PLEASE Don't Sit out 2004, EVEN IF Bush signs the AW ban extention

Bush Supports New Extension Of Assault-Weapons Ban

Bush Backs Renewing Assault Weapons Ban

No Bill, you're wrong. There is some sort of secret genuis here or maybe this story is just make believe.

....at least that's what folks keep telling me.

[Uncle Bill]

Hehe. It must be that secret all-knowing compassionate strategy, only known by the village people.

[Uncle Bill]

LOL. I love that photo everytime I see it. Thanks so much for being so dedicated to the Constitution, the founding fathers, and holding so true to the 2nd Amendment all this time. God bless.

[wardaddy]

Well...he may be a damn good war leader and we all know he's an exponential improvement over his predecessor(and we did crawl thru broken glass for him) but he and the folks he's listening to are simply wrong.

This steady tug away from the conservative base makes no sense to me.

I know that now I'll be admonished and told to give it time .moderate socially and domestically..that next election we will get a supermajority and then things will really click....ok....where have I got to go politically?....nowhere...and Rove knows that....but some folks aren't gonna be pragmatic like me and they might just stay home. It's a gamble that I SEE NO FRIGGIN REASON SUCH A POPULAR PRESIDENT NEEDS TO TAKE....he has beaucoup political capital....

Hell, lets spend some of it dammit!

[Mr. Mojo]

It seems that Presidents are only concerned about their base when they're in serious trouble. When things are rolling and they have 75% approval ratings, complete control of Congress, and are coming off major foreign policy victories, they seem to make a mad grab for the center.

Let's hope Bush is just holding his finger to the wind with this. I'm not willing to crucify him just yet.

The secret genuis is that this is a minor issue and needs to be fought out in Congress. If the bill doesn`t cross GWB`s desk, it ain`t going to be law. This is a big country with lots of voters that don`t understand all the gun control issues. The Rats would love to have Bush say he is going to overturn the law. We need to help Bush and anti-anti gun grabbers in 04, thats the real prize. Better that this piece by directed to how to move Congress

[nopardons]

B-E-L-I-V-E ! This presidnt isn't a jerk and methinks that this story is NOT factual.

[nopardons]

Oh dear, leave it to me to louse up a word in bold and caps. BELIEVE is how it should read. :-(

[Kenno]

The Rats would love to have Bush say he is going to overturn the law.

Why? Do they want to lose their seats? If Bush overturns the law, he wins in a landslide.

[Hugin]

My guess is the renewal will never make it out of the House in the first place. In fact this may be intended to see to it that it doesn't happen so Bush doesn't have to sign or veto it.

This steady tug away from the conservative base makes no sense to me.

---------------------------

Conservatives let themselves be conned.

[wardaddy]

Me neither as I stated...I'm just disappointed.

[wardaddy]

Why not just say nothing?

[diamond6]

Uncle Bill is a gutless mouse with no solutions.

[Kenno]

Actually, I have a theory on this.

Bush originally endorsed the ban in order to get the support of wealthy "moderate" Republicans in the primaries against John McCain. Now, he doesn't want to make an issue out of it when he's trying to concentrate on getting his tax cuts passed. If he loses on this vote, the economy could go south and screw up his reelection chances. Nevertheless, his ultimate gain comes from opposing the ban, not renewing it.
