real issues.

Guns? Not an issue. What was the last gun legislation to pass since the Brady Bill? There are none on the table. We have the gun issue 99% resolved, and I suppose there's quibbling over a loophole here and there. Of course we SUPPORT the second amendment. But it is not under attack, so why do we feel the need to DEFEND it?

So all we have to do is blow it off. Nobody's trying to take away anybody's guns.

God and Guts were thrown in for the aliteration. Those DLCers are real poets. Not worth discussing in a political forum, tho.

If you want to put the repubs on the defensive here's what you do:

Republicans are shipping your jobs overseas.
Republicans are not responsible with your money.
Republicans run up deficits
Republicans borrow money that our kids will have to pay back
Republicans help the very rich.
Republicans are against affordable healthcare
Republicans are beholden to big business interests
Republicans let white collar criminals go unpunished
Republicans funnel taxpayer money into private corporations
Republicans hurt international trade through ham-fisted diplomacy
Republicans aren't interested in Homeland Security
Republicans want to destroy public education
Republicans leading us to war and avoid military duty themselves.

sorry, but "see, we think guns are okay too" will not get us any votes.
