Vote for Dems, not lockstep ideologues

So now, we are apparently worried about the Ebola virus and possible epidemic here in America. Yet, we have no surgeon general because the Republican cartel of obstructionists refuses to support President Obama’s nominee, Vivek Murthy, a well-respected physician and a public health expert.

But the NRA doesn’t like him because he stated the obvious: That guns are a public-health issue. So the Republican obstructionists fall into lockstep behind the NRA and refuse to approve his appointment.

Really? Isn’t it time that the NRA and gun lovers do not rule this country? Please vote for Democratic candidates, especially Sen. Mark Udall, who actually have some common sense and are not lockstep ideologues.
