Nice try, but you’ll never win your case with logic and common sense proposals. The NRA has made boatloads of money exploiting the paranoia of people who are convinced that every common sense safeguard regarding guns is but a push on the slippery slope toward banning all firearms. Talking sense about gun control is an exercise in futility.
Back to the OP:
Guiliani? I don’t think so. On 9/10/01 he was just another politician with a closet full of skeletons and serious problems with marital fidelity. Since then the only ghouls that have milked 9/11 for more political gain are Osama and Bush. If he couldn’t even stay in the batter’s box against Hillary, why step up to the plate against the likes of Kerry and Edwards and Gore?
McCain? He’s been living off his POW exerience for decades. Time to give it a rest. Other that being an ex-POW, what is so special about him? He’s just a cantankerous old fart with an Arizona-sized ego. He hasn’t the temperment to be president nor is he in posession of any great vision of where he would take the nation.
Still, even the Rockie Pubbies will do almost anything that serves the established business interests. That’s a definite improvement over the religious-right, paleocon, and neocon wings of the party, but not by much.
My understanding is she parted ways with the elimination of filtered smoke stacks on coal powered electric plants. It is proven technology that Cinton s group ,through lawsuits ,were forcing plants to do. The crap spurting out has contributed ,and some say caused, to many emphazema problems. Sickness and death has been put in the thousands. The courts had ruled the coal plants had to clean up. hen Bush got in they stopped evrything in its tracks and reversed rulings. They stopped hundreds of lawsuits forcing them to clean up. So if you and your children are sucking on inhalers .You will continue to do so.
They usually balance the ticket geographically. (I.e., gotta have a Southerner, but only one.) When’s the last time a ticket was balanced ideologically, and won?
Yes, he was known to be on the right side of the party. A social conservative was the label back then. I voted for Bush in the Primary and then got pissed when they kowtowed to the Right and added Quayle to the ticket. I voted 3rd party in the Election.
