this is exactly my point. If our elected overlords had any respect for the constitution they swore to uphold I would be more inclined to agree with VM.

Well we all know that Obama would turn America into a socialist "worker's paradise" tomorrow if he could, complet with Stasi style secret police and German brownshirts to boot.
It's important to remember that he CAN'T do that, and focus on the more important battles, like ensuring we don't get some azzhat like Christie in the WH who can talk his moderate RINO buddies into ratifying it.
Obama has actually alienated a decent segment of the liberal base with his progressive agenda that's left them in the dust. We need to drive that wedge while supressing the social agenda mongers AND the fiscally liberal RINO's that are willing to ride the country into the ground.
Today, I will be writing to both US Senators, my US Representative, the Senate Minority Leader and the Speaker of the House - urging them to take the time to reiterate to the President their already clearly stated opposition to this treaty and to remind them of their committment to oppose this Treaty (in the case of the Senators) should it be presented for ratification in the Senate.

BTW - if the US Small Arms Treaty doesn't get submitted, and should the next President be a Republican, he should formally withdraw the US President's signature from the treaty. Pres Bush did that for the Kyoto Protocols on Carbon Emissions. The President's signature, as President not as a private citizen, doesn't belong to him it is an instrument of the US government and can be withdrawn by future Presidents.

Don't tell me you fell for that nonsense.
Yeah, tell me that while waving a flag and playing America the Beautiful and handing me a sammich and I'll do just about anything.
The Senate will never ratify any treaty, because that is not what the Senate does.

I don't think I will ever vote for a Democrat again. Obama wasn't anything like this in his first term. This does not seem to be the same man. In the Republican primaries, I had voted for Ron Paul. But when Romney was nominated I could not bring myself to vote for a rich man whose grandkids were millionaires, even though some of them were still in diapers. But now I wish I had voted for Romney. I guess in my case, from now on it will come down to voting for the most Pro 2nd Ammendment candidate, I guess. Doesn't matter about anything else, I guess.
