Whereas this is supposedly a reality based community, I though we could take a closer
look at what Senator Feinstein calls “an up hill battle’’ and (cough cough) "the hardest of the hard."

Dog knows it's not easy for the typical 'moran' to count to 538 much less 60 (Senate) or 217 (House).
I was one of many Demo's who refused to believe the 2010 midterms would not turn out to be OK for our party.

I've been following the Democratic Representatives/districts that opposed Obama/Biden/Holders proposed Assault weapons ban renewal. Few Gun owners are impressed w/ the "I support hunters & sportsman" meme. The (Jim) 'Zumbo effect' was the line in the sand for most gun rights voters & these 66 Dems (+ 3 Senators) clearly laid out their feelings on the 2nd amendment. So much so that most were even endorsed by the NRA. This was/is our last best chance to counter the Popular misconception that all democrats "Want to Grab your Guns" Turns out about 1/2 are/were Blue Dogs, whom sure seam to be getting a healthy share of the blame for Tuesdays looses. Even with the blue dogs, Pelosi Progressives managed to pass >400 pieces of legislation that Repub. filibuster threat prevented from getting a vote on, in the senate. The new house won't have a similar problemo, U lamo's.

Blue Dogs substantially helped Dems to seize the House majority in 06 & 08.

Anyone got a favorite Movie... or a terrible one you love 2 HATE
My netflix queue is getting kinda short, so please share your recommendations.

(Cheers) to the film maker who goes out of his way to make sure guns, costumes and sets are appropriate to a particular locale or period, or b/c a firearm is used to advance the plot or the way guns are handled by the actors

Anti War & Gun hating movies are welcome too. We are the Democratic Party after all !

This is pretty surprising because the NRA has traditionally been an extremely partisan & very powerful Republican lobby.

The National Rifle Association – one of the top all-time donors to Republican candidates – is backing some of the most embattled House Democrats in Election 2010.

a campaign cycle expected to be bruising for Democrats, especially moderates elected in 2006 and 2008. These moderates are evidence of how Democrats successfully moved into Republican territory during the past two election cycles, in large part by putting forward candidates who favor gun rights. Now, the NRA is rallying to the cause of many of these imperiled Democratic, pro-gun moderates

NYC has Sara Brady, you’ve probably heard of her & her organization
Handgun Control, Inc. now re branded
Brady center to prevent handgun violence

Central Texas has Suzanna Gratia Hupp
She’s done as much to promote the concealed carry movement as anyone else.
She ‘Illegally’ carried a gun in her purse religiously for several years, till she got scared of loosing her Dr. of Chiropractic license. A few short months later she watched a crazy person kill both her parents & 21 others in a lubys cafeteria, Killeen Texas, October, 1991.
She wasn’t mad at the guy for going rabidly insane, she was mad at our lawmakers, cause her 1st instinct was to take the clear shot she had on the shooter, after turning over their table for cover, after reaching into her purse, she painfully realized her gun was (legally) in her car.
She tells her own story in her new book.

Molly Ivins: A Rebel Life
By
Bill Minutaglio & W. Michael Smith

I'm a big fan of the late great Molly Ivins, she lived just a few blocks away from me in south-austin, a neighborhood she once described as 'a good place to buy (used) auto parts' (cause of all the old cars parked in folks yards) That's been a good while ago, the yuppie influx has unfortunately changed things considerably. I only met her once & didn't recognize the 'name'. We were amongst the very few delegates in the neighborhood precinct for Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential bid. ~95% Michael Dukakis vs ~5% JJ

Today in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, 65 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives, led by Congressman Mike Ross (D-AR), expressed their opposition to the reinstatement of the 1994 ban on semi-automatic firearms and ammunition magazines. These congressmen cited studies that proved the 1994 ban was ineffective, and they strongly urged Attorney General Holder to stop his effort and instead focus on the enforcement of existing gun laws

Rep. Ike Skelton & Senators Max Baucus, Jon Tester & Mark Begich also sent similar letters. I name all 65 below the fold
