Expect him to strenuously push for, and sign, a much more restrictive Assault Weapons Ban. Expect him to not even mention the Assault Weapons Ban.

I do wish we had a republican running in this election. (SARCASM OFF)
But, to be honest I have read JFK's domestic agenda during his term and he was more conservative the GWB is looking now. And that is just wrong!

Ted Kennedy went on the record yesterday to ask for $100 billion increase in all Medicare, Medicaid, and Prescription drug benefits.
I think this is just a preview of what will happen to the budget if a Democrat gets into office.

BTW, new cruelty reminded me of a quote made by GW Bush in Crawford, Texas last year, in which Bush states: "I will strenuously push for and sign a much more restrictive Assault Weapons ban."
It was reported by all the networks.

Morphing into Wesley Clark is certainly humorous, but it is not exactly a good way to actually win debates.
There are plenty of things for conservatives to grumble about with Bush. No need to embellish. Doing so just spins everything off topic and makes it less likely we'll be effective in getting the administration's attention.
To: Lazamataz; William McKinley
Informed speculation.I think the word "informed" is in the eye of the beholder. LOL!
To me, it sounds a little like "chicken little" praying that the sky will fall down so she will have something to complain about.

Whatever the reasons, conservatives - as opposed to partisan Republicans - have sincere misgivings about the kind of presidency Bush is conducting.

There are plenty of things for conservatives to grumble about with Bush.My number one issue is gun control. It's how I discovered conservatism.
This son-of-a-Bush has been so bad on every conservative issue so far that -- and be honest with yourself here -- can't you just visualize him pushing for and signing a much more restrictive Assault Weapons ban?

Thus this is merely opinion. Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth begin.

I have one point I wish for you to consider, if you would be so kind. If a dem spent money they it has been spent in the past few years, if a dem sign the pill bill, if a dem affected our constitutional rights the way finance reform and the patriot act have (I am very skeptical of any attack on my rights for any reason.), if a dem proposed the amnesty, if a dem says that he sign an extention to the assault weapons ban, if a dem grew the size of government the way this President has we would all be howling mad and marching on Washington with torches.
I am not saying that GWB does not have many positives, he does but to me his negative now out weight them. If he, for example, would drop the amnesty and cut spending I would be happy to reevaluate him. I am not naive enough to think I can ever get all I want from a politicain in terms of his views, but now the issues he is for that I oppose are more to me then those I agree with him.

Nice try, though.C'mon Laz...you said that "He said it", but then try to turn it around by saying you can't provide proof of a future event? All we are asking for is the statement that you stated Bush made. If he made a statement about pushing for and signing a more restrictive AWB, it would be a past event...so provide a quote please. Otherwise, you are merely using your crystal ball to spread disinformation...that's not like you.

...It will be interesting to see here whether we can discuss this very real and threatening issue without "bashing" the President we all love so much....
We don't all love him that much.
To: new cruelty; Lazamataz; William McKinley
The cartoon is cute...
You are not... LOL!
By the way... I will do your and Laz's job for you.
According to the White House site, the President does support the current assault weapon ban...
Lately, on Free Republic there have been alot of "accusations" and "charges" made without proof. These over generalizations of positions and beliefs about what will happen in the future usually denigrate into a name calling slug fest.
Proof usually melts away any opposition.
That said... can anyone tell me why anyone would need to own an assault weapon?
