With a simple FACEBOOK posting, Representative Erik Paulsen (R-MN-03) echoed the words of Representative Steve King (R-IA-04) who explained his reasoning in declining his chance to run for the Iowa Senate seat : This week, I made a simple device to put toothpaste back in the tube.

I’ve had it up to here with the right wing nut jobs WHINING and WAILING on and on and on about how they are victims – usually to distract people from the fact that they are the ones who are victimizing others. It has become a deliberate strategy, a fundamental tactic of the right, a [...]
We’ve heard repeatedly from the gun-huggers that if we pass gun control, only the criminals will have guns. Never mind that in every comparably developed country in the eastern and western hemisphere, where there is effective gun control, there is less crime committed involving guns, far fewer suicides involving guns, and far fewer accidents involving [...]
The Lakeville Patch reported the sad news : “It’s time for them to start to get serious and raise money. That will be a very expensive Senate race,” John Kline said. “Al has shown he can raise money. He’s got money and he can raise money. Whoever our candidate is, they need to be able [...]
UNSPEAKABLE! was the word that the New Ulm Journal (not exactly a left-leaning newspaper) wrote in today’s editorial reacting to the US Senate’s vote : The slaughter of 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., was a horrible thing, but not horrible enough to shake enough votes loose in [...]

Well, two Alabama legislators have a plan … State Senators Scott Beason, R-Gardendale, and Roger Bedford, D-Russellville, want to make it easier to carry concealed [...]
Today is GOOD FRIDAY — a solemn day for Christians — a remembrance of crucifixion of Jesus — the ultimate penalty for the “King of the Jews”, accused of “treason” against the government of Rome based on Jesus’ message of the coming Kingdom of God. There was no FOX News to just “Report and You [...]
This week, the Senate Judiciary Committee moved forward legislation on firearms … yet, from the onset, it seems that the issue was not about the Second Amendment but the First. Minnesotans who watched “Hearing on the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013” via CSPAN had to impressed with Al Franken’s statement (advance the clip to 1:26) [...]

ReTweet this to let @repjohnkline know you oppose universal background checks. — NRAILA (@NRAILA) March 5, 2013 QUERY : Is the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) –the “lobbying” arm of the National Rifle Association of America — worried that John Kline will buckle under pressure ?
