If Joe Biden sways you to do anything, you’re an idiot.

Via IBTimes:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is reportedly falling short of the 60 votes needed for the bipartisan background checks compromise, and Vice President Joe Biden is stepping in to try and save the measure.

Democratic aides told Politico that a whip count was done on Monday. Now Biden is making personal calls to senators urging them to back the measure, that website reported.

Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., agreed to the compromise last week to expand background checks to gun shows and online sales so that criminals and the mentally ill don’t get their hands on firearms.

So do we the people get to twist arms when these congress traitors vote away our constitutional rights?

I contact the offices of my Congresscritters daily via email and twice weekly via phone. I even bent the ear of Senator Heller a few days ago one on one. I tell them all if they vote for any new gun restrictions I will supprt their opponent next cycle.

Do you call 'em vile names and impune their characters on these calls, or do you just do that here, behind their backs?



(edit, to smack Cedic and abuse my powers-JM)

edit, because you didn't take the hint and everyone has expressed they want the insults to end-JM

And this is why I think we need to go back to the "top" and "flop". I guess we're not going back to that?

"Always count on Congress to do the wrong thing.Only good news in this mess is DC is going to get a good flushing next election and whole new set of a$$holes...."

So as near as I can tell Reid thought as late as Friday that he had this sewn up based upon vote count. The Schumer found out what was really in the Manchin-Toomey amendment and exploded since it didn't go far enough ofr him. So, more and more it looks like the will do something but it will be a complete mess to implement and enforce. Sloppy law making.

Name calling doesn't mean much. It's actions that I judge. The actions in the District of Criminals shredding the Consitiution on both sides of the aisle is my concern.
