In 2018? The low information voters will have long since forgotten --- unless NRA redeems itself by making sure that nobody forgets Manchin the Traitor's treason and anti-constitutional acts.

Note to the Man Chin: Go see Juan McLame. He’s just down the hall from you.

There is a leftist column out there today theorizing that this thing failed because the government is out of money and there weren’t resources available for the required Cornhusker Kickbacks.

And as Gallup reminded us this week, 96% of Americans think there are more pressing issues than guns.

I am in that 4%, and I wonder how many other conservatives are in that category. There is no more pressing issue than the people retaining the power to resist the federal government should that government (unlikely as that may seem) spiral out of control. Protecting the Second Amendment is the most pressing issue, especially when it is under attack. That is followed by protecting the rest of the Constitution, which the Second Amendment allows us to defend, and then cutting the size and cost of government to balance the budget and pay off the debt.

Toomey hopes to redeem himself.

The memory (and video) of the disgusting Obama slobbering all over Toomey with admiration while seething with hatred for the opponents of this legislation after the vote yesterday will be with Toomey forever. That alone should tell Toomey he was on the wrong side of this issue. This should also send a message to Marco Rubio on immigration as well.

Add a rider that requires UNIVERSAL background check for all political candidates and all elected and appointed officials, and if you can get that to pass, we'll talk about extending it to gun owners.

Yes, Toomey is going to be beaten bloody by his primary opponent with ads using that Obama speech yesterday.

I like Toomey and this is the first time he’s done something that I disagree with. IMHO trying to primary him will be a mistake. We need to replace PA’s OTHER Senator, the Dumbocrat Casey. Get the guy (or gal) you would have replaced Toomey with and use ‘em to replace Casey and then we’ll talk.

Exactly. A year or two before his election, Manchin will start making a bunch of speeches that get play in the W VA press that make him sound conservative on issues. He’ll get photographed hunting and fishing and talking about family values. He’ll get quoted slamming Democrats in Washington for being out of touch. And the press will protect him by not writing about his actual record. The low information voters will think he’s the same “conservative Democrat” that they thought they elected before and vote for him.

Toomey is truly an idiot. First DADT now this. He’s gone in 2016.

A full background check by the FBI, same as for a security clearance. Results made public before a candidate can get on the ballot. Same for appointees before senate hearings. I have been saying this for years. Many people I have spoken to think this is a good idea. Politicians, not so much.

Yes Mr Toomey as a Pennsylvania voter I can assure you that you are indeed done.
You can not ask people to vote for you as a conservative and then back plans to whittle away our Constitutional rights. You WILL NOT get my vote again........
