Aside from there being a whole voluminous list  of stuff that McCain doesn&#8217;t understand, I have to agree with him a bit. But first;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI don\u2019t understand why United States senators want to block debate when the leaders said we could have amendments,\u201d McCain added.<\/p>\n<p>A number of GOP lawmakers, including Sens. Rand Paul (Ky.), Mike Lee (Utah), Marco Rubio (Fla.), and Ted Cruz (Texas) wrote to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) vowing that they would \u201coppose the motion to proceed to any legislation that will serve as a vehicle for any additional gun restrictions.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I know Republicans are heartened by the reaction of the public after Rand Paul&#8217;s 13-hour filibuster and I tend to think that filibustering the gun control vote won&#8217;t turn out as well for them as it did for Paul, and besides, I want a vote on gun control. <\/p>\n<p>I know the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/gun-legislations-prospects-improve\/2013\/04\/07\/adea516e-9f92-11e2-9c03-6952ff305f35_story.html?hpid=z1\">Washington Post <\/a>is optimistic that the vote will result in universal background checks and finally close that non-existent gun show loop hole that everyone is saying this week killed those kids in Newtown. But, I don&#8217;t think it will happen, actually. I just want a list of gun grabbing Fascists to publish. A list of gun-grabbing Fascists that won&#8217;t have jobs next year.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I&#8217;m a little disappointed that Reid doesn&#8217;t have the testicular fortitude to bring the Feinstein bill to the floor, too, because like Reid, I don&#8217;t think it will pass and do more damage to the Democat&#8217;s majority in the Senate than a plane crashing into the Capitol. But, I&#8217;m pretty sure that among America&#8217;s gun owners, the list of whom is growing every day, the damage has been done, just by having the one-sided &#8220;national discussion&#8221; and the Democrats showing their collective ass.<\/p>\n<p>So while I agree with McCain that there should be a vote without a filibuster, he&#8217;s being a pussy about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hill writes that McCain says that he doesn&#8217;t understand why a slew of Republican Senators &hellip; <a title=\"McCain; &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand&#8221;\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=34986\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">McCain; &#8220;I don&#8217;t understand&#8221;<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34986\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
