Hemingway has been following Dean around the country at the expense of Free Press subscribers and generally licking his boots all the way.

He described Dean's return to NYC after a quick jaunt around the country as "triumphal"!!!!!!! No bias there, ey?

Check out the Free Press web site above and note that they have a huge number of pro-Dean stories archived and a number of pro-Dean web sites BUT NOT ONE that offers another slant on the Little Corporal.

Seen this stuff before.Dean will claim NRA this and NRA that UNTIL HE GETS YOUR VOTE.After he has your vote he'll sign every bit of anti-gun legislation that comes across his desk.

Supporting the extension of the Assault Weapons Bill is a throwaway for Dean since it's also Bush's position and since it'll be decided before the winner of the '04 race is sworn in.

It'll be interesting to see how Bush and Dean compare on 2nd Amendment issues if Dean becomes the nominee. My guess is Bush has disappointed those in Tennessee, West Virginia and Arkansas who voted for him who'd hoped for a more aggressively pro-gun President. I'd hope the campaign, assuming Dean becomes the nominee, would force both Bush and Dean to make some clear and firm commitments to 2nd Amendment supporters.

"If Al Gore had my position on guns, I wouldn't be here and he'd be in the White House," Dean said in an interview earlier this year.

I do believe that Dean is correct on this point. If Al Gore had not turned on gun owners, he would have won his home state, and probably a couple of other states as well. I do believe the Democrats have finally seen the light on this issue, they don't talk about gun control too much nowadays.

"He just let the gun people take care of their own issues."

Which is, as it should be.

LaPierre agreed, saying Gore's gun-control stance in the 2000 cost him presidency by causing him to lose Arkansas, West Virginia and his home state of Tennessee.

Pierre the Poodle is lying again. It wasn't Gore's position on gun control that cost him his support in his supposed home state, his supposed home county, and his own voting precinct, though it certainly didn't help him any.

But what nailed him struck much closer to home, and it's also the reason he now can't find financial backers in Tennessee willing to support his attempts at another try. He's toast.
