  great goss guns: doublethink

On further inspection of Goss's voting record, I see that he voted for decreasing the gun waiting period from 3 days to 1 day. Interesting... Somehow I thought the CIA was supposed to prevent crime. I'd think that maybe reducing quick access to guns might be part of that?

He also appears to be a pretty staunch supporter of the death penalty, yet opposed to abortion, and voted to make it a crime to harm a fetus during another crime. So let me get this straight. It's ok to make gun access easier, but once someone gets a gun they better not harm a fetus or else they might get the death penalty? Does any of this make sense? Or is it just another example of Repub doublethink?

Hi - Jane, here. I gave you that Kerry bumper sticker yesterday.
Top of your site today is a link (powered by Google I think?) to gear for the Bush/Cheney campaign. Eeeeyuh!
Ouch!
For a minute there I thought I was in the wrong place.
Love your site! Thank you!
 
hi Jane- thanks for the comment. I posted about the ad links a few days ago... it's apparently connected to how often I mention the B--ush word! I've been trying to use abbreviations (W, repub) and to use Kerry and Democrats more to influence it. We'll see how it works out!

ps- thanks for the sticker-it's going on my car tomorrow.
