Congressman Paul Broun marches to a different drummer. Unfortunately in this case, the drumbeat sounds more like machine-gun fire.

At least the Broun campaign could have chosen a model of rifle that isn’t similar to the one that was used to massacre schoolchildren in Connecticut. We’re all for protecting second-amendment rights. But you have to win elections in order to do that. At this rate Broun won’t, because his ship is SINKING.
