Dianne DeGette Thread

[RblDiver]

Her spokeswoman doubled down on the stupid (from http://blogs.denverpost.com/thespot/...ey-work/93506/ ):

DeGette’s spokeswoman Juliet Johnson issued a statement Wednesday, saying the congresswoman mispoke.
“The Congresswoman has been working on a high-capacity assault magazine ban for years, and has been deeply involved in the issue; she simply misspoke in referring to ‘magazines’ when she should have referred to ‘clips,’ which cannot be reused because they don’t have a feeding mechanism,” Johnson said. “Quite frankly, this is just another example of opponents of common-sense gun violence prevention trying to manipulate the facts to distract from the critical issue of keeping our children safe and keeping killing machines out of the hands of disturbed individuals. It’s more political gamesmanship that stands in the way of responsible solutions.”

How does this POS have a job?
Making legislation that we have to live by, when she obviously has NO CLUE!

[Ah Pook]

I have to applaud the reporter, at the DP (the first time ever), for bringing attention to the stupidity of our elected official.

The Congresswoman has been working on a high-capacity assault magazine ban for years, and has been deeply involved in the issue

You would at least think she knew what the hell she was talking about by now.

Are any of these elected officials even reading this tripe or just passing it along with their name on it?

what a cunt

Apparently she started this in 1998 - and still has no clue what she is banning.

Beginning when she first arrived in Congress 16 years ago, Rep. DeGette has led the charge on introducing bills on multiple occasions that would ban these high-capacity clips, beginning with the bill’s first introduction in 1998. In this Congress, DeGette and McCarthy have once again introduced a similar bill, H.R.308, the Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act, to ban high-capacity magazines.

I am speechless.

And apparently she still does not understand:

Just, WOW

[rondog]

Wow, guess I'd better stop refilling my M1 enbloc clips, my M1903 stripper clips, and my Enfield and Mosin stripper clips, or I'm liable to blow myself up! Oh wait, I'm 57, so my time is limited anyway.....

[Cylinder Head]

Her Facebook page is HILARIOUS right now.

[Dingo]

Oh. My. God. I thought I was jaded to the level of unabashed retardedness these worthless dogs could display, but that takes the fucking cake. Does she think if she banned cardboard cartons, that she could control the food supply and rule the world? Cuz ya know... cereal boxes grow on trees, already shrink-wrapped.

Dumb fucking slag...

My comment disappeared.

This was still there when I looked just now:

Rick Martin She thinks she is better than everyone, a egotistical, narcisstic, pos, politician. She and many others in the state have ruined Colorado.
