8. You misunderstand the bill.
Iowa already had concealed carry, but the decision rested with the local sheriff. So Iowa had 99 different standards,ranging from no-issue to any-issue. And their system was open to corruption. The sheriff could show favoritism to those who donated to his campaign. All that this bill does is set uniform standards throughout the state and take away the local sheriff's ability to use it corruptly.

15. Believe what? That the NRA is to the GOP like Fox News is to the GOP?
'Fair and balanced?'

19. Isn't this just making you look like a Fox news correspondent?
You have received evidence to show this is not something only supported by Republicans yet you continue to push your own agenda.

Are you really just a master of satire to get all of us pumped up?

13. Ouch! That one should leave a mark...
Or at least it would, if the poster was capable of seeing beyond his prejudices.

14. Tell it like it is, Rosa Parks!
The NRA has been so unfair to the Republican party.

We shall overcome...

You wear your ignorance proudly.

18. Sometimes, it's necessary to deny facts that don't align with dogma.
Edited on Tue Mar-30-10 03:20 PM by friendly_iconoclast
We need to protect warm, comforting myth from the iron grip of reality. Where would we be if people start asking
questions we don't want to answer?

21. This just in... Fox News employed Alan Colmes.
This convinces me 100% that Fox News is fair and balanced.
