Bush should have picked a moderate. Why he did not, I have no idea.

You assume Junior-George picked Cheney. It is more in character with his history in business and as governor that Cheney was picked for him.

Lizzie, I tend to base my opinions on first-hand, real life experience.

The gun-owners I know are through my wives family. They are honest, hard-working, good people. They like to hunt deer. They eat everything they shoot. (and when I'm lucky, I do too.) I am a little more to the center regarding gun control but do not consider it a major factor about whom I will choose for president.

To be quite frank, I will not (as apparently you have) allow most popular media outlets scare me into not voting for someone through their ridiculous scare tactics. (Dick Chaney wants to shoot your children!)

I find that gun ownership is far less of a real threat to me then , say, the exchange of nuclear secrets and the allowance of the Loral Corporation to ship missile technology to a communist regime that is intent on striking up another cold war with us and empowering themselves by feeding a million or so dollars directly through Al (Duh) Gore's hands and into the DNC.

That is IMO, a true betrayal of every Americans security. We have been sold out by Bill Clinton and his henchmen (led by Al (Doy) Gore.

At least I want somebody who is a patriot.

re:Did anybody see Matt Lauer take apart Cheney on the Today show?

Didn't that guy major in teleprompter in college?

1 rule. A television camera does not amplify the importance nor the validity of any opinion

<<because he voted against a ban on plastic guns which can get through airline metal-detectors, that even the NRA supported. >>

You mean the Glock? If it was banned half the police would be unarmed. No, it won't get through metal-detectors. The barrel, sear, firing pin and springs are steel and the ammo is brass and lead. The NRA has always been pro Glock.
