I belong to the NRA, voted for John McCain, I agree with what's being said here but saying it here is preaching to the choir.
Seven years ago I was dating woman that had actually been on the Million Mom March with HRC. As we got to know each other she became less afraid of guns. I took her to a Vintagers, she had a great time, so much so that she enrolled in NY's "Becoming an Outdoors Woman" course, went away for a weekend and learned how to shoot rifle & shotgun. She sees things differently now.
This is how things are changed, by convincing the undecided, one at a time. Venting here may feel good but doesn't really change anything.
The energy that's going into these posts would be better directed towards a forum such as
http://theobamaforum.com or
The NY Times Forums .Take the fight to the people that need convincing.
Go find a liberal and start a dialogue, with respect and rationality. Remember, these are public forums, open for the world to see. Printing things that mention HRC & kneepads in the same paragraph, while probably raising a giggle from the rest of the teenagers in the locker room, does nothing for our credibility. Stick to the facts and be above reproach, right will win.
