Liberals wonder why they don't do better on the issues? This freakout is the reason. It's irrational, and it's distracting from a very "real" issue, that up until the bloggers went nuts, we seemed to be making some real inroads.
You want to know why the issue of gun control has been put on a backburner so many times? Look around the leftosphere. They were all broken up for a minute about the blood of innocents, but they seem to have recovered even before all the victims are buried. Now they've moved on to the next shiny new object, and the M$M will be in hot pursuit, cuz they don't want to talk about gun control either.
Liberals like the Jill Stein Party, The Roseanne Party, and the Rocky Anderson Party provide cover, and aren't effective because they have the collective attention span of gnat. Wshen the next massacre happens (and it will), like the rest of the country, they'll be looking to the President for answers to the question, "Why didn't you do more"? Ask yourself, how many of the so called journalists who are demanding answers from the president, actually wrote articles or featured the everyday killings in between the last mass murder that caught headlines?
You see how quickly we move on? Here's a suggestion, the next time someone starts out with "this isn't what I voted for Obama for", take that with a HUGE grain of salt, and an eye toward skepticism. Chances are, it's a big fat fib.
