I have found that the words educate and guns never go hand in hand unless its your own thing. Its like talking to a child when they put there hands over their ears and make noise so the info. won't come in, and she's a Republican.

Are you just pullin my chain. Cause I am a gun lovin moderate Democrat and waiting for my candidate to arise from somewhere. I think a lot of Repubs. would be amazed at the similarities between us. Try calling a gun totin' longshoreman a stupid fucken liberal sometime. |

There are a lot of democrats in state legislatures, especially in the South and the West, that are big supporters of gun owners when it comes to votes at the state level. There are some republicans that are from big cities that won't support gun owners at all.

One friend of mine is one of the biggest Republican supporters I know. He does all kinds of volunteer work for them and knows many high-ranking Republicans personally, but says the NRA's views are "too extreme."
 Another friend of mine was a Kerry voter, but a strong supporter of the 2nd, especially in regards to "fun" weapons. The simple fact is that, as much as we sometimes wished otherwise, most people are not single-issue voters when it comes to guns. |

Glenn Poshard - the Democratic gubernatorial contender against George "Graft" Ryan, one of the biggest gun grabbing RINO's we've seen. One of the Rep. Stephanie Herseth, D, SD I know there are more, but the NRA webiste has buried all the endorsements. I crossed party lines for Mr. Poshard. |

I believe the new senate minority leader received a B from the NRA.
The next four years the battle will hopefully be fought at the state level, unless we actually win one at the federal, which seems unlikely after sept. but I'd be happy to be wrong about that. |

I crossed party lines and voted for Poshard myself.

Party membership means more at the present time, than whether the individual politician is a gun rights advocate or a gun control freak!
Everything that is done in Washington DC, at the present time, is done along party lines! I would vote for a gun-grabbing GOP moderate than a rabidly pro-gun conservative DEMO any day of the week! Why? Because the GOP fellow would vote for his party in leadership positions, just as the DEMO would vote for his party in leadership positions! And whoever leads the Congress, sets the agenda!

BIG +1 Had dinner with my cousin last night, and she started talking about how she can't stand dems blah blah blah. Then she goes off on how we need MORE laws and that is the only way we can stop all this crazyness. As shameless as I am, I instantly said, "And you think you are conservative? Cuz I'm pretty sure that most Republicans would say they are for LESS government!" Her response was, "Oh, well that makes sense too!" OMG, people are quite dumb! |

Tango, I was all set to vote for Poshard, until I saw him on a Chicago area interview show
(I'm in Springfield) where he said one of his first acts upon election would be to try to get an assault weapons ban. It was on PBS down here-he probably thought the stupid Downstaters wouldn't see the show. I sat out the election. Problem is, there are a lot of pro-gun Dems who wind up following the Party line on guns once elected. I've also given up on Illinois Republicans (rinos) . No better than Governor Daley's crew. If I won the lottery tomorrow I'd be in Nevada in a month. |

Retake Civics 101 and repost in the morning! Surely you understand the present power of party politics? Can you say 'The AWB sunsetted without the GOP lifting a finger and the DEMOS powerless to prevent it'????? Sheesh! Sell something and buy a clue! Even heavily medicated, I can understand the way things are in Washington DC! May not be the way I wish it were, but, as Mama Hun used to say, 'If wishes were horses, even beggars would ride.'

I just hope, in the end, that the people who think they have a say in the matter of our right to keep and bear arms, realize that the issue will not be decided in the courts or the halls of Congress.

If these are the only choices for Governor of your state, then the situation in your state has already gotten out of hand. |

... I'm a die-hard Republican. However, I draw the line at the Second Amendment - It is the teeth of the US Constitution. Without a RKBA, the rest of the document is just old ink on old paper.
... I would vote Democrat in a NY minute, if I were assured our RKBA |

The crappy thing about politicians is they can be bribed, oops, convinced to change their minds on just about anything. It's always a crap shoot. I'd vote for your friend more than likely.

True, true, true! But do NOT ignore for a moment that it is the Republican National Committee and the Democrat National Committee that parcels out the 'mother's milk of politics'....dough! Realistically, you can count on NO MAN for his integrity, patriotism, honesty, BUT you can always count on him for knowing which direction will keep him in office and which won't! And money will keep him in office! And to receive this money, he MUST toe the Party line on leadership choices! Find me an example of a DEMO who voted for Dennis Hastert for House Speaker or of a Republican who would have voted for Nancy Pelosi! They simply don't exist! And with the House Speakership comes....commitee chairman selections, committee assignments, House calendars, and campaign money distributions! In other words, every bit of power in Congress! Same with the Senate! IF you wish to get anything done in Washington, for better or for ill, you simply must realize how the game is played! If you don't, then you may as well be a Libertarian, with your nose pressed against the glass of the door to the Visitors Gallery, while the work of the Republic is being conducted on the House and Senate Floors!
