RETHUGs are on stage praising the defeat of thegun control bill

[malaise]

These fuckers are total and complete scumbags.
Fuck them and fuck the NRA and all the gun manufacturers.
I hope Democrats are saving all the clips for ads

1. Tweety is tearing them a new one n/t

[tridim]

2. It's almost like they know their party is dead and they're digging their own grave.

Because there is no political benefit to gloating about something 90% of the people oppose.

I guess they are that stupid.

[malaise]

4. They are but they are also stupid enough to gie the gun goons the all clear

to start shooting.

3. I think Toomey-Manchin still has enough of a chance to clear the Senate if given another chance

I know it faces a tougher uphill climb in the House, but clearing the Senate can give the bill some much-needed momentum. Since it's not going to be paired with any gun bans or magazine bans, I think this helps Toomey-Manchin greatly.

5. The rethugs must think there will not becany elections in the future. Why would they prefer to lie

About their reasons to vote against the background checks? Probably the RW news sources does not tell their audiences the bill has penalties for creating a national gun resister but the informed knows better. Maybe just because it is 90/10 issue is not a good enough reason to vote yes. The best thing to happen is their poll numbers have gone down, keep it up.

Current and former Republican leaders dominated the proceedings at the opening day of the NRA annual convention in Houston, Texas, with speakers defending the gun lobby's hardline resistance to new safety reforms. Sarah Palin, the former vice presidential candidate and governor of Alaska, led the charge, accusing President Obama of "exploiting tragedy" in his push for new regulations to prevent future Newtown disasters.

Palin lambasted Obama for "putting grieving parents on Airforce One" – a reference to the president's mobilisation of parents of some of the 20 young children who died at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, to back his proposed gun control measures. "Obama has made them the constant backdrop of his campaigning."

She added: "Many Americans are desperate to respond to the tragedy, but emotion won't make anybody safer. Emotion is not leadership, it's the opposite of leadership."

Only one speaker had the courage openly to speak of "victory". Ted Cruz, the senator for Texas who led Republican opposition to new gun regulations in last month's US senate vote, told the rapt NRA crowd that "every vote that would have undermined the Second Amendment was voted down. That's your victory, it's the victory of the American people."
