JP>-> That's fine, but since Dole is about as gun grabbing as Clinton,
JP>-> aren't you punishing yourself and the 2nd amendment just as much?
JP>So what should we do, Nolan?  Hold our breath till our faces turn
JP>blue? Either Dole or Clinton is gonna be the next president of these
JP>United States.  People who don't recognize that fact are, as they
JP>say, "reality challenged".
Nobodys said anything much about it being anyone but Dole or Clinton.
But that doesn't mean I have to toss my hat in with what I despise just
because it's going to win.  I knew the terrorism bill was going to
become law.  I did _not_ tell me congress critter I wanted it because it
was going to win.  Which is really what you're saying we should do here.
I don't back whatever looks likely to win simply to claim "victory".
I'd rather stand true to my believes and convictions.  That is far more
honorable and honest, in my opinion.
JP>Plus, I continue to delude myself that Dole's Supreme Court nominees
JP>would be at least marginally better for us than Hilary's would.
Maybe, but since Dole's voted for whatever Clinton nominated without
hesitation I don't see why.  If Dole has no objections to the type of
people Clinton nominates why on earth would Doles nominations be any
different?
JP>But lets face reality.  The real problem facing us this fall is
JP>keeping a pro 2nd majority in control of Congress.
Keeping a pro 2nd majority?  I don't think we've gotten one yet.  Oh
they claimed to be this as they ran, but they sure haven't voted this
way.  Nah, they're just as quick as those they replaced to destroy the
2nd amendment as well as the rest of the document.  That terrorist
bill/law/act whatever is one of the most horrible things to ever come
out of Congress against the Constitution.  And it came from these so
called 2nd amendment members.  I fail to see the difference between
republicans grabbing my guns and democrats grabbing my guns.
JP>Keeping a Clinton re-election from having a coat-tail effect is
JP>enough reason right there to vote for Dole.  Not that the lying
JP>bastard deserves it.  He gets a free ride by being part of the
JP>package.
If the lying bastard doesn't deserve it, why are you going to give it to
him?  I don't deserve your guns either, but why not give them to me
instead of him?  I'll at least take better care of them then he will.
