When we're all watching how "furious" the chosen one is at BP, look what's going on under the radar.

This is why it is very important who you vote for president (the president appoints Supreme Court justices) and for US Senator. In order for a treaty to become binding it must be signed by the president and passed by a two thirds majority in the Senate. Right now I don't see this treaty passing the Senate even with the Democrats in control since there are some moderately "pro gun" democrats around who would probably not vote for this. Senators such as Ben Nelson, Jon Tester (Montana), Jimm Webb (Virginia) and some others.

So therefore it is very important to vote pro gun in every case. Usually the best choice is the Republican Candidate. If McCain would have been president we wouldn't have to deal with supreme court nominee Elena Kagan and McCain would probably not sign such a draconian treaty such as the UN Small Arms Treaty.

Dan W:
Wanna bet what Ben Nelson would do if his vote was the deciding one?

DanClrk51:
Yeah you're right Dan W. I don't trust Ben Nelson either and will definitely vote to throw him out in 2012. I think if he were the deciding vote he probably would vote for a UN Gun Ban. He has already voted for an anti-gun supreme court justice: Sonia Sotomayor.

Eric:
My thought is that Nelson wouldn't vote for this.  You have much more to fear from RINOs like Dukakis in Maine than from moderate Dems from conservative states like Nelson and many others.  Their would be a significant filibuster to a treaty such as this, and all the libs in the Senate could do nothing to stop it.  The real fear would be a lame duck vote over Christmas with few people there to block or vote against it.
