Heehee, well put, tongue in cheek.
And since the only other serious choice is Senator McCain, who I disagree with on a whole list of issues, social, economic and foreign, I'm left with Senator Obama.
They still push their anti-gun bills. The only reason we have not had any new gun control is because the democrats have not had both congress and the White House.
They have not had the ability to override a filibuster. In January, they will. You are naive.The Democrats have had control of the House and Congress for two years now,
They have not had the ability to override a filibuster.
LOL... they haven't even sent an anti-gun bill out of committe!!
In the years immediately preceding a presidential election, democrats don't come within 100 miles of an anti gun bill.
No, its because the rank and file democrats don't support it.
For perspective, the worst death toll by natural disaster in the US was the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, in which a little over 3,000 people died.
LOL... they haven't even sent an anti-gun bill out of committe!!
I stand corrected. The Galveston disaster was worse than San Fran. From the figures that I can find, the death toll was between 6,000 and 8,000, which would still put it at 2,000 less than what Obama claimed. Plus, the actual death toll in Kansas was 12.I'm not sure what the definitive worst natural disaster in the US was but Galveston Texas was wiped out by a hurricane in September of 1900. It is estimated that between 6,000 and 12,000 were killed.
If you think that folks like Jim Webb were sincere in their expressions of support for the Second Amendment, or that they will have the standing to resist Democratic Party directives to vote for passage of a new Assault Weapons bill, you are incredibly naive.
They will within one year of the onset of an Obama Administration.
Yea. Everyone was saying the same thing when the Democrats took the House and Senate
First, on what basis are you questioning Senator Webb's sincerity? Do you know him? If not, you are claiming something you cannot possibly know.
Second, what would be the risk for a popular Senator from Virginia in resisting the leadership on any bill, especially one that anyone who can read would know would be very unpopular with his constituents?
Did the Republican Senate leadership, which by the way was one of the most rigorously disciplined caucuses anyone has ever seen, do anything to punish liberal Republicans from Democratic-leaning states? Of course they didn't. They weren't that stupid.
There's nothing that the Democratic Congressional leadership could do to punish legislators from pro-gun areas that would be worse than what their constituents would do to them. And everybody knows it.
