Whcih goes to show the the GOP is extremely skilled at deliberately spreading lies about the Democrats, and that the Dems need to catch up to them in the PR dept.

> This is interesting, and illustrates my pitting of the DNC. As a gun toting Democrat from the hunting state of MN, I can attest to being in the minority. But I don’t think any of my fellow gun toters that happen to be Republican actually believe that the Dems want to take their hunting equipment away. Is this your actual feelings **jJohn** , or are you showing a bit of bluster?
Bluster, based on the posts of other who talked about fearing anti-gun Democrats.

CNN Exit polls.

Huh? A stretch that people who might normally care about the environment are more concerned about terrorism? According to the same CNN exit poll, 17% of Americans considered terrorism their main issue. Did they just materialize from thin air, or did they drop the importance of other issues because of this one?
