I haven't seen the issue, or read the rant. I don't plan on looking for it either. It is probably something I would expect them to scribble.

Even without a law, Mitt could result in an economic ban because of declining wages and broken unions. Of course Blair Mt re enactments would get the right behind gun bans, just like the right supported licensing schemes and bans in the south back in the day.

My FIL voted Democratic based on health care alone. For the most part, he was a fairly conservative guy.

OK we agree on two things, Florida sucks compared to NYC/Wyoming (depending on individual) and must stick together as Democrats.

Not an NRA member, so I doubt writing from me would help. krispos42 Sep 2012 #1
