The lesson to be learned here is that if you elect a dumbocrat, no matter if he/she has a AAA+++++++ rating from the NRA, he/she will always be suspect, because in the end they are still Democrats.

Are there any town halls anymore or are all of the Senators and Congressmen too afraid of the serfs?

We are talking about this because Benghazi and F&F have dead bodies attached to them and the blood goes right up the the Presidents chair in the Oval Office.

Obama wants us to talk gun-control, which isn’t going anywhere, but not talk Benghazi and F&F or the rest of his corruptions with TARP, et al.

Let’s put those stories into news and breaking news and change the beat, eh? Stop letting them wag us.

So it is HIS town hall meeting? Hmmm, did he build that?

These are the arrogant politicians who need to face their Thomas Jefferson moment.

He is a public SERVANT.

People, everything about this government is upside down from what the Founders created and we are letting them get away with it.

That, and the NRA needs to quit kissing these guys’ asses, licking their boots, and bending over for them.

My brave representatives have virtual town hall meetings, now. All are Dems and all, apparently, fear the traditional tow hall meetings.

We had a nice protest outside his office in Martinsburg on Saturday.

Ultimately, I think this will turn out in favor of Liberty loving Patriots. Self-defense is not a partisan issue. Equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans believe self-defense is a right. I am hoping this will be a good reminder to those who voted for Obama’s big government agenda that any government big enough to provide you with everything is big enough to take it all away.

In short, I hope Democrats push “gun control” relentlessly, fail spectacularly and in doing so mobilize a pro-2A voter turnout in 2014 that sends every last Dem up for re-election home. Then we can get on with throwing Biden and Obama out on their gun grabbing asses.

Optimistic to be sure, but gun control is a big loser at the ballot box IMO. May it always remain so.

“I see no movement, no talk, no bills, no nothing”

That ceased to be true today. I'm popping corn and watching this Rat.

Even the Republicans need reminding. Most of the time they live in that DC hothouse where the media are in a full-court press on the issue - "gun control is popular - here, look, all our polls say so." You hear enough of that, you tend to believe it a little even if you know better.

My guys have heard from me. Their own views on the topic are well-known and one of them at least made it his principal issue. But it doesn't hurt to remind them, because it makes them feel better about bucking the Beltway tide.

The Democrates I know talk against racism and what not, but, guess what, each time we drive through a ghetto they lock their doors and speed up like cowards.

I tell them: come on, slow down, let’s talk to your culture and your people.

They are full of garbage.

They all talk of support of Trayvon, but none of them would walk in the dark street with him.

Same thing at the State Department whining Bush sent them to missions in Iraq, but now they support Hillary’s Move On?

This is the typical coward who will take the life of the unborn for political convenient points at parties, but then will cower in fear when they meet their “maker” about to take their useless lives away.

I hate the Democrate coward rhetoric.

No. In the end, they are ALL communists.

The “His” to whom you refer is Baron Hill (D-IN), and he was thrown out of office for that. So he learned the hard way that he did not, in fact, build that.

Manchin ran as a conservative but so far as I can tell hasn’t cast a single vote that could be construed conservative. His votes on everything money related make him just another big spender. He’s had numerous chances to oppose Dingy Harry’s krap but has failed to lift a lip never mind a finger. You folks in WV are on your own but had best take Manchin to a series or proper “schools” because it’s obvious from here that he’s just itchin’to sell you out.

Manchin said in part that he’s seen “——no bills-—” How about if some of you WV’s ask him now if he’s seen Foonsteen’s really BIG BILL? Don’t see how he could be missing that one or has he taken up lying thru his teeth just to keep up his demo membership?
