Are you kidding me?
Novak: Bush looks wishy washy on the assault-weapons ban.
Begala: Kerry is hammering Bush for wimping out to the gun lobby on extending the assault weapon ban. Gun control is a tough issue for Democrats, but Kerry isn’t backing down an inch. He’s showing a lot more guts than Bush is.
By the way, just when has Bush ever stood up to a corporate lobby? Even once? When corporate lobbyists say jump, Bush is in the air before he can ask, “How high?” Kerry has taken positions at odds with labor, trial lawyers and other key Democratic constituencies. When will Bush ever stand up to his corporate patrons? He seems to believe in corporate infallibility.
What does the gun lobby have to do with corporate lobbyists?
