I sure support the house Democrats for their stance on gun reform! Ex-Gov. Ted Strickland

said that the reason he lost Ohio narrowly in his 2010 election to John Kasich was that Obama did not define the differences nearly well enough between Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats tonight are defining those differences very, very well!

I certainly believe that Obama was a wonderful president, but he did not stick his fist in the face of the Republicans nearly enough, not even when they were cutting taxes on the richest Americans, stopping food stamps for the needy, stopping unemployment benefits that keep families together, etc. His personal presentation was that of someone who said, "We can get along with the other party" but clearly this was not the case, as was established repeatedly -- including by the Caucus from Conspiracy and the Koch brothers debate in Florida, which cemented the view of Jim Demint that all Republicans would oppose Obama at all times, even if he was proposing something they agreed with.

The National Republican Party is evil through and through, only interested in making money for their donors or feathering their own nests, and they view the rest of the citizens of this country, the world as totally unimportant.

Great for the House Democrats to rise to their feet to protest the house gun violence protection act, and also to show the American people that the problems are with the Republicans, not the Democrats.

Excellent!
