Send them all home permanently
Republicans proving once again that voting for them is not much different than voting Democrat.
When you are elected to Congress as a Republican you are required to take a secret oath to “The Club” and to foresake any conservative principles for the good of the Club.
Oh - the rules for The Club are established by the Democrat members exclusively.
The Republican members of the club are more interested in listening to Club Auxiliaries like Karl Rove and Bill O’Reilly than people like you.
So don’t be upset when these elected Republicans jump ship. They are working for the Club, not you.
If we lose, we know it is time to take up arms. If we win, we know who to fire (at).
It was suggested on another blog that this could be a political chess move. Force Democrats from pro-gun states into a corner. If they vote “Aye” on the actual bill, they risk losing their seats in 2014. Your mileage may vary.
All of the need to be defeated in the next primary. I am sick and tired of voting for people who stab us in the back.
If any of the candidates make it past the next primary, vote third party or write-in.
The Toomey-Manchin Kill The Bill of Rights Bill.TITLE ONE: GETTING ALL THE NAMES OF PROHIBITED PURCHASERS INTO THE BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM
Summary of Title I: This section improves background checks for firearms by strengthening the instant check system.
- Encourage states to provide all their available records to NICS by restricting federal funds to states who do not comply.
By "all their available records" just what records are they blackmailing states for with that statist bilge water? "All" is a pretty big word when only a very few records are applicable to denying someone their right to keep and bear arms.
- Allow dealers to voluntarily use the NICS database to run background checks on their prospective employees.
Does that means dealers can run NICS checks on prospective employees without their knowledge or consent? I have no idea what the word 'voluntarily' means there. Does it mean dealers will be allowed to not run NICS checks if they prefer not to?
- Clarifies that submissions of mental health records into the NICS system are not prohibited by federal privacy laws (HIPAA).
Submissions of mental health records? Since when has it been legal to deny any American their rights without due process? Isn't it required that a person be adjudicated mentally deficient by a court of law to do that? Mental health records are entirely irrelevant except to those court proceedings. This bill sounds like Stalinist purge material.
- Provides a legal process for a veteran to contest his/her placement in NICS when there is no basis for barring the right to own a firearm.
Is that an admission that the Bill of Rights doesn't cover veterans or an admission that it doesn't cover anyone anymore?
why is it that “Republicans” seem to ... so often ... screw us !?
let’s replace these people, they plainly don’t give a hoot about their oath of office anyway....
Up for debate is exactly what they think, and they ought to be sent home permanently, the Second Amendment is plainspoken and not open for debate or the whims of democrats or RINOs.
Well, now is the time to start getting the word out and getting THEM out of office, as well as getting the rabid anti freedom dems booted out as well.
A lot of familiar names on the list...
I don’t really see a downside to “debating” the second amendment. It will put those who oppose our constitutional rights on record and help us prioritize our target list. That includes some that we may mistakenly think of as “our own”.
We play the victim as often as Al Sharpton does.
We have no representation- get over it.
Its up to us , to not someone else. its up to us the retake the nation.
"§ 1890. The importance of this article will scarcely be doubted by any persons, who have duly reflected upon the subject. The militia is the natural defence of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with which they are attended, and the facile means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers (emphases added); and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. And yet, though this truth would seem so clear, and the importance of a well regulated militia would seem so undeniable, it cannot be disguised, that among the American people there is a growing indifference to any system of militia discipline, and a strong disposition, from a sense of its burthens, to be rid of all regulations. How it is practicable to keep the people duly armed without some organization, it is difficult to see. There is certainly no small danger, that indifference may lead to disgust, and disgust to contempt; and thus gradually undermine all the protection intended by this clause of our national bill of rights." --Joseph Story, Amendment II, Commentaries on the Constitution 3.
I find Justice Story's Commentaries to be good time capsule which indicates how the Founding States intended for the Constitution to be understood.
Wherever you find republicans bending over for democrats you will find the three mouseketeers.
Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Pat Toomey.
Saxby Chambliss is a disgrace to the State of Georgia.
Since nobody seems interested in joining me for holding a mass necktie party in D.C. I guess I’ll just forget about the idea for now.
Mark Levin is calling them out by name and says to never support them again in any way. It is time to remove them and fight. From the bottom up at the grassroots. Not from the top down.
