That Kerry voted for all those gun control measures though, because he could have gotten all those votes from outdoorsmen pissed off at Bush for his scorched Earth environmental policies. Of course Kerry wouldn't advocate banning hunting arms, but it still looks bad.

I live in Texas, and I can tell you that in a state like this or Tennessee for example, Kerry sealed his fate (in these types of states) by not respecting the Second Amendment.

The Democratic Party is the party that best protects the Consitution and civil liberties now that the GOP has been taken over by religious extremists who don't believe in the separation of church and state, and who want to create an orwellian police state with Ashcroft at the helm. If we drop the gun control agenda, we can then reclaim the center of the country, and take back the House, Senate, and White House as in the time of LBJ.
