Yes, it is time to retake the Senate and make the majority bigger in the house.

The problem is, we have no Gingrich like leadership with a "Contract for America". The Tea Party may have to do the heavy lifting.

I think that if the GOP pushes hard for real Conservative principles, they will find a groundswell of support that could give them enormous victories in 2014.

But, if the GOP scorns Conservatives, they may face unprecedented defeat.

Doesn't the GOP have any big money donors?

We should be laying this albatross around every RINO and democrat's neck.

Not to mention Obamacare. It will be just warming up in 2014.

Better keep an eye on S. 792 (”A bill to strengthen the enforcement of background checks with respect to the us of explosive materials”). It would require background checks on purchases of gunpowder (would make reloading much more expensive and would be a big step against ammunition soon thereafter). It’s already making powders virtually unobtainable by way of hysteria and panic and could greatly extend the period of unavailability.

It’s in the Senate Judiciary Committee for now. Leahy has a mixed voting record on the Second Amendment, so try to convince him that it should stop in his committee. Don’t listen to concern troll nay-sayers. Just do it. If the bill gets out of committee (which it shouldn’t), you should know who to contact in the Senate for your states.

The bill needs to be stopped, before powder becomes unavailable for even longer than the end of the year, and prices get even more outrageous. Voter enthusiasm, tolerance and time for firearms, market schemes and hysterical politics are not infinite.

You would have to ask Rubio.

Gangs have their own way of doing things.

Two problems with retaking the Senate: a) Whigs can’t find candidates (more RINOs) and b) if they get control, so what. Nothing changes, except the faces.

The government - all three branches - is a criminal enterprise that should be tried under RICO.

Someone from Pipestone, Minnesota, asked “why did the toomey amendment have all the democrats bills.”

Better question. Why did Toomey commit political suicide by getting in bed with the democrats over gun control?

Because guns owners in PA (there are a bunch) will never support him again.
