“Toomey figures that conservatives will get over the gun bill when he’s up for re-election in 2016.”
Wanna bet ??He’s TOAST!
Sent toomey this when i was redirected to a page with gun rights loaded as an option:Funny that Socialists, Communists, Fascists all use mental health to curtail human rights. Religious people are termed mentally ill these days. Anti-Depressants are prescribed for CHEMO Patients. Where do you live? in a dream world? allowing everyone’s HIPAA info out on the street. Great job. I’ll not be voting for you again.
I have been saying it for years- We need a TEA Party
March on GOP HEADQUARTERS
(it used to be my tagline for like a year)
We have a year and a half to separate the gop from the Tea Party......Let’s get it done!
yep
I am a Pennsylvanian. We won’t be able to do anything about him till 2015. He is safe because we will have all forgotten this by the next primary. He knows this. That is why he can do this without worrying about the consequences.
I’m totally devastated by this. I worked on his first congressional campaign. He was 110% conservative. WTF happens when they become senators?
Remind Toomey that he’s No. 10 on the list of RINO traitors to be ostracized and shipped one-way to North Korea..
Ditto here in Virginia... we have a pair of Stepford senaturds -- Mark Warner and Tim Kaine -- who vote exactly as Obama and the DNC direct.
They start to feel left out of the action when no one extends an invite to the Beltway cocktail parties. From that point, their issue stances begin the "evolving" process.
Ours aren’t any better. Stuart Smalley and The Witless Wonder, Amy Klobuchar — two senators who, if they were any dumber, would have to be watered twice a week.
Sandy Hook Elementary
First, there are already more than 20,000 gun control laws actively on the books today and none of them prevented this tragedy. Second, millions upon million of people in America own guns and 99.9999% of them have never and will never do anything like this.
So, let’s lose the hysteria and analyze the facts - a PERSON did this, NOT a hunk of steel. In Portland, a PERSON killed two people in the mall, NOT a hunk of steel! In Denver, a PERSON shot up the theater, NOT a hunk of steel!! In fact, NEVER in the history of violent crime has a weapon been arrested and charged with the crime, it’s always been the PERSON in control of the weapon!!!
NONE of these facts will matter to the gun-grabbing nanny-staters, because they focus solely on the gun and nothing else. So, what happens if ALL guns are outlawed and forcibly collected by the feds? Someone bent on committing mass murder may turn to knives, hatchets, chainsaws or machetes (see Lone Star Community College). So, we outlaw those. The next person to commit a heinous crime may use a bat, poison, poison gas or a semi-tractor. And the one after that may use a car, a pen or pencil, a rock, his hands . . . . . . so when do we blame the PERSON and NOT the inanimate weapon!???
The fact remains that until the left understands that murdering humans by ANY means including their favorite method, abortion, human life will be valueless and more copycats will come out to exercise their demented mass murder of innocent people.
All of that said, it occurs to me that the gun-grabbers are from the leftist school of complete control. What that means is that if 1 person commits a gun crime then, under the leftist theory of the “collective” and “groupthink”, they believe that ALL gun owners will commit mass murder unless they eliminate guns (good luck with that!). So, the calls for more gun control by the left after these incidents is twofold - eliminate the “balance of power” the Founding Fathers so carefully wove into the Constitution and gain total control over the people.
Another part that affects all of this is the fact that laws, whether gun laws, robbery laws, or whatever, are written solely to affect law-abiding citizens. People who commit crimes are called “outlaws” and criminals because they DON’T adhere to the laws created to control or stop their illegal activities.
So, should the left create additional gun control laws, will it prevent the next gun-related crime? Of course not. Laws only affect those of us who obey them. Those who disregard the law won’t be stopped from committing whatever crime they want to commit.
As a final note, Adam Lanza did not own the guns he used to murder all of the people at Sandy Hook Elementary. The existing gun laws worked to prevent him from purchasing a firearm when he attempted to do so only days before. The guns he used were his mother’s guns and they were all legally purchased and registered. Which begs the question, what will any NEW gun control laws accomplish?
And, if “universal Background” checks are good for the law-abiding citizens of this country, why aren’t they satisfactory for the POTUS, members of Congress and SCOTUS nominees??
(Inquiring minds . . . . . . . . )
We don’t need more laws. Any new law will be a step in the direction of a full gun ban.
Period!
They get to washington and discover all the lobbyists. They sell their soul.
Freepers don’t just sit there and think..act. Send Toomey an email and post to his Facebook account.
Toomey’s Mailbox is full and his fax number doesn’t answer. If he were really concerned about the little people I would think he would at least have one staff person working in his office this evening.
I also tried to contact his office earlier in the day and received the same “no” response - all of his staff were on other phone lines.
Thank you Lord for Santorum!!!!!! Get rid of that liberal Toomey....perhaps the worst senator in Pennsylvania ever.
Obviously he never was conservative and just pretended to be one during his rise to power.
Worse than Specter? That is why you support Santorum supporting Specter even in the 2010 election?
I can see someone wanting to replace Toomey with someone more conservative, but how can you love Arlen Specter so much?
It is your support for Specter over Toomey that is weird.
