Sorry I missed the pun Uber.
: 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)
I blame the fact that most democrats feel the need to hide the fact that they're actually...democrats. Putting somewhat unimportant priorities first. I think I agree with Michael Moore, Democrats have forgotten that they're out there to help the common man, not forget him. Low voter turnout may have something to do with it as well (the stat that 20% of the nation actually voted for Bush, for example)
: 1b) Do you, as an American, feel that this banning assault weapons would be fair?
Oh YES!
: 1c) (Taking this question from CNN.com) Should President Bush take a higher profile on his support for the ban on semiautomatic weapons?
Right now, yes.
: 2) What SHOULD be Bush's top 3 priorities be?
Economy...quit giving the rich the upper hand.
Education...higher teacher pay, less money spent on war, more spent on our schools.
Making it a priority to begin peaceful relations with Arab nations, instead of ignoring them.
: 4) Nominate the next leader of your country:
Tough call...I think I'll go with myself.
