  Yeah, that basically sums it up.  But it seems to be a forgotten

 environment.

  And that is why things continue to get worse and the American citizen
 continues to get the short stick.  It is an incredible statement of the
 way the country is currently messed up when a majority of the voters are
 voting for someone they may disagree with, but because they think that
 person will be less harmful than another.  Look at the Dem/Rep campaign
 attack ads.  They aren't about "hey, I've got this great idea....if you
 agree vote for me"---they're about "hey, that guy is tons worse than I am,
 so vote for me or you'll get screwed even worse!".
  Heck, just look at some of the conversations on the networks.  I've seen
 a lot of "Well, I hate what Dole did here, I didn't agree with what he
 did there, and I'm scared of what he'll do over there...but I'm gonna
 vote for him because think about what would happen if Clinton was elected
 again!"
  And of course the politicians eagerly take advantage of that situation.
 Dole feels that the American gunowner will not tell him he can go to hell
 along with Clinton.  Is he right?  That is up to you and I, and every
 other American gunowner.  When the politician says he promises not to cum
 in your mouth, are you gonna bite him off, or are you gonna get ready
 to swallow?
 PN> Still dunno, I think.
  Let's face it.  People who are going to vote for Dole "anyway" this
 November don't want to change anything.  It is almost like the way
 an abused person will keep returning to their abuser, until they end
 up dead or a third party (pun intended) intervenes.
  You either want to do something and are going to have the courage and
 conviction to make a stand, or you just wanna get in a few more reps
 on your jaw exercises while the chains grow ever heavier and the noose
 grows ever tighter.
