BREAKING: Sources Report Senate Republicans Caving on Guns | RedState
Sources inside the Senate tell me that the Republican Conference is scared to death of the tactics of Senators Lee, Cruz and Paul – that it is supposedly putting them in a tough spot.
Several of the Republicans are using the Manchin-Toomey compromise plan as an excuse to cave on the gun filibuster. They claim that Senators Lee, Cruz, and Paul are running ahead of the conference in their insistence on a filibuster.
What they fail to see is that the cloture vote is the vote to stop the gun legislation from passage.
Several Republican Senators intend to vote against the filibuster, but then vote against the overall bill. This is too clever by half.....

Because they are members of the ruling class and it makes them very uncomfortable when the peasants have guns. This is as much as they think they can get now. So they’ll take it and wait anxiously for the next school massacre.
Just curious...If the GOP has abandoned you, where will you go?
Pssst...
Republicans aren't worried about their Oath of Office (Defending and upholding that faded old parchment...) All they are worried about is getting re-elected. And right now the idiots in charge think gun control is a winning issue.
If the idiots in charge thought mandatory anal exams using red hot curling irons was a winning issue they would be for that.
They don't care about their Oath, it doesn't even register on their "inside-the-beltway-group-think" radar.
No, and it wouldn't do any good any how... problem is the Right isn't taking abortion seriously. We throw principled, pro-life candidates like Akers and Muordoch under the bus, killers of their unborn children go on book tours professing "guilt" about their aborted babies, but getting attention and $$ for telling the tale... I brought this up recently with a "pro choice" gal I know and she just stared at me and said "so, I think I commit murder every mentrual cycle?", and just went on about oppression of women. In another thread people are discussing being "pressured" into aborting fetuses that may (or may not!) have defects... Really, where are people's moral spine?
I don’t know :-(
At this point, I’m a political refugee.
“...I’m a political refugee.”
You are not alone...not that that is any consolation.
Ahh, yes, hanged - my grammar has been slipping slowly but surely. Thanks for reminding me of that ;o)
