Including a vote to repeal health care reform.

While they address the tragedy as it relates to security of Congress.

Keith just reported that this came from Rep. Cantor.

1. When they take your guns, your voice, and your other freedoms
It won't be a democrat leading the charge to do it. But they sure do make a handy excuse.

3. Not too good on multi-tasking, are they???
"Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor Liberty to purchase power."
From "Poor Richard's Almanac" (1738)

alternately, paraphrased:

Those Who Sacrifice (the business of) Liberty For Security Deserve Neither.

4. They've all signed up for the talk shows
to spiel their talking points. I can hear them now....
"There was no way ANYONE could have anticipated VIOLENCE just because we basically SANCTIONED IT 24/7....
WE are BLAMELESS..." I bet Sharon Engle and watshername... old 1/2 term governor and defeated VP candidate from somewhere who drew targets on a map and listed names... will back WAAAAAAAAAAY off of this and -
well, you know the rest.
