As long as they’re in the minority, they’re just making political noise. Besides, we saw how dogged and determined Oversight was when they had the advantage.

Names That Should Live in Infamy
The Republicans who joined Democrats in voting for the bill were Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sens. Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Todd Young of Indiana, and Roy Blunt of Missouri. [More]
Of these, two [three] are retiring and the only one who needs to run for reelection now is Murkowski, who also voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial and to confirm Biden pick Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court.
We’ve talked about her before — plenty. I believe she will make a perfect object lesson to defeat, provided a sufficient number of gun owners want to actually do something about it instead of standing there and bleeding.
Meanwhile, well-heeled Stupid Party Vichycon luminaries think it’s a smart idea to rub the betrayal in our faces before the presumed “red wave.”

‘Republicans,’ Pay Heed
John Cornyn, top Republican negotiator on gun package, booed at Texas GOP convention [More]
Even if the angry feedback is scaring you into backing off, the trust has already been broken. Way to take the fire out of bellies.
You hearing this Mitch? Lindsey?
You geniuses really want to break up the wave before it happens?

The state and national GOP and “conservative issue” groups need to be put on notice that Tillis is unacceptable and given names of those who are.
Winning?
Flores, who had 51% of the vote to Democratic candidate Dan Sanchez’ 43% when The Associated Press called the race, will become the first Mexican-born congresswoman to serve in the House. Her family moved to the United States when she was 6 years old. [More]
And we’ve seen what “the highest possible candidate grade” means again and again and again and…
We MUST … encourage LEGAL immigration.
Why, if the vast majority overwhelmingly end up voting Democrat and anti-gun? Or is that the line the cheaper H-1B worker money guys spinning dreams about her promising future told her to use?
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”…

Yes. Totalitarians want everyone they want to eliminate dead. Who doesn’t know that? Why else would they want our guns?
Which makes stupidly suicidal Republican complicity in disarming their last best defense all the more of a forehead-slapper…
The Usual Suspects
House passes red flag gun legislation in mainly party-line vote… Five Republicans — Reps. Fred Upton (Mich.), Adam Kinzinger (Ill.), Anthony Gonzalez (Ohio), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) and Chris Jacobs (N.Y.) — bucked the GOP in voting for the measure, and Democratic Rep. Jared Golden (Maine) broke from the party in opposing the bill. [More]
Two of them aren’t running again. The other three have earned a full-court press to oust them next time around, but that depends on how willing their gun owner constituents are to actually do something.

And the Traitors Are
The Republican representatives who voted with the Democrats included Reps. Fred Upton of Michigan, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Chris Smith of New Jersey and Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida. GOP Reps. Mike Turner and Anthony Gonzales of Ohio also backed the measure, as did three Republican members of New York’s delegation — Reps. Nicole Malliotakis, John Katko and Chris Jacobs. [More]
Any gun owner who contributes to the national or state Republican party as opposed to individual candidates who have earned it is financing his own persecution.
I would like to see the “gun groups” that have the clout put public pressure on party leadership and let them know that their financial and other support of these enemies within will be heavily publicized to gun owners.
I’d also like to see gun owners show up in groups at town hall meetings and loudly expose these frauds for the subversive weeds that they are.

With Graham, Collins, Toomey, and Cassidy parlaying under a white flag, I guess we’ll see how badly Republican want a “red wave.”
Also of interest, look at the amount of attention the media is devoting to what this ever-treasonous, on-his-way-out GOP loser thinks.
