Hillary Clinton has re-opened her sharp attack on Barack Obama's position on guns, with a mailer in Indiana that seeks to raise questions about him with both supporters and opponents of gun rights. The mailing -- perhaps the sharpest-edged of Clinton's five negative mail pieces in Indiana -- casts him as a typical politician, saying different things to different audiences. It also revives his damaging comments in San Francisco that small town people cling to guns. Then, making the harsh case more broadly, the mailer asks: "What does Barack Obama really believe?" The piece is particularly striking coming from Clinton, who has been seen for most of her career as a firm advocate of gun control, but more recently has emerged -- without dramatically shifting her stance on specific issues -- as a defender of the Second Amendment who fondly recalled being taught to shoot by her grandfather in Scranton. Saint Obama and the 2nd Amendment
Poster Comment: Even Hillary is to the right of Obama on guns.

I think all of them--Clinton, McCain and Obama--need to prove how much they respect the second amendment and go hunting with Cheney. And I hope Cheney gets in some target practice so he could do a little better than that flesh wound on the lawyer.
funny ;P
Glad you liked it. I thought that would be a good way for them to prove how much they love guns and respect our right to keep them. If they would go hunting with Cheney that would go a long ways, wouldn't it? Of course it could be their last trip but that wouldn't be too great a sacrifice. I am willing that they make it.
