Has anyone considered this scenario on the AWB Sunset?

In September it goes away, all the NRA and even the GOA members vote for George the II for President. He wins.

Unknown to us, he has cut a deal with the Dems, they will approve his judges and all his financial favors to his business buddies.

Then the Dems get the AWB passed w/o a sunset provision in January.
The Dems can tell their supporters that they are doing something about guns, Mr. Bush gets his tax cuts and corporate pork. Plus he doesn't ever have to win another election.

Am I being paranoid?
Even three months of freedom are better than nothing.

You're being paranoid.

Guns are not a big issue for the majority of democrats. Judicial appointments are more important to them than the AWB.

geez, guys, it's obvious that Bush is going to fuck us over.  Haven't y'all been paying attention to our oh, so superior members telling about how he will do it, here's another plan of how he is going to do it, and they must be right.  Either that or paranoid fools.[shock]

Just like the Dems, no facts, just emotional bullshit.

Mr. paranoid, the Dems don't have enough votes to renew it, so why should Bush make a deal on it?

It makes sense to me. I think that George Bush is much more concerned with keeping power than listening to voters.

He knocks down the border fences so his corporate buddies get cheap labor and lets the middle class pay for the schooling and medical benefits for the illegals, er, guest workers & families.

I think GWB is grabbing the classic ideologies of the left to get elected knowing that those bills will   be shot down. I think and hope that he will  be much more conservative his next term. I believe that the Dems will lose more seats in both houses this election. In a poll GWB is the favored canidate among the younger generation (18- 25) ! I beleive that the young people are tired of the whole Democrat rhedoric , seeing how bad those ideologies hurt the country. The gun issue is a loser and they know it , although the dems still want the AWB reinstated . They think it is a popular issue and it isn't. John Edwards  beleives in the 2nd Ammendment , however " you do not need an AK-47 to hunt " . He is a hand job. That is my $.02 .[:E]

Dems allow Bush to appoint lifetime judges for a firearms ban? [whacko]

More likely scenario: Bush wins and carries in enough Republican Senators to overcome Democratic filibusters of his judicial nominees.

I tell ya what, I wish the Dems would agree to that deal. With the right judges appointed you could get out of that pretty damn quick.

Now that is a great point that seals it up right there. Good work catching it.
