Dole voted for NAFTA, too . . . along with GATT, the "Crime" Bill, the
Brady Bill & the Terror Bill.  I don't know what you mean by "if" Dole
sells out on the gun issue . . . . .  Since Dole voted for the rifle & mag
ban, it would be a pretty stupid waste of his time to do anything about
repealing it.
It looks like the Conflict of Opposites really works, as the Sheeple are
supposed to keep one eye focused on Schumer/Klinton & the other focused on
the NRA, while Fascist Traitor Trash like Dole, Gingrich, Phil Gramm, etc.
dump behind their backs.  Its a pretty thin veneer . . . .
