Conservatives have no issues today. If Democrats were smart they’d push every extreme left wing measure they can. Because they could get away with it.

God you are absolutely in love with Toomey. You don’t see him destroying the country. You are blinded by your love. I hope you snap out of it.

Oh wow. You obviously don’t know how he was the author of the gays in the military and cheerleader for it. Now he want to get rid of the 2nd Amendment. Specter could only wish he did those two things.

I have no doubt now that the GOPE is controlled by the same power structure and are subservient to the same ideology as the DemocRats.

PA now has Wolfe, a commie-rat bastard who is just waiting for a DemocRat legislature so that he can impose NY- and NJ-style gun control.

Toomey is being told by the GOPE to do this.

He will be crushed next year and as part of the revolt, many other Republicans will lose their seats to the DemocRats.

This is exactly the way the statist, fascist bastard Wolfe wants it.

Who in their right mind (and alleging to represent Republicans in their district) would do something like this?

I don’t like Toomey at all, and am eager to replace him, I am glad that we knocked off that monster Arlen Specter.

What I can’t get over is your absolute devotion to Arlen specter, and his sidekick, rick Santorum.

You wanted Arlen specter to keep that seat permanently, and Specter literally became a democrat in 2010, the last election year for which you and Santorum supported him.

You have some crazy liberal politics, but that was insanity.

Well Toomey is turning out WORSE then Specter (except his last two years).

Yet you and Santorum supported Specter for reelection in 2010.

Oh, they'll pass new laws ALL DAY LONG in Washington DC - but when it comes to arresting their own for felonies (think Hillary "Felony" Clinton and Lois Lerner), these jerks are nowhere to be found.

There are two sets of laws: One for the peasant class. One for the ruling class. the only time a member of the ruling class gets in trouble with the law is when they piss off a member of the ruling class that is in a higher caste than they are.

Right. Prosecutors and law enforcement are terminally allergic to enforcing "the law" against someone in the ruling class who is capable of totally effing up their careers and pensions.

Peasants can't do that, so we're fair game...

LaPierre: 'Next 700 days are the most dangerous' for 2nd Amendment

While the NRA is one of the nation’s most powerful lobbying groups, LaPierre warned that the administration could get away with the ban.

“I think he’s going to proceed,” he said. Referring to the rest of the president’s term, he added, “The next 700 days are the most dangerous days in the history of the Second Amendment.”

If Obamacare survives, they’ll do it through medical insurance. They’ll require doctors to ask questions about gun ownership and whether the patient has ever had an unkind thought about a minority, Globull Warming, etc.

One wrong answer and Presto! you’re not mentally competent to possess a firearm. The supreme court will aprove it.

Still though Santorum thought Toomey was a conservative when Santorum stuck with Arlen. But Toomey is another of the worthless RINO’s, just like that silly governor of SC showed herself to be.

I know a liberal who shot himself back in the 70s and he’s even more nuts today. And he owns a gun and has a CCL. I think I’ll report him. If there’s anyone who shouldn’t own a gun, it’s this guy.

Well, what’s wrong with keeping guns out of the hands of crazy people? It’s a noble idea isn’t it?

Answer: HELL NO!

Why: Who makes the determination that YOU are mentally incompetent and how? How would you protect yourself against something like that? What could you possibly do to correct the diagnosis? Would failure to “toe” the political correctness line be a symptom of mental illness?

Answer: YOU WOULD BE TOTALLY SCREWED WITH NO RECOURSE!

How soon do we forget about the communists dealing with resistance by using mental hospitals to contain those who did not agree with their policies.
