Little history lesson for you Trunk Monkey Jul 2012 #23

Gore lost the 2000 election because it was stolen. He also lost it because he ran a awful campaign still_one Aug 2012 #52

while I agree with you, gejohnston Aug 2012 #53

If it was today I would agree with the assessment regarding the power of the NRA, but even though still_one Aug 2012 #56

It is not the "NRA the lobby group" gejohnston Aug 2012 #57

Why do the pol's always engage in "assault rifle" doublespeak? OneTenthofOnePercent Jul 2012 #7

they depend too heavily on gejohnston Jul 2012 #10

I support Obama, but I don't think that excuse remotely excuses him. TPaine7 Jul 2012 #13

He stated AK because he's been told attacking the AR ileus Jul 2012 #12

I don't think he does Shilka-Gunluvr Jul 2012 #15

He knows what he's doing. And he know most folks that hung up on guns aren't going to vote for him. Hoyt Jul 2012 #19

That's a good point. NewMoonTherian Jul 2012 #29

Maybe. I think the 90+% of population that would not think of toting in public have "toes" too. Hoyt Jul 2012 #30

That's cool and all, but what about the entire subset of Americans (22-25%) that own guns? friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #35

I wouldn't vote for a republican Reasonable_Argument Jul 2012 #43

Might as well vote for them. Guns just aren't that important to most people. Hoyt Jul 2012 #44

Democrats suffer a compound penalty for their positions on gun restriction. Simo 1939_1940 Aug 2012 #45

Look, someone who is that much into guns ain't likely going to vote for a Democrat. Hoyt Aug 2012 #46

you need to get out more gejohnston Aug 2012 #49

No, but per the usual -- you dodge the main point. Simo 1939_1940 Aug 2012 #59

Yesterday I finally mailed back a letter instead of a check in response to a request Simo 1939_1940 Jul 2012 #20

Good on you, Simo. Callisto32 Jul 2012 #33

Thanks, Callisto. I also donated a few hundred to the Democratic Party, and hence Simo 1939_1940 Jul 2012 #39

Agreed. President Obama is a very smart man, and chose his words deliberately. friendly_iconoclast Jul 2012 #25
