We have a lot of other very important issues to deal with such as getting the economy back on track,

Changing the subject by the wimp - can we forget this? I put it under the rug, so let's move on, I'm busy.

Good point. Why couldn't we have focused FIRST, SECOND and THIRD on getting the economy back on track, and ignored this pointless anti-gun bill that wasn't going to make any difference in the crime rate anyway?

Of course, "getting the economy back on track" to the Congress means quibbling over where to spend more money on social programs and which party thought of it first and should get credit, so I guess maybe we got lucky here in a way.
