I hate Orson Scott Card. I loved this book. But Ender's Shadow would have been a better place to start with a Movie. lol

May 3 Bean commented on Mother of the Year.

@39, I tend to agree. Scream in their faces! Haley, you are a responsible gun owner. And I think as responsible gun owners, we should take the lead in this discussion. If not, every extreme nutcase, for and against, gets to lead the way to nowhere.

I haven't met a paywall I couldn't walk past like a panhandler.

Hey Goldy, I'll go in on one with ya.

Mar 22 Bean commented on What Happened to Maureen Walsh's Courage?.

@11

You entirely miss the point but anyway...

Walsh is not spineless by any means. But if you want conviction out of pols not in your district, that's what you will find in the field of candidates that want to replace her. Hardcore, batshit crazy, God fearing, bible humping conviction.

Mar 22 Bean commented on What Happened to Maureen Walsh's Courage?.

It's completely unfair to target Walsh on this. That is her district. And I know that district very well. That district has support for gay marriage but not gun control. It's close. Most people there probably would support universal background checks. But there is a faction that has been trying to target Walsh for years since her vote on civil unions. And this is would be the "ammo" they need to whip up a frenzy. And trust me, these folks are complete nut cases. They hijacked the local county republican party and they are full of a bunch of religious zealots. You know that legislator Klippert in the 8th? Those are his people. We don't want one of their ilk in the State Senate. It will definitely make matters worse.

Bottom line is, if we are going to universal background checks in this state, you are going to have to do it with strong democratic support, and good republicans who aren't up against other bat-chit crazy republicans.

Don't hit Walsh on this. It could be much worse without her.
