This makes for a nice, strong statement but I haven't seen any evidence to back it up in the slightest. In fact, all that I've heard has been Kerry repeating over and over that he won't cede control of the US to the UN.

Now the REALLY fucked up stuff has widespread bipartisan support. Take, for example, bankruptcy reform. I know personally one of the people who was called in to help draft the reform, he was a professor of mine in Law School. If that passes, and eventually it will (in 2001, it got killed by 9/11, but IIRC, it passed the senate at better than 95-5.) that will COMPLETELY alter the equation, and will strip people of majorly needed protection, unless it's new provisions are overturned on 13th amendment grounds, which isn't that likely.

I'm in agreement here. This is a blatant bone thrown to the credit companies. Millions of dollars in campaign contributions can work miracles.

Recently, when his campaign was asked about favorite guns, his campaign said he owned a "chinese communist assault rifle". Turns out it's not an AK-47, it's a Mosin-Nagant M-1891 bolt-action derivative, with a 5 shot non-detachable magazine. If they consider a 100+ year old bolt action rifle to be an assault weapon, what gun DON'T they consider to be an Assault Weapon?

So someone in his campaign doesn't know shit....that hardly proves that Kerry will repeal the 2nd amendment, not to mention that the majority of Americans would never support such a move.
I haven't yet.
