Yeah, he's owned up to a mistake on that one. But it still bothers me. It's an example of getting taken in by the Beltway Collective. The whole BCFR affair was astro-turfed into significance in Washington. It bothers me that anyone who supposedly respects freedom as a major priority in their lawmaking would fall for it. It suggests that he might be vulnerable to getting fooled by the Collective again in the future.
Let's hope he learned a lesson from McCain-Feingold, and will be less likely to be taken in on other issues (universal healthcare?) in the future.
Molon Labe "Take them."
The reply of Leonidas Rex to the Persian Emperor after he demanded the Spartans lay down their arms at Thermopylae, an epithet adopted by the 2nd amendment adherents in the United States. *** Montani semper liberi "Mountaineers Are Always Free"
The motto of my home state, West Virginia. *** Para fides paternae patria.
"For our faith in the Founders faith"
Expressing solidarity with the Enlightenment, especially in its original, individualist political meaning.

Me too, or I'm really going to feel like a chump.
