I don’t believe we should be infringing upon people’s Second Amendment rights."

Sounds like her campaign is an unfortunate accident.

I am willing to bet she doesn’t use “unfortunate” to qualify Benghazi…

Maybe the killer was just looking for a pig to castrate and was frustrated cause he couldn’t find one.

According to a senior member of the NRA cult, an “inanimate object” discharged.

Moreover, Wayne LaPierre commented to a reporter on the latest accident of child shooting another child, “Inanimate and inorganic objects do not kill children. Children kill children.”

This is the real Dem quandary, the voting patterns of conservative white females. Who vote against their best interest, out of fear and ignorance, as in this case.

The largest voting bloc elected Kennedy in 1960, turned in 1968 and has never looked back. The war on women by the GOP, in many cases is by women or with their blessings. The senate races in GA, AR, NC and KY, the hot bed of the South will show if there are hopeful shifts in the patterns. Liberals gloss over the fact while harping on turnout and minority voters. I guess they gave up on the problem.

Someone needs to go back to what she knows: pig genitalia.

Fucking idiot.

BTW, TPM, does this story highlight it for you enough that the word “accident” HAS NO PLACE IN THE DISCUSSION OF ALL THESE GUN INCIDENTS?

“I have been endorsed by the NRA in this race, …”

Nuf said.

Translation:
“The NRA paid me good money and, damnit, I will give them everything they paid for. It’s only fair.”

OK. Well. Sure. But everybody does it!
Certainly it can be risen to the level of youthful indiscretion– no?

She probably meant incident, not accident.
But she’s an unfortunate accident herself.

Law of averages…

Chances are the typical Bagger voter she is appealing to will not suffer a gun-related tragedy

Chances are that SHE will not suffer a gun-related tragedy.


Baggers have zero emphathy–and certainly cannot process anything unless it happens to or relates to THEM.

Sound political strategy…

As Josh might say, you can’t make this stuff up.

Joni, your wig is a tragedy. The UCSB shooter’s actions were a premeditated act. While we as a country have a long way to go to prevent young men from the sort of isolation the shooter fell into, we must recognize the crime itself for what it is.

… just because of a horrible, horrible tragedy, I don’t believe we should be infringing upon people’s … rights.

Funny, that’s not what Republicans were saying after 9/11. Then it was “9/11 changed everything!” and whenever someone complained about violations of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, they were accused of having a “pre-9/11 mindset.”

So I guess it’s true that the only part of the Constitution Republicans honor is the Second Amendment. And the First Amendment when it suits them.
