There's been a change.

Its no longer Senator John Warner. Its now Senator Mark Warner.

Well, Citizen, you're half right. It's no longer Senator John Warner; it's now Mark Warner.


But there's been no change :lol:

Mark Warner is junior senator, who has to do as he's told to stay a senator.

Unless the repubs can field a strong candidate who doesn't run on the Christian Right ticket, they've given up Virginia. As it stands today, I think an independent could beat the type of Republican candidates we've seen, and you need a strong organization with lots of money to defeat the Dem machine.

Webb is, uh, well, just like warner. So what if he is a former Marine. He is a disgrace to the uniform now. typical lowlife. If you in VA recall, Webb is the liar for hire that ran the campaign ad for Hussin O stating that the obamanist would pose no danger to our gun owner rights. I knew then that webb is a political, uh, harlot.

I think you have confused John Warner with Mark Warner.

As for the AWB, you can count on both Webb and Warner to oppose it.

The Holder nomination fight was not about guns: it was about the pardon of Mark Rich. Holder cannot deliver an AWB without the senate, which he does not have.

AL +1 :celebrate -1 :cuss:

gridlock that doesn't work.:banghead::banghead::banghead:



On the bright side, government corruption is over with this this joker.
He will never meet an government position that breaks the law for the next 4 years.
Freeing up much needed prison space for the rest of us.

Lets hope all that new national park money is for signs letting the people know you can carry now!!!

I think you are confused. VIrginia has no Republican Senators. Senator John Warner (R) Virginia left the Senate on January 3 2009 and was replaced by Senator Mark Warner (D) Virginia. Please do not get the two confused when making commentary. It is MARK Warner that is now screwing with us and it is Mark Warner that promised that Obama was not targeting firearms.

Cracks me up that McCain voted yea. Disn't McCain also vote yea for Hillary's confirmation? I thought when he was running Hillary and the liberals were the worst thing since burnt toast? I guess up there in that rarified air they are all just buddies after all. Sure makes me happy I didn't vote for that jackass, either.

I'm very disappointed in the Tennessee delegation...



hold onto your rights, because everything that we love as Americans is about to be changed.

the Constitution and the Bill of Rights contained therein stands or falls together...

I'll believe it when I see it.

As I said before, Warner is a junior senator who must do as he's told.

Much like Gillibrand did on this vote.

Can I hold you to this?
You can hold both Senators to it because both of them have promised to oppose it.

And yes, if they lied, I would expect you to waggle a :p at me at very least.

Sen. Warner is Presidential material who does not want to screw up his chances by not keeping his word.

I beg to differ. Presidents lead, they don't follow.

Well, wait a minute. Good presidents lead. Those we've had lately haven't exactly been role models.

Oooops. Here comes the political operative, again.

Sorry, Donk. The only time I see you in person or on the forum is when you're pitching the dems. Some of your arguments seem rather superficial sometimes.

Like the one above. Oh, yeah. Right. How many politicians have we come across who wereconcerned about screwing up their chances by not keeping their word? Seems like plenty of them knew and know they don't hurt their chances much by not keeping their word.

Rings as hollow as some of Hamilton's sales-pitch in The Federalist Papers.

So you're saying 75 senators were okay with the pardon of Mark Rich? All the more reason to vote the bastards out.

The description of the thread is, "Holder confirmed"... As in Eric Holder, the guy helped write the Assault Weapons Ban. The guy who believes the second amendment does not grant rights to individuals, the same one who sent a memorandum to the supreme court stating such. The guy fails at being "for the people."
He certainly fails at being "for the people", just like the cull that nominated him and the clowns that confirmed him.

Not sure if this has been posted before:

http://volokh.com/posts/1227228105.shtml

snip:

But at the least, the Reno-Holder brief accurately expressed the position of the Department of Justice when Janet Reno was Attorney General and Eric Holder was Deputy Attorney General. At the oral argument before the Fifth Circuit in United States v. Emerson, the Assistant U.S. Attorney told the panel that the Second Amendment was no barrier to gun confiscation, not even of the confiscation of guns from on-duty National Guardsmen.

No, didn't you listen to the hearings? Just like the other, tax cheating cabinet members, "It was a mistake".

All is forgiven now, and we certainly won't be doing any more of that!

Puke.
