electing him, and act accordingly.

You assume too much.

If Bush were to be impeached, we would first have to start by removing every Congressman and Senator that voted for it.

And the problem with this is .... ? :)

I am so tired of Republicans who don't know what they believe or why they believe it.

This morning, I looked long and hard at the Post Office as I drove by. Those voter registration forms with the little checkbox that says "Libertarian" were calling to me. It wouldn't be a matter of me abandoning the Party I've belonged to for over 20 years so much as the Party I've belonged to for over 20 years abandoning me.

I wonder if this article finally shows that the liberals are not going to stop at this CFR bill. This limitation on free speech is not going to stop until they can put us in jail for any critical speech.

Correct.

We have absolutely no right to criticize the former Soviet Union, since we are rapidly on the way to becoming them.

You're insane. How could signing an unconstitutional law, a law he used as an example of his conservative credentials in the primaries, a law he promised not to support, possible be good.

You are suggesting the Supreme Court should be making these important decisions. That is judicial activism my friend. The only defenders of the Constitution are the people and their elected representatives.

I'd rather lose than win without integrity.

Well, at least we know you're not a stinkin' Democrat! ;-)

Would it have been better to have gotten Gore?

It wouldn't have been different. They both are the same now. One might have signed this. One did. Bush.

You vote for another other than Republican and you just threw your vote to the Democrat dogs.

The Republican dogs are no better. I don't vote for dogs.

I am personally ticked off that Bush signed this and the previous "Patriot Act." Can you imagine what would be going on right now if Gore were in office?

Yes, I saw 8 years of Clinton, they were terrible. Now it is worse. It is worse because of people like you who fought Clinton tooth and nail but are now complicitous in tyranny because there is a (R) after Bush's name. You have called for Clinton's skin, but you lick the boots of this swine. Even Clinton didn't repeal the 1st amendment.

The general populous of the American people want to destroy our Bill of Rights. Throwing votes to Democrats by voting for third party candidates will surely destroy our government faster.

The only way to throw away your vote is to vote for people who you don't support because they have you in the bag. You poor fool. Lenin called people like you "useful idiots". Btw, I am happy to see our "government" destroyed. I want to replace it with the old constitutional one. The one with a first amendment.

Personally I say we let the courts figure this mess out that George Bush just signed.

You will probably get a chance to let them "figure it out" when he repeals your second amendment rights. No reason to think he won't based on this development.

Is that the final straw for you, Mr. 2nd_ Amendment_ Defender? Or is there a last straw? I guess you value the 2nd more than the 1st.

Pitiful, a Republican before an American.

You are wrong because this is not a good political move for Bush. The only people who will base their decision in the next election on this issue will be the conservative freepers who were lied to.

"Without a court ruling, the Dems and McCains will continue on their holy quest for complete public financing of campaigns."

This has been the CFR crowd's ultimate goal all along. Hopefully, the court ruling will shut them down.

One brain cell, then? :-)

Just thinking on the keyboard... I don't assume that Bush acknowledges or appreciates the pro-gun vote. It will be to his detriment to "assume too much", though, with regard to our support. Don't you agree?

Forget it.

Not a chance in a million. He values power over all. And you value him. Pathetic.

He p**sed his presidency away as far as I'm concerned.

Why th' hell do I even bother voting!? Nov 7th I'm just going to sleep in....

But president says Shays-Meehan is ‘far from perfect’

So he went ahead and inflicted it on us anyhow because he wants to be loved by liberals.

"I tell ya, the guy's brilliant. Democrats will vote for him in droves."

And your point is? Winning is everything, integrity is nothing?

I feel like I should have just supported McCain in the primaries. Sure, he's just a democrat in sheep's clothing and sure he wants desperately to deprive me of my First Amendment Right to free speech and all that...but we knew all about that, he was honest enough to tell us that.

Bush is a liar. He's also a coward. He has huge clout now with the American people and he's absolutely scared shitless to use it. We saw that in the gubernatorial elections last November. We saw that we he endorsed Riordan in Ca...who at the time all the pundits agreed was the hands down favorite. We saw it in 2000 when he turned on the Republicans in Congress who were trying to support him when he made his famous "don't balance the budget on the backs of the poor" bon mot. Good job Mr. President

after this traitorous act is more ridiculous.

Calling the signing of a bill that the majority of both houses and the American people want passed a traitorous act is what is ridiculous. People, you are way over the edge. Calm down.
