No, the Bush Administration has not betrayed gun rights...
Right. I note this My Republicans Right or Wrong apologist doesn't allow comments. The better to avoid alternative viewpoints I guess, kind of like the more famous gun grabbers do on their sites.
The old "Who else do they have to vote for so we can get them to eat anything we scrape onto the floor" crap gun owners conditioned these people to expect.
And y'know what? I bet he's right. Before this thing is over, we'll see plenty from "our side" fulfilling that expectation, and chastising those of us who won't for throwing away our vote and giving the election to the democrats.

I was a lot less nice than you, Bro! But I think that's par for the course... he he
So I see...
As both parties have become parties of big government, the Republican vs. Democrat argument is becoming meaningless (to me). I evaluate a candidate as a statist vs. anti-statist. Almost all the current candidates from both parties are huge statists.
Go Red Team!
Woo!

Hey, you might get shot by the shock troops, but at least they won't destroy your property and burn down your home after they shoot at you. See, there's a big difference between the Red Team and the Blue Team!
We have to enforce existing laws. Right, folks? We're all law-abiding people, and there are no excuses, because there are absolutely no uncertainties -- like government bodies specifically prohibited from violating certain liberties or expanding their powers; which are ignoring those prohibitions and redefining the limits of their own power.

Meh, I say, it is time for the Republican party to go the way of the Whigs.
If they can't at least get Thompson up there (though I am voting for Paul) I will in no way support the party come the end of the year.
Doublethink comes to mind:
"The idea of “doublethink” emerges as an important consequence of the Party’s massive campaign of large-scale psychological manipulation. Simply put, doublethink is the ability to hold two contradictory ideas in one’s mind at the same time. As the Party’s mind-control techniques break down an individual’s capacity for independent thought, it becomes possible for that individual to believe anything that the Party tells them, even while possessing information that runs counter to what they are being told." 1
Seems to fit quite nicely, you can drop Republican or Democrat right in front of "the Party" and not miss a beat.

J.D. Brooks hits it on the head. Why the dumbing down in schools, universities, the lying and half-truth telling in the media? The pols selling one out against the other and raining platitudes and unearned benefits on the masses? Numbed by lies,confused by sheer volume,harried by life,narcotized by rubbish, how could the public NOT swallow this garbage? The only way out is to think for yourself, and between govt' and media, you don't have to, thanks to their "spin". How else a line like, No, the Bush Administration has not betrayed gun rights, and recognizes an individual right to own a gun. Both parts of the statement are outright lies, smothered with the caveats of "don't throw out the law without considering what the D.C. govt's interest and intent was, and don't throw out our (unconstitutional) laws on the federal level without doing the same." The charade is, we intend to snuff out individual thought, freedom, and expression, and keeping the LEGAL status quo of the present will help us do it gradually like we've been doing for years, so that things are nice and calm and the sheep never know what happened. Of course, what THEY say is legal, is WHATEVER they say is legal, ad infinitum. They have this power, and they are not going to relinquish it, and they intend to have all of it. We, the people, do not matter, haven't for a long time, and according to their plan, never will. We have what the Colonists had, a virtual totally unresponsive monarchy, albeit with more clever town criers and speakers, crushing, ruinous, taxes, abolished rights, no say whatever in the operation of the country, no redress of grievences, kangaroo courts that judges run any way they see fit, the citizens harassed, burned, shot, beaten, whenever it suits the Crown, and laws that are senseless, brutal, and increasingly intrusive into everyones lives.Having the vote to combat this with is like have spit to put out a warehouse fire.
