That's a FACT!
+1 - but I have to take an exception here.

He had no business putting PR above the pledge he made to the gun owning, voting public. He would have been better served with us to take a stand on the issue and stick with it. I lost a lot of respect for him on that move.

That's true, but when you represent all of the people, compromises are made.

Understand the need to compromise, but he didn't have to on this issue. There wasn't ever going to be a time when he would have had to approve this type of trash legislation. He would have been better served to stand his ground on the issue and simply state that he would not approve an extension. he's always been an upfront person and I don't see why he waffled on this one. Just my thoughts on it.....
