The Tea Party Will Bring Gun Control Bills into Law

Not directly, mind you. But we will have new gun control laws because of the Tea Party's batshit-crazy politics.

When you get right down to it, people want the government to work. They want their meat and food inspected. They want good medicines to be approved. They want the parks and monuments to be open, the benefits to go to seniors and disabled vets. And most rational people want clean air and water.

Governing in a legislative body means compromising, unless you have enough like-minded allies to pass veto-proof legislation. If there is something that you really want to happen, you have to trade for it. You get some of what you want, the other guy gets some of what he wants, and that's how it works. That's an adult fact of life, kids. Screaming and ranting and histrionics only gets you so far. Eventually, people get tired of your shit and you lose seats.

And what happens if you lose seats is that the people who you wouldn't work with do gain seats. And then they start to pass the laws that you didn't like because you sucked at governing and they feel like indulging in a little bit of payback.

If an AWB passes in 2015, then you can blame the Tea party for wrecking things.

Oh, and conservatives? Just shut the fuck up about whatever is messed up with the Obamacare website. You damn near drove our country over a cliff because you hate the idea that the Democrats enacted a GOP idea for health insurance-- we're supposed to believe that now you're unhappy because the system is a bit glitchy?

Give me a fucking break.
