The colorado shooting....interesting to me to see how republicans play this one. If it was any other place they would be talking loud about needing more guns and this wouldn't happen if employee X was allowed to carry etc.

But it was an abortion facility (note: I know Planned Parenthood is far more than abortions. Far more). So they get painted into a corner...they can't say that these evil abortionists should be able to be armed to defend themselves. So you got crickets for quite some time before they started to comment on it. And when they comment on it they give lip service to a guy being a maniac and then go right to the selling body parts angle. Nothing about arming people or rushing shooters or anything else. Maniac and body part selling.

And that to me is what is wrong with much of American politics. The candidates don't actually have principles. Well they have one principle...say whatever needs to be said to get elected.
