Yesterday, the GOP gave away any chance of regaining control of the Senate with their cloture cave on the Manchin-Toomey monstrosity.
According to FR posts last night, Speaker Boner indicated that he will side with DemocRATS to pass what he considers “important” legislation. This stance, coupled with everything else, will keep the base at home in 2014—Bye-bye House.
For whatever reason, elected Republicans are more afraid of what the MSM will say about them than they are of their constituents.
The second amendment is their most feared threat. Once they destroy that, the first amendment will fall easily along with the rest of the constitution.
Can anyone explain why the Repubs caved on the gun-grab filibuster? Anyone?
