One of the big winners in this mess is little Tommie Daschle. Tommie came out early in support of, and sponsorship of the liability protection bill knowing full well the AWB would get attached via amendment. As a result, the NRA (in a boldy moronic move) came out publicly in SD and told people to write a letter of thanks for the legislation to Tommie. Then, obviously, Tommie screws them to the wall with the AWB attached, and the whole thing goes down in flames. The result is that Tommies biggest contributors (trial lawyers) gets what they want, Tommie gets what he wants (the ability to run endorsement-like ads featuring the NRA playing to gun-loving SoDaks short on news savvy), and the Pubbies are holding the bag. My God, where the h&ll are the party leaders?

Kerry is now on record as anti-gun. This can be used against him in PA and Ohio. He even made a speech.

Totally on the mark with this one, SoDak.

That was my comment last week, remember Tommy Dashole's re-election is at stake here. He now has a great "Pro-Gun" endorsement for SD voters on his side.

I wonder how long it will take his web site to relfect this winner in SD.

Again, great post SoDak

What was Schumer smoking? He said it was going to be a tie vote. Is he on the planet Bongo or was he just lieing to get some face time?

With regards to your question on were the Republican leadership is. That is simple they are still of the opinion that Democrats are a loyal opposition who love the Constitution. They also suffer from the idea that if they are nice to the talking heads & the democrats in the congress that they will be liked by these vermin .
