Asserts the moderate-liberal pundit in D.C.: "Look at the reaction to the movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colo. Staring us in the face is the reality that this relates to the easy availability of high-powered weapons. Yet the Republican [P]arty, which never met a gun cont[r]ol law it didn’t consider suspicious, will never confront that fact. That’s not so surprising. What is more shocking is that even the leader of the Democrats, President Obama, will hardly ever talk openly about gun control, presumably because the people around him have deemed it to be political poison."
He continues his commentary: "Or look at what has emerged as one of the central threads in the 2012 presidential race: The President’s criticism of Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital. Romney has touted his experience as a businessman as the reason why he should be President, and he has argued that government should be run more like a business. But when Obama’s supporters respond that government, unlike big business, is supposed to benefit all people — not just the investors who profit — the conversation is shut down by charges of 'class warfare.' Wait a second. Just a few months ago Romney’s rivals in the GOP primary attacked Bain’s practices as 'vulture capitalism.' And the Democrats, for their part, often take part in the same type of tactics, relentless in their efforts to caricature venture capital as a rapacious and destructive endeavor. When their allies like Newark Mayor Cory Booker deviate from the party line, they are forced to retract their comments. What hardly ever happens is free-flowing debate that moves forward."
