Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania has a big damn mouth, thank God.  Speaking about the defeat of background checks, Toomey spilled the beans.

“In the end it didn’t pass because we’re so politicized. There were some on my side who did not want to be seen helping the president do something he wanted to get done, just because the president wanted to do it,” Toomey said.

So, if Obama were to find a cure for cancer and it costs a buck fifty a shot, Republicans would vote it down because it would make Obama look good?

We really missed the boat here.  We should have started the rumor that Obama invented the 3-D printed guns.  Republicans would ban them so fast they’d leave a trail of smoke getting to the House chamber.

Thanks to Miemaw for the heads up.
