Gotta throw my two cents in here.

It is not inconsistent to be an environmentalist and an RKBA gunner. I love to backpack, and I love to backpack where I don't run into man-made crap. In effect, the wilderness. Utah is a great example of some of the most wonderful sites on the planet, and there is nothing like going into areas which haven't been trashed by four-wheelers, etc. Just plain old natural settings.

Whenever I backpack, there is a P232 with me.

Bush has done very little for the environment, but RKBA is much more important to me. It's all about balance.

Regarding health care and the expense, that is a major issue for all Americans. I think Bush really screwed the pooch by not allowing the government to negotiate best prices for the Medicare drug benefits program. My health insurance went up 16% last year, and I had no claims. (I also am self-employed, so I had to pay this cost, not some amorphous corporation.) This is not a democrat or republican issue, it is an American issue.

YMMV
