you believe in the second amendment.

you say you have guns to protect your family, and that anyone who opposes that will not get your vote, in fact you will vote against them. Fine. so if it is Rudy "no habeus corpus' Guiliani versus an anti-gun Democrat, you will vote to eliminate habeous corpus. If it is a republican in favour of warrentless search and seizure, versus an anti-gun Democrat, you will vote against the fourth in favour of the second. if it is a Republican in favour of creating a more Christian state versus an anti-gun democrat, you will vote against the First amendment as well. If you don't support the Democratic candidate in 2008, don't pretend you care about "the ENTIRE Bill of Rights" cause that is total bullshit, you have said very clearly that you only care about the Second Amendment, and not 1, or 3-10. you are a one-issue voter, you don't care enough about anything else to override that one issue. As long as you get to keep your guns, nothing else matters, right?

oh, and let's talk about 'protecting your family' with your guns. your attachment to guns is a direct cause of air pollution, water pollution, departure of high-wage jobs to India, a war of choice in Iraq, the refusal of the US to address climate change, the gutting of state-funded higher education, the destruction of unions and attendant worker's rights, the direct challenges to abortion rights, the refusal increasing concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few, and the destruction of the US' image and prestige abroad. tell me again how this is protecting your family? you are protecting your kidsw by killing their educational opportunities, destroying their environment and wrecking their economic, cultural and political futures. Some protection those guns give you, huh?

"It's an awesome achievement for one family to produce two of the four most unpopular presidents in modern times. If there were a Mount Rushmore for rejection, the Bushes would have half the place to themselves." -Bruce Reed, Slate.com “Thought is only a flash in the middle of a long night, but the flash that means everything. - Henri Poincaré
