Thatās lovely. But what I know about him is that heās Club for Growth plutocratic asshole and I wouldnāt cross the street to pee on him if his heart was on fire.
This is what pisses me off about Bloomberg. He has tunnel vision.
I respectfully disagree with her endorsement, but this poor girl lost her mum in a horrificwayā¦ and she can endorse whoever she chooses.
Nowā¦ we can debate a ton of other things Mr Toomey has done or not doneā¦ separately.
Senator Pat Toomey and his āAā voting recording rating from the NRA.
Well, I would. But strictly for my own gratification.
This is surprising, given her moving speech at the DNC last month.
Can we hope that this actually hurts Toomey with his base?
What might Bloomberg know/suspect about McGintyās approach to gun safety issues?
I think he did deserve some credit for that but he also backed off all sorts of reforms that could have helped too. And really one could easily make the counter point that so long as the GOP controls Congress nothing will get done on near anything.
Why do these guys get credit for āreaching across the aisleā when the fix is already in that the legislation will fail? Thereās more you can do than just put a bill togetherā¦
Probably, but at this point it is past primaries and he is trying to pick off more moderate voters. The base is already with him. If they see something like this than they may get mad but they will vote for him, because the alternative is somebody who will want to take their guns. In their minds anyway.
The question would be, given the lack of knowledge on these things is will something like this even matter? Many people tune out most adds. And it is doubtful that there are too many people without sympathies one way or another. But given how close it is who knows?
Thatās why Toomey signed on. It was a very weak bill that allowed all ānon-advertisedā gun sales to be exempt from background checks. Toomey knew it already failed once in the Senate and would fail again.
I just think it is unfortunate that the daughter and āanti-gunā Bloomberg have been fooled by this nonsense.
Toomey has an unblemished record of supporting the NRA on votes that count. He knew this bill was doomed and the NRA gave him some additional leash to find some cover on this issue. I am so disappointed in Bloomberg for this ad.
āLet me tell you what I know about Sen. Pat Toomey,ā Smegielski said in the ad.āWhen it came time to vote on background checks, Pat Toomey crossed
party lines to do the right thing. Thatās who he is and Iām grateful."
Iām sorry for your lossā¦ no one should have to go thru thatā¦
but I have to respectfully disagree with youā¦ you know as little about politics as you do about Pat Toomeyā¦ as others have pointed out the bill he supported was a āsafeā weak bill with little chance of passageā¦
ask him about his position on forced birth and then get back to usā¦
Kinda kinky, doncha think?
Yeah. Thatās what I knew about him, too. I guess this is where we and Bloomberg part ways.
On the other hand, I do agree with @professorpoopypants : Peeing on Toomey would be a quite relieving.
nothing wrong with golden showers between consenting adultsā¦
of course thatās a liberal Dem hands off approach to happinessā¦
so Iāve heardā¦
Common sense gun control should be bi-partisan. I applaud any effort in the right direction, so will not dump on her or Toomey.
Hes safe
The smart marks know that the Senate is up for grabs.
Any smart modern day Republican would be proud to draw that endorsement.
Btw it shouldnāt be surprising if he starts doing āim with herā ads
Again necessity
