The article is great for bookmarking. These RINOs should be targets in the future primaries. The militia of Flight 93, our only effective defense on September 11, 2001, is the best example.
A clash is wishful thinking on the part of the RAT media. Pubs are have no desire to tear apart their base over this. It's pretty clear that in one thing the Brady Bunch is correct: Bush and Hastert have a working stategery that allows the ban to expire while Bush can say he supported it's renewal. The whining you hear from the antis is their frustration that the plan is working. Their bluster about a groundwell of anger of the ban's expiration is just impotent fantasy.
Another "the Republicans are as bad as the dems" hit piece.
The article said only ten Republicans are anti-gun. They're anti-gun because they are in liberal states. Does anyone understand that? If they weren't RINO's, they wouldn't be elected and the dems would have control over the Senate.
Facts are facts. Without the RINO's we wouldn't have senatorial contol. And the numbers still show the Republican Party to be Pro-gun and the dems to be the anti-gun party.
Too many Freepers willing to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
So the solution is to tell both parties if they don't work to sunset, they won't be elected. If and when the sunset occurs, we still have to vote for the pro-gun party.
"Other House Republican who have bucked their party to support the ban include Reps. Doug Bereuter (Neb.),. . . "
This 'Republican' is the one who just came out to oppose the war in Iraq. He claims that it was a mistake and based on faulty intelligence and he's not sure if it was deliberate or not. He is retiring from the House after 13 terms and accepting a position with the Asia Foundation.
This is what I found by going to their site (www.asiafoundation.org):
"Islam has long been highly influential in Indonesia's social and political landscape. Recognizing the importance of reinforcing inclusive and pluralist values within Indonesia's Muslim majority population, The Asia Foundation has been supporting a diverse group of mass-based Muslim groups since the 1970s."
What p!sses me off is that more people drown in this country than are shot by a weapon. Therefore logic would follow that we should outlaw WATER!
But whenever the RINOs have a chance, they'll shriek constantly about "their issues." Why is it that *they* are never told to "suck it up" and just patiently endure more 2nd Amendment rights, for instance?
The "assault" weapons ban does not ban semi-automatic guns, it only bans certain combinations of cosmetic features of semi-automatic rifles and large capacity clips.
I expect better reporting from CNS News.
They are interviewing democrats to come to the conclusion that Republicans are divided. Now ain't that cute.
With a few exceptions, like the certifiable Carolyn McCarthy, there's hardly anyone in the House willing to even talk about renewing the Ban. Certainly nobody willing to put there name down.
It's dead. 23 days, 14 hours, 52 minutes.

Why are left of center Republicans always called moderates? I don't see the term applied to the very few right of center Democrats. {/rhetorical question}
You can tell this isn't from the MSM, especially not Reuters or AP, they would never admit that AGS is a "Gun Control Group".
No, Mr. Recklaus, (appropriate last name, by the way), it has to do with the right of the people as enumerated by the Second Ammendment of the Bill of Rights, to keep AND BEAR arms.
