: 1) How could our nation elect members of congress that would not vote for a ban on assault weapons? (Tom Delay reports that their will not be enough votes in favor of the ban)
Because most people are idiots. Apparently they need Kalashnikovs to go deer hunting.
: 1b) Do you, as an American, feel that this banning assault weapons would be fair?
Civilian ownership of assault weapons is asinine. I support rifle ownership for hunting, ambivalent on the handgun issue, but assault rifles have no place in public.
: 1c) (Taking this question from CNN.com) Should President Bush take a higher profile on his support for the ban on semiautomatic weapons?
Yes, and the current ban's loopholes need closed. New legislation is needed not simply a renewal of the current law.
: 2) What SHOULD be Bush's top 3 priorities be?
End the heavy-handed, intimidating foreign policy (look how big OUR dicks are!), stop giving tax cuts to the wealthy at the expense of the working man, and run a secular government.
: 3) If you live in another nation, what do you think of America, and it's foreign policy?
I have lived in the US all my life, but I can look in the mirror realize that might does not make right.
: 4) Nominate the next leader of your country:
Douglas Adams. Too bad that he's neither American nor alive.
