From: "Tom Charnock", [EMAIL PROTECTED] We see lots of comments about how our shooting bodies should / should not act. Here is a page that shows how the NRA (USA of course - NOT UK) beat the pressures from Clinton Half way down is the key bit, talk about not taking prisoners!! http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_010901/vacation1/stac.html COPY of Text as follows ============================================ HOW DID THE NRA SUCCEED? THERE’S A LESSON IN THIS FOR US ALL Copyright Premiere Radio Networks 2000 Bill Clinton has admitted that one of his enemies and targets outmanoeuvred him. Der Shlick Meister told to a union group that he was out-smarted - by the National Rifle Association. During his farewell tribute from the AFL-CIO, Clinton dwelled at length on his long-standing belief that the Democrats have missed the boat on the gun issue - and suffered at the polls as a consequence. Clinton added that an attempt to demonize gun owners would only backfire, because many of them are union members. Clinton said, "The truth is that most of you people who are NRA members are good, God-fearing Americans out there, wouldn't break the law for anything on earth and they get spooked by these fear campaigns." He also blamed himself for failing to make the case that tougher gun control laws posed no threat to sportsmen. What can we learn from this? What did the NRA do to outmanoeuvre Bill Clinton? Did the NRA ever give in, for example? Did the NRA compromise? Did they share power? Did they back down? Did they attempt to portray themselves as compassionate and misunderstood? When Wayne LaPierre of the NRA said that he thought Bill Clinton was comfortable with the level of violence in this country because it gave him an opportunity to argue for more gun laws, LaPierre didn't back down in the face of cacophonous reaction to his words. He repeated them even louder! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The lesson to learn from the NRA is that you don't back down. You don't share power. You don't compromise. You don't try to engage in compassion, as defined by liberal Democrats - and you don't try to make them your friends. You set out to properly define liberals and defeat them within the confines of the political arena. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Study the way the NRA did this, folks. Trent Lott, you might want to study Wayne LaPierre and Charlton Heston. You've got your number one nemesis, Bill Clinton, admitting that he was out-maneuvered by the NRA. Somebody did it. Follow their lead because this is not a liberal country. Conservatism wins elections.
