Senate Shows Obama, to back away from the GUN!

The Senate on Wednesday rejected a bipartisan amendment that would have expanded background checks on gun purchases, a blow to advocates calling for more strict firearm laws after the mass shootings in Newtown, Conn., late last year.

The measure, the product of intense negotiations between Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Pat Toomey and West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, would have extended background check requirements on gun owners. It needed 60 votes to pass, but failed 54-46.

Democrats voting against the amendment were Mark Begich of Alaska, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Mark Pryor of Arkansas and Max Baucus of Montana. (Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada switched his vote to no at the end, a procedural tactic that allows him to bring it up for a vote later.) In addition to Toomey, Republicans who supported the amendment were Sens. Mark Kirk of Illinois, Susan Collins of Maine and John McCain of Arizona.

Scores of onlookers filled the Senate gallery to watch the vote. When Vice President Joseph Biden read the final tally and announced the amendment had not passed, Patricia Maisch, who helped disarm the man who shot former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson in 2011, yelled, "Shame on you!" before walking out of the chamber.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: COLORADO GOP DELEGATES FORM PAUL-SANTORUM COALITION TO COUNTERACT STATUS QUO ROMNEY

‘CONSERVATIVE UNITY SLATE’ OF PAUL-SANTORUM SUPPORTERS DEMANDS VOICE AHEAD OF, AND AT, TAMPA

LAKE JACKSON, Texas – Colorado supporters of 2012 Republican Presidential applicant Ron Paul have teamed up with earlier White House wannabe Rick Santorum, counteracting moderate Mitt Romney’s supporters in a battle over how the Centennial State will represent itself at the Republican National Convention in Tampa.

The move represents the diminished confidence of many Republican activists who are unhappy with Washington insiders’ inflated pressure to coronate an establishment candidate rather than pursue a discussion over whether an authentic conservative will play a pivotal role at the summer’s RNC.

Colorado Republicans split delegate votes between Romney, unified Paul and Santorum supporters

Colorado Republicans are heading to their national convention with their most conservative delegation in years, as supporters for Ron Paul and Rick Santorum masterminded a stunning upset in electing delegates.

At the state convention in Denver today, Paul forces easily were the most vocal, adding their candidate’s name at almost every opportunity. When Republicans sang “Hey, hey, hey, good-bye” to President Barack Obama, Paul backers changed the words to “Hey, hey, hey, Ron Paul.”

The momentum was painful for Mitt Romney supporters, who had assumed when Santorum dropped out of the presidential race this week they’d have a much easier time in winning Colorado’s delegate and alternate seats to the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August.

Instead, some of the Santorum’s supporters united with Paul’s backers to form the “Conservative Unity Slate” to win a slew of delegate slots. Four years ago, only one Paul supporter was elected to attend the national convention.

“This is a revolution,” said Florence Sebern of Denver, an “unpledged” delegate who was wearing a Paul pin. She was part of the slate.

Slate supporters said they wanted to send a message to Romney about the importance of sticking to conservative values.

More than 800 Republicans — easily double the number who sought to attend the RNC in 2008 — ran for the 33 elected delegate and 33 elected alternate slots.

At congressional assemblies Thursday and Friday, Republicans elected 21 delegates and 21 alternates. Thirteen of the 18 winning delegates elected Friday were on the Paul/Santorum unity slate…

I have been dazzled by the quickness we are spinning right now, we must have really picked up speed... It's been day & Nite, radpidly rotating and causing a lapse in judgement when applied to time. We shall see what is in the cosmos for us in 2012...? Interesting insights from the wizard show there is only the inner most thought in everyones mind, as if we have all had the same dream.. You know the dream.... Categorize as defiant at times, I often feel like I'm the most intelligent being in my surroundings. Rebellious at heart, any strength I have acquired I can now multiply it's intensity. Fear isn't the tactic, it's the the reaction from being lied to. Wait you'll be more surprised to see the Gui-Chit, On your knees, head forward, that's chit.

Hold on tight cause, something is changing and its coming quick... I am not one for predictions, but I'm guessing Ron Paul is going to win the 2012 Presidential Election, and a week before his inauguration he will Start Pursuing his passion for Poker. It's obvious how he is quick to smile at one's mistakes, but forgets when to establish which side he takes. This is due to the fact that Ron Paul has no reason to explain the other candidates tactics that don't work. It has been hard enough for him to get his word out, and he is being shunned again by the main stream media.
