Sure, i do agree that the Pres stepping into the gun control issues is a bad thing, and yes it is second hand.
But, why move for laws when the admin can rule via policy and having agencies change rules.
The President wants to keep his job for four more years. He would like to have more members of his party in both houses of Congress. These desires are not compatible with introducing more gun control legislation.
Obama pushing for gun control would be more likely to hurt congressional Democrats than his reelection campaign, regardless of where those Dems stood on gun control (and the ones that lose out the most would likely be the most pro-gun as a consequence of demographics).
I understand the blog's desire to avoid partisanship. But facts are stubborn things. When Donkeys ride, we lose. Not much of a way to pretend that ain't the case.
What about this statement is so hard to understand?hso said:The best thing that anyone can do is look at the existing voting records and act accordingly instead of blindly following a party designation that doesn't reflect the voting record of the individual.
Let's not make this a partisan politics thread since it doesn't make sense to do so.
Obama on gun rights.
