Just sayin'. However, my voting record is much like yours. I was just pulling your chain. What with the tragedy to your Johnson and all I'm just trying to lighten the mood.

However, my voting record is much like yours. I was just pulling your chain. What with the tragedy to your Johnson and all I’m just trying to lighten the mood.

I think party affiliation needs to be deemphasized wherever possible; I've voted for Dems, Repubs, Greens, Independents, Libertarians, and just about every other party on the ballot, and I wish more people could be as open minded. The one party rule that we've slid into here in MD really ends up meaning corruption, unabated by the built in checks and balances we're supposed to have.

There are a lot of new guys that don't have records yet that would be vulnerable. But there's still time before the elections. The Dems may very well corral fast eddie and render this a moot issue. I just want to make sure they have the proper motivation to get him under control. To be clear, I would never advocate people kneecap long time Dem RKBA advocates.

Even though the non-Baltimore and Montgomery County Democrats in MD are often quite good on gun rights, we're stuck with O'Malley thanks to Balto, PG, and Monty counties...

And to some degree I agree with you, but the only way the Democrats are going ot make sure never to put someone like Rendell up for governor again is to make them pay for doing it.

It's inevitable that in every state and at the national level that there'll be other issues that matter to people, and you can count on the fact that the pendulum will swing back and forth. Sooner or later Dems will be in power...but it won't matter if we have enough pro gun Dems to keep the antis like Rendell in check. Punishing pro gun Dems by saying "gee thanks for your support but we're going to dump you anyway" isn't a very good message. Instead, encourage more and more pro gun Dems and have THEM keep putting the pressure on Fast Eddie. The problem with that is you’re punishing the very people we need more of–pro gun Democrats.
