Very little gets me pissed enough to wade directly into the poo-vat of politics, but the gun control ranting resulting from the CT shooting has managed to do it.
The long and short of it - Republicans still hold the House, and they need to be told that this is an issue we draw the line on; that the "fiscal cliff" is chump change when compared to personal freedom. Democrats too, for that matter, need to be reminded of where their voters stand, and ESPECIALLY need to be reminded what happened in the 1994 mid-term election when they floated this turd the last time.
So at this moment, I've written to my local Freshman Democrat Congressman to spell out the facts of life; to Speaker Boehner informing him of my wish that he stand firm against this; and even to my dear Senator Dianne Feinstein indicating that she may not be doing her party any favors. I doubt I'm done, but that'll do for tonight.
My point guys, is that we do a lot of venting here, but PLEASE do some venting where it might do some good. Preach to thems that ain't already converted.

I thought mine was worth a damn, but he was just arrested for DUI. Sen Larry Craig was busted for soliciting men in a public restroom. That is just Idaho senators. Sorry boys, the democrats do not have the hypocrisy market cornered.
