It's become pretty apparent in the last few hours that the House of Representatives has gone back to the control of the Democratic Party for the first time 12 years. But is that a harbinger of DOOM for all gunowners? :scratchchin:
I don't think so. From the indications I've seen in the analysis during tonight's election coverage, the "new breed" of Democrat seems to be far more "conservative" than the people inhabiting DC already. :nono:
Example: The House seat that represents Asheville North Carolina (where I hope to make my retirement home someday) has flipped from Republican to Democrat. But the incoming Dem is an evangelical Born Again Christian, pro-life and Pro-GUN. :congrats:
That seems to be a common thread in these newbies. Not all of course, but in enough areas that I do believe that they'll be able to keep the Dems overarching objective of draconian gun controls from becoming a reality. :biggrin2:
I think the Republicans deserved to get "spanked." I hope it will bring them to their senses that in order to stay on top, they've got to adhere to the true conservative principles that have always driven the party until recently. I applaud the defeat of Lincoln Chaffee in Rhode Island. RINOs need to be expunged from the party. This guy, like his daddy before him never saw a gun grabbing scheme he didn't just love. :spankme:
I'm more than a little concerned about the prospective slate of GOP nominees for the White House in '08. I see lots of liberals and RINOs. :boese51: IOW....GUN GRABBERS. This election is now over. It's time to "ruck up" and start fighting for THE PRIZE in 2008!
