With friends like these who needs enemies(New AWB in house)

Post by slowpoke »

So AWB renewal in the house.
Sponsered by:
* Rep. Mark Kirk [R-IL]
* Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [R-FL]
* Rep. Michael Ferguson [R-NJ]
* Rep. Christopher Shays [R-CT]
* Rep. Michael Castle [R-DE]
:oops: And this is going to help the Republicans get back in office how?
Do they really think we'll blame the democrats for their bill? :o
Or are they trying to get the Democrats to kill the bill so they loose the gun block for the Republicans? :oops:

that bill was put up some 5 months ago and only has 6 sponsors... hardly a threat...

the real one is coming next year

Still, those six should be out of a job after the next Republican primary. We need to find conservative challengers in their districts and back them to the hilt. This should be a career-ending move on their parts. :evil:

Are there any board conservatives in their districts?

I used to live in Mark Kirk's district, but I have since moved.

That bill's PRINCIPAL sponsor is Mark Kirk from IL, which would stand to lose a whole bunch of firearm manufacturing facilities in Illinois if it was re-enacted and broadened.

How can this turd-bird claim to be a Republican???

At one point during his career he was a normal Republican with a military background with a conservationist bent. He's gotten really chummy with enviroweenies in the past few years, though, as more Democrats have flocked into his district. Combine that with lots of impatient people who wanted the war to end in Iraq shortly after it began in 2003 and you've got a Republican whose constituents are calling to replace him unless he starts acting like a liberal.
