Uppity Liberals

[Armstead]

12. And that's one reason I like him

First of all he's not a gun nut or NRA stooge.

But he does take something slightly different because, as he correctly has stated "We can continue to argue about gun control for decades and get nothing done. or we can look for solutions that work and get put in place." (paraphrased)

He also -- without sacrificing principles -- realizes the "Whats the matter with Kansas" question ablout why so many conservatives vote against their own interests. You get a little less dogmatic about an issue like guns -- again without sacrificing principles -- in order to weaken that as an issue that turns off the peope who should be supporting liberal economic and social policies.

That not that far removed from the "pragmatic" approach that DLC Centrists claim to support too. Except in this case, sandrs is attampting to do it to gain suopport for actual reform in the economy and related social policies.
