Why can't the stories of awesomeness with guns keep up with the stories of pure dumbassery?
Retweeted by Greg Sargent
So all those conservatives who hate appeals to experts--"authority"--won't place stock in Heritage immigration study, right?
Irrelevant to the actual policies being debated RT @TheLastWord NRA chief: "How many Bostonians wished they had a gun two weeks ago?"

War among conservatives over Heritage study reinforces how immigration is a win-win for Dems no matter what happens.

Senate Democrats think they have several new votes for a gun bill. @ThePlumLineGS says one might be Johnny Isakson politicalwire.com/archives/2013/…

Talks are back on between Johnny Isakson & Joe Manchin on background checks, Isakson told advocates: washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-lin…
Sen. Isakson privately told gun control advocates he's open to changing vote on Manchin Toomey, I'm told: washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-lin…
@KevinWGlass I still consider myself a conservative, but not a member of the conservative movement, which consists of largely of nutcases.

Nice to see bipartisan scorn for a totally BS Heritage study, for a change. washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-lin…

Heritage study doesn't change dynamic: Either House GOP bucks the right, or immigration reform dies. washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-lin…
No one is even pretending Heritage study's purpose is anything other than killing immigration reform. washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-lin…
Remarkably, no one is pretending Heritage study is about anything other than killing immigration reform: washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-lin…
RT @JeffFlake Here we go again. New Heritage study claims huge cost for Immigration Reform. Ignores economic benefits. No dynamic scoring.

Again: The Sandy Hook families contacted the White House *first,* not the other way around: washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-lin… cc: @tedcruz
It's odd that @tedcruz claims to be looking out for interests of Newtown families when he opposes everything they want
With @tedcruz calling Newtown families "props," reposting the actual chronology of how they got involved: washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-lin…
It's odd that @tedcruz would call the Newtown families props when they *asked* to be part of gun control push.

No, Obamacare implementation will not be a "train wreck." Must, must read from @CitizenCohn: newrepublic.com/article/113049…
That lack of "charm" didn't stop Obama from passing more major legislation than any other president since LBJ.

Opponents of Manchin-Toomey aren't confused about what's in it. They know what's in it. They're just pretending they don't.
After Obama offers Rs entitlement cuts, Rs now say they're too politically difficult. New message: more tax cuts! washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
