She's just like Teddy Kennedy, Chuck Schumer, and a host of other gun grabber,
who most certainly are representative of the Demcratic party as a whole.

She could get there in most of the blue states...

The democrat _people_ aren't - they're union members, a lot of 'em, that aren't
at work on the 1st day of hunting season. They're a lot of the makeup of the
citizen's militias that sprang up in the mid 90's, that the news media tried to
make out to be racist, but they were actually pro gun ownership people that
were scared that the government was about to turn into something it was never
meant to be, taking as evidence the events at Ruby Ridge and Waco.

The democrat elite - politicians, hollywood types, and others, _are_ against
gun ownership. They know they can't come out and say so, especially now that
we (the NRA) have taught them the politcal realities, but they'd sure _like_ to
collect up all the guns.

Yep. These are the democrat people. The democrat elite even have guns, too.
Its just that the democrat elite think that _they_ should be the _only_ ones
that have them.

We all do - the democrat elite just want their stashes to be the only
stashes...

Yep - but these aren't the politicians - these are the union members. The
democrat politicos _do_ want to ban the guns - except for theirs, of course.
