And we’re supposed to do... WHAT, exactly?

Throw our heads back and howl?
Write letters doomed for the shredder?
Make phone calls followed by the “delete” button?
Or the ultimate in useless gestures... vote?

If the house passes this bill and becomes law. I won’t just vote for Hillary once, I’ll break the law and vote for Hillary twice! There isn’t much difference between the parties anyway.
And this country has already passed the point of no return.
What do you think about that Rove.

Yes, I know it is for cloture. I said, I am not sure about the tactics. But this horrible bill must be stopped.

The Entire ComDem Gun Grab Must Be Stopped.

“Jeff Flake of Arizona”

I won’t forget, Jeff. I’ll still be in Arizona when you come up for re-election. If you are going to do the Democrats’ bidding, you might as well be one.

Easy now. Let’s not sink the ship yet. There’s more to go. Keep up the steady pressure and continually remind them of what happened in 94. Guns is an insane issue to take on, I don’t care who the heck you are or what media you have on your side. It’s the only thing in American politics that gets out the vote. Obama fooled everybody the last two presidential elections by claiming he wasn’t going to go for the guns. Well now we ALL KNOW HE LIED and that is that. Democrats and Rinos are finished if anything gets passed.

We have lost the issue in the Senate and all that will remain is how we are going to lose it in the House.
We the people do not count, nor does the constitution, with either communist party controlling us.
That's how I see the facts now.

It’s time to admit that the vast majority of congresscritters are indeed critters....and should be treated with as much respect as libtards treat a foetus.

More accurate: Vermin.

Even Alaska’s Dem Sen Begich voted against it and said he’d join with Cruz & Paul’s filibuster if he needed to.

Which Republicans voted FOR it?

Senate Republicans are a flock of capons. They will suck up to Obama and their Democrat Colleagues. Don’t even bother with senate Republicans - pressure House Republicans and Boehner - HARD.

Not to be a doomsayer - just cold political calculus - Boehner needs only 30 Republican votes to pass it, working in combo with the Democrats.

I’m willing to be he’s got those 30 votes lined up. I’d say he’s probably got 35 to provide him with a margin of error.

I swear he is some forerunner of the antichrist. He can't have that much dirt on that many people, does he threaten them, or hypnotise them, or what? Nah, they're probably all just that corrupt and bribable.

“How in the world did Arizona end up with TWO Rino Traitors? C’mon, AZ...what gives?”

There’s been a civil war going on in the Republican Party in AZ, with the McCain types winning. Special thanks to Sarah Palin for endorsing that POS.

On the other side are the Sheriff Joe, JD Hayworth, and former County Attorney Andrew Thomas types(who was wrongly disbarred for bringing the corruption into the light).

Also they fall back on the argument that the House won’t pass it anyway.

Just what Bush said when he signed the campaign finance reform bill - It’s just smart politics. Don’t worry the Supreme Court will throw it out.
