"What's good for the country?" is no longer what's on voter's minds. "What's in it for me?" has been and will continue to guide our political policy until our once great nation is left in ruins.

The only thing more strict guns laws will accomplish is it will be harder for a law abiding citizen to purchase a gun. The criminals don't follow the law.

I just heard a Democratic congressman say we need to make it tougher for felons to get guns. Hey Bozo, it is already ILLEGAL. How do you suggest we make it "more illegal"?

So let's get this straight, what part of the debt of Obamacare did George Bush have?

And of course, you're telling us there's never been any evidence of corruption in Chicago, New York City, Boston or anywhere else up North?

Evidently, you don't remember that the Democrats ran Georgia for over 150 years. Not much has changed; one side is as bad as the other. It's one party rule that is the problem.

As a Democrat, I find Mike Luckovich's cartoons a little counter productive for the party. It is at times extremely partisan and childish.

Can someone tell me how we get guns away from criminals? Not the law abiding. CRIMINALS ! Heard an acronym---FFGL. It means Fuzzy Feel Good Legislation.

"Legislature not likely to do much for transit" Well let me put my shocked face on! Heaven forbid our legislature actually take real action on transit in order to relieve road congestion and give citizens an alternative to sitting in a vehicle (be it a car, bus, van pool, motorcycle, truck, or SUV) in traffic jams.

Just FYI, the FICA rollback was not a tax increase. The tax was already 6.2% and was reduced TEMPORARILY as part of the stimulus package you love to hate. Now it's gone, and it doesn't look so bad, does it?

Why is it that the red states that are always whining about big government are the states that pay the least in taxes and take the most in welfare and government hand outs? Hypocrites to the end.

You are anti-abortion and pro-guns, so how does that work again?

We as a country have lost our collective minds when we value the "right" to own an assault weapon or large capacity magazine more than the lives of precious children and the thousands of others killed each year by guns.

I've never seen such pessimism. In Australia, after a mass shooting, they enacted strict gun control and a gun buy back program. Firearm homicide rate fell by 59%. It can be done. And, this notion that we shouldn't even try while our children die is insane. Shame on you people.

Republicans are the one sentence problem solvers. Guns, debt, healthcare, war, climate change and many more can be solved by doing one thing and doing it alone. Simple solutions for simple minds.

I finally understand why older Republicans are angry. They realize that they will be dead soon, and that a younger, more progressive generation will undo all of their silliness and bigotry. It has to be frustrating to know time is not on your side.
