PN>                           A SLAP IN THE FACE
PN>                                By Dave Markowitz
PN>        Many of you who've been posting here on Paul Revere for any time
PN>saw my earlier postings on why we need to vote for Bob Dole in
PN>November.  My gist was that Dole's no saint, but that he'd be better for
PN>our cause than another four years of Bill Clinton.  But now I've been
PN>forced to reconsider my viewpoint.
PN>        Last week, Dole came out and dropped his "support" for repealing
PN>the 1994 assault weapons ban, while reiterating support for a national
PN>instant background check on *all* firearms purchases. It was bad enough
PN>that he did not actively push a repeal while he was Senate Majority
PN>Leader, but this brings his anti-freedom position to a whole new level.
PN>This is, to put it mildly, a slap in the face.
PN>        To be blunt, he just told us GunOwners to go fuck ourselves.
PN>He'll get along just fine without us, thank you very much.
        Dole never has been the man of our dreams, but what's new? I'm
voting against Bill Clinton, and the only man who can (or at least could
have up until the time he started shooting himself in the foot) beat
Bill Clinton is Bob Dole. 99% of my effort will be on the congressional
races, and Dole isn't getting any more money from me. I just return the
requests for money with newspaper clippings and notes explaining why
Dole is on his own as far as I'm concerned. I reserve the most lengthy
explanations for the requests from Haley Barbour; things like "Is Dole
trying to destroy the Republican Party? We already have one liberal
party, we don't need another" or "What a disgusting state of affairs!
The most hated sitting president in history and we're running the only
man in America that wants to be just like him".
        We blew it in the primaries, when we had a choice of several men
better on our issue than Dole. We didn't do enough to get them
nominated, and now all the good choices are gone. Heaven help us if we
don't wake up before the congressional races are too far gone to
recover.
        The election of Bob Dole would say enough about our political
weakness; what would Bill Clinton's reelection say? What a disgusting
state of affairs! Ernie P.
