Interesting indeed. The part about how he's trying to outspend the NRA was interesting. I hope the campaigning politicians realize that: A) His donations represent the ideals of one person while the donations of the NRA represent the ideals of millions of paid members and likely millions of additional supporters and B) The NRA has been around for a long time and will continue to be around for a long time, but when Bloomberg is gone, so are his donations.

Since we're talking money, which is fine, you ought to look into the Joyce Foundation and how much they spend on gun control efforts. I think it was Permanent Waves who pointed this out to me and it's pretty astounding. They're probably a bigger problem than Bloomberg, partly because they fly under the radar.
It's too early in the day to get angry. I'll look into it later so I can be mad while I try to sleep.
Okay off the money subject, I also found it interesting that the NYPD has a 35% higher shooting death rate than Chicago at its worst (46 per 100k vs 34).

I'd like to see a good breakdown of how many were truly justified (a civilian wouldn't face charges if they were in the cop's place), vs. how many weren't. The statistic doesn't mean anything until that is accounted for.
Why do people join liberal protests? Apparently they pay better; here's a letter to the editor in the Des Moines Register: http://news.nationalreview.com/?FFI...ocrats-audacity-attack-ernsts-money/13755081/
I was recently contacted by the Joni Ernst campaign asking me to come out and support her at the State Fair on Aug. 8. It was simply one Iowan asking another to come out in support, if they had the time.
The anti-gun special interest group Mothers Demand Action is also making calls about seeing Joni Ernst on Aug. 8. They are offering to pay for parking, admission, food and giving you a free T-shirt to protest Joni Ernst.
Yet the Democrats have the audacity to run attack ads about Joni Ernst's money from special interests groups. There will be two groups there to see Joni Ernst speak. Only one has been paid to be there.
