Don't Look Now, Republicans ...
... but your hypocrisy is showing - and it's being broadcast all over the country.
All of your blathering about how women shouldn't have the right to an abortion because every baby's life is precious - well, in case you haven't noticed, that's going to be a hard sell now, isn't it?
Have your think-tank geniuses come up with a marketing plan to promote the idea that life begins at conception - but ends in an elementary school classroom?
Have you figured out a way to explain to your voters that while you're deeply committed to "precious children", that shouldn't prevent you from putting automatic weapons into the hands of criminals, the mentally unstable, and every other whack-job who shouldn't suffer the inconvenience of a background check?
I'm sure Republican politicians are hesitant to put a price on a child's life. But we've all actually seen the number you've attached to children's lives - and it directly correlates to the number of dollars that flow into your campaign coffers from the NRA and other gun advocates.
The nation has had to face up to a few cruel realities in the past few days - the most glaring of which is the fact that when you vote for a Republican, you are putting a gun into a potential murderer's hands.
So you have to wonder how many parents are willing to put a gun into the hands of someone who might use that weapon to slaughter their own children.
I'm not seeing a lot of takers - do you?
Yes, Republicans - your hypocrisy is on full display. And I doubt that "Spare the the automatic weapon and spoil the child" will be a winning campaign slogan come November.

So many of us are.
But stay focused on the fact that as long as hope is alive-and-well, change is not only possible, it is inevitable.
