GOP Forces House Democrats To Pull DC Voting Bill

House Democrats pulled a bill to grant voting rights to Washington, D.C., after Republicans offered a motion that would repeal the gun ban for the District.

The move is a clear signal that Democrats have lost control of the House floor on the voting rights issue after minority Republicans presented the Democratic majority with a politically unpalatable motion that their conservative members would be forced to support for fear of angering the gun rights community.

Fifty-two Democrats voted with Republicans on a similar measure to repeal the gun ban in 2004. That would be more than enough support for Republicans to add a repeal to the voting rights bill - something a majority of Democrats would vehemently oppose…

But the Democrats “have gotten the message” on gun control. Yeah, right.

The forces of gun control have deliberately adopted a strategy of deception, confusion of terms, disinformation, and distortion because the American people have consistently rejected their agenda when it is honestly presented. They will say anything to get their stooges elected to office, but you have to box them in as this motion did today to see their true intentions.

“Fearing that many in their party would support Second Amendment rights for District residents, the Democratic Leadership shamefully exploited a rule to kill debate and postpone the vote indefinitely…”

In this case, the House Democratic leadership is so hostile to the Bill of Rights that they are will to deny the citizens of Washington D. C. the right to vote just to forestall the inevitable recognition of their Second Amendment rights. Breathtaking, I must say.
