While I'm far from pleased about some of the things that have happened (border insecurity and massive spending), I'm old enough (56 yrs) to remember Jimmy Carter, Lyndon Johnson, etc. Massive unemployment, incredible interest rates, stagflation, enormous taxes.
For those that claim Bush shouldn't get credit for a good economy, low interest, all time highs in the Dow, etc. you should be reminded that he's the first one to get blame if something goes wrong. After all, it was Bush that created global warming that caused all the hurricanes last year.
Odd, the same media that crucified Bush for that says nothing this year when there hasn't been hurricane one.
If you think back just a few years, remember all the posters here whining about the AWB??? "I can't have 17 round mags for my Glock", etc. Now Bush & Co. may not be ultra vocal about 2A, but they don't have to be. For most, gun rights have expanded considerably in the past 6 years.
My son-in-law works in a trailer factory and my daughter teaches elemetary. They got an extra $4,000 back on their refund due to tax cuts. If the dems take control, the FIRST thing that will happen is to raise taxes. If you think it's on the "rich", think again pal. Their idea of "rich" is anyone over 50k/year.
As for the Patriot Act, the ACLU was asked by a media source to document the civil liberties violations that have resulted. Couldn't come up with one. Not one.
The biggest problem with voters is their short memory. If it hasn't happened in the last 30 seconds, it doesn't count.
So, go ahead and vote for dems. Even if your local guy is OK, it gives control of the committees to them. Charlie Rangle as chairman of Way and Means. There's a comforting thought.
Dems have control of California. You can expect the same laws and more nationwide. Better get the bonfires started so you can throw in your milsurps, AR's etc. Somebody needs to post one of the pictures from Australia of steam rollers running over piles of firearms. Maybe it'd get thru to some here.
