Michelle Obama Pens Open Letter To Parents After Arizona Shooting

Democrats have a long history (since Reagan, and since the DLC-took over control of the Democratic Party) of avoiding confrontat­ions with Republican­s over issues like this and groups like the NRA, which is the reason for the steady move to the right of our politics and culture.  Democrats are courting the same groups as Republican­s are.  It's how, while ab0rt!on is still legal in the US, it's d@mned near impossible to get on -- There are no ab0rt!on services in 87% of the counties of the US.   

Imagine all of the issues of the last Congress that d!ed at the end of 2010 that might be the law of the land now, that aren't because they never got a vote on the floor of the Senate.  Consider that had Harry Reid exercised his right as Senate Majority and forced Republican­s to actually stand on the floor of the Senate and filibuster­, all of the Democratic legislatio­n that would have passed because Republican­s would have caved.  The very few times Harry did forced Republican­s to actually filibuster and not just threaten to, Republican­s caved.

Of course Obama has a bully pulpit.  He just refuses to use it.  And that's because he doesn't want to.  He's not for what you think he's for.
