Here goes.
Why ...I've thought about it awhile. Here goes.<br /><br />Why did Terry McAuliffe cave? He's a big Clinton supporter and rumored to be in the pool for VP pick if she gets the nomination. Unless he's got something up his sleeve, then he most likely lost his chance there.<br /><br />He can't be reelected here as this state is a one term deal, but he loses a big ally in Bloomberg who was his mega donor during his election. It's never wise to bite the hand that feeds you. Around here, governors usually go on to be US Senators. He needs money for that election.<br /><br />He's angered his minority democrats in Richmond in the House and Senate. <br />He might need them later.<br /><br />He's rabid on gun control. Just like Obama has done at every gun event where several are killed (unless it's Chicago), the governor loves to dance in the blood of the slain.<br /><br />So, unless (once again) he's got an "ace up his sleeve" and thus setting up a trap, none of this makes any political sense. He's just castrated himself.<br /><br />On a minor point, this "voluntary" background check is the ol' "one nose under the tent" business.<br /><br />Back when I lived in TN years ago in the early 90's, the Republicans fell for Gov. McWhorter's temporary raise of a 5 cent extra gas tax to fund roads and highways. When the time limit was up, amazingly (NOT) it suddenly became permanent because it "worked so well" as a temporary tax.<br /><br />In a year or 2, this voluntary background check on private gun sales will suddenly become mandatory because it created a few false positives thus stopping a few sales.<br /><br />Some argue that the legislature could suddenly do this at anytime anyway, so therefore they are willing to "negotiate" with the governor. But I've seen this trick before. Democrats always play from a stacked deck..... always.<br /><br />If we play stupid games, we will win stupid prizes.<br /><br />I simply didn't send people to Richmond to negotiate my rights away.<br /><br />Well, even if no one sees it as I do, I at least hope they understand where I'm coming from.<br /><br />Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967355941603195101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860897900615196454.post-59942414058617371792016-02-08T19:15:46.188-09:002016-02-08T19:15:46.188-09:00Matt, I'd go ahead & read the whole articl...Matt, I'd go ahead & read the whole article, if you have not.
