Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

So Very Wrong


http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2013/04/gun-background-checks-senate.php?ref=fpblg

Over 90% of the public support background checks.  But the Coward Caucus in the Democratic Senate won't go along with something because they "fear the wrath of the NRA", despite the fact that a majority of NRA members support a background check!

I get that Republicans suck, but when you can't even get to 50 votes because Max Baucus thinks that the NRA may - possibly - say mean things about him....
