I've had my own anecdotals with old friends, here's a gentleman quoted in the Times about, "I believe my government is suppose to protect me but it has let me down. I resent having to defend myself; I shouldn't have to but at this point I don't feel like I have a choice."
America has a love-hate relationship with celebrity. We love to follow celebrities, but we also love to mock them. And secretly, we believe were better than they are.
Voters definitely believe Washington is corrupt - but most think its bipartisan.
No matter what the Bush administration does, the public is never going to believe they're doing everything they can in the Gulf. That's the box the administration is in.
This is the ultimate mommy party issue, if you believe that Democrats are the mommy party and Republicans are the daddy party.
We didn't get here overnight, we're not going to change it overnight. We at least want to make inquiries.
It's hard not to get down on the government when you see dysfunction play out on our TVs every day. Frankly, sometimes at every level of government.
Meanwhile, the Bush dynasty comes to an official end.
California has rules against assault weapons. It's just those rules are inherently so technical and have to do with cosmetic features, you can easily get around them with any sort of semi-automatic rifle.
A lot of Democrats ask and a lot of people ask, "Why is it necessary for people in this country, who are not in law enforcement, to have assault weapons?"
The idea now that we're going to fight terrorism through gun control I think is just utterly fatuous.
I don't get debate agains guns at all. Because we have it after every mass shooting. And now a terror attack. And the proposals that are talked about almost always have nothing to do with this specific event.
As soon as a Democrat or a liberal organization opens their mouth and says "We want to see this," it's going to go over the heads. And same way on the abortion debate, if they want to make a change, it is not going to come from a Republican, it's going to have to come from a Democrat.
If we have to have a real movement on this issue if you support gun control, it has to come from the Republican side.
