Back to the topic of the thread, I was happy to see I-594 pass here in Washington.  There was little doubt, given the recent shooting at MPHS and the fact that this is an extremely liberal state, but background checks for gun purchases online and at gun shows just makes good sense (IMO).

I was surprised to learn it was the only initiative of its kind in the nation this election.  Maybe we'll see more in 2016.

I'm pretty sure the handlers, assistants, pollsters, etc, etc, know more than you.    My guess is they were well-aware that not denying BFFdom with Obama was worse than saying "NO WAY!!!!"
Clearly. Dems are still celebrating their victories in key races across the country.
So you think you know more than the professionals?

OK then.

Pretty sure the NRA does what every special interest group does(or pretty much what everyone does in negotiations).    Ask for everything while knowing you're getting a compromise. 

I don't think anyone really objects to background checks except those who would be denied gun ownership because of it.

You're assuming a different outcome with a different strategy.   I don't think you can do that.    Pretty sure the advisors did the work that you didn't, that they had access to info that you don't.

But congrats on your high self-opinion.

I don't think I know more than Obama or GMs.  Or coaches.    I don't agree with their decisions on many occassions but I'm sure they're more informed than I am when they make said decision.

You seem to think you know more than the political advisors.    That seems downright dumb.

Yeah, make a stupid statement, take a nap.   Seems about right.

To be fair, he once thought he was wrong about something.  But then realized he was mistaken about being wrong.

It's kinda creepy that you're in your 60s and stalking a man on the internet.
