Excerpt from The Federalist; Gun Control

"Aside from same-sex 'marriage,' there is at least one other cultural issue no Democrat running against President Bush wants to touch: gun control. Bill Clinton and Al Gore both tried to avoid picking up this political hot potato in their 1992, 1996 and 2000 presidential campaigns because gun control is unpopular in swing states such as Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and can harm a candidate's chances across the South. One consultant who worked for Wesley Clark's southern campaign said the best thing liberals can do during a gun-control debate is 'change the subject.' Not all Democrats agree, and some legislators on Capitol Hill plan to push gun-control measures up until the November election. ...Not all Democrats look forward to a partisan fight over gun-ownership rights. Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, who faces a tough re-election bid in pro-gun South Dakota, realizes the danger for both his campaign and the party's national ticket -- and is trying to discourage the push for gun control among his colleagues. Mr. Daschle's strategic loss on this issue could bring electoral gains for Republicans in the fall." --The Washington Times








There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.

Hypocrisy is the homage paid by vice to virtue.

Don't assume malice for what stupidity can explain.
