I saw the widowed Carneyhand speaking on C-Span the other day and was amazed at how vapidly ignorant she seemed.

That year at a gun control rally in St. Louis, Jean Carnahan said: "We are not a bunch of gun-hating zealots who want to take guns away from responsible, law-abiding sportsmen. We are women tired of children killing children."

It is not about sportsmen and firearms with sporting purposes. Will enough people be fooled by this publicity show to make a difference........

"He called the skeet shoot a "symbolic gesture" that "will probably help somewhat. I don't see how it can hurt."

It could also turn off more than a few of those clueless women supporters of hers.

Her daughter, Robin Carnahan, a lawyer, was a key player in the defeat in 1999 of Proposition B, a ballot question pushed by the National Rifle Association that would have allowed Missourians to carry concealed weapons.

She taught her daughter well.
I don't want her teaching ANYBODY in congress the same thing.

She got interested in skeet shooting several years ago after attending a National Governors' Convention with her late husband, former Gov. Mel Carnahan...AND....My son, Randy, who was in the plane crash...

Gag me with a spoon! The woman is still running on the sympathy vote.

This is a typical Democrat tactic. Commit a public fraud designed to deceive the voters, and count on the press to spread the word. Jean Carnahan is stupid on gun control. (Of course, her grasp of other subjects doesn't win any prizes, either.)

Since the race is so tight, we have to count on Talent's voters being more committed and therefore turning out in larger numbers.

Count on the dynamics of the Senate elections to be affected by the results from New Jersey. The whole argument of Robert ("the Un-Bribed") Torricelli is, "I may be a bum, but if you don't vote for me the evil Republicans will take over the Senate." I've been following the New Jersey numbers in the last week that show Forrester with a significant lead over Torricelli. And I was in touch this morning with a longtime friend who is a key advisor to Forrester.

Bottom line, through Drudge and the Internet, it will be known early in the afternoon that Torricelli has gone down in flames. That news will take the wind out of the sails of all the weaker Democrat candidates in Missouri, Minnesota and South Dakota. And it will strengthen the hand of Wayne Allard, who is the weakest Republican candidate.

In short, it will be known as soon as the Torch has flamed out, that Li'l Tommy Daschle is finished as Bolshevik (Russian for "Majority") Leader of the Senate. Then in all the other Senate races voters will be free to vote on the merits of the candidates, rather than "accept a flawed Democrat to ward off the evil Republicans." That means good news for the Republicans across the board.

Then the next problem is to get Trent ("Notta") Lott outta there as Majority Leader. As I've written before, he has the cajones of a gelded flea. That jockeying for position will take place between November and January. No reason to fight over a bone until the bone is real. (Though I'm sure some background work has already been done by the likes of Nichols.)

"I am not opposed to sportsmen using guns," Carnahan said.

How sweet of her!

Let's do the necessary parse of her statement, shall we, just like we always have to do with anything a Democrat says?

1. She says nothing about what the 2nd Amendment says. Last I checked, it didn't mention "hunters", only "the people".
2. "Using" guns is not the same as "owning" guns, much less keeping them unrestricted and unlicensed in one's home.
3. No mention here of the use of guns for "self-defense", of course, whether in the home or on the street.
4. No mention of concealed carry.
5. No mention of the rights of others besides hunters (no doubt properly "certified" and "licensed") being able to own or even use guns. Of course, we all know who does the certifying and licensing!

I could go on, but we all get the idea. She sounds just like Schmuck Schumer. Didn't we see that silly picture of him shooting a TEC-9? I'm surprised the article did not show her breaking clays with steely-eyed gaze!

Her past performance far outweighs her phony, gossamer words. She is an anti-2nd Amendment zealot, much less a dangerous lightweight. Like any politican who knows a losing argument shen she sees one, she is cleverly trying to hide her true postion in the hopes nobody is paying attention to what she really means.

The Widder Carnahan is a "loser" in all senses of the word. The voters of Missouri need to show her the door and let her go back to the farm where she can continue to carry on her nasty anti-Constitutional agendas in well deserved solitude instead of on the public dime!

I am NOT a sportswoman, I am a gunowner that owns one, becuase I have the right, and always hope to never have to use one to protect myself! Jean needs to learn that sportsmanship has nothing to do with the Constitution!
