Ed, that is why we vote libertarian.
Here's what I see as a problem with that notion. There are pro-RKBA Democrats, both at the state level and national level. The problem is that once almost any at the state level reach the national level, they're told in no uncertain terms that to rock the boat on gun control and abortion rights will mean an end to the contributions coming from the DNC. Period, end of story.The only Democrat that might cause me to pause while heading for the Bush Button would be Zell Miller.
What about when you are helping to elect an anti-RKBA Repuke into office? What then? Even if people say I am throwing it away by voting third party, how am I not throwing it away by voting for Bush? I simply dont get your logic. Clue me in on it.As far as voting Libertarian, or any third party is concerned, face the truth-do so and you just helped an ant-RKBA Dem get to the White House.
Again, I ask how? Explain please.George Bush isn't perfect, but in terms of honor, integrity, and his Second Amendment views, he's head and shoulders above his competition. geegee
The first piece of legislation GWB signed into law as Governor of Texas was our Concealed Carry Law. Not exactly the hallmark of an anti-RKBA politician. He said he would, and he kept his promise. To me, that certainly counts for integrity. At the national level, his biggest RKBA legislative test will be the AWB. We'll just have to wait and see how that one turns out.What about when you are helping to elect an anti-RKBA Repuke into office? What then?

How? The first thing I'd have to ask you is whether you really believe you'd rather have Al Gore as President, or John Kerry, or Dick Gephardt, or Al Sharpton, Carol Moseley Braun, or Howard Dean, or (dare I say it?) Hillary Clinton? Integrity and the names of most of those people don't even belong in the same sentence. Dean seems to be a nice enough person, who I just disagree with. Kerry is a bonafide war hero, who since entering Congress has never missed a chance to vote for weakening our military and national defense (go figure).George Bush isn't perfect, but in terms of honor, integrity, and his Second Amendment views, he's head and shoulders above his competition
Yes, we will. He decides that he wants to fall on the RKBA side, then my vote might fall on the Republican side of the ticket. Might.At the national level, his biggest RKBA legislative test will be the AWB. We'll just have to wait and see how that one turns out.
That is because you didnt include a Libertarian in your list. Standing up to the UN and Fraermany is admirable, but its rather like standing up to your freshly-made pan of jello. It doesnt take big chrome-moly spheres to do that. I dont have to tell you that if we completely withdrew from the UN, it would become our global whipping boy, then they would suddenly "see our point of view" after they missed our money long enough.The first thing I'd have to ask you is whether you really believe you'd rather have Al Gore as President, or John Kerry, or Dick Gephardt, or Al Sharpton, Carol Moseley Braun, or Howard Dean, or (dare I say it?) Hillary Clinton? [...] The one thing I've appreciated and admired about Bush as President, more than anything, is having the spine to stand up to the United Nations. He did it when we first went to Iraq, and he did it again today. There isn't a person on my previous list who isn't totally in love with the idea of a bigger, stronger, more powerful U.N.
Don, has it ever occurred to you that what Bush did was encourage the growth of the US gun parts manufacturing industry? Call it a ban if you want, it is actually an embargo to give some incentive for Americans to continue making guns.
There are a whole lot of folks who are not gun grabbers and who believe that there should be a 100% embargo on all Chicom and Comblock rifles. Why? Because if we buy foreign guns then pretty soon Americans start forgetting how to work drill presses, casting machines, lathes, forges and all the other tools needed to make guns.
Go ahead and vote third party if you want, then when Hillary starts confiscation you might think about how she got elected.
