Way to Strict

I hope Sanford wins now, I'm disgusted with his behavior but this AG is disgusting and Obamalo;

Good, now lets get a good replacement!

I wonder what Obama would do if you were a Homosexual who shares Christian Faith. Call for Court Martial or call of congratulations?

He’ll send a video of himself reading a telepromtor or return something else to David Cameron. Glad to see the Queen to it seriously.

Hope many Freepers can attend.

He attacks people when they are alive and lets them rest in peace in death, some class by Rotten.

Thanks for the heads up on the EPA, had heard about the Missouri Hwy Patrol on Dana Show.

How about get rid of State Income Tax
Write Personhood amendment
Have an actual balanced budget

Portman’s read on the Constitution depends on what his kid does. Better keep an eye on what Will’s up to, that will determine his vote!!

Noting History

Well the lady from Hollywood, Scotland, and Tennessee wants to be a Kentucky Senator, she picked the right person to run against, we’ve seen how McConnell can’t stand up to Dumbo Joe and Dingy Harry. Dems have Gov and the State House and she will have a ton of money!!

http://www.sj-r.com/breaking/x1037519821/Ill-House-OKs-amendments-banning-semi-auto-guns

The Illinois House on Tuesday voted in favor of bans on semi-automatic assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines, though the proposals still face several legislative battles before they could become law.

The approved proposals were six amendments to a bill that House Speaker Michael Madigan left blank on purpose, and they were okayed in an unusual process that Madigan began using last week to allow legislators to debate at length on contentious topics. The House still must approve the full piece of legislation for it to move to the Senate, and none of the six votes taken Tuesday as lawmakers debated what would go into the measure had the same support as what is required for a bill to pass the House.

One of the amendments would make it a felony for anyone to sell, purchase or transfer a military-style assault weapon. Should the amendment become law, it would make it illegal for civilians to possess these types of weapons after a 300-day period following the measure’s enactment.

Chicago Democratic Rep. Edward Acevedo, who sponsored two of the amendments, said civilians shouldn’t own such weapons because they were designed for “mass destruction.”

“These weapons are not for hunting. ... They’re designed to kill a group of people at one time,” Acevedo said.

Acevedo said the weapons include those that were used by the shooters in the massacres at a movie theater in Colorado and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut last year.

But some Democrats and Republicans argued that the state shouldn’t decide what guns people should be allowed to have to protect their families.

Rep. Frank Mautino, a Spring Valley Democrat, also argued that a “fatal flaw” in Acevedo’s assault-weapon possession proposal was that it does not address what current assault-weapon owners should do with their firearms.

Mautino said the bill “accidentally makes felons of tens of thousands of Illinois citizens” who already own a military-style weapon.

The amendments were approved with Democratic votes only.

Republicans refused to cast votes. GOP Rep. Dennis Reboletti of Elmhurst said Madigan’s procedure puts politics before public safety.

“Why do we continue to play these games of going amendment by amendment?” Reboletti said.

Republicans have strongly opposed Madigan’s new floor-debate style. He has also used his “weekly order of business” process to discuss concealed carry and pension proposals, and Republicans also refused to vote on pension amendments Thursday.

Halfway through Tuesday’s debate, someone on the Republican sided shouted, “Stop the circus!”

Tuesday’s amendments also called for forcing individuals who would be exempted from the ban, such as members of the armed forces and jail wardens, to store their guns with a locking device that renders them inoperable or under a key or combination lock.

Agreed. Boy Scouts need to get rid of the people who hired these performers, her video is about how she is trying to hookup with this guy and he isn’t interested in her because he likes guys.

It would be great if we could get more than 10,000 tommorrow.

Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, Richard Hanna of New York, why would a hispanic Republican support Homosexual marriage?

Vote Tuesday February 26th 6AM-7PM if you live 2nd District IL 16 Dems, 5 RPubs on ballot should have been title

Vote Tuesday February 26th 6AM-7PM if you live 2nd District IL 16 Dems, 5 RPubs on ballot should have been title

Vote Tuesday February 26th 6AM-7PM if you live 2nd District IL 16 Dems, 5 RPubs on ballot should have been title

Tough decision, your vote can make a big difference in a race where a State Senator Hutchinson just dropped out last Sunday and will be one of 15 candidates on Dem ballot. Only 4 Republicans, Eric Wallace is most familiar name there.

The Golden Rule, if trying to steal Gun Owners Gold, you could leave with more lead than you want.

Need a good crowd on Wednesday supporting 1 man, 1 woman marriage.

Nice, they should also sue NY in Fed Court.

Thanks Illinois Sheriff’s for standing with the 2nd Amendment. No gun bans.

So 6 months later they are going to ignore a 2 year review to a President and one of his interest groups that hate the Boy Scouts and have cost them to spend millions to defend it in court. This President couldn't be bothered to make the Centennial of the Boy Scouts a few miles from the White House.

In protest to Cuomo the Confiscator and Bloomturd, everyone should pull out of New York, the new dumbest state.

Agreed, it would be great to see but hearing more than talk. 1st step would be going thru a markup on Sandy relief instead of accepting Harry Reid’s bill.

Thanks for the info, Speaker Madigan will probably not let John Bradley be on this committee, he’s a pro gun rep and a Dem. He currently has 64 Democrats and that will increase to 71 on Wednesday, veto proof majority.

Sneaky Lame duck tricks, just like the fiscal cliff nonsense. Have votes and most likely noone to take calls. Gun rights people will probably have to show up at the Capitol to be heard. Staffs normally not in on Sunday but we'll see.

Bonehead needs to be voted out, thing is I don’t trust Cantor either, he’s been 2nd in command and learned bad habits from Bonehead.

General Stormin Norman, Thank you for your service. God Bless your family in the time of loss. Resting place should be Arlington National.

That’s about like me, I spent much less this year than when Bush was President.
