The Daily News continues to try and pump up gun control, claiming Democrats are happy<\/a> with Bloomberg’s money dump:<\/a><\/p>\n

“Anxious Senate Democrats quietly celebrated former Mayor Michael Bloomberg\u2019s announcement this week<\/a> that he plans to spend $50 million this year to build a grass-roots network pushing for new gun controls.\u00a0 \u201cIf he is successful, the people he will motivate to vote are extremely likely to vote for Democrats, period, end of story,\u201d said one senior Senate Democratic aide.\u00a0 \u201cIt could help drive Democratic turnout,\u201d said another national Democratic strategist …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nobody believes this which is why all the sources do not want their names used.\u00a0 Are Chuck Schumer<\/a>, Harry Reid<\/a> and Dick Durbin<\/a> dancing a jig over this?\u00a0 No.<\/p>\n

“… The goal is to attract 2.5 million supporters, many of them women, who would then be motivated to go to the polls.\u00a0 Those pro-gun control voters are sure to be overwhelmingly Democratic, political strategists and aides said, boosting all Democratic candidates …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If Democrats really believed the antis could motivate people to vote based on their issues they would not have blocked legislation in the Senate<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

“… Democrats say the new spending effort will help far more than it might hurt …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And this is based upon what?\u00a0 Past history proves gun control is not a winning issue.<\/p>\n

“… Another reason Democrats are pleased: Bloomberg\u2019s effort dovetails with their goal of focusing on female voters …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is more of the bogus “war on women” crap leftists have been pushing as of late.<\/p>\n

“… Shannon Watts<\/a>, who heads Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America<\/a>, said she hopes to make gun control as potent an issue as abortion rights among female voters …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Why?\u00a0 Because women are dumber than men?<\/p>\n

“… Gun groups quickly ripped Bloomberg\u2019s move …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

More like laughed out loud.\u00a0 We’ve seen all this before.\u00a0 It is just another astroturfing effort.<\/p>\n
